It's National Burrito Day on Thursday, April 2, 2026, and hungry fans across the country are celebrating the handheld Mexican favorite with free burritos, buy-one-get-one offers and deep discounts at major chains and smaller spots alike.
The unofficial holiday, observed on the first Thursday in April, honors the beloved tortilla-wrapped meal stuffed with rice, beans, meats, cheeses and salsas. This year, restaurants from fast-casual giants to regional favorites are rolling out promotions that could save burrito lovers serious cash — or even land them free meals for a year.
