National Burrito Day Deals—BOGO, Burrito Insurance, And Much More
Sure, National Burrito Day is a nod to one of the most iconic foods—a perfectly wrapped combination of flavors, textures, and heat. But let's be honest: it's not just about celebrating burritos. It's about having an excuse to eat them.
Fast-casual chains and taquerias alike have transformed the first Thursday in April into a can't-miss food holiday, dropping deals, launching one-day-only menu items, and turning burritos into something bigger than a meal. From BOGO deals to unexpected collaborations, here's where to find the best burrito steals—and the most over-the-top drops—this year.
Note: This piece will be updated as more deals are announced
From national chains to local spots, these are the biggest burrito discounts of the year.
These deals are just as good—sometimes even better—but may only be available in specific parts of the U.S. We've noted regions where possible.
A Note on Terms & Conditions: Each of these deals comes with its own set of terms and conditions, including availability, time restrictions, and location participation. Be sure to check with your local restaurant or retailer to confirm details before heading out!
Burritos aren't just a food—they're a cornerstone of American dining culture. According to Datassential, Mexican food ranks as the third most popular cuisine in the U.S., reflecting its deep integration into everyday eating habits. The Pew Research Center also reports that nearly 10% of all U.S. restaurants serve Mexican food, underscoring its widespread availability and demand.
Burritos play a major role in this growth. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) found that 13% of U.S. adults eat Mexican food daily, with burritos accounting for a significant share of that consumption.
The dominance of burritos is also reflected in the performance of major restaurant chains. According to Datassential, Taco Bell ranked fourth in U.S. restaurant sales, generating nearly $14 billion in revenue, while Chipotle ranked eighth, with nearly $10 billion in sales.
But it's not just about marketing. It's not even really about burritos. Days like this are about having something to look forward to—a simple moment that repeats itself every year, wrapped up neatly, just like the food it celebrates.

New Starbucks beverage goes after wellness market
"Remember to order a Starbucks drink after your workout," said no one ever. Starbucks has not always prioritized making its handcrafted beverages healthy. Some menu items have masked the taste of coffee to appeal to a larger audience, loading up on whipped cream and decadent syrups containing an entire day's worth of sugar. Health-conscious customers did, of course, have better-for-you options such as a caffe latte with skim milk, nitro cold brew, or espresso macchiato. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter But now consumer trends are truly evolving, with older and younger generations alike prioritizing low caloric content and clean ingredients like never before. And Starbucks' latest move shows it's taking notice. Image source: Getty Images During the Starbucks Leadership Experience event in Las Vegas, the company revealed that it is testing a new Banana Protein Cold Foam. This potential new menu addition tweaks the original cold foam by adding banana flavor and protein powder, which contains around 15 grams of protein per serving. This is not the first time Starbucks (SBUX) has introduced protein to its menu. In 2018, it launched the Protein Blended Cold Brew in Almond and Cocoa flavors, which blended cold brew, almond milk, plant-based protein, almond butter, banana date fruit blend, and ice to create the beverage. Related: Starbucks faces huge new rival The protein-packed drinks were only available for a limited time and were eventually discontinued months later, never to be seen again. At the Las vegas event, the coffee giant also introduced the Starting 5, a new program in which five stores will be chosen to test potential new menu items before rolling them out across all locations nationwide. This program is part of the "Back to Starbucks" strategy, in which the company aims to revamp its menu by "reimagining and modernizing its beverages and food to build a relevant, hype-worthy global menu that will resonate with customers," as stated in a press release.

The coffee chain has also been working overtime to test new food menu items currently under development. These include a new Butter Croissant, Raspberry Croissant, and Double Chocolate Cookie. Starbucks has not announced an official day for when the tested menu items will hit stores nationwide, but it has been making changes quickly, so if successful, these innovations could launch very soon. The chain's "Back to Starbucks" turnaround strategy aims to improve customers' overall experience by redesigning stores, optimizing efficiency, prioritizing coffee quality, simplifying its menu, and empowering its baristas. The coffee giant recently began simplifying its menu by reducing customization options and eliminating extra charges for milk alternatives.

Although many might have thought the company's shrinking menu meant no more seasonal or permanent launches, this drastic move seems to have made room for more innovation.

