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.

Californian-Mexican cuisine. This is a lie. Very bland. Barely seasoned. Made me sad.

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.

During most of the week days, there are a bunch of pop-up food stands and the market gets swarmed with amazing smells. While trotting home one day, I saw a big Mexican flag waving towards the back end of the market. Quickly, I detoured during lunch time and headed through all the stalls to find Freebird Burritos. Swedish owned and operated, these fine Scandinavians made me one of the best carne asada (steak) burritos that I've had in London. The meat was lean and juicy and the spicing was excellent. Add in some tasty refried beans, cheese and a good helping of rice all wrapped in a tasty, albeit flour tortilla. So good and I can't wait to check out one of there other locations.

The staff is great (point 1), and they wrap their burritos like pros (point 2). Pork, beef, chicken and vegetarian burritos are options, as are fajitas and the "naked" burritos which basically shoves all the key burrito gear into a box without a tortilla. I'm not a big meat-eater, but the meat here is great...slow-cooked, no gristle, perfect bite-sizes, mega-tender. I always get an extra side of guac (60p) because it's a rule that avocado makes everything better. In my ideal world I'd add some more kick to it but, hey, that's being extremely picky. One burrito (6 pounds-ish, depending on your modifications) is more than enough for a hearty lunch. Which means I've never tested their chips or salsa or other things (but, note, they exist as options!). Yelp note: my new "secret sauce" is half HOT sauce half mild pico-de-gallo-style sauce. End result? A delicious medium heat. Y'welcome.

Good tacos with a nice atmosphere and decent margaritas…read more Came here with friends from work for a fast bite near our Brock-street office. We shared a big plate of taco ingredients and tortillas. It was all very good and the good news is that with the variety there was something everyone liked. The space was chill and upscale while also feeling trendy. The drinks were also nice, mostly margaritas. In the end, nothing really stood out enough for me to remember or come back for if I wasn't in the area, but it would probably make my easy list of places that won't disappoint near the office.

Unfortunately, Mestizo charges per person and the minimum and maximum is two for this item So I couldn't order for one without paying forty dollars , and I'd be damned to pay that much. Having this rule is ridiculous. I've never been to a Mexican restaurant forcing you to order something that can easily be portioned to one. I ordered a marinated chicken with rice and beans. The beans were out of this world. Such a unique flavor I definitely was not accustomed to in the states. The rice was unfortunately bland. The chicken was marinated in this red sauce and was tasty for the most part. However , when I made my way to the center it became dry and had a weird taste. If you're gonna order this dish, proceed with caution. The dessert really outshined and redeemed my visit somewhat. I ordered the tres leches cake. This dessert is basically like a Mexican version of sticky toffee pudding. There are many overlapping factors. One key difference is tres leches uses a milk and cinnamon base , so it kind of tastes like a horchata cake.
