A Taste of Spain

Specialties: We serve tapas. But what are tapas? Well, according to Google, tapas are 'small Spanish savory dishes, typically served with drinks at a bar'. In other words, a tapa, is the Spanish term for an appetizer or a snack, Here in the US, you might have heard of the term 'Hors d'oeuvre'; they are essentially the same thing. What Spaniards love most about tapas is its social aspect: You never eat tapas on your own, they are meant to be shared, over long conversations, slow wine sipping, and probably some bar-hopping in between bites and wine glasses. The mother of all tapas, the one you will find in every Spanish restaurant, is the Spanish Omelette (Tortilla Española), also known as 'tortilla de patatas' (potato omelette). This is where the root of our name (Torti-) comes from. We wanted to name our business out of this principal dish in the Spanish cuisine, and at the same time, reflect in our name the positiveness and happiness that it generates when it is served and tasted among friends. Hence, the slight change in the termination of the word from '-lla' to '-yeah' ... TortiYeah! Same sound, but more flavor!! Established in 2017. We want to bring some authentic tapas culture to Philadelphia. We are a 100% Spanish company, funded and run by Spaniards with a devotion for the Spanish tapas culture, and we want to share this with Philadelphia. Our approach is not to concentrate in the business by establishing a fancy and expensive restaurant. We want to concentrate in the food and make our tapas as accessible as possible, so that is why you will find us in a small establishment at the Reading Terminal, from where we plan to serve BIG! Come and try us, we promise you will not regret it
