NOTES TO EDITORS
Tortilla is the largest and most successful fast-casual Mexican
restaurant group in the UK specialising in the sale of freshly made
Californian-inspired Mexican cuisine. As at 1 January 2023, the
Group had 82 sites worldwide, comprising 65 sites in the UK
operated by the Group, 4 sites franchised to SSP Group in the UK, 5
sites franchised to Compass Group UK & Ireland and 8 franchised
sites in the Middle East.
The Group was founded in 2007 by Brandon Stephens, originally
from California who arrived in London in 2003 to find a gap in the
market for quality burritos and tacos. As a result, Brandon
established Tortilla with a mission of offering customers freshly
prepared, customisable, and authentic Californian-inspired Mexican
food.
The Tortilla and Chilango brands are synonymous with an
energetic, vibrant culture, and with providing a great
value-for-money proposition. They embrace fast-growing sector
trends (including eating out, healthy eating, provenance, ethnic
cuisine, delivery) across a variety of locations, through a
differentiated product offering which is popular with a broad
customer base, and a clearly defined multi-channel marketing
strategy. It benefits from flexible site locations and formats, and
a scalable central infrastructure.
