Bonfires Tortilla Bar

What makes a Bonfire Burrito unique? Since opening in late 2003, we have been pleased with the positive response from the citizens of Goldsboro and the personnel at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base.  We informally quiz newcomers as to how they have heard about Bonfire’s, and most of you respond that you have learned about us from co-workers or friends. We appreciate the good word of mouth. Your kind words make us feel like Wayne County’s Most Beloved Burrito Joint.

But, what makes customers buzz about a Bonfire’s.  I feel that what makes our burritos unique are the flavored tortillas, the house recipe seasoning blends, and the salsas and sauces, and of course their monster size (the beast weighs in at around 2  1/2 pounds). Mostly though, YOU are what makes a Bonfire burrito unique. With so many toppings to choose from, the one that you create is assembled by our burrito technicians under your watchful eye and comes out uniquely yours.

Our tortillas come in six flavors. The cheddar jalapeno (very popular and contrary to it’s name - not spicy), the Traditional White Flour, the Spinach  tortilla, the garlic and herb, the sun-dried tomato, and the honey wheat flavored tortilla. Each one adds its own interesting texture and mild flavor profile.

We take seasoning very seriously. With a name like Bonfire’s, some folks probably assume that we simply just add heat to everything. While we do have the ability to fire up your burrito with some insanely hot sauces, we also create our own mild fajita spice blends and marinades. We even blend our own garlic salt to suit our taste!

The real Bonfire difference is probably best defined by our salsa and sauces.  We consider our salsas to be our chunkier recipes and our sauces to be our smoother recipes. We have 15 on hand to choose from and of those 11 are house originals and really define a Bonfire Burrito. 

Another difference is the shear size of the dang things. They come in three sizes.  The junior, is typically just under a pound and is for both adults and kids. The regular is our most popular size and weighs in around 1.25 to 1.5 pounds. The Beast is so large at 2.5 pounds that it is typically shared by two or devoured by one (usually just for the bragging rights!)

But, as I said earlier, YOU make the biggest difference! Each burrito is unique to you, the ultimate burrito connoisseur. There are literally thousands of possible combinations, but don’t feel overwhelmed. Just pick the toppings that YOU like and it will taste great. 

Remember, Bonfires’ Tortilla Bar is where burritos are always in good taste!
