Our parents migrated from Chaletenango, El Salvador to Boston, Massachusetts chasing the American Dream. Rafael and Dinora knew their future was filled with high hopes and strong work ethic. Coupled with killer flavor from their small kitchen in Stead, Nevada, and an itch for opening a business venture together they knew a restaurant would be an ideal type of business.
Speedy Burritos was established in 2005 and fell under new management in 2009. Today, Speedy’s is one of Reno’s Favorite Spot for burritos and Mexican food in general. My brother and I hope to keep the business generational and aspire to bring you great, quality food for years to come.
At Speedy Burritos we believe in using every last bit of ingredients we have to not be wasteful. When we prepare ingredients, we try to mix in tasteful scraps that tend to be discarded at your typical restaurant. That being said, we prepare everything in house from scratch in exception of a very few items (nacho cheese, fries, olives, and diced jalapenos). From the guacamole to the Spanish rice, it's all prepared in the morning before we open up the doors!
At Speedy Burritos we tend to have compassion for people with need and frequently feed many hungry individuals. Dinora prepares more than 50 burritos a month and a long with her church group gives them out on 4th street in front of the homeless shelter. We also tend to make a donation to Costco's fund for Renown's Children Fund and have for many consecutive years. Speedy's has contributed to Glenn Duncan Elementary for raffle events prizes for teachers and will continue to support schools in neighborhoods of need!
