National Burrito Day 2025: Where to get deals, freebies in Delaware
Some holidays are "Hallmark holidays" like Sweetest Day, a.k.a Valentine's Day lite, where you feel like it was just made to sell cards and little stuffed animals.
Then, there are the meaningful days like National Burrito Day. It's a holiday you can really sink your teeth into and it spices up your life.
It's the first Thursday in April. This year it falls on Thursday, April 3.
The burrito, which translates to "little donkey," likely arose from the co-mingling of foods in Mexico with that of Europeans, who arrived after the Spanish conquest in the 16th century, wrote Jeffrey Pilcher, a professor of food history at the University of Toronto, in his book "Planet Taco: A Global History of Mexican Food."
Burros, or donkeys, likely inspired the name "burrito" because street vendors sold burritos from baskets carried by burros. Donkeys often also bore a cylindrical bedroll similar in shape to the food we now know and love.
Here's where you can get deals and freebies in honor of National Burrito Day this Thursday, April 3.
On April 3, customers can get a Buy One, Get One Free burrito or bowl at participating Moe's Southwest Grill locations.
