Ismael's History- About the Owner of Lompoc Tortilla Shop
Lompoc Tortilla Shop is an owned and operated business since 1964. Lompoc Tortilla Shop and Restaurant was founded in 1964 by Ismael's Rodriguez parent's Leanor & Jose Rodriguez. Ismael Sr. (the present owner) learned the ropes of working hard beginning in the kitchen with his parents washing dishes, waiting tables, cooking corn for tortillas and tamales and making deliveries to retail stores. Leonor Rodriguez would make the most amazing food in the restaurant inspiring Ismael. In 1982 Ismael purchased the company from his father. To this day Ismael still maintains the value he learned from his parents as he produces quality products.
"Our products are the food staple of the mexican culture and cuisine. Our family dinners often center around traditional dishes that require tortillas. We have fun creating new healthy recipes for our family as well as enjoying the traditional Mexican recipes. Our products include Tortilla Chips and it's great with salsa, nachos and chilaqules (a traditional Mexican breakfast dish). Our products also include masa (corn dough), great for homemade tortillas, sopes and tamales. Corn and flour tortillas. great for burritos, enchiladas and wraps. We use the highest quality ingredients. We plan on continuing to produce excellent products with our generational experience for our family of customers."
