    Needed a quick snack before heading out to the next site. This spot is reminiscent of a Chipotle setup, quick menu of customized Mexican favorites at decent prices. Personally wasn't too hungry, so ordered the Guacamole Bowl (£3.60) and Tortilla Chips (£1.20). A little silly that the guac doesn't come with chips, yet no matter because the serving is still large. Chips are plentiful and not too salty. The guacamole is just the right amount of chunky that gives each chip a little heft. Could be more spicy, however there are hot sauces abound to get to your preferred heat level. Also ordered a bottle beer (£3.50) to wash it down, a weak ale that was okay. Fairly satisfied with the speed of service and food. Burritos looked pretty good.

    walking around london sure gave ne the hunger pangs..,,stumbled upon this place called Tortilla. while perusing the menu, figured it was exactly like a chiptole...my daughter immediately yelled "lets eat here pls!!!" ordered a chicken naked burrito bowl, a beef and chicken burrito! before you pay, you fist have to pick out the rice, beans and other toppings you want and the meat of course. what they dont tell you is beef costs .80 pence more. guac also is extra $.,,they will mention it right before they spoon it on your order...lol. bad business practice....:( anyhow, the beef was actually pulled beef. so kinda saucy and shredded like pulled pork. its was surprisingly good. juicy and seasoned perfectly. the tomato rice i picked was cooked perfectly as well. aromatic and full of flavour. definitely enhanced my burrito to the next level. the chicken one was awesome as well. generous portions of chunky roasted ( not boiled or fried) chicken with cilantro rice. chicken was juicy and grilled to perfection. the burrito wrap was grilled first to warm it up and the order wrapped in foil after. small store but with seating up and down the stairs... tip: pick the one down coz its closer to washroom and more cooler... staff wasnt that friendly...no smiles...i asked for ice they said no ice...but forgot that there is a cooler right at the counter with canned drinks on ice...less 1 star for 2 lies... cheers! happy eating!

    I randomly came across a Tortilla on the second floor of Victoria Station. I got the Carnitas Burrito, which cost £5.20. I was surprised. It was actually pretty good. It reminds me of Chipotle. The pork was tender and juicy. It was quite filling and loaded with rice, beans, veggies and salsa. A good place to get your Mexican fix.

    Prime location for a speedy and tasty burrito less than one minutes' walk from Trafalgar Square. This is pretty much the UK version of Chipotle and also has similar claims about using ethically reared meats in its products. What I prefer about Tortilla over Chipotle (as that's its most similar rival) is: -choice between standard and large size -really tasty, bespoke, sauces -cheap nachos -the guacamole is slightly tastier (that's saying a lot as Chipotle's is great) -there's a loyalty card -decent amount of seating If you're after a burrito, this is the place I would recommend.

    Walked in thinking this was a great whole in the wall. The girl at the counter could not understand English or Spanish! Mind you she's Latina, talking to the staff in Spanish. All I asked for clarification on the type of meat they offer. Terrible customer service can't speak the language and then looked at me like I was crazy when I asked her in Spanish of their offerings. Don't waste your time at this lame version of Mexican food. Latinos that don't want to talk to you in their native language, what a joke! Food was bland and cold, definitely not my type of Mexican food.

    This a England's version of American Chipotle. The flavor was good but the serving size was small even when I ordered a large. I would recommend ordering a regular. You pay more but get the same amount of food. But you do get a larger bowl to hold your food. :) The person ahead of me ordered a regular but his food was piled high. There's a cozy dining area upstairs and I believe there is one down stairs as well. Friendly staff. They also serve beer for £4.50.

    Nice but poor place.

    It's always a pleasure eating to Tortilla. It's an experience that I advise to everyone. I tried twice in Westfield at Stratford and I fell in love. Guacamole it's amazing and the large tortilla it's a massive lunch. Perfect if after you don't have to do something. Prices have a good balance between quality of food and service, at the end it's a fast food and not a restaurant but they should be. This style of food deserve a nice place and a friendly and financial service. The 5th star does not coming just because I didn't find as meat, the grilled steak and I had barbacoa beef. A bit disappointed but the meat was really nice however. I can't wait to try Tortilla again, again and again. Poor liver!!!

    Also have seating downstairs. If you want to sit upstairs where there are windows send someone to grab a seat while you order they fill up fast. The food was really good and fresh. For the area it was also reasonably prices.

    Similar to a chipotle, quick and easy. If I'm nearby and hungry I'd go, but I wouldn't specifically decide to go back just for it.

    Tasty burrito. Good value. Quick service. But the guacamole was a bit too salty for our taste. Also, the trays leaked salsa.

Best burger I've ever had? It's up there let me tell you (though that honour remains with Patty & Bun)! What I really liked about Five Guys was the way that burgers could be customised, and how while it looks like fast food (but isn't priced like fast food), each burger is made specifically for the person ordering it. And that burger comprises a truly succulent, tasty patty, an amazing bun, fantastic bacon (should you want bacon) and, grilled onions? Yes please again if you want them. Anyway, it all came together into a burger that honestly, WOW. The list of items you can add to your burger was probably 15 or 16 long, the combinations must be immense! And that was accompanied by fries that I would say are the best fries I've ever had. And the nice touch on the wall where they tell you where the potatoes come from was not lost on me. Five Guys. Amazing!

Quite happily, I'm proud to say it's the former. Bombay Burrito is pretty close to what you imagine an Indian burrito to be. Curry, chutneys, chickpeas, salad, chilli (proper spicy chilli) and delicious spices. Each day they have rotating specials meaning the menu is small, but there should always be something new or in rotation. The staff, were great. Very friendly, and packed our burritos to the brim. We were here with a groupon, but that didn't matter, I challenged that one of our burritos couldn't be folded, and was absolutely impressed when it turned out I was clearly wrong. Additionally, we were allowed to pick any beer from the selection. I was surprised at the range of quite interesting craft beers I hadn't seen anywhere else. The 8% one was a refreshing surprise and turned me red (asian glow) within 5 minutes. Whilst there we also scavenged some poppadum crisps from a table that hadn't finished and were friendly enough to pass them our way (I say pass, but really I meant: we asked and took :D). The staff noticed and were kind enough to offer us some additional chutneys to use as dip. Now that's lovely human service. So in all, Indian burritos all things being fair, should take off in a big way. I'm not sure if Bombay Burrito is the chain to do it, but I really hope they do. The combination of great food, drink is a hit. It just needs the marketing drive and the hipsters to support it to really take off.

I've had my first Tortilla-burrito at Yelp event a while back and chatting with the owner, I found out that he's actually from San Francisco - which probably explains why I like their burritos.

I find that a juicy (well-lubricated) burrito is much tastier. Also, do invest in extra-guacamole, as this will uplift the flavour tremendously. (They are a little stingy on the guacamole though.)
