Wow, Pekin! Tuesday was absolutely RECORD-BREAKING, and we are still buzzing! Let’s keep that incredible momentum rolling right into the rest of the week. You asked for it, so you already know what day it is...

🎉 WELCOME TO WRAP-IT WEDNESDAY! 🎉

We are serving up two massive ways to tackle your mid-week cravings for just $8 EACH:

The Mega 12-Inch Wrap: We start with a massive 12-inch tortilla and load it up with rice, beans, your choice of protein (Steak, Chicken, or Beef), and all the best fixings—cilantro, onion, lettuce, tomato, and fresh pico de gallo. You call the shots!

The Toasted Crunch Wrap: Want that perfect crunch? We take that 12-inch tortilla, layer in two hard-shell tostadas, pack all those same incredible toppings in between, fold it up, and grill it to absolute perfection!
