It\u2019s been called \u2018the best Mexican on the market<\/a>’ \u2013 and now this Aussie-born favourite is planning to take over the UK. <\/p>\n

The popular fast food chain Zambrero, known for its customisable burritos and burrito bowls, is set to open 100 new UK restaurants by 2030. <\/p>\n

The Mexican-inspired chain first launched in London<\/a> in 2021 and has since expanded to 13 locations, including Manchester, Birmingham<\/a>, Essex<\/a> and Reading. <\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not stopping there. Zambrero has confirmed more UK sites are on the way next year, including its very first Scottish location.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019ve had a lot of interest in the brand during the last couple of years – and now is the right time for us to expand through our franchise partners and work towards opening 100 restaurants by 2030,\u2019 Emily Teh, CEO of Zambrero UK, said.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s on the Zambrero menu? Customers can build their own burritos and bowls, nachos and quesadillas from a range of fillings, including pulled pork, chicken, cauliflower and spicy black rice, with salsa, cheese, sour cream and guacamole to top it off. <\/p>\n

Prices start from around \u00a310 for a small burrito or burrito bowl, with larger sizes coming in closer to around \u00a313. It\u2019ll also cost you extra for chips and guac, and churros.<\/p>\n

Zambrero is probably best known for its burritos and burrito bowls, and some customers have called them the best around. <\/p>\n

One reviewer raved on TikTok about the Manchester location, calling it \u2018incredible\u2019 and claiming it had \u2018the best burrito in town\u2019.<\/p>\n

Founded in Canberra, Australia, in 2005, Zambrero has become the largest Mexican restaurant chain in both Australia and Ireland. With more than 300 global sites, it\u2019s now aiming to expand into the UK lunch scene.<\/p>\n

Social media is filled with praise, and TripAdvisor reviews are equally glowing. \u2018An absolute must go. I have 3 \/ 5 of my lunches there. Best Mexican on the market,\u2019 one customer wrote.<\/p>\n

Another called it \u2018the perfect work lunch spot\u2019, and if the expansion goes to plan, you might be seeing one open near your office sooner than you think.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the only popular fast food chain expanding in the UK. One burger joint from the Netherlands is also planning to open 100 new UK sites<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Fat Phill\u2019s, which is said to be home to Amsterdam\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> \u2018best burger\u2019, quietly launched in Clapham Junction in London at the end of 2024, serving up smash burgers, American-style sandwiches, loaded fries <\/a><\/strong>and mac and cheese.<\/p>\n

The chain, also known as Fat Phill\u2019s Diner, is still relatively new, having only been founded in 2019 by Armin Vahabian, but it\u2019s already got 18 locations across the Netherlands. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s been brought over here by Freshly Baked Ltd, the franchisor behind pretzel joint Auntie Anne\u2019s UK, and as part of this deal, there are plans to open several more sites on London high streets <\/a><\/strong>in the near future and develop up to 100 sites nationwide over the next 10 years.<\/p>\n

Multiple sites also look set to roll out across Ireland by 2030.<\/p>\n
