About Canelo's Burritos
At Canelo’s Burritos, we believe food is more than something you eat—it’s an experience that brings people together.
Our mission is simple: deliver an authentic, caring experience through every burrito we serve. From the moment you walk up to our food truck, we want you to feel welcomed like family. Every burrito is made with quality ingredients, traditional recipes inspired by Northern Mexico, and the pride that comes from serving food we’d proudly share with our own loved ones.
What makes Canelo’s Burritos different is that we aren’t trying to be just another food truck. While many focus on serving food as quickly as possible, we focus on creating memorable experiences. We believe people remember how you made them feel just as much as they remember what they ate.
Our approach is different because we operate in our own lane. Instead of following what everyone else is doing, we’ve built our business around authentic Chihuahua-style burritos, genuine hospitality, and a commitment to excellence. We believe that by creating our own unique experience rather than competing on price or trends, we offer something customers can’t easily find anywhere else.
Whether we’re serving at a brewery, a university event, a corporate lunch, a festival, or a private celebration, our goal remains the same: to provide delicious food, outstanding service, and an experience people look forward to sharing with friends and family.
As we continue to grow, our commitment will never change. Every customer matters. Every event matters. Every burrito matters.
Thank you for supporting Canelo’s Burritos. We look forward to serving you and becoming part of your favorite memories, one burrito at a time.
The History of the Burrito
It is said that during the Mexican Revolution, a vendor named Juan Méndez rode a donkey through the streets of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, selling a peculiar preparation: large flour tortillas wrapped and filled with beans and various ingredients. People began to call them “burritos.”
While the exact origin is debated, a popular story traces the widespread popularity of the "burrito" – a flour tortilla wrapped around a filling – to a street vendor named Juan Méndez during the Mexican Revolution (circa 1910-1920) in Ciudad Juárez. To keep his food warm, he would wrap large tortillas around his guisados (stews) and other ingredients. He would transport these on his donkey (burro), giving the portable, satisfying lunch its famous name. This ingenious solution allowed workers and soldiers to carry a complete, warm meal, making it an ideal "lunch on the go."
