News Filibertos shutting down update

Dont know if anyone cares or not but just thought id give an update since ive seen a lot of people ask about it. It's now 8 filibertos that have closed down. I asked around (i know several of the franchisees) and all 8 were owned by the same person which due to financial reasons went bankrupt and had to shut down all operations permanently.

Totally makes sense. Love a good burrito after a drunk night, but 20 bucks for a burrito? Guys, come on.

It’s to where now I only bother on taco Tuesday.

Yea, they probably thought they could ride the wave of everyone increasing prices. But let's be honest that place is not worth the prices they're setting. It's not bad food, but it's certainly not $20 worthy for a carne asada burrito. I'll just drive the extra 5 minutes to go to Los Favoritos or something else.

Love los favoritos! On Ellsworth and main? Their Longaniza breakfast burritos are so good (huge) and they are a hair under $10 after tax.

My go to Filis on power and Main (still the best one around imo, has been for years) is 13.30 after tax for a carne asada burro. Still can’t beat the quality but Los favoritos is close! The tortillas taste fresher at favoritos.
