Tortilla serves up stronger sales after takeaway boost

Mexican food chain Tortilla has hailed the impact of takeaway platforms on its progress.

The firm says partnerships with operators including Deliveroo have helped accelerate sales.

The national company – whose estate stretches from Glasgow to Exeter – added the move has helped “turn the page” on accounting issues that led to the suspension of its shares last month.

Tortilla Mexican Grill, which sells made-to-order burritos and tacos, said sales were nearly 14 per cent higher in the six months to the end of June, compared like-for-like with the same period a year ago.

It added that since listing on Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat in late March, sales jumped by nearly a fifth, while delivery sales were up by more than 50 per cent.

The firm – whose retail network also includes outlets in London, Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle and Manchester – also published its annual results for 2025, which were delayed as a result of accounting issues that meant auditors had to reassess the group’s accounts.

Tortilla said it previously overstated its profits for the last year relating to its French business.

The newly-published accounts showed adjusted earnings of £1.1 million for 2025, with the UK profitable while France operated at a loss.
