la michoacana tortilleria
Michigan's Original Tortilla Factory - Est. 1943
our story
Our tortilla story all started with a young couple from Mexico, Concepcion and Rafael Gutierrez, who came to the U.S. to live the American dream. After years of owning and running several small tortilla operations in Monterrey, the two came to Michigan and set up shop in their home kitchen. They were pioneers in the business, starting the first tortilleria in Michigan. It served the growing Mexican population with the new company logo paying homage to Rafael's upbringing in the vibrant region of Michoacán. La Michoacana Tortilleria officially began in 1943 as it established itself in the heart of Detroit’s historic Mexican Town District. Despite their humble beginnings, the Gutierrez couple became integral members of the Hispanic community by supplying this most loved and essential Mexican food staple.
Over several decades, the company flourished under the stewardship of their eldest son, Fernando, who expanded the business exponentially. Under his leadership La Michoacana provided employment and assistance to many within the very community it served. After Fernando’s passing in the mid 2000's, his sister Connie, successfully manned the ship for an extensive period of time and further expanded operations. Today, it is managed by their great grandchildren making La Michoacana Inc. a fourth generation family run and operated business standing out as an anomaly, as only 3% of family businesses succeed in reaching this milestone. It remains a proud family enterprise dedicated to providing customers with superior tortilla products crafted from only the finest ingredients, ensuring a truly exceptional taste experience. In an era marked by corporate acquisitions and the decline of family-owned businesses, La Michoacana remains steadfast, upholding the principles that Concepcion and Rafael instilled in the company they founded.
