“While most people use “authenticity” as a buzzword, we embody the word in our flavors, ingredients, and techniques. Led by award-winning chef Rick Bayless, we are guided by the tenets of “Mexican Care” – hospitality that is unexpectedly caring, genuine, and enthusiastic.”

“Lively and inviting, Tortazo lacks pretension or stiff formality. In all that we do, we celebrate the vibrancy of life through full flavors and experiences! It is this same energy and passion that we embody in our culture and ethos.”

“We created Tortazo to be a place where our guests and team members can find everyday moments of authentic discovery to add excitement and adventure to their everyday lives. We pride ourselves on being a positive and supportive workplace, where everyone is encouraged to learn and grow, and can in turn bring that hospitality to our guests.”
