NORTH REDINGTON BEACH â The first Burrito Social restaurant in the continental United States opened its doors on Dec. 18 in Redington Village.
After the Wine Cellar shut its doors at that location seven years earlier, the space has been vacant. Locals were more than ready for a new eatery to take its place, and Burrito Social fit that bill.
Burrito Social is the brainchild of stepbrothers Emmanuel Garcia-Cole and Antonio Ruiz. After many years in the restaurant industry in both the U.S. and Puerto Rico, they began Burrito Social in 2015 as a modern roadside food truck in greater San Juan, Puerto Rico. The combination of Mexico City street food and California mission-style burritos was a hit with the metro area crowd.
