PHOENIX — Who doesn’t like a good burrito? If you’re one of those burrito-lovin’ folk and you happen to live in Yuma, Arizona, you’re in luck!

Chile Pepper in Yuma, Arizona, has recently been named one of the best burritos in the nation, according to Thrillist.com.

The famed fast-food joint has been offering guests delicious burritos since Juan and Bessie Gutierrez first opened in 1954, and a mouth-watering, as-big-as-your-face bean-and-cheese burrito is nearly as affordable now as it was back then — at just $1.89!

Beat that, Chipotle!

In addition to offering insanely delightful Mexican food, the restaurant also supports many local charities, including Yuma Community Food Bank.

Good food, good cause, what else are you looking for?

We want to hear from you.
