Award-winning bakery for Sonoran flour & corn tortillas
"This sunny retail store in Kansas City’s historically Latino Westside neighborhood was famous for its flavorful nixtamalized corn tortillas and supple Sonoran-style flour tortillas long before it won the James Beard Foundation’s Outstanding Bakery award in 2023. Sample a pork-fat flour tortilla hot off the press while you shop for bracing chiltepin salsas, tangy aguas frescas, and freezer-ready tamales made with Yoli’s signature masa. Know before you go: Yoli serves a compact lonchería menu Thursdays through Saturdays, with a couple small tables for dine-in." - Liz Cook
