You Can Score FREE Burritos From Chipotle & Del Taco On April 1
Get ready to chow down on a mouth-watering burrito (and save a little money), because National Burrito Day is on Thursday, April 1. The national holiday makes it possible to score deep discounts on your favorite bites from go-to spots. With offers like $5 burritos, free burritos, and BOGO deals, you'll want to mark your calendar for these National Burrito Day 2021 deals before they're gone.
It's unclear how long National Burrito Day has been around, but the burrito has been around for quite a while. According to National Today, burritos began popping up in American restaurants in the 1930s. Before that, the oldest known mention of "burrito" was in 1895, and according to the Diccionario de Mexicanismos, it translates from English to Spanish as "little donkey." When it comes to what make a burrito, traditional burritos have very few ingredients. So, if you're used to the overstuffed, ingredient-heavy bites like Chipotle’s offerings, you're a fan of Mission Burritos, which were invented in San Francisco in the 1960s, according to Vox.
Now that you have a little history lesson under your belt, you can check out all the burrito offers you can handle on Thursday, April 1.
