Taking to social media to share the good news, Tortilla confirmed they would be open to the public next month at Arthur Square facing Cornmarket.
They said: "Belfast it's happening!
"Real California burritos & tacos are dropping in NI very soon (we might even be talking NEXT month)
"We can’t wait. Tell your bestie, girlfriend, boyfriend, mum, dad, cousin, grandma & great great uncle - the more the merrier".
Tortilla was founded when owners Brandon and Jennifer, who grew up eating tacos and burritos in San Francisco, moved to London and couldn't find taquerias to match home
The website reads: "We loved this place but there were two things missing: Californian sunshine and Mexican food. So, we decided to do what we could about one of them!
"We named it Tortilla; inspired by the fragrant corn & flour tortillas we used to buy from our local Mexicatessan, which were so different from the bread-y sandwiches here in the UK.
"We wanted to break the rules of your typical takeaway with food that was fast, filling, fresh and didn't cost a bomb. To this day we make every meal from scratch to your tastes - there are literally thousands of flavour combinations to try."
