If you’ve ever eaten a fresh tortilla in San Juan del Sur it’s likely it was made by Doña Ramona “Moncha” Lanzas.  Ramona – better known by her nickname “Moncha” – has been making tortillas by hand for 36 years! 

In this video Kathleen Brugger of Time Capsule Video gives us a behind the scenes look at a day in the life of Moncha.

You can find Moncha one block South of Casa Oro Eco Hostel. If you’re in the area stop by, say hello and grab a fresh tortilla or two. You’ll be hard-pressed to find better elsewhere!
