When I first tasted Manila Tortilla’s product, my notion of the perfect taco experience in Manila has been changed forever. There was a sudden realization: the tortillas are just as important as the toppings—delicious fillings deserve an equally good wrapper. There was no way I was going back to grocery-bought tortillas after this. OK, maybe I would still occasionally use them, but the experience wouldn’t be as delightful, and I would always think about Manila Tortilla.
Among the hordes of Instagram sellers these days, this one simply stood out for me with their beautiful feed, delicious offerings, and premium product. We know that bread, when delivered freshly made, is the best kind—but how come it took us a while to realize this for tacos? Manila Tortilla makes theirs on the same day you want them at your doorstep—and they are best consumed right away.
Manila Tortilla's freshly handmade tortillas are AMAZING. They are thin but incredibly chewy, it’s almost like munching on naan. Best of all, they hold up even with heavy (and wet) toppings! Don’t you just hate it when your tortilla breaks while eating your tacos? Or when all the meat juices flow THROUGH it?
If you’re making tacos yourself, you may purchase their tortillas at PhP600 per pack of 20, but if you’re too lazy to cook, then you can just order from their selection of taco kits. The packaging is super creative and cute—but as you know, I’m not one who would fall in love with a product simply because of packaging. What’s inside is what matters—and I’m happy to announce that the taco kits are incredible.
I love the Pulled Pork Kit which comes with carnitas, salsa fresca, pickled onions, lime, and of course, fresh tortillas. The pork is flavorful and addicting while the salsa packs a little heat. If you are vegan, get the Eggplant Kit which has sweet and salty braised eggplants, paired with corn salsa and pickled onions. I love it! In fact, I think I enjoyed this meatless taco more—the flavors are wonderful!
Recently, I collaborated with Manila Tortilla as well for my little Instagram cooking project called #FeedMePepe. I made Banh Mi Tacos using their awesome tortillas and I’m so happy to say that everyone loved them! It’s a great feeling to get my followers and friends to try amazing products such as these tortillas through my home cooking!
When you order from Manila Tortilla, every kit comes with an instruction card so you can assemble and enjoy your tacos the best way possible. I recommend steaming the tortillas as instructed in the kit (doing so really retains that softness and chewiness) but if you’re super lazy—just go ahead and eat, LOL! They would still be good (and better than every other tortilla out there).
So, if you’re ready to elevate your tacos (and quesadillas, and tostadas, and burritos)—check out Manila Tortilla on Instagram. Thank me later!
