Fast and friendly service, fresh and tasty mexican street food to sit in or takeaway and 'everything can be made vegetarian' by swapping out the meat for the guacamole where required if you wish. Tortilla is right alongside the entrance beside the Tesco end. Vegans arent mentioned on the menu but they are pretty clued-up and flexible and there are plenty vegan friendly fillings. Whats not to love?

Looks like it just opened, we were attracted by the huge queue going all the way from one side of the restaurant to the other. The staff told us that they are giving away 1000 free burritos today. As I love burritos (and all Mexican food really) I couldn't resist this offer. Tacos were also included in the offer so my daughter got some tacos and my wife and I each got a burrito. There are plenty of options available for the burritos: Grilled chicken, barbacoa or carnitas are the meat fillings. They have black beans or pinto beans, peppers, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa/sweetcorn salsa, hot/medium sauce, lettuce, lime juice, onions, and coriander. There are two options for the rice in the burritos, tomato or coriander. The burritos were good, we tried chicken and pulled pork (carnitas). The tacos were definitely better than the last time I got tacos from Pinto, however my wife prefers Pinto's burritos. We ate the tacos too as my daughter didn't even want to try them (she's only 22 months old and quite fussy!).

Not done a review in a while Since this is my first time in a relatively newly opened eatery in the ever improving Silverburn complex I thought I'd give my rambling thoughts I was anticipating this place opening with much salivation, anyone who hates Mexican food must love Donald Trump...... That says it all really The place is build to very much be a quick pit stop and not a longer lasting experience, if you want a chat while you pick at your food try somewhere else .... This is really fast food Ordered large grilled chicken burrito, go through the add on station..... Cheese , sour cream guacamole for 70p more ..... Eh what you're kidding...... Got me there you buggers! The rest are free just the guac is extra Opted for tomato salsa, some mild sauce and Mexican rice Got to the till point, really friendly blonde girl serving smiling at everyone and giving some chitchat, she's a real asset to the place. The burrito was tasty but not that filling, I was really hungry ..... And after paying close to £7 for this burrito ..... I felt unsatisfied after? That's really the let down part for me and as I did come to get fed I left feeling half empty Expected more for the price of I'm honest Next time I'll just get 2 regular ones for £5 each and skip the guac

Really nice food i ordered a burrito with beef and cheese i really enjoyed it. The customer service is pretty standard nothing too nice. The vibe was pretty calm in the restaurant. nothing that catches my eyes i would say my money was worth it. read more
So I'm a bit of a burrito fan and there's a lot of new burrito happenings in Glasgow - are burritos the new burgers? Maybe pizza has already taken that crown. Anyway, I don't know much about Tortilla apart from that it's a chain and just opened at Silverburn, and seeing as I needed to go to Paperchase anyway, decided to go here for lunch. Tortilla is where Aunty Anne's used to be (Aunty Anne's has just moved to a central spot in Silverburn so don't fret if you're a pretzel love), near Tesco/Cineworld and isn't the biggest place - there's a seating area but it's definitely smaller than the rest of the places in the food court/cinema area. The set up is a bit like Pinto/Barburrito/Chipotle - order at the counter and they make your burrito fresh to order, then you take your food and get a seat. I went for my standard order - a naked burrito with pork, sour cream, cheese and mild salsa. They have an choice of rice - coriander or tomato, as well as a few more salsa options than I'm used to but overall the experience is pretty standard. Meat options include chicken, beef, pork or veggies. I also liked that you have the choice between a medium and large burrito. I'm sure the people in front of me were charged extra for sour cream and cheese, but I don't think I was so I'm not quite sure about that - maybe it was just my lucky day (the menu does say that sour cream/cheese are extras). I also got a can of Fanta and it came to about £6 all up which isn't bad for a lunch in Silverburn. I took a seat and dived into my naked burrito. And you know what, it was damn good. A nice amount of pork and other toppings and the rice was really nice (I had coriander rice). A good sized meal, nicely filling without being too crazy and tasty. I added some of the hot sauce which is on the tables too for a bit of an extra kick. All up, I was impressed. They also do quesadillas (chicken only) and nachos but only after 3pm. WHY?! What if I want that for lunch?! So weird. Other things to note: they do veggie options (not sure about vegan) and cater for gluten free/coeliac, and the chicken is halal. They have a whole lot of literature about the "provenance" of the food which is a bit OTT to me, and while they are a chain they apparently aren't part of a bigger group so try to pitch themselves as a little guy. The seating is a little awkward as you're right near the walkway and I found there was quite a lot of people standing right over my shoulder to read the menu - so don't sit on the outer seating bit if that might bother you (it sure as hell bothered me). Would I go again? Yes - I don't love the food options in Silverburn I have to say, and I do love a burrito so this is probably going to be quite high on my eating options list when I'm at Silverburn. read more
After a run of poor lunches at Silverburn I popped in here to see what was on offer. Pure, digestible gold was the answer. I went with a large beef burrito with everything on it and it did not disappoint! It was absolutely packed with melt in the mouth beef, Mexican rice, sour cream, melty cheese and tangy salsa. What a lunch! It not only delivered in flavour but also the portion size is something to be commended. I almost had to give up about two thirds in but it was so good I forced myself to man up and stuff every bit of that foil wrapped goodness in to my face. I think next time I will go for pulled pork although there is also chicken. I'm sure there is a veggie option too but who cares about that when there's so much delicious meat to have! Is Silverburn still open at this time of night? Oh, I might have to go get one for breakfast then. read more

