Barrio Burrito Bar
In 2005, Alex Shtein opened the first barBURRITO Fresh Mexican Grill in Toronto, Canada featuring delicious, healthy, fresh, made-to-order Mexican food in a fast casual restaurant format. Since its inception, barBURRITO has grown to over 398 locations from coast to coast and is the category leader and Canada?s largest and fastest growing burrito brand! Based on our overwhelming success in Canada, in 2020, we expanded into the USA and opened our first unit in Michigan under the name BURRITOBAR. In 2024, we rebranded BURRITOBAR to Barrio Burrito Bar to create a new brand name that is easy to remember and pronounce, helping customers recall and recognize the brand effortlessly. As part of this exercise, we elevated and redefined the brand's personality and tone to better resonate with our target audience, ensuring a fresh, engaging, and relatable presence. We also developed distinctive brand attributes to stand out from competitors, making our brand the preferred choice within the category. Our gorwth in the US has been driven with our Master Franchise model and the expansion has been remarkable as we have granted 25 Master territories representing 1,600 contractually commited franchise units throughout the Nation. As a hyper-grow emerging franchise concept, Barrio Burrito Bar is honoured to have be recognized as one of the top 25 fast casual brands to watch in 2026 by fastcasual.com and one of the 500 fastest growing franchises in 2026 by Entrepreneur! In addition, we have proudly ranked #70 in Entrepreneur Franchise 500 Fastest Growing in 2026. On the global stage, we have also awarded Master Franchise Agreements for the UAE and the state of Punjab in India. The Mexican food category has become mainstream in the North American diet and is a dynamic segment within Quick Service Restaurants. Our Niche within the segment is a smaller footprint; lower investment level; and a managable staff per shift versus other QRS concepts. Our business model minimizes the rent burden, lowers the capital expense and realizes a lower break even point. Compared to Chipotle, our menu offers more protein options; more topping choices; and more varieties of sauces. We have prime territories available as a Master Franchise and our Master Franchisees are granting single and multi-unit franchises within their respective regions.

FRANCHISEE TESTIMONIALS ?After visiting a Barrio Burrito Bar restaurant and had my first bite of the food, I immediately recognized the potential of the brand with its high quality and fresh menu and simplified operations. I was attracted to the unique opportunity of becoming a Master Franchisee and the concept of building the brand and as a result, in 2025 I became the Master Franchisee for Upstate New York and Pennsylvania. I've been in Franchise business for over 24 years and now I can use my experience to help future Franchisees succeed by offering great food, easy operations, low investment & high ROI. The support from the Franchisor is far better than what I have experienced in the other brand. The Franchisor leads by example and works side by side with Franchisees. I really feel the Franchisor and brand staff is there for me everyday, and every step of the way! Not a single phone call, email or text massage goes unanswered. If I need help on weekends I can get some help! And for me, that's very powerful support. I am 1001% confident in the future of the brand and I can't believe that everyone I talk to loves the concept. The franchisees I speak to find that the Barrio concept itself is amazing, from the food to operations to investment and that gives me a the most confidence when representing Barrio in my territories?. Manish R. Patel Master Franchisee Upstate New York and Pennsylvania ?What attracted me to Barrio Burrito Bar was the strength of the brand combined with a proven, scalable fast-casual model. Having spent many years in franchising, I look for concepts that deliver great food, efficient operations, and a franchisor that is truly committed to supporting its franchisees. Barrio stands out on all three. One of the biggest advantages of the system is the infrastructure behind it. The franchisor has built a full development and construction program that supports franchisees every step of the way?from site planning and store build-outs to supplier relationships, procurement, and technology systems. Having that level of structure and expertise in place makes a significant difference for franchisees as they grow. The leadership team is extremely knowledgeable and hands-on across all areas of the business. Their experience with suppliers, purchasing, restaurant systems, and operations creates a strong support network that allows franchisees to focus on running great restaurants and serving customers. Another area where Barrio truly differentiates itself is product innovation. The brand continually focuses on developing bold flavors and unique menu options that stand out in the fast-casual space. From the variety of proteins and toppings to the constant focus on flavor development, the franchisor ensures the menu remains exciting and competitive, giving customers more choice and better taste than many comparable concepts. As Master Franchisee for Florida, I?m very confident in the long-term growth potential of Barrio Burrito Bar. We already have multiple locations open with several more in development, and the response from both customers and franchisees has been extremely positive. Barrio is a brand built for scale, and I?m excited to continue expanding it across the state.? Zach Schaap Master Franchisee ? Florida "As a Master Franchisee and operator in Maryland and Virginia, I am proud to be part of the Barrio Burrito Bar family. From the beginning, the brand has demonstrated a strong commitment to quality, innovation, and franchisee support. What drew me most to Barrio Burrito Bar was the unique concept, fresh ingredients, and the ability to customize menu offerings to suit local markets. The systems and operational support provided by the company make it easier for franchisees to run efficient and profitable restaurants. Company has very extensive training support before, during and after opening the restaurants. The brand?s focus on community engagement, modern design, and bold flavors creates a dining experience that customers truly enjoy. As we continue to grow in Maryland and Virginia, I am excited about the future and the opportunity to bring the Barrio Burrito Bar experience to more communities. For anyone considering joining the brand, I believe Barrio Burrito Bar offers a strong franchise model with great potential for growth and long-term success."