IonQ, Inc. (IONQ): NVIDIA CEO Is Giving A Green Light, Says Jim Cramer
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where IonQ, Inc. (NYSE:IONQ) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. IonQ, Inc. (NYSE:IONQ) is one of the few pure-play American quantum computing hardware companies. The firm was a regular feature of Cramer's appearances earlier this year in January. Back then, the quantum computing sector was basking in the glory of Google's announcement that its quantum computer had significantly outperformed a supercomputer. Investors started piling into quantum computing stocks, but Cramer remained a skeptic. Back then, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang knocked the wind out of the quantum computing bubble after he remarked that the technology wasn't mature. Yet, in a turn of events in late May, IonQ, Inc. (NYSE:IONQ)'s shares surged by 22% after its CEO commented in an interview that his firm could be the 'NVIDIA' of quantum computing. Cramer's comments revolved around NVIDIA's CEO changing tack on quantum computing: 'There are four quantum stocks that we have to follow. Some of my people that I work with were very, I think that they were, probably concerned that I went out and said, look we ought to be looking at . . .we ought to be looking at, you know the ones that people talk about. But they're gonna fly!' A quantum computer on a countertop in an engineering laboratory with a technician at work. Recently, Cramer commented on IonQ, Inc. (NYSE:IONQ)'s valuation: 'Oh my god, it's so high and it's losing so much money, but it's quantum. If I offer you a considered explanation of why I think that stock's too expensive, most people ignore it, so all I'm going to say is it's too speculative for me. I don't know what else to say.' While we acknowledge the potential of IONQ as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Is it possible to boost the US birth rate? Here's what other countries have tried
(NEXSTAR) – The Trump administration is reportedly seeking ways to raise the American birth rate, considering incentives ranging from a $5,000 cash 'baby bonus' to a 'National Medal of Motherhood' awarded to women with more than six children. Would a trophy or tax break be enough to convince Americans to have more children? Countries around the world with plummeting birth rates have test driven all sorts of strategies to promote procreating, and it turns out it's a tough task. People and policymakers may want to boost the birth rate for a variety of reasons, from cultural to economic. The primary economic concern is that if a country's birth rate drops too low, and there isn't enough immigration to bring in younger workers, the country will be left with an aging population that needs support but a smaller tax base of workers to support them. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports the U.S. birth rate dropped to 1.6 children per woman in 2023 – a new historic low. To be at replacement levels, the birth rate would have to be a bit higher at 2.1. That's generally accepted as the level at which each generation ensures it replaces itself. While the U.S. birth rate is lower than it has ever been before, it's still higher than our North American neighbors to the north and dozens of other countries around the world. Canada's fertility rate is at 1.3, according to World Bank Data. Any countries around Europe and Asia have rates that are even lower, including Italy (1.2), Spain (1.1), Japan (1.2) and Korea (0.7). Australia and New Zealand also have fertility rates lower than the United States'. The U.S. is far from the first country to show concern over a shrinking population. Singapore, which has one of the lowest birth rates in the world, has tried doling out sizable cash incentives. Couples get the equivalent of about $8,500 for their first and second children, CNBC reports, and $10,000 for their third child and beyond. Those bonuses don't go very far, however, with Singapore's ultra-high cost of living. The cost of raising a child isn't cheap here either. LendingTree recently estimated it costs about $29,000 a year. 'The one-time bonuses are definitely not very effective, and that's pretty widely shown,' Karen Benjamin Guzzo, director of UNC's Carolina Population Center, told PBS. For what it's worth, Singapore has also tried some less conventional routes. They once got desperate enough to make a PSA (complete with a song) encouraging couples to do their 'civic duty' by getting busy in the bedroom and 'letting their patriotism explode.' In Japan, where the fertility rate is dropping faster than projected, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has described the situation as 'a silent emergency.' The government has promised to promote more flexible working environments and other measures that would help married couples to balance work and parenting, especially in rural areas where family values tend to be more conservative and harder on women. The younger generation isn't just reluctant to have kids, but also to get married due to bleak job prospects, a high cost of living and a gender-biased corporate culture that adds extra burdens for women and working mothers, experts say. While cash incentives and catchy songs haven't proven very effective at convincing people around the world to have children, one thing experts believe might work is cheap or free childcare. In a report last year, the U.S. Department of Labor described childcare as 'an almost prohibitive expense.' Even in affordable states, child care costs thousands of dollars a year. In pricier coastal communities, the median cost of infant care tops $30,000 a year. Though it's hard to predict if it would be a silver bullet, easing the child care cost burden – or completely eliminating it – is 'probably the thing that is most likely to have the impact on birth rates,' Guzzo said. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
