Image for La Perla Tortilleria

Minneapolis, MN

After husband and wife Jose and Noemi Payan moved to Minnesota from Chicago in 1994, they quickly realized that there were no tortillerias to be found. They decided to make and sell their own tortillas under the name La Perla, meaning “the pearl.”  Today, they have dozens of employees, multiple locations, and make and sell more tortillas than anyone else in the city!
