Tortilla Wimbledon to launch with a giveaway of 1000 burritos

Tortilla, the fast-casual Mexican restaurant group, has confirmed that Tortilla Wimbledon will open its doors at midday on 4th April 2012, celebrating with a giveaway of 1000 burritos. Situated on The Broadway, it will serve up their signature burritos and tacos to order, providing hungry shoppers and local workers alike with an exciting new dining option that is fresh, authentic and fantastic value for money.

Tortilla, the UK’s biggest burrito group, was founded by managing director Brandon Stephens, who took his inspiration from the neighbourhood taquerias of Los Angeles and San Francisco back in his native California.  The first restaurant opened its doors in October 2007 and since then Tortilla has become the UK’s biggest burrito and taco chain with a reputation as one of the capital’s most up and coming restaurant groups – in the 2011 results of the Peach Business Leaders Survey, Tortilla was named ‘one to watch’.

The new restaurant will retain the group’s signature modern, clean design, combining the warm woods and exposed brickwork of their Hammersmith site with the open kitchen of Westfield Stratford. A trademark Tortilla Corona Chandelier will take pride of place, along with a new style counter. As for the food, Tortilla is a cut above the average burrito joint: all sauces and fillings are made on site and ingredients are carefully sourced, including barn-reared chicken, Quality-Assured steak and outdoor-reared, Farm-Assured pork.

Wimbledon will be Tortilla’s first new location following a £3.5 million investment from private equity from Quilvest – with plans to open 25 more sites across the UK within the next few years.  It will be Tortilla’s eighth restaurant, with sites already in Islington, Southwark, Oxford Circus, Canary Wharf, Leadenhall Market, Hammersmith and Westfield Stratford.
