Thursday, April 6 is National Burrito Day. It was established after the battle of the Alamo in Texas in 1836 by Mexican soldiers celebrating their victory. That's not true. It was established to sell more burritos by some food lobby and is celebrated on the first Thursday in April. 

Burrito means "little donkey" in Spanish. That's true. Is it because the burrito contains so many things like a donkey can carry so many things? No clue.

What we do know is that after exhaustive research we have come up with the best places to celebrate National Burrito Day in New Jersey.
