Whatever the origin of the burrito, the near-unanimous agreement is that the carne-packed burro is a San Diego regional creation.
As the day approaches, details remain unconfirmed regarding additional promotions or events that may arise. However, one thing is certain: on April 2, 2026, burrito lovers will have plenty of reasons to celebrate.
