The festivities kick off at 10:30 a.m., when the first 50 guests in line will receive a free burrito card redeemable during their next visit. Guests can be among the first in Newburgh to try Hot Head's customizable, made-to-order burritos, bowls, tacos and nachos, with signature sauces ranging from Mild to Wild.
Located near Interstate 69 and the growing retail and residential developments surrounding High Pointe Drive, the restaurant brings Hot Head Burritos’ bold flavors and customizable menu to another Southwest Indiana community.
Guests can build meals from more than 40 fresh ingredients and 16 signature sauces, creating thousands of flavor combinations tailored to their preferences. The menu also includes gluten-free, vegetarian, keto, paleo and allergy-friendly options, making it easy for guests to find their go-to order.
The new restaurant is owned and operated by franchisees JK Patel and Preksha Pandya. Patel also owns Hot Head Burritos’ Evansville location, and Jigar Soni will serve as general manager.
