Handmade tortillas in Barrio Logan since 1933.

Las Cuatro Milpas has served Barrio Logan since 1933, a San Diego institution where the line forms early for handmade corn and flour tortillas pressed and griddled to order, chorizo and eggs, and rolled tacos.

A signal you can check.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Las Cuatro Milpas cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again.
