National BURRITO Day? 03/25/2024

National Burrito Day?
Yes, its a thing.
Thursday April 4

Here's the myth: Juan Méndez, a street vendor in Chihuahua, Mexico, invented the burrito. During the Mexican Revolution in the 1910s, Méndez decided to wrap his food in flour tortillas to keep it warm and transport to miners on his small donkey (b***o?). He then realized that wrapping the food in a tortilla was tasty and a good way to serve it.

Enjoy a delicious selection of burrito fillings and styles at DORADO: San Diego style with fries;
Mission style with rice and beans
