The story
Tortilleria Benelux delivers an artisanal approach to Mexican cooking at Place de la Reine 8 in Brussels. Maestro Daniel Cisneros Perez guides the kitchen using nixtamalization, an ancestral process that soaks corn in alkaline water before roasting, grinding, and pressing. This technique produces fresh tortillas that anchor the menu, providing a distinct texture and clean flavor profile for each preparation.
The kitchen focuses on generous servings inspired by street food culture. Tender beef tacos carry aromatic notes, while quesadillas arrive packed with fillings that benefit from a dash of homemade salsa. Nachos served with guacamole offer crunch and balance, matching the standards of excellent street fare. These plates demonstrate the versatility of the freshly made dough and rich seasonings.
Situated beneath the shade of the Sainte-Marie church, the building displays a modest workshop facade. Inside, the environment feels like an authentic slice of Mexico, with indoor seating now available for guests who wish to dine on location. This change allows visitors to consume the tortillas while they remain hot from the press, keeping the focus on immediate freshness.
