Post #1 - February 13th, 2011, 11:19 amI'm looking for a place to purchase a quality Molcajete (Mexican mortar and pestle) as well as a tortilla press. Any recommendations, especially near downtown? Thanks.

Post #2 - February 13th, 2011, 5:56 pmNot very close to downtown, but I bought my molecajete at Supermercado Chapala in Rogers Park. It is pretty heavy duty, and I have been very happy with it. It looks like solid volcanic stone, but it might be actually cast from some sort of concrete-like compound. I bought it over a year ago, but I would imagine they still sell them. They also sell both aluminum and wooden tortilla presses.

Post #6 - February 23rd, 2011, 5:24 pmIf you can wait until Sunday, you'll have a huge choice of really authentic Mexican cookware (and tube socks) at the Maxwell Street Market. In particular, there's a vendor at one of the cross streets near the highway...it might be at Taylor or at Polk, not sure, that has all the metalware as well.
