Ojai Tortilla House Ojai

Amazing tortillas, spicy salsa, delicious meats what more could you ask for. They do a brisk business to keep the line moving so don’t expect them to chat about life they have a business to run and people to serve. Still a wonderful family just busy trying to make a living. I’m here 3 times a week minimum and it’s always amazing

We were in Ojai because my son was taking a test at a near by school. We were walking around town and walked by the Tortilla house, they were closed so we went into a near by business. When we came out not only was the Tortilla House open but there was a lone down the block. I inquired from a few people in line what all the fuss was about. I was very mature of factly told that this was the best burrito, not only in town, but possibly the best burrito on the west coast. Now I love a good burrito and I feel I've had many near perfect burritos so I just had to eat here and put it to the test. I waited for my son to be done with his test, as he fancies himself a connoisseur of the bean and cheese burrito. I picked him up and we headed to The Tortilla House immediately. We waited in line, looked at the very simple menu, which is very refreshing, to me that says this is what they specialize in and the have perfected it and have no need for filler items on the menu. Burritos, taco, quesadillas, that's it, you choose your meat and toppings but you're only getting one of these three items. While we waited patiently and with growing anticipation in line, I noticed that there was a woman in the back hand making the tortillas as they were ordered. To say I was excited is an understatement. I ordered the al pastor with beans, rice, and cheese. The ingredients were obviously cooked that day, probably as I passed by earlier while they were closed, everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. The beans and rice tasted like my grandma used to make, they were homemade ingredients in a tiny shop and they were wonderful. The tortilla was a work of art, rolled out and cooked with knowledge that only comes from true love of your craft. I cannot express how incredibly impressed I was, how happy this burrito made my palate, how exquisite the flavors blended together. I cannot say it was the best burrito I have ever had, but it sure was close.
