Overview
This is a cast iron electric tortilla press made in Mexico, model 13376, sold under the always-quality brand for pressing and cooking corn or flour tortillas, gorditas, and bunuelos on one plugged-in unit.
The category label lists it under Quesadilla & Tortilla Makers, and the title and description confirm that's accurate here, an electric press-and-griddle combo rather than a manual press alone. Finish color varies by unit, sometimes yellow-tinted, sometimes silver or grey, since the seller notes they don't control which finish arrives from the Mexico factory.
- Cast iron construction, made in Mexico
- Electric, combines pressing and cooking
- Works for corn and flour tortillas, gorditas, and bunuelos
- Includes instructions and recipes
Who it's for
Fits anyone making flour or corn tortillas regularly at home who's tired of hand-rolling or a non-electric press, and wants heat built into the pressing step. Less suited to someone specifically wanting chapati or roti, since at least one reviewer found whole wheat dough sticks to the plates.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers who switched from hand-rolling or manual presses describe this as a clear upgrade, making evenly thin tortillas without the soreness of pressing by hand, and several like that it comes with recipes for gorditas and bunuelos too. Complaints center on the roughly 10-minute warm-up with no ready light, tortillas coming out smaller than expected for some, and dough sticking when used for whole wheat flatbreads like chapati rather than its intended corn or flour tortillas.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Combines pressing and heating in one electric unit
- Includes instructions and recipes for tortillas and more
- Heavy cast iron build reviewers describe as durable
- Takes about 10 minutes to warm up
- Whole wheat dough sticks to the plates
- Tortilla size comes out smaller than some buyers wanted
- Finish color varies by unit, not fixed
Performance notes
The unit presses dough and cooks it with built-in heat rather than requiring a separate stovetop step, though it takes about 10 minutes to fully warm up and has no indicator light to show when it's ready. Reviewers making corn tortillas found the best results came from pressing and heating for around 30 seconds, then finishing the cook on a separate hot pan.

Questions about the always-quality 13376
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Does this tortilla maker work for corn tortillas?
Yes, though some reviewers found finishing the tortilla on a separate hot pan after a short press in the unit gave more consistent results.
How long does the tortilla maker take to heat up?
About 10 minutes according to reviewers, and the unit has no indicator light to confirm when it's ready.
Can this be used to make chapati or roti?
One reviewer tried and found whole wheat dough stuck to the plates even with oil, so it performed better with corn and flour tortilla dough.
