There has been a burrito revolution in the USA. It was in 1993 when big fresh burritos started showing up near college campuses, Chipotle was one of the first, near the DU campus in Denver. Cheap, fast, good, fresh food in large portions was exactly what poor starving college students were looking for. Back then, most fast food places were burger joints. Maybe Taco Bell offered a burrito back then, but it wasn't very filling, good, or fresh. My first experience with this new kind of restaurant was Big City Burrito, which started in FoCo in 1994. It was a very bohemian place, almost like a hippie food co-op from the '60s. There was a long line of students waiting to devour their football-sized tortilla-wrapped bundles of joy. It was fun. Since then, the concept has been corporatized, and American fast food will never be the same, thankfully.
