About Burros & fries

"BurrosI

I was raised learning about the restaurant business since I was 10 years old! My father opened his first Taco Shop in 1974 in San Diego! He taught me all that I know. I came up with my new idea in opening my own brand: Burros & Fries fresh Mexican grill! I opened my first restaurant in 2009 in Tijuana, Mexico.   Now we have crossed the border opening new locations across San Diego. It has been a great experience growing my business thanks to all my wonderful customers! Hope you enjoy all that my father has taught me.
