English: Tortilla Flat, Arizona is an unincorporated community in the Superstition Mountains in eastern Maricopa County, Arizona, located along the Apache Trail (Arizona State Route 88). With an unofficial population of 6, it originated as a campground for prospectors, and later was a freight camp for the building of the Theodore Roosevelt Dam. It is now owned and operated by Alvin Ross, a farmer from Indiana who purchased the town – which consists primarily of a bar/restaurant, a country store and a mercantile/gift shop – in 1998.

Tortilla Flat's gift shop originally stood where the outdoor patio seating area of the Superstition Saloon is now. The site of the current MercantileGift Shop, which was built in 2009, was originally a motel, which had not operated for many years due to fire damage.
