About

Welcome to our page!

We are El Comalón, a small business created by a Mexican couple who moved to Vancouver and decided to bring a little piece of home with them.

When we first arrived, one of the things we missed most was fresh flour tortillas. We tried a few commercial brands, but quickly realized they were packed with far too many preservatives, which noticeably affected the flavor and texture — and simply weren’t something we felt good about consuming long-term.

So we decided to do what any person with cravings and nostalgia would do: make them ourselves. By hand. Using traditional recipes from Northern Mexico, where flour tortillas are an essential part of the table — and the heart.

In our culture, food is more than nourishment — it’s family, music playing in the background, laughter around the table, and freshly made tortillas on the comal, made from recipes passed down with pride from one generation to the next. We started making them for ourselves, then for friends at gatherings and celebrations… until one day we decided to share them with our neighborhood. The response was incredible.

Little by little, orders began to grow, and what started as a small local project began turning into something bigger. People began recommending us to their friends and family, and we started receiving more and more orders through word of mouth — something that truly means the world to us.

Today, we're excited to take another step forward by making it easier for our community to enjoy our tortillas. Through our online store, you can now explore our products and place your orders directly with us, while we continue working to bring El Comalón to local shops and restaurants across Vancouver.

To those who have been with us since day one: thank you for being part of this story.

And to those just discovering us: welcome. We hope you enjoy our tortillas as much as we love making them, and that soon you’ll be bringing this traditional flavor from our comal to yours.

Thank you for being part of this journey!
