Tortilla Burritos Worth Walking For Healthy Food

I'll Walk For Your Flour Tortilla

I live close to Regents park in North London and there are two tortilla shops I go to both are about the same 30 minute walk away, I don't have a car. On a nice day I walk on a rainy day I might take a Lime bike which I pick up in Regents park or St Johns Wood High Street.

One is on Market St closes at 9pm in the west end which sounds like a long walk but actually is the nicest through Regents Park or there's one on Euston Road which closes at 8pm. If I am going to Waitrose on the Finchley Road, I always make a point of stopping next door for my burrito although this one is definitely too far for me to walk.

The food at Tortilla is fresh and delicious. And the service is usually good. Not super friendly but hey they are always very very busy. It's not unusual for the one on Market St to have a long queue, especially between 12 and 2 when the lunchtime rush hits. Not many places you can get this much food, very filling for under £10. They will charge you extra for any additional side, even a squeeze of lime which is a bit cheesy. I guess it stops people taking advantage. Oh and NO cash which again I don't really agree with as it means the homeless person I just gave money to cannot eat here which is not super inclusive.

Maybe they don't want light fingered staff in the till????? I like cash, I just have to remember to take a card. They do have a loyalty program I have never joined and they do delivery through Uber Eats and Deliveroo however the beauty of Tortilla is getting exactly the burrito you love, custom so delivery doesn't work really. A Tortilla burrito has to be eaten fresh to be best enjoyed but don't think if you don't finish in one sitting it's going to waste, oh no, I enjoy a cold half left over for breakfast with some extra salsa.

If you arrive and the queue extends out the door which isn't uncommon, it moves fast, takes about 20 minutes and is worth the wait. The customers are friendly and I've met a few different people here, all sharing a LOVE of pretty authentic Mexican street food, the last one told me about another sit down place he and his veggie girlfriend love Wachana, never been myself but he said the sides especially the cauliflower are really good.

Of all the fast food take out brands Tortilla is defo my favourite.
