After opening its first location in La Porte, Texas, in 2008, and quickly becoming a local favorite, Bullritos® was proud to open its tenth location, located in Houston, Texas, in the Clear Lake/Nassau Bay area at 1820 NASA Parkway.
In celebration of the grand opening on Monday, November 29, the first 50 qualified patrons in line at the new NASA Bullritos received an Unbelievabull Giveaway—free Bullritos for a year!
“We wanted to introduce Bullritos to the Clear Lake community in a big way,” said Shannon Walker, Bullritos franchisee. “And this giveaway was the perfect opportunity to mark our presence and begin our community relations with a bang! I was amazed to witness the crowd begin gathering on Sunday prior to the Monday morning opening; it was very encouraging for our team.”
Bullritos was founded by Russell Ybarra, who is also president and CEO of Gringo’s Mexican Kitchen. Motivated by his personal experience of running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, Ybarra extended his culinary palate into a Spanish-inspired, hip burrito joint complete with high quality ingredients, Bull-Ritas (frozen margaritas) and talented “burristas” (burrito rollers). Bullritos, bowls and tacos are custom-created with any combination of freshly grilled and prepared meats, two styles of rice, three options of beans (all vegetarian), chile con queso, freshly-cut veggies, mild to spicy salsas and more. To create a “Custom Bull,” patrons indicate their order by marking their desired style and ingredients on bull bags with red markers. Burristas create the bullrito, bowl or tacos, and put them in the bag for the guest to “run with it,” emphasizing the “bag ‘n’ go” concept.
Bullritos has also made a commitment to helping each surrounding community where a franchise is located. The “Charit-a-bull” Event program allows various community organizations to fundraise through the restaurant, earning 20 percent from all orders by using special coupons.
“We hope to impact more communities in a positive way with every new Bullritos location,” said Ybarra. “We want to be a cornerstone in the community. By partnering with schools and organizations, Bullritos can assist our patrons in their fundraising efforts, as well as being the local favorite burrito joint.”
Bullritos is open from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and is closed on Sundays so associates can rest and focus on their families.