Food was lovely, flavoursome, and not too heavy like some other Mexican chains. And when I was there yesterday there was an amazing 50% off deal which was of course amazing! I had the Quesadilla and then half of a burrito, me and my friend found the portion of the quesadilla much smaller than expected, but again as the price was reasonable it was no problems for us to get an extra burrito to share. My favourites was the Salasa verde and the Hot Sauce from Guadalajara! I also loved the decor, the turquoise leather seats were awesome! read more

I have been excited for this place opening for the past couple of months now. Having just had a burrito from barburrito in Glasgow, the standards were high. However, I was left fairly disappointed. The burrito did have some different ingredients from other burrito places which was nice. However, when eating there was a big bit of chicken that was rock solid. Questioning the freshness on that one. Then when going to pay, the only canned soft drink was diet Irn-Bru. Considering there is a Tesco next door, wasn't impressed! Overall, not the best experience considering it was dearer than most of the burrito places I have ate it in Glasgow. read more

After being disappointed time after time by so-called Mexican/Tex-Mex places in Glasgow, Tortilla is a welcome treat. They bill themselves as California Mexican and I think that's halfway accurate. The absence of any fish tacos is disappointing as that's a huge part of Cal-Mex. Now, Tortilla is in no way a true Mexican restaurant. It is clearly Americanized Cal-Mex. So, don't go expecting real Mexican. That simply does not exist in Glasgow. Tortilla reminds me of a US chain called Q'Doba. Same set up where you choose your meat, beans, cheese, salsa. A good set up in my opinion. The black bean option is right on. Thank you for that. Wished the chicken was a little spicier. The chicken burrito was good. Hubster enjoyed the carnitas burrito. As I said, no fish choice and no queso blanco sauce make this place shy of a real Cal-Mex place. Perhaps queso blanco isn't available in the UK because no one has it. As for a fish taco - in a place with good fish and chips, i.e. Glasgow, one would expect a good Baja style fish taco/burrito. On the whole, I'm happy to have this place in town. I've been missing some decent-ish Cal-Mex and while Tortilla is missing some key ingredients it's the closest of any of the other places in town. It will have to do until El Toro or Chuy's come to town. If you're looking for an alternative to a kabab or a chippie, Tortilla is a good pick. read more

History
Established in 2007.
We're not part of a multi-franchise nor some big soulless restaurant group. Tortilla started with the help of some friends and an awesome effort from our crew... all fanatical (in a healthy way) about making the best-quality, freshest, most delicious burritos and tacos this side of the Atlantic. Today we proudly stand in front of our 45+ stores nationwide (and in the Middle East!) whilst we raise a glass of tequila filled, frozen margaritas and doff our hats to our 500+ crew and loyal burrito fans who have helped make us who we are!
