Hola,

has anyone here used this type of tortilla press?

I'm planning a small restaurant that would sell around 200-300 tacos
per day and am wondering if this sort of device is easy and efficient
enough to handle such a volume. The alternative seems to be to spend
around U.S.$10,000 to get a huge machine that would surpass my
production needs by a country mile. I live in a country where
tortillas effectively don't exist, so buying them from a vendor would
not be possible.

Gracias anticipadas

I haven't used it but I do have a question. One of the things that makes a
standard tortilla press so easy to use is the fact that you can easily put two
sheets of plastic grocery bag wrap for non stick capability. This machine looks
like it might be hard to keep the masa from sticking to the rollers, unless you
went to the trouble to make plastic strips. Really, the standard tortilla
press works just fine. And you can get pretty fast with it.
