Tuck into award-winning burritos, tacos, nachos and more as the latest franchise of a Tex-Mex restaurant and takeaway launches in Norwich. 

Plan Burrito is now open at 21 Timber Hill in the city, which is in the former home of Re: Source general store, and the food can be fully customised with fillings and sauces.

The business was started by Steve Hopper, 36, in his hometown of Loughborough in 2015 after he tried a burrito for the first time on a trip to London and "thought it was brilliant".

Mr Hopper said: "Expect award-winning food at an affordable price and the American-style meats include 12-hour oak-smoked pork and pulled beef brisket.

"We are also home to the Southwest burrito, which comes with smoky chipotle sauce, and we don't charge for extras like guacamole and cheese."

Plan Burrito, which has won several street food and franchise awards, serves burritos in various sizes, burrito bowls, tacos, nachos and churros.
