The Tortilla Factory is Herndon’s oldest full-service restaurant, founded 25 years ago. It is the area’s best, and best-known, gathering place for Mexican food. The Tortilla Factory tradition began in 1972 with the opening of a tortilla manufacturing plant in downtown Herndon. To compliment the fresh, stone-ground tortillas, the staff offered a variety of Southwestern fillings and side dishes for carryout only. The traditional Sonora-style cooking became such a hit that they decided to open the Tortilla Factory Restaurant in 1975. Using fresh produce and meats from local vendors and spices from Arizona and New Mexico, the Tortilla Factory has become known for consistently good, fresh and authentic food.

The restaurant has grown into a 200 seat, full service restaurant offering consistently high quality food, low prices, and fast, friendly service.

The menu specializes in Sonoran cuisine featuring Carne Asada, Fajitas, Carne Machaca and Chimichangas. It also features a wide variety of Vegetarian and non-spicy dishes, as well as a children’s menu.

The Tortilla Factory uses only fresh chilis and spices from New Mexico and Arizona; furthermore, all tortilla chips, shells and drink mixes are made on premises.
