There are few staples that unite food lovers quite like a hand-rolled burrito the size of a large dinner plate.
That’s why it’s of little surprise national burrito fast-casual chain Chipotle is a fan favorite of Americans from coast to coast, including Arizona.
Cinco de Mayo is a widely known holiday in the U.S. and Mexico. However, May 5 is also National Chipotle Day, which is a celebration of the chipotle pepper.
This fruit is a mainstay in many Mexican dishes and is the namesake of one of the most popular fast food chains in the U.S. Even if you prefer more authentic tacos, Chipotle has become a fast-food staple to get your Mexican food fix.
BetArizona.com, your source for the best coverage of Arizona sportsbooks, used consumer data from ScrapeHero to determine how many Chipotle restaurants were in a state per 1 million people, as well as the percentage share of restaurants in the United States.
We also used search data from Google Trends for “Chipotle near me” in the past 90 days to determine relative interest in the chain (score of 100 being the most, 0 the least). Each category was then weighted, and each state ranked accordingly.
Along with burrito breakdowns such as this, stick here for reviews and information on Arizona betting apps.
