La Tejana - Washington D.C., DC

“I could not be happier with my decision to purchase the Mini Wedge Press from BE&SCO. I spent many months researching tortilla machines and agonizing over decision of which one to buy. As a start up business without outside investment – it was a big decision with serious financial implications, as I’m sure it is for many entrepreneurs facing similar decisions. I can say with 100% certainty that the Mini Wedge Press remains the single most important and easily the best investment I’ve made for La Tejana and has increased our capacity as a business exponentially. We went from being able to hand press (both with a pin roller and manual metal hand press – and sometimes both) and cook a maximum of 100 tortillas/hour to now cranking out upwards of 500/hour with the machine. I used to lose sleep over the thought of how we were ever going to make upwards of 800+ tortillas in a weekend for our pop-ups, but the peace of mind I now feel having the Mini Wedge Press is wonderful. It’s pretty much the standard bearer if you’re serious about your flour tortillas and is worth every penny if you’re ready to take your tortilla game to the next level.”

– Gus May, Owner

Speedy Stop - Texas

“Switching to the 12-18 Wedge Press was a game changer for Speedy Stop. After 16 years of using pre-pressed tortillas, we developed our own recipe in 2020 and turned to BE&SCO for the perfect solution. Testing our dough at their facility was pivotal, and since implementing the press, we’ve seen fresh taco sales soar, with some locations achieving double-digit growth. Pressing tortillas in front of customers has elevated the experience, and digital ads showcasing the press have boosted engagement. BE&SCO’s support has been outstanding, and we’re excited to continue growing with the help of the 12-18 Wedge Press.”

-Glenn Granger, Food Service Operations Manager

Los Dos Potrillos - Colorado

“We have nothing but good things to say so this should be an easy testimonial to give! To give a little background to anyone not familiar with Los Dos Potrillos, we have four locations in the suburbs of Denver. We use these at each of our locations and have nothing but good things to say! We absolutely love our Wedge Press Combo. We have a high amount of tortillas to press out everyday and this machine makes work a lot smoother for our employees. We appreciate having something so reliable all the time; a big thank you for that! It has been a great addition to our company. We believe BE&SCO is the best in business, hands down. This was a great investment for our company as we rely on dependable partners to contribute to our success as a whole! We constantly hear good reviews on our tortillas and that is all thanks to you guys for providing the equipment to make it happen! To anyone considering working with BE&SCO, the answer should be an easy yes.”

Santa Fe BK - Brooklyn, NY

“For 10 years we were a Husband & Wife dreaming about bringing the best New Mexican food and culture to New York City. During that time our vision evolved but one thing was certain, the tortillas had to be the best and the only way to achieve that would be with a BE&SCO Tortilla Press. Thank you, BE&SCO, for being instrumental in making our dream a reality!”

– John Watterberg, Owner

Meat U Anywhere BBQ - Trophy Club, TX

“As the baby of ten in a Mexican Catholic family we would all have to pitch in to make tamales by hand. We would literally make 300-400 dozen by hand several times a year. It was backbreaking work on my mom and sisters who spread the masa by hand as I stood on a chair at age 5 to grind the meat in a hand-cranked Molino before filling them and rolling them all individually. By investing and partnering with BE&SCO it has allowed us to continue Mama Sediño’s Tamale tradition with my unique filling recipes, her original masa recipe and genuine West Texas hospitality with amazing food keeps them coming back. When you can provide guests with Texas sized tamales filled with smoked brisket, hatch chile y chicken and our turkey ‘n dressing tamales, let’s face it, we don’t open our doors daily to be slow, and the BE&SCO Electric Tamale Machine allows us to produce high volume, high quality Sediño family tamales. The production process still allows us to hand wrap each tamale for quality assurance while maintaining high volume production. We couldn’t be happier with our investment and partnership as BE&SCO is just a phone call away to guide you should you ever need any assistance. I, Andy Sediño, Founder/ Pitmaster/ Owner MEAT U ANYWHERE BBQ, 110% recommend BE&SCO for their cost effective high volume customer service enhancement products. We’re looking to buy a tortilla machine next as we produce over “40,000 dozen” tacos annually. And I couldn’t think of a better partner investment.”

– Andy Sediño, Pitmaster/Owner

That Good Smoke BBQ & Grill - Texas

“We bought a Manual Tamale Machine from BE&SCO about 6 months ago to help with our tamale making process. Prior to buying the machine, we were limited to only making 40-60 dozen tamales once a month because we had to hand roll them. Now that we have the tamale machine, we are able to sell 30 dozen tamales weekly and the demand is quickly growing! The tamale machine is great because it’s super easy to use, even easier to clean and extremely durable. The parts are well made so it operates as designed and there is no worry of parts breaking down or wearing out over time. The tamale machine delivers a consistent product with the perfect ratio of masa to filling. It makes rolling dozens of tamales effortless!”
