National Burrito Day, celebrated on the first Thursday of April, will take place on April 2, 2026. This year, several popular restaurants are offering enticing promotions to mark the occasion.
Chipotle is providing a $0 delivery fee on digital orders, while Pollo Loco is running a Buy One, Get One Free Burrito deal. Cazares Meat Market is also participating by offering a free burrito with any purchase.
Qdoba rewards members can enjoy a free entrée with the purchase of an entrée and a drink, and Del Taco is giving Del Yeah! Rewards members a free classic burrito with a $3 purchase. Additionally, Moe’s Southwest Grill is offering a buy one, get one free burrito, bowl, or Moe Value Meal.

The burrito, a staple of Mexican cuisine, was first introduced to the United States in the 1930s in Los Angeles. The California burrito, a regional creation of San Diego, has become particularly popular.
Daniel Kuperschmid stated, “National Burrito Day is our moment to remind the world where this iconic dish comes from.” The word “burrito” first appeared in the Dictionary of Mexicanismos in 1895, and its origins may relate to the packs and bedrolls used by donkeys to carry goods.
As National Burrito Day approaches, many consumers are eager to take advantage of these deals. Observers expect significant participation from various restaurants, with many looking to celebrate the burrito’s cultural significance.
Most of us like a good burrito. But on Thursday, April 2, you’re going to love the deals for National Burrito Day. Whatever the origin, the near-unanimous agreement is that the carne-packed burro is a San Diego regional creation.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding additional promotions that may emerge as the date approaches.
