As Downtown Nanaimo's BarBurrito located at Port Place celebrates four delicious years in the community, they’re marking the milestone in the best way possible: with fresh food, local support and a special one-day fundraiser for a good cause.
On June 30, for every burrito or taco bowl sold, $2 will be donated to the Queen Alexandra Children’s Hospital – a small gesture with the potential to make a big impact. It’s the perfect excuse to grab your go-to meal and help support Island families in need.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time visitor, BarBurrito’s menu is packed with flavourful options crafted from fresh, in-house ingredients and inspired by old-world recipes with a modern twist. Their burritos and bowls remain bestsellers for a reason – offering generous portions, fully customizable toppings and bold sauces like bang bang, chipotle bbq and their signature hot sauce.
Looking to feed a crew? The take-home taco kits are a crowd-pleaser. Each kit includes 15 soft taco shells, one protein of your choice (including options like jerk chicken, pulled pork, veggie ground or spicy chicken), plus cheese, salsa, lettuce, two veggie toppings and two signature sauces. It also comes with a side of fresh tortilla chips for dipping, scooping or snacking in between bites.
Gluten-conscious diners can enjoy options like the certified gluten-free tortilla wrap or the gluten-friendly quesadilla, which comes loaded with cheese, salsa, and all the fresh toppings you crave – from corn and cilantro to pickled jalapeños. While precautions are taken to reduce cross-contamination, it’s important to note that BarBurrito locations are not certified gluten-free facilities.
“We’ve built something special here, and it’s all thanks to the support of our customers,” says Sam the local manager of BarBuritto. “This fundraiser is our way of giving back – to say thank you, and to make a difference in the lives of families who need it most.”
Whether you're dropping in for a quick bite or grabbing a taco kit for a summer get-together, BarBurrito is ready to serve up the fresh, bold flavours that have made it a community staple.
So swing by on June 30 at 648 Terminal Ave, to enjoy your favourite burrito or bowl, and be part of something bigger. Because at BarBurrito, it’s about bringing people together and giving back, one bite at a time.
