Tortilla

In the bustling Yas Mall on Yas Island, Tortilla brings an authentic taste of California to Abu Dhabi. Known for its fresh, made-to-order burritos, tacos, and bowls, this eatery has earned a stellar reputation among locals and tourists alike. The aroma of lime-cilantro rice, sizzling pollo asado, and freshly chopped jalapeños greets you the moment you step up to the counter — no sombreros, no sequined waistcoats, just real flavors inspired by the taquerias of Mexico and the Mission District of San Francisco.

Founded on a simple belief that great Mexican food should be accessible and uncompromisingly fresh, Tortilla has quickly become a go-to spot for casual dining in the emirate. With over 500 reviews singing its praises, the restaurant maintains a near-perfect rating by focusing on quality ingredients and generous portions. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch between shopping, sitting down with family, or ordering online for delivery, the team at Tortilla Yas Mall ensures every meal hits the mark.
