A popular Mexican fast-food chain has confirmed the opening date of its first-ever Northern Ireland store.
Tortilla, burrito and taco joint with over 80 locations across the UK, is opening its doors in Belfast on Friday, July 21.
Located at Arthur Square, near Victoria Square Shopping Centre, the new restaurant will create up to 30 new jobs for locals across front-of-house, kitchen, and management.

A spokesperson for the restaurant chain said: "Tortilla’s authentic and fully customisable menu breaks the rules of your typical takeaway, with feel-good food that is fast, filling, fresh and affordable.
"Toppings are prepared fresh each day using whole ingredients; the hand-smashed guacamole is a must-try, and burritos are rolled and served to order in as little as 90 seconds, from a counter where you pick what goes inside."
Hailing from the self-proclaimed burrito capital of the world San Francisco, Tortilla’s founders opened their first Californian-inspired Mexican restaurant in the UK in 2007.
Richard Morris, CEO at Tortilla, said: “We’re thrilled to finally be opening in the city of Belfast. We’ve got a fantastic location in the city centre and a passionate team who embody the values of our friendly local brand.
"Tortilla exists to make life better with burritos, and the response we’ve had from locals in the lead-up to opening has been overwhelmingly positive. Belfast, we’re excited to introduce you to our fresh Cali-Mex food and maybe a few too many margaritas, this summer!”
