Two of the country’s largest Mexican fast casuals are readying for National Burrito Day on April 2 with free food, BOGOs and other promotions.

Chipotle has brought back its Burrito Vault game in the U.S. and Canada, seen here, this year with a new Double Protein Power Hour game mode and over $2 million in prizes.

Beginning March 30 and running through April 2, the 2026 Burrito Vault: Double Protein Edition invites Chipotle Rewards members “to guess the hourly burrito order combination for a chance to unlock prizes.” Players get four attempts per hour, winning a maximum of one BOGO entrée, while also competing to win a grand prize of free burritos for a year. Each hour the vault code and prizes will reset.

Once a day the “Double Protein Power Hour” goes into effect, where the number of prizes is doubled.

“With more than 3.5 million plays last year, Burrito Vault generated record-breaking engagement with our fans,” said Stephanie Perdue, Chipotle interim CMO, in a release. “Bringing the game back for a third year allows us to build on that momentum while highlighting our clean protein as more consumers prioritize protein-packed meals that don't compromise on quality.”

The chain will also waive delivery fees on all orders on April 2 placed through the Chipotle app or online.

Qdoba is also commemorating National Burrito Day with a “Block the Burrito Hour” promotion. On April 2, Qdoba Rewards members will receive a free entrée with the purchase of an entrée and a drink, with the offer sent directly to their Rewards Wallet. Rewards Gold Status members will receive a few extra days, until April 5, to redeem the offer.

The brand has also released a Block the Burrito Hour toolkit, which includes calendar invites, out-of-office messages and email templates in order to let “coworkers know you're stepping out for a burrito break.”
