Tortilla, a California-style Mexican food restaurant, is set to open its doors in White Lion Street in Norwich, taking over the former Greggs site. To give the city a taste of their menu, the restaurant is offering free burritos at the site from midday to 1:30pm today, before the official opening tomorrow. The restaurant sits in a prime location in White Lion Street and is decorated with art to create a welcoming atmosphere for diners. General manager Kevin Burton explained that when customers enter, they will be greeted by friendly staff at the counter and will have the option to customize their burritos, naked burritos, or tacos with a variety of protein and toppings, including chicken, pork, beef, veggie chili, and grilled vegetables, as well as additional add-ons like smashed guacamole, chipotle cheese sauce, caramelized chorizo, and double protein. The menu also includes a range of authentic soft drinks, beers, ciders, and margaritas, with happy hour offering discounted alcoholic drinks when purchased with a meal.
The emphasis on fresh, non-fried ingredients sets Tortilla apart from other restaurants, as it receives deliveries five or six days a week and does not use any freezers or fryers. Additionally, the restaurant has a strong focus on creating a pleasant atmosphere, with plenty of art throughout the space to enhance the dining experience. The location of the restaurant is expected to attract a diverse crowd, with the hopes of drawing visitors to the nearby market during the day and those heading to the cinema in the evenings. Customers will also have the option of ordering from Tortilla through various food delivery apps such as Deliveroo, Just Eat, and Uber Eats, adding convenience for those who prefer to dine at home. Overall, Tortilla’s arrival in Norwich has been long-awaited, and the restaurant is ready to offer its fresh, customizable California-style Mexican food to the city’s residents and visitors.
