National Burrito Day: Here's what Chipotle Mexican Grill is offering to its members on this auspicious occasion

Chipotle is doubling down on its viral Burrito Vault game, offering fans another shot at winning over $1 million in free burritos ahead of National Burrito Day on April 3. Starting March 31 at 9 a.m. ET, Chipotle Rewards members in the U.S. and Canada can visit UnlockBurritoDay.com to guess a secret burrito ingredient combination and unlock hourly prizes. The first 2,500 players to crack the code each hour snag a BOGO (buy-one-get-one) entrée coupon, while the fastest solver every hour wins free burritos for a year—a new twist for 2024.

Chris Brandt, Chipotle’s Chief Brand Officer, highlighted the game’s success in 2023, calling it a record-breaking driver of digital engagement. Last year, the Burrito Vault saw over two million plays, with prizes claimed in under 20 minutes. This time, the winning code changes hourly to keep the frenzy alive.

National Burrito Day, celebrated annually on April 3, is an unofficial holiday dedicated to honoring the beloved handheld meal—a cultural staple blending Mexican flavors with American fast-casual convenience. Chipotle has leaned into the day for years, using it to launch promotions, limited-time menu items, and community initiatives. This year, the chain is upping the ante: On April 3, Chipotle Rewards members get $0 delivery fees on orders placed via the app or website using the code DELIVER.


Chipotle’s Burrito Vault isn’t just a game—it’s a marketing masterstroke. By blending the thrill of puzzles with the allure of free food, the chain taps into the same cultural obsession that fuels Wordle and viral TikTok challenges. Last year’s record-breaking digital sales prove that hungry fans will flock to apps and websites for a shot at freebies. With National Burrito Day now a staple in foodie calendars, Chipotle’s latest gambit could turn April into a month-long fiesta of guac, carnitas, and high-stakes ingredient guessing. Just don’t forget the napkins—things are about to get messy

For players who miss out on BOGO codes during the Burrito Vault game, Chipotle is tossing a consolation prize: 25 rewards points per unlock attempt (while supplies last). These points add up toward free meals in the future, ensuring no one walks away empty-handed.
