Three Generations of Flavor & Family

The flavor of tradition runs deep at Burrito Express, a story built on trust and hard work right in Arizona since 1995. Fueled by the vision of founder Angel Marin Sr. – to deliver authentic Mexican food with fast, friendly service – this family legacy has only grown stronger. Today, sons Angel Jr. and Mark Marin proudly carry that banner, ensuring every dish honors their roots. Now, with Angel’s grandson stepping into management, Burrito Express represents a rare multi-generational commitment to the people they serve, proving that some traditions of flavor, family, and community are simply worth fighting for.

Quality, Culture, & Care

Burrito Express radiates the energy of a true local hub – a place where the commitment to bold flavors and fast, friendly service is just the beginning. The goal has always been deeper than dining: it’s about creating real connections within the communities served, ensuring the restaurant is fundamentally part of the neighborhood. This dedication to quality, culture, and care is what elevates the entire experience. Every action is motivated by the desire to honor the local support received, ensuring that every customer feels like a trusted member of the family, rather than just a guest.

Deep, Mutually Rewarding Community Connections

The culture of giving back is the foundation of Burrito Express, proudly fueling the neighborhoods that support its growth. The dedicated Burrito Express Gives Back program is constantly active, offering support to local families, youth sports, and nonprofits through engaging charity drives and golf tournaments. This effort establishes a powerful sense of shared identity, with customers embracing the role of the “BE crew” and showing love during giveaways, challenges, and everyday visits. By staying active in the neighborhoods they call home, Burrito Express ensures the local connections are deep, active, and mutually rewarding.

About the Author:

Biography:

Howdy, I'm Megan deFabry. I grew up in Reno, Nevada, but since 2017 my heart has called Texas home. I now reside in Austin, Texas since 2020. I'm driven by my faith, cherished relationships with family and friends, and my professional ambitions. I'm passionate about digital marketing and journalism, especially the wide-open spaces of America's Western lifestyle, the grit of agriculture, the excitement of rodeo, and the heart of country music.

For nearly a decade, I've been sharing this way of life through storytelling. And like any good cowboy tale, there's a loyal sidekick, my little Dachshund, Frank, who I adopted from a shelter in New Braunfels, Texas, back in 2018. He keeps me grounded, reminding me to chase horizons and savor life's simple joys.

I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor of Science in Consumer Affairs and a minor in Mass Communication. My major taught me to decode consumer behavior, which is crucial for marketing, while my minor sharpened my storytelling skills. Since then, I've spent years mastering SEO and content strategy, staying ahead in a fast-moving field. My work even caught the eye of Cowboy Lifestyle Network's CTO, Irish Padmore, who recognized me for contributing to his research on Consumer Behavior in the Age of AI.

Since 2018, I've been honored to work at Cowboy Lifestyle Network. Now as Editor-in-Chief writing, editing, and publishing articles that capture the cowboy spirit, crafting strategies rooted in Western values, and building real client connections. Guided by ethical journalism, I aim to tell stories that resonate and reflect the unsung heroes of the Western spirit.
