Tortilla has acquired fellow Mexican food chain Chilango for £2.75 million from investment firm RDCP Group.

Chilango operates eight sites across the UK which offer both eat-in and take away options. The company also has a delivery channel which is supported by it own delivery kitchens.

Tortilla said the move will accelerate its expansion across the UK and boost its presence in central London as it looks to benefit from Chilango’s  high-quality locations and the trend for workers returning to offices.

As outlined at its IPO in October 2021, Tortilla plans to open 45 sites over the next five years.
