A Tucson restaurant is offering a ganga deal on Monday, Feb. 8, in response to Chipotle Mexican Grill keeping its doors closed most of the day.
While Chipotle restaurants nationwide — including its handful of Tucson locations — are shuttered at lunchtime today, Sir Veza's Taco Garage is offering a two-fer deal all day. Buy one burrito or bowl and you get a second one free.
In the restaurant's Facebook posting, owner Ray Flores encouraged diners to jump on the deal from the locally owned restaurant whose "CEO doesn't make $24 million a year." He also noted that "certain restrictions apply such as enjoying your food is mandatory!"
Chipotle restaurants are expected to reopen at 3 p.m. Monday, Feb. 8. The company closed all its restaurants for half of the day to hold meetings with employees on food safety after a string of incidents since last summer at locations nationwide left hundreds of diners sick.
Sir Veza's has two Tucson locations — 4699 E. Speedway and 220 W. Wetmore Road at the Tucson Mall. It also has three locations in the Phoenix area including one in Terminal 4 at Sky Harbor International Airport.
