THE BRAND:

Founded in 2007, Tortilla is Europe’s leading fast-casual Mexican restaurant brand, serving up authentic California-style burritos, tacos and salads.

Tortilla brings Californian street food magic to your neighbourhood, with fresh ingredients, friendly vibes, and good value for money.

Fast forward, Tortilla now operates across more than 100 restaurants globally, including delivery and franchise partnerships in the UK & UAE. The acquisition of Fresh Burritos in France has laid the foundation for exciting European growth.
