  • Walk in and you can watch corn being nixtamalized, ground and worked into masa on the molino to your left. The Express-News, which crowned Adelita's stone-ground corn tortillas in its tortillería shootout, says that same maize makes a killer batch of tamales, and the Borrego family has been running the place since 1938. Fillings are pork, chicken or beans, with jalapeños available in the pork and the bean. Order the chicken: the masa reads brightest against mildly seasoned poultry.
