Burritos Are Bigger Than Food—They’re a Cultural Phenomenon

Burritos aren’t just a food—they’re a cornerstone of American dining culture. According to Datassential, Mexican food ranks as the third most popular cuisine in the U.S., reflecting its deep integration into everyday eating habits. The Pew Research Center also reports that nearly 10% of all U.S. restaurants serve Mexican food, underscoring its widespread availability and demand.

Burritos play a major role in this growth. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) found that 13% of U.S. adults eat Mexican food daily, with burritos accounting for a significant share of that consumption.

The dominance of burritos is also reflected in the performance of major restaurant chains. According to Datassential, Taco Bell ranked fourth in U.S. restaurant sales, generating nearly $14 billion in revenue, while Chipotle ranked eighth, with nearly $10 billion in sales.

But it’s not just about marketing. It’s not even really about burritos. Days like this are about having something to look forward to—a simple moment that repeats itself every year, wrapped up neatly, just like the food it celebrates.
