National Burrito Day 2021: Where To Wrap Your Hands Around the Best Deals
Share this article
Move over, April Fools, the first day of the fourth month is National Burrito Day — and that’s no joke for people who take their budgets as seriously as they do their burritos. In Spanish, “burrito” is the diminutive version of “burro” or “donkey,” which translates to “little donkey.” It might be a reference to the cylinder-shaped packs that donkeys hauled for the gold miners who brought the world’s greatest wrap from Northern Mexico to California. April 1 is National Burrito Day, and these national and regional chains are doing their best to fill your stomach on a budget.
