Food Review: Pueblo Lindo Flour Tortillas

I love tortillas, in fact, I like them better and eat them more often than I do sliced bread.
Not just a vessel for deliciously serving up Mexican delights, tortillas are versatile. You can use them to create a great deli sandwich wrap; cut them into quarters or slices and fry them to enjoy as chips or as a topping on soups and salads; they make a great impromptu pizza crust; bake them into a cup or bowl shape to create an edible vessel for dips, salad or fruit; use them as an alternative to noodles for casseroles - think lasagna. Bonus #1, they can be served up savory or sweet! Bonus #2, they freeze well, better than sliced bread in fact.
Today I'm reviewing Pueblo Lindo Flour Tortillas. Pueblo Lindo is an Aldi brand, featuring a full line of authentic Hispanic foods to include tamales, beans, peppers, tortillas, cheeses, frozen treats and more.
I sampled the tortillas straight out of the bag, as a sandwich wrap, with tacos, and I fried some up in strips to enjoy as a crunchy topper for soup & salad. I enjoyed the tortillas in every way. Straight out of the bag they were soft and pliable, with the neutral flavor that is typical of a flour tortilla. That's the beauty of flour tortillas, they provide a nice texture element in celebrating all the flavors you put in them, the tacos I prepared were awesome, with the tortillas nicely delivering all that great taco flavor! Fried up into strips and dressing them simply with a light dusting of sea salt, they also provided a nice crunch with a cream of potato soup and a side salad.
Costing me $1.92 for a 20 count bag of fajita sized tortillas, I'm giving Pueblo Lindo Flour Tortillas 5 out of 5 Bachelor on the Cheap stars. They're tasty, reasonably priced, every bit as good as a name brand tortilla and definitely worthy of a repeat buy. Compare the price to brand name Mission Fajita Super Soft Flour Tortillas at $3.49 for a 20 count bag at the mainstream grocery store. That's a savings of $1.57 for something I don't think anybody could tell the difference of - Pueblo Lind vs. Mission - in a blind taste test. This tortilla comparison is yet another example of why shopping at Aldi rather than the mainstream grocery store is a prudent move that will save you A LOT of money.

I used to buy Pueblo Lindo's 70 mg sodium content small fajita tortillas ,(20 pieces bag).. I am on restricted salt diet, so I could eat the tortillas without any dietary concerns. In the past year these low sodium tortillas completely disappeared from Aldi's shelves. I inquired directly from their help department, to which i got a prompt response that they should be available in stores. Tried again to find the tortillas, no dice. I wrote again (there's no person to talk to directly on the phone, only email), and got the same exactly phrased response, which tells me that the response is canned. Conclusion: ALDI's DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ITS CUSTOMERS.

If it doesn't sell Sherlock, then they're not going to keep it on the shelves.

My opinion only. Worst flour tortillas ever. Not fresh and nothing soft about them. I will cut costs elsewhere but not on my tortillas. Have tried these Pueblo Linda tortillas a try twice. Won’t be a third time. Especially when I am going to throw them out which doesn’t save me money since I will have to go buy replacement tortillas.
