NOTES TO EDITORS

About Tortilla Mexican Grill plc

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.
