"On National Burrito Day, you can enjoy your favorite wrap without getting swallowed up by big crowds," said Brad Plothow, vice president of brand and communications for Womply. "Foot traffic to Mexican restaurants is basically flat, so go get yourself a burrito at your favorite local eatery.”

And what's the most popular type of burrito?

According to Grubhub, bean burritos were the favorite kind and also the No. 1 food of 2018 based on orders placed on the mobile food-ordering and delivery service's website and app.
