TORTILLA FLAT, ARIZONA ☀️🌵 Population 6‼️| Small-town Travel & Tourism

[@thehoneybadger8089]

The actual area originally called Tortilla Flat is now under Canyon Lake where Tortilla Creek runs into it.

[@smalltowntourist]

Are you saying there's a town or maybe even a trading post under water after Canyon Lake was created? If so, that's extremely interesting. ☀️🌵

[@vickielewis6268]

It’s amazing how they are busy enough to use all that product in a year! So wonderful

[@smalltowntourist]

This time a year, @tortillaflat gets slammed with people. Their patio is open with live music daily. The drive there and back, coupled with the live music and fantastic food makes the journey so worth it 😎☀️🌵

[@justnerdystuff]

Back in my day though, Tortilla Flats was where you went to party out in the boondocks, the parties were call boondockers (I don't think there was anything but maybe an old shack there in the 70's) Riding with you via internet, I felt like I was home again, heading out to Canyon Lake. I could actually feel the heat...maybe that's because as I watch this it's 100 degrees outside as I now live in New Mexico. But it brought back memories, 10 of us riding in the back of a pick-up in the 70's. No sunscreen, just lots of babyoil, to get a nice tan. Oh, and "Storm" season is actually called "The monsoon" season, one of my favorite times of the year in the Southwest.

[@smalltowntourist]

There's nothing like a good monsoon! 😎☀️🌵

Great road for motorcycles. Reminds me of my younger years.

[@smalltowntourist]

I've ridden my Road King on that road many times 😎☀️🌵

[@paulturner3553]

I'm not familiar with the Road King. I was thinking of a 1 or 2 cylinder bike with 400-650CC's under the gas tank. My last bike was a 1977 650 twin Yamaha. Even it's 475 pound weight was at the upper limit of the desirable weight range of a sport bike. Sold the bike around 25 years ago.

[@smalltowntourist]

@Paul Turner that's awesome! My first bike was an '82 Yamaha Virago 750

[@paulturner3553]

@@smalltowntourist, That was the bike that had a Harley style engine as I recall. What is your understanding about the engine life/reliability on these 750/920 Yamaha's? I understood that the 650 Yamaha twin had a 100,000 miles engine expectancy in a well cared for engine. Only BMW's survive as long/longer before needing a rebuilt engine.

[@smalltowntourist]

@Paul Turner I know those older Yamaha's are well sought after because they ran/run forever

[@alandisomma-od5fz]

I put a dollar on the wall many many years ago. All these bills are new since the restoration burned down a long time ago. Me and a friend drove up there last year. He had his 64 Corvette and I had my 96 Mazda Miata. What a great drive. Don’t forget to get the brisket sandwich. WOW. SOOOOO GOOD

[@smalltowntourist]

Yes! Their food has dramatically improved over the past couple years. The dollar bills on the walls has become one of my favorite parts of TF. I love reading them to see where the people were from and when they were there. Great post! Thank you!! 😎☀️🌵

[@EmmasMom-vi8qf]

Loved the “ouch” right at the beginning! Welcome to Arizona! I love Tortilla Flat. The drive up there is among my favorites. We don’t live far from there & often head up there for lunch.

[@smalltowntourist]

One of these days I hope to remake this video. It was my first one and I didn't really know what I was doing lol. Thank you for checking out my channel and taking the time to post your comment 😎 ☀️ 🌵

[@g.c.v.8329]

Thanks a lot for this video, I hope you can give us another nice video from AJ. Congratulations

[@smalltowntourist]

I love Apache Junction. I'd like to do a video on the Superstitions sometime ☀️🌵

[@CS-uc2oh]

I literally laughed out loud when after saying we'd be in the ICU for 2-3 days if bit by a rattle snake, he throws his hands up and exclaims "But this place is incredible" 🤣🤣

[@smalltowntourist]

That's funny! I rewatched that part just now. I'm a bit of a goofball 🤣☀️🌵

[@tomdobbs8205]

We are moving to AZ soon. After watching your video on Tortilla Flats we will definitely do a day trip to check it out. Thank you!

[@smalltowntourist]

My pleasure! Arizona is such a beautiful state and worth exploring. Tortilla Flat has great food and its relatively close and easy to get to. Thank you for your comment 👍

[@harryvlavianos4562]

It's a great ride, if you have time, on the way out at Canyon Lake, they have the Dolly, a tour boat, also a nice stop.

[@smalltowntourist]

Yes, and there's a good chance you'll see the Arizona big horn sheep and Bald Eagles 👍

[@tomdobbs8205]

Thank you. I’ll be interested to see what you share in the future.

[@smalltowntourist]

There's a lot of great small towns in Arizona I'll be visiting. Stay tuned 😉

[@Tmanaz480]

[@jeremieking]

Hello! This is Jeremie and I work with Tortilla Flat. We would love to share your movie on social media. We would make sure to brag about and link to your channel. What do you think?

[@smalltowntourist]

That would be awesome! Thank you!

[@jeremieking]

[@smalltowntourist]

Is this the correct FB page? facebook.com/TortillaFlatSaloon/

[@jeremieking]

@@smalltowntourist That's us :)

[@LiveFRMtheGUTTER]

I thought tortilla flats was in compton 😂

[@smalltowntourist]

😎☀️🌵

[@hatednyc]

If the population is 6, why does the restaurant have so many seats?

[@smalltowntourist]

Excellent question! Tortilla Flat is a popular destination for people from other Arizona cities. Every day, hundreds of people make the journey up the scenic Apache Trail and dine at Tortilla Flat. ☀️🌵

[@thehoneybadger8089]

There are only 6 full-time residents.

[@LCwingedhorserider]

Waitress serving your sarsaparilla seemed rude.

[@smalltowntourist]

I think she wasn't real keen about being on camera. She didn't say it, but that's the body language I was reading. Who knows? Maybe she was having a bad day 😉☀️🌵

[@LukeShort-q5t]

TRAVELED THE HIGHWAY TO HELL HIGHWAY 88

[@smalltowntourist]

One the most spectacular roads in Arizona ☀️🌵
