The Castro family opened El Patio Mexican Restaurant on Nov. 10, 1999. By 2008, the popular Water Street spot had expanded with a modern tequila bar and a quick burrito service that brought the Mexican classic back to its roots: Delivery.
The burrito first became popular in 1910 when Ciudad Juarez - also known as Chihuaha - would wrap his food in big, warm flour tortillas to keep it fresh as he went out for a day’s work. It quickly caught on and Chihuaha began delivering his now famous food by riding his donkey - or burro- from work site to work site on the Texas border.
Burrito Xpress carries on that tradition, offering hot and fresh delivery, a lot faster than Chihuaha's donkey made the trip.
