Welcome to Santa Barbara’s First-Ever Burrito Week
Enjoy These 17 Burritos for Just $7 Across Town from September 23 to 29
By Indy Staff | September 23, 2021
Whether you’re a NorCal kid who grew up on rice-stuffed logs developed in San Francisco’s Mission District, an L.A. dweller who chased down cheesy and refried-bean-soaked bites, or a SoCal settler who prefers the crunch of French fries in your San Diego spin, the burrito occupies one of the tallest thrones in the pantheon of California cuisine.
Santa Barbara sits squarely in the middle of this tortilla-wrapped landscape. We are home to countless restaurants serving traditional Mexican-style burritos — which offer reliable, belly-stuffing comfort, thanks to the usual inclusion of rice and beans — as well as establishments whose modernized versions amplify veggies over meat, completely ditch the customary carbs, or veer into other global cuisines with just a nod to the burrito’s basic architecture.
In celebration of this burrito bounty, the Santa Barbara Independent is launching our first-ever Burrito Week, which we plan to make an annual affair. For seven days, from September 23 – 29, 16 participating restaurants will be serving $7 burritos (17 of them, in fact, because one location is serving two).
