San Francisco has no shortage of tortillas. What it does not have is an H-E-B. The grocer runs stores only in Texas and Mexico, so a Texan who moved to the Bay Area cannot pick up the bakery flour tortillas they grew up with on a normal grocery run. This page is for that cook: someone in the Sunset, the Mission or Noe Valley who wants a soft flour tortilla for breakfast tacos, or a specific pack they remember from home. Lonestar Tortillas buys genuine H-E-B tortillas in Austin and ships them to California, so a Texas kitchen habit can carry on in a San Francisco apartment.
Texas tortillas in San Francisco
San Francisco is a burrito town. The Mission burrito, the large foil-wrapped style built on a steamed flour tortilla, takes its name from the Mission District and is widely traced to the neighborhood's taquerias in the 1960s. People here know what a good burrito should hold, and plenty of home cooks build their own.
Texas tortilla habits run a little differently. The breakfast taco, with eggs, potato, bacon or beans folded into a small soft flour tortilla, is a Texas staple tied closely to Austin and San Antonio. Fajitas, grilled skirt steak served with flour tortillas, came out of South Texas ranch country. Both dishes depend on the flour tortilla itself tasting like something, and that is the gap H-E-B tortillas fill for Texans living here.
The city also has an organized Texas presence. The Texas Exes, the University of Texas alumni association, has a San Francisco Bay Area Chapter. If you are cooking for a game day gathering of fellow Texans, tortillas from home are an easy thing to bring to the table. Cooks across the bay can find the same products on our Oakland, Fremont and San Jose pages.
