Fighting Burrito in Ames Closing

[BCoffClone125]

Saw this on their Facebook page this morning: https://www.facebook.com/FightingBurrito/

Sad day for me and many of my college buddies. I spent way too many drunken nights there after bar close chowing down on a burrito, quesadilla or the occasional monster sized rice krispie treat. Was a staple on Welch during my ISU days, will be interesting to see what that location becomes. It's prime real estate in Campus Town.

Guess the Burrito lost the fight.

Was never my favorite burrito when i was sober but their 4am close time and delivery option got me through a lot of weekend nights in college

<Mr. Burrito

is that place still open at 2 am?

Curious to see what goes here. Location is amazing.

What Welch DOESNT need is another Chinese restaurant or tattoo parlor. Would like to see this stay a fast casual restaurant

Long live the Flying Burrito

If Panchero's were smart, they'd move to that location, but I doubt that would happen.

I wish when I was in college, I went to Mr. Burrito more often.

I haven't been in campustown in a while, but I think it'd be great if a fast food restaurant opened up that served burgers, chicken sandwiches, etc.

Pancheros used to be located at Mickeys if my memory is correct.

My number was banned from delivery orders when I was in college, for good reason. RIP

Spent way too much money at Flying Burrito back in the day. And their huge brownies were massively underrated.

Is there still a DQ in campus town on Welch?

 

[Cycsk]

Is anything left of the Matthew Goodman campustown empire?

This is correct. The El Gordo burrito was an absolute treasure! Panchero's is a shell of what it used to be and it still blows the doors off the likes of Fighting Burrito, Qdoba, & Chipotle.
