Brothers and business partners Joshua and Matthew Vella recently opened a Burrito Boyz location in Brampton at Lionhead Marketplace, at Financial Drive and Mississauga Road. Drawing on their experiences from running two other locations in Brampton, the pair saw the potential for growth in the fast, but healthy Mexican food business in the neighbourhood.

The Burrito Boyz brand, which has been operating for almost 15 years, has always been seen as “cheap eats, late night food," but Matthew Vella says, "we’ve really expanded, and now we’re tops among our competitors for freshness and quality."

"and people do travel far and wide to come here," Vella says.

Seeing their clientele becoming more health conscious, their most popular burrito is now the “Naked Burrito,” which contains the usual burrito ingredients, but without the wrap, on a bed of lettuce, which reduces the amount of carbohydrates the customer consumes.
