Comeback Kid

The White Tortilla

Orange, Calif.

By Vanessa Cortez

After more than 20 years of absence, Mexican restaurant The White Tortilla made a comeback in the Latino community of El Modena. Due to Chapman Avenue’s expansion in the ‘90s, it had to close its doors.

White Tortilla is at 4420 E. Chapman Ave. in Orange.
