So much food for a great price…the burritos are huge! We always stop by when traveling through NW Arkansas. Good vegetarian options. My go to is the relleno burrito. My only regret I don't live nearby!" - Billy R. Manny has only been involved with King Burrito for a few years but he has already become the face and voice of the popular Mexican eating establishment. A savvy businessman, Manny knew a good thing when he saw it, and tasted it, a few years ago. The first location was in Rogers. A second followed in Bentonville. But the real expansion didn't begin until two years ago. "Adan Soto, who is the original owner of King Burrito, and I were partners in some other businesses," Manny continues. "I told him he really had a great product and concept here at Burrito King and suggested he let me take it to the next level." Partnering up with the visionary Manny and Carlos Arrguin, their third partner, was the best move Adan could have made. In just two years, they have expanded to 6 locations, with the newest now open in Tontitown. They are also planning two more locations: a second one in Fayetteville and another in Fort Smith. "I am a businessman first and foremost," Manny says. "I knew the food was great and I just believed this was an outfit that could really be successful with the right person guiding them into the future." The team of Adan, Manny and Carlos have a vision to eventually franchise King Burrito nationwide. The goal is to have a total of ten locations by the middle of next year and demonstrate how successful they can be. At that time they plan to present the idea to investors who are already showing interest. Luckily for Northwest Arkansas locals, we don't have to wait for King Burrito to go national, we can enjoy the fresh, homemade Mexican delicacies every day, just a short drive away from wherever we are. And with Manny in charge, you can bet it is going to be around for a long, long time.
