Happy New Year everyone!

Thank you for all the wonderful memories you all shared this last 6 weeks. We had a line of people from the minute we opened the door to the minute we closed. We could say we went out with a bang! El Burrito was a big part of hundreds of families lives.

Also , a big shout out to the crew you all 100% rocked! Endless hours on your feet, every day, no break and just kept on going! Well, we made it! Thank you.
And to the former employees, family and friends that came in and helped us. We needed you and you came through,
thank you, thank you.

There are still several of your family pictures that are left on our picture wall upstairs.
For the most part, everyone got theirs, but if you did not  and still want it message me and we’ll get that picture to you.

Again, thank you for 65 amazing years !

Good morning. I thought I would give you some general answers to a few of your questions. 
-Dorothy is still undecided what will happen to the lot and the building.
-The decor has already been claimed by the granddaughters and will definitely stay in the family .
As far as the tables, chairs, booths, trays, plates, etc. That will be decided by Phil at a later date.
-There is no cookbook in the works and the recipes are not for sale. There is discussion about maybe cooking and selling Grandma Godinez’s recipes offsite.
-The Aztec Sundial has been asked to be donated to Museo de las Tres Colonias
to preserve the legacy of El Burrito and its lasting impact on Fort Collins.
- Our last day in business will be Wednesday December 31.

Also, thank you to all of you that purchased a commemorative El Burrito T-shirt, and or shot glass. They sold very quickly. We still have plenty of shot glasses in stock. More
t-shirts were ordered and will be available for sale on December 26.
I hope this answered a few of your questions, have a great weekend.

To Our Loyal Customers, Family and Friends

After 65 wonderful years in business, the time has come for us to say goodbye. It is with mixed emotions and heavy hearts that we announce we will be closing our doors at the end of the year.

Since 1960 our family has had the honor of being part of this incredible community. We are deeply grateful for every visit, every kind word, and every moment that you chose to spend with us. El burrito has always been more than just a restaurant, it’s been a gathering place for love, laughter, and sometimes tears. Creating friendships that will last a lifetime. You watched our family grow, as we watched yours, and you let us be a part of your family gatherings for the good times and bad. We will always cherish being a part of your family’s stories.

All of the loyalty and unwavering support of the hundreds of employees and customers over the years have been the foundation of everything we’ve built. It’s been a privilege being in your lives for so many decades, and we will carry those memories with us forever.

Though we have decided to make this incredibly emotional decision, we
believe our beloved Agustina Godinez,
Jesse Godinez, and Connie Godinez were right there with us. Their hard work, dedication, and spirit made the heart of the restaurant. We will honor them today and always.

El Burrito will forever be a part of the story we all share. We hope the spirit of what we built together continues to live on in the community we’ve all helped to create.

From the bottom of our hearts thank you for 65 years of loyalty, laughter, and friendships. You made this journey unforgettable.
While it is a bittersweet goodbye, we hope to see you for one last memory.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Dorothy Godinez and Family, Godinez Family, Phil Campbell, and all the
employees over the last 65 years.
