After making its Johnson County debut two years ago, a restaurant known for its burritos is continuing its expansion in the area.
Missouri-based Champion Burritos has landed a new Olathe location, which owner Ernesto Aguirre said will likely open by the end of August.
Champion Burritos is coming to 539 E. Santa Fe St.
- The restaurant is moving into a space just off Santa Fe and Copper streets in Olathe.
- There, it will operate near seafood-focused Mexican eatery Mariscos KC.
- Once the new Champion Burritos location opens, it will operate under the same hours as its other locations — 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aguirre said.
Champion Burritos boasts a “real taste of Mexico”
- The restaurant’s menu features a variety of burritos, from fajita chicken and carne asada to veggie and “smothered” shrimp burritos.
- Champion Burritos also serves breakfast burritos with fillings like chorizo, bacon and potatoes.
- In addition to burritos, the restaurant offers other Mexican dishes like street tacos, quesadillas and tortas (Mexican sandwiches).
