March 28, 2012 // Franchising.com // Charlotte, N.C. - Salsarita’s - the Fresh Mexican Cantina that offers a bright and colorful atmosphere featuring signature burritos, Mexican pizzas, house-made salsas and seasoned tortilla chips — recently announced the launch of its first new menu item under new leadership.  Beginning April 2 ‘CasaRito – the Saucy Burrito’ will be available to restaurant guests in three delicious varieties:  Quesarito (burrito covered with creamy queso), Rancharito (burrito covered with a robust ranchero sauce) and Tomarito (burrito covered with warm, spicy tomatillo salsa). Backed by a local store marketing plan featuring direct mail and point-of-purchase materials, the new knife-and-fork burrito will be offered for both dinner and lunch and will give guests a unique way to flavor their favorite burrito. Each will feature new packaging to hold the sauce and provide an easy dine-in or to-go Salsarita’s experience.

“We are very excited for the debut of our new line of sauced burritos,” said Salsarita’s CEO Phil Friedman. “We believe this is a new and unique menu offering not found in other Mexican restaurants.”

The name “CasaRito” comes from the Spanish term for “house burrito.”  Salsarita’s will welcome the new menu item with a Cantina Card Game, based on traditional Mexican lottery games, that offers guests the opportunity to win a free CasaRito on their next visit.
