The world of Rick Bayless continues to grow. The prolific chef -- best known for Frontera Grill and Topolabampo in Chicago -- is partnering with Caesars Entertainment to bring Tortazo restaurant to two of the company’s destinations, Harrah’s Joliet and Caesars Palace Las Vegas. Bayless launched Tortazo in 2020 and currently has two locations in New York and one in Chicago's Willis Tower (aka Sears Tower).
Tortazo is a fast-casual Mexican restaurant that highlights tortas. The menu also includes familiar Mexican dishes such as tacos, quesadillas and churros.
“We’re so pleased to partner with Chef Rick to bring Tortazo to Joliet and Las Vegas,” said Anthony Carano, president and COO of Caesars Entertainment. “Chef Rick is a powerhouse - bringing a new, eclectic offering to our brand - and is the perfect addition to our roster of culinary superstars that our guests can experience and enjoy across the Empire.”
“I’m thrilled to partner with Caesars to open Tortazo at two of their incredible destinations, and I’m especially excited to open another so close to home,” Bayless said in the release. “The Caesars brand is synonymous with great hospitality, something that inspired the creation of Tortazo, so it feels like the perfect fit.”
The Harrah’s Joliet location is set to open in the spring and the Las Vegas location will follow in late summer.
