Denny’s, America’s Diner, continues to expand offerings to please hungry burrito lovers with the national extension of its popular virtual brand, Banda Burrito. Part of the Denny’s family of off-premise brands, Cali-Mex-inspired Banda Burrito serves up convenient and delicious burritos around the clock, available for delivery or carryout at bandaburrito.com and most third-party food delivery apps.
Founded in the LA region of California, Banda Burrito was conceived as a new platform for Denny’s to diversify its menu offerings and increase its reach to dinner-and-late-night feasters and party prowlers. The brand quickly captured the hearts of burrito lovers with its bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and West Coast vibe and will be available at more than 1,000 locations nation wide by month’s end.
Inspired by the Spanish word “Banda,” meaning “crew” or “band,” Banda Burrito’s menu is an ode to the flavors of friendship and fiestas, featuring eight signature handhelds that deliciously mingle traditional breakfast staples and Cali-Mex fillings. Banda’s ingredients range from fluffy scrambled eggs, sizzlin’ bacon, and crispy hash browns, to spicy chorizo, slow-cooked brisket, and juicy carne asada, mixed with fresh salsas, veggies, and shredded cheeses. They are bold, jam-packed, and bursting with tastiness; perfect for those hungry for something special.
Imaginative names pay tribute to the music of northern Mexico, where the modern-day burrito originated. In the world of Banda, every song is a story, and each mind-blowing burrito has its own delicious story to tell.
A few of the signature combinations include:
EL DESVELADO: Carne asada, fresh avocado, 5-pepper sauce, fire-roasted bell peppers and onions, red skin potatoes and shredded artisan cheese blend in a warm flour tortilla with a side of salsa. Buenas noches, indeed!
EL CHAMUCO: Chorizo, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, shredded artisan cheese blend, and sliced jalapeños. Muy sabroso!
EL TEJANO: Slow-cooked brisket burnt ends, scrambled eggs, shredded artisan cheese blend, fire-roasted bell peppers & onions, red skin potatoes, and creamy BBQ sauce. Vamos de fiesta!
Side dishes include nachos, chips and queso, French fries, and fruit. For those with a taste for dessert, the Banda Milkshake, made with premium hand-dipped ice cream, chocolate syrup and cinnamon crunch, is a must-try.
“Banda Burrito offers the perfect fusion of authentic Mexican flavors with a California twist, packed with fresh, tasty ingredients and made to order to ensure every bite bursts with flavor,” said Sharon Lykins, vice president of culinary innovation. “With the expansion of the brand nationwide, we’re excited for more people to experience Cali-Mex flavors, day or night, in the comfort of their homes.”
Part of a portfolio of popular off-premise brands, including The Burger Den and The Meltdown, Banda Burrito leverages Denny’s 24-hour operations to offer a variety of craveable combinations to a growing audience of younger diners who prefer off-premise options, especially late-night. The brand’s expansion signals Denny’s successful strategy in adapting to changing consumer preferences and represents a significant growth opportunity for Denny’s in new markets such as Arizona, Florida, Illinois, New Mexico, Nevada, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington state.
