Tortilla announces Northern Ireland debut

Tortilla will open its first restaurant in Northern Ireland, in Belfast, on 21 July, marking a "significant milestone" for the brand.

The latest restaurant launch is set to create up to 30 new jobs across front-of-house, kitchen and management.

Richard Morris, chief executive at Tortilla, said: "We're thrilled to finally be opening in the city of Belfast. We've got a fantastic location in the city centre and a passionate team who embody the values of our friendly local brand."

Tortilla was founded in 2007 and opened as the first Californian-inspired Mexican restaurant in the UK.

It now operates in more than 80 eat in and take away locations across the country through partnerships with SSP Group plc, Compass UK & Ireland, Growth Kitchens & Karma Kitchens.

The burrito and taco joint bought rival Mexican restaurant business Chilango for £2.75m from investment firm RDCP Group in May 2022.
