Quick info
About Tortilla Manchester Piccadilly
Tortilla Manchester Piccadilly is a restaurant in Manchester, set inside Piccadilly Station just to the right of the main entrance. Guests build their own burritos and bowls at the counter, where the team prepares each order in front of them, and the hand-smashed guacamole is made there too. Fillings include beef, chicken, fish, black beans and avocado, with lettuce, pickles, onions and salads to finish. Several tomato sauces range from mild to spicy, so the heat level is the guest's choice. A veggie breakfast bun is also on the menu. The restaurant has no dedicated seating and relies on the station's public seating areas.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers come for the made-to-order bowl, built at the counter from fresh ingredients such as black beans, avocado, pickles, onions, lettuce and a mild tomato salsa, with staff preparing it in front of the customer. The hand-smashed guacamole earns its own praise, and portions are described as generous and good value. Close behind is the service, which reviewers call friendly, efficient and quick, with several singling out servers who greeted them with a smile. One commuter notes the shop sits right opposite their platform. Also mentioned are a veggie breakfast bun that was tasty and not too heavy, and a protein pot called great value. Opinions on the food are not uniform: one reviewer found it less tasty than at other Tortilla branches, while another calls this one much better than the Arndale branch. Reviewers note it is takeaway only, inside the station just right of the main entrance, with only public station seating nearby. One traveller recalls airport security opening a backpack and joking about the burrito inside.

“I was in a hurry to get my train and found this right opposite of my platform. The service was really quick. I had a veggie breakfast bun. It was tasty, not too heavy and not too light of the stomach. I would definitely have my next grab to train form here.”

“While waiting for my train to the airport, I decided to look for a quick lunch and found this place on Google Maps. A useful tip for first-time visitors: although it may appear as a separate location on the map, it's actually located inside Manchester Piccadilly Station, just to the right of the main entrance. I initially left the station looking for it before realizing my mistake! This is a takeaway-only spot, and there was already a queue when I arrived, which is usually a good sign. Since it was my first visit, I spent a minute watching how the ordering process worked. The concept is simple: you choose from a wide selection of fresh ingredients, including beef, chicken, fish, black beans, avocado, lettuce, pickles, onions, salads, and several tomato sauces ranging from mild to spicy. The staff prepare everything in front of you and customise it exactly to your preferences. The customer ahead of me ordered a bowl that looked particularly good, so I followed their lead. My bowl included black beans, avocado, pickles, onions, lettuce, and a mild tomato salsa. Everything tasted fresh, the portion size was generous, and the price felt very reasonable for a station location. One amusing thing happened later at the airport. Security decided to inspect my backpack because of my lunch. After opening it, the officer smiled and said, "That's quite a burrito you've got there!" We both laughed, and I was on my way. It certainly made the meal even more memorable. There is no dedicated seating area, but plenty of public seating is available throughout the station. If you're travelling through Manchester Piccadilly and want a fresh, filling, and reasonably priced meal before your journey, this is well worth a visit. Friendly staff, quality ingredients, and excellent value for money.”

“Stopped by Tortilla at Piccadilly Station for a quick bite today. The service was efficient and friendly, and it was great seeing how fresh all the ingredients looked behind the counter. My bowl was packed with flavour and the hand-smashed guacamole was absolutely delicious. It’s the perfect spot for a reliable, tasty lunch when you are on the go. Highly recommended if you are passing through the station.”

“I was waiting for my train to the airport and wanted to grab a quick lunch, so I searched Google Maps for a nearby place to eat. At first, I left Piccadilly Station looking for this restaurant, only to realize it's actually **inside the station**, just to the right of the main entrance. It's a takeaway place, and there was already a queue when I arrived. Since it was my first visit, I stood to one side for a moment to see how everything worked. There are plenty of fresh ingredients to choose from, including beef, chicken, fish, black beans, avocado, lettuce, pickles, onions, salads, and several tomato sauces with different spice levels. The staff prepare your meal in front of you and ask exactly what you'd like to add. The customer in front of me ordered a bowl that looked delicious, so I decided to order the same! I had black beans, avocado, pickles, onions, lettuce, and a mild tomato sauce, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. The portions were generous, and the price was very reasonable. A funny side story—when I arrived at the airport, security searched my backpack because of my lunch! The officer smiled and joked, "What a burrito you have there!" before sending me on my way. It definitely made my day. This is a takeaway shop, so there isn't any seating apart from the station's public seating areas. If you're passing through Piccadilly Station and want a fresh, tasty, and affordable meal before your journey, I'd definitely recommend stopping here. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole experience was great.”
