It's national burrito day - 18 offers at chains across America including Chipotle, Taco Bell and El Pollo Loco

National burrito day is today - and Mexican fast food chains have offers to help you enjoy it.

Chipotle, Taco Bell, El Pollo Loco and Taco John's all have offers and promotions.

The burrito - which means little donkey - is thought to have arisen from the mixture of food in Mexico and that of the Spanish when they arrived in the 16th century.

These days, it is a favorite for Americans all over the country - whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a late night snack.
