The Best Deals & Freebies For National Burrito Day

With April comes spring, warmer weather, and… burritos. Yes, you read that right. The first Thursday in April each year is National Burrito Day, a whole 24 hours devoted to the delicious Mexican wrap.

This year, National Burrito Day is April 3, turning what would normally be an average Thursday into the burrito Super Bowl. Burritos are easy to eat, customizable, and available practically around every corner. No wonder so many people are obsessed, and it only makes sense to have an entire day dedicated to such a delicious food. 

Burrito lovers can get special freebies and promos from tons of restaurants to celebrate this unique holiday. From future discounts to BOGO deals, restaurants are making sure that customers don’t miss out on this once a year opportunity. So mark your calendars and decide which National Burrito Day deals you have to snag. You might just need to use more than one.
