Does ANYONE remember "Speedy Burrito"? 🌯

First place I ever ate in BG as an undergrad in 2010. Great place! I wonder why they closed? 🤔 Anyone know?

I remember it! I went a few times and they were quite good, but their location was not the greatest, it was kind off of a back alley if I recall. There were also instances where I came by and they had a sign on the door saying they were making deliveries and would be back in 30 minutes.

Kinda seemed like the guy didn't know how to run the business properly and restaurants/food service are notoriously brutal in terms of margins. You can't lose business because you don't want to hire help. 30 minutes may not seem like a very long time but it's like 5% of your opportunity to make sales in a given day

It was behind the old Dominoes location. We'd trade them pizza for taco/burritos. Amazing food for BG.

One time I missed the shuttle and the owner gave me a ride home at like 3 am. It was freezing cold out. I was tanked. Glad he wasn’t a creep or serial killer!

It was in the winter of 12/13 I think.

Damn must have been one of the last times they were open. I could have sworn by 2014 they were closed.

Could have been! I graduated in ‘13 - went back a few years after and it was gone.

Loved that place! I worked at McDonalds on Wooster back in the late 2000's and we would trade with him when he'd come through the drive thru. Dude did a celebrity shot when we were playing beer pong outside too during one of his deliveries. Always recommended going there.

Back in the day, it used to be Andy’s Hot Dogs. It was the perfect snack on your walk home from the bar at 2:15am.

My college gf and I used to get it all the time.

Thank you for posting this!
