National Burrito Day

National Burrito Day falls on April 3 in 2025, and several major chains are already rolling out free food, BOGO deals, and limited-time rewards. Burrito fans across the country are getting ready to cash in. Some promotions require reward memberships or codes, but many are easy to grab with a quick order in the app or online.

The offers span everything from burritos packed with fire-grilled chicken to fully loaded bowls. Some chains are even gamifying the day with apps and challenges. Whether you are planning a lunch break treat or a dinner-time pickup, it pays to know which brands are offering the biggest burrito perks.

Here is what we know so far about the best National Burrito Day deals confirmed for April 3. More may drop in the next 24 hours, but these are already locked in.

Why National Burrito Day Lands on April 3

National Burrito Day always falls on the first Thursday in April. In 2025, that means April 3. The date does not stay fixed each year, but the tradition always lands in early spring. Most food holidays tie themselves to the calendar for branding and marketing. National Burrito Day follows the same playbook.

A Food Holiday That Caught Fire Online

No federal group invented it. National Burrito Day grew through online attention and marketing efforts by restaurant chains. It began spreading widely through food blogs, app promotions, and meme culture. Big brands joined in around 2016. Once major chains started giving away burritos, the buzz stuck.

Why Thursdays?

Thursday sits close to the weekend. That helps restaurants drive traffic during a slower weekday. Thursday deals also turn into social media content by Friday, which boosts engagement. It is a strategic win for food brands and a fun win for burrito fans.

More Deals Could Still Drop Before Burrito Day Hits


Many chains wait until the last minute to drop surprise deals, bonus codes, or short flash promotions. New promos often show up on Instagram, X, TikTok, or brand emails on the night before or morning of April 3.

Keep an eye on the official apps, social media accounts, and food deal blogs. Some past offers have included:

  • Surprise bonus burritos with minimum orders
  • Exclusive code drops for influencers to share
  • Local store-specific promotions

Even brands that have not confirmed anything by April 2 might still post something on the day itself.

Stay tuned for updates and check back as more burrito deals go live. April 3 is shaping up to be packed with flavor, and you should not miss the chance to eat well without spending much.

It already looks like it will be much more exciting than the recent National Cheesesteak Day, which should not be a surprise considering the popularity of Burrito in the United States.

Miloš Nikolovski
I am Milos Nikolovski, a journalist with an insatiable curiosity for global affairs, cultural intersections, and the stories that define our time. My work spans continents, covering the pulse of international relations, the evolving dynamics between the United States and Brazil, the complexities of politics, and the deeper narratives found in travel, food, and everyday life. Every story I tell comes from direct experience, firsthand conversations, and an unfiltered approach to truth. I do not chase sensationalism or empty headlines. My focus remains on substance—on the issues that shape nations, the policies that drive decisions, and the cultural shifts that reveal where societies are headed. Whether dissecting diplomatic strategies, unraveling the economic forces linking Brazil and the United States, or walking through the markets of São Paulo to uncover the hidden layers of a city’s identity, I believe in journalism that informs and challenges perspectives. Travel plays a crucial role in my work, not as an escape but as a means to engage with the world. The places I visit are not vacation spots; they are living, breathing spaces filled with voices, struggles, and triumphs. Whether exploring the political landscapes of Latin America, tracing historical legacies in Europe, or uncovering the latest food revolution in an unexpected corner of the world, my mission remains the same—to document, to report, and to bring forward stories that matter. Beyond borders and breaking news, my work is guided by core values: honesty, independence, and accessibility. Journalism must be fearless, unfiltered, and unbound by external pressures. I write for those who seek more than surface-level narratives, for those who value depth over distraction, and for those who refuse to settle for anything less than the full picture.
