Rubio's debuts 2 new burritos

January 10, 2014

Rubio's is adding two new burritos this month to its menu. The offerings, the Ancho Citrus Shrimp Burrito and the newly revamped Burrito Especial, were created and developed by co-founder Ralph Rubio, and his culinary team, according to a company press release.

The new Ancho Citrus Shrimp Burrito features pan-seared sustainable shrimp, basted in ancho chiles, garlic, cilantro, a blend of canola and olive oil and a squeeze of lime. The new Burrito Especial comes layered with the choice of either chicken or steak, marinated in garlic, onion, pepper and a blend of spices. Both burritos include Rubio's citrus
rice, flavored with lime juice and lemongrass. Served in a warm flour tortilla, the burritos come with fresh guacamole, black beans, salsa fresca, crisp romaine lettuce and are drizzled with a creamy chipotle sauce and red tomatillo salsa.

"At Rubio's, we are passionate about creating menu items that offer guests with high-quality food that they feel good about," Rubio said. "The new Ancho Citrus Shrimp Burrito provides guests with a zesty take on one of Rubio's most popular sustainable seafood items, shrimp. The New Year also marks the modernization of a decade-old fan favorite, the Burrito Especial, a nod to our ongoing culinary progression."
