Tortazo: The Story Behind the Sizzle

 

Tortazo was born at the intersection of hustle, heat, and Havana street spirit.

​

Founded on the spirit of Cuban-Canadians raised on pressed tortas and old-school sabor, this brand grew up in the back streets of Latin culture. Between rows of pan Cubano and the clatter of hot grills, we discovered the secret to real flavor: bold, unapologetic joy in every bite.

​

But while the world was rushing toward fast food and ghost kitchens, Cuban street eats were left behind, still vibrant, still powerful, but not yet reimagined for the modern QSR scene.

​

That’s where Tortazo comes alive.

​

Tortazo is a fast-paced, flavor-loaded brand centered around the torta: crisp, toasted, hand-held, and stacked high with indulgent fillings. Think smoky pulled pork with mojo sauce. Sweet-heat plantains. Tangy pickled onions. Melty queso. All delivered with speed, grit, and flair.

​

Inspired by the energy of Cuban street culture and designed for kitchens that move, Tortazo makes it easy for restaurants to launch a whole new category, without the overhead or the complexity.

​

Now, Tortazo isn’t just a sandwich. It’s a movement. A punch of flavour.A celebration of the grind.
