Mexican food company Old El Paso has opened its first restaurant – inside the intu Uxbridge shopping centre.

The cantina opened on the High Street shopping centre's ground floor, next to Debenhams, on January 21, creating 10 jobs.

The company, which has sold its home meals in the UK since 1984, says more than 100 customers bought fajitas, burritos and nachos on the day.

Brand manager Rachael Clutton said: “With the Mexican food trend growing, our out of home business has many successful franchises in theme parks, universities and with our festival truck.

"Opening our first high street restaurant was the natural next step for us, as we continue to educate on Mexican inspired cuisine.”
