Edinburgh restaurants: Mexican takeaway Tortilla to give away free Burritos at launch of new Forrest Road shop

Tortilla is the UK’s largest fast-casual Mexican restaurant brand and will open its second Edinburgh restaurant on November 23

Mexican food fans in Edinburgh have something to look forward to this month after restaurant brand Tortilla announced the launch of their new Edinburgh restaurant.

Tortilla, which currently operates out of the St James Quarter, will open their new premises at 26 Forrest Road on November 23 with the new restaurant creating up to 30 new jobs for locals. And to celebrate the launch in true fiesta style, Tortilla is giving away free burritos to Edinburgh residents at the new location on Wednesday, November 22 between 12pm and 1.30pm.

Burrito fans can take advantage of the offer by registering on the company website where a two-for-one offer on burritos and naked burritos (dine in only) is also available in the form of a digital voucher. The offer is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and while stocks last.
