By Popular Demand Slow-Cooked Pork Returns to Barberitos’ Menu

TL;DR

Barberitos has reintroduced pulled pork to its menu due to customer demand and added ghost pepper tortillas and avocado ranch dressing. The chain, founded by Downing Barber in 2000, has grown to 50 locations in seven southeastern states.

“Our customers crave the pulled pork and have been requesting it ever since its initial limited-time offer,” said Barberitos Founder and CEO Downing Barber. “As we approach Barberitos’ 20th anniversary, we are excited to introduce additional items - ghost pepper tortillas and avocado ranch dressing - to keep the menu fresh.”

Barberitos’ pulled pork recipe involves rubbing the meat with a secret combination of seven spices before cooking it slowly at a low temperature. The result is tender, flavorful meat that serves as an ideal topping on Barberitos’ burritos, tacos, burrito bowls, salads and nachos.

The ghost pepper tortillas will add a kick to any burrito or taco, and the new avocado ranch dressing is a tasty topping to all of Barberitos’ offerings.
