The Brand

Founded in October 2007, Tortilla is the UK’s largest fast-casual Mexican restaurant group, offering a high-quality, affordable, and freshly prepared California-style Mexican menu.

Tortilla was founded by Brandon and Jen Stephens after they identified a gap in the UK market for a high-quality, fun, and affordable fast-casual Mexican restaurant that was reminiscent of the taquerias of their native San Francisco—the self-proclaimed burrito capital of the world. We are committed to maintaining the authenticity of our ingredients and preparation methods - we do not have a single freezer on site

Following a period of impressive growth, we operate a multichannel order strategy that enables customers to enjoy our fast, filling, fresh food across dine in, self-serve, take away, click & collect and delivery. This is supported by more than 65 Tortilla restaurants across the UK, 10 sites in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, cloud kitchen estate and partnerships with leading delivery platforms. Last year, we acquired Chilango, further strengthening our position as the UK’s leading fast-casual Mexican chain.

Tortilla has ambition to grow and have circa 150-200 stores in the UK, with exciting growth plans in Europe through company owned and franchise models.
