Tortilla, Reading | Sprint Group

Planning, designing and installing commercial kitchens is at the heart of our business. We recently completed a project with Tortilla Mexican Grill in Reading.

Tortilla are a little different. Inspired by owners Brandon and Jen, the restaurant chain is straight out of Mexico. They say:

“We started tortilla in 2007 after a four-year search across London for decent burritos and tacos. We’re from California and grew up going to the Taquerias in the mission district of San Francisco, the self–proclaimed burrito capital of the world. Burritos were for grab-and-go lunches, dinner with friends, and 2am’ers accompanied by a Corona. We just couldn’t find the same type of places in London, so we decided to build it ourselves!”

With locations all across London and beyond – Birmingham to Liverpool to Southampton – Tortilla is the UK and Europe’s largest fast-casual Mexican restaurant. The Group has opened four new restaurants across the UK this summer and Sprint Group were thrilled to support their growth with the Tortilla, Reading restaurant.

Sprint Project Director, Tony Dickinson, says:

“Sprint Group are proud to work with Tortilla across their UK estate of 35 outlets. Last week we handed over their latest store in Reading – due to open on 1^st November. This project was turned around in 6 weeks, delivered on-time, on budget and with no issues.”

Whether its Tony Dickinson who applies his years of experience for new builds and refurbishments providing pragmatic expertise with regards to kitchen design and layouts whilst always delivering on time and most importantly within budget or Luke Ryan who is always available to handle our day to day requirements as a business to ensure our restaurants / kitchens are able to remain open for trade with the full support of the Sprint team.
