Last
weekend my boyfriend and I were treated to a lovely lunch from the
wonderful people at Tortilla. We decided to visit the Oxford Circus branch as we were busy splashing the cash on Oxford Street on Sunday
and a trip to Tortilla was just what we needed after all the
strenuous shopping we endured.
If
you haven't heard about it before, Tortilla is a fast food restaurant
which serves delicious Californian style Mexican food. I must say, I
think Mexican food has to be my favourite type of food at the moment
and there's nothing I love more than a huge burrito or black bean
salad for lunch. Therefore, I was super excited to try what Tortilla
had to offer to see whether it would sway me away from my fist love:
Chipotle.
The
first thing I noticed when entering the restaurant was the amazing
decor. The place had a really cool, laid-back vibe with lots of cool
art work on the walls and the most amazing chandelier made out of
Corona bottles! What could be better! We then went to order our food,
and if you have ever visited Chipotle, it was a very similar
concept. Choose what you want- Burrito, Naked Burrito (a bowl/salad)
and then you go along the line and tell the lovely lady exactly what
you want inside. I went for the 'Naked Burrito' (which is all the
good stuff without the calorific wrap) and Ben went for a large
burrito (of course).
The
food was absolutely delicious and we both made many appreciative food
noises as we devoured it. The portion was pretty big but we both
still managed to finish it all off and were very satisfied
afterwards. You don't get that horrible sick feeling afterwards when
you know you have just eaten too much of something very naughty as
the bowls are a pretty healthy lunch option. I must say, I still
don't think the food was quite as tasty as Chipotle, however, the
decor and ambience of Tortilla was a lot nicer and a huge plus point
if you want to go somewhere to enjoy you meal rather than just a
grab-and-go kind of place. Overall,
we had a very nice lunch and Tortilla is the perfect place for a
quick lunch date with delicious food where you know exactly what are
you are going to get. Thumbs up from me.
the bottles on the ceiling are a nice touch to the atmosphere. The food looks delicious too.
