This is not a joke: National Burrito Day and April Fools’ Day fall on the same day this year.
The day of pranks and burrito deals is Thursday and while Mexican food chains aren t exactly going the whole enchilada, the day hasn t been canceled like other food days during the COVID-19 pandemic, including Free Cone Day and 7-Eleven s Free Slurpee Day.
Burrito Day is held annually on the first Thursday of April.
Thursday also is the first day of IHOP s revamped National Pancake Day promotion for those who joined the chain s email club by March 31. Throughout April, members get a free short stack of pancakes.

Starting today, people ages 50-64 are eligible for the vaccine.
Beginning April 15, 2021, every Californian age 16 and older will become eligible for COVID-19 vaccines. However, even though more people are eligible now there is still a shortage of doses so it may be difficult to get an appointment.
Today is opening day at the Padres!
Game time is 1:10pm and they are playing the Arizona Diamondbacks. Friday at 7:10 p.m., Saturday at 5:40 p.m. and Sunday at 1:10 p.m.
If you are going to the game though, things are going to be a little different. The Padres are only allowed 20 percent capacity for their home games, which is about 10 thousand fans in the stands.
Matsu, the American/Japanese pop-up restaurant founded in Oceanside in July 2019, will be moving into its own permanent space on April 1.
Chef-owner William Eick had been fine-tuning his concept as a tasting menu offered to just one table for one seating three nights a week at Mission Ave. Bar & Grill, where he formerly worked as executive chef. Plans to move Matsu into its own space were derailed last year by the pandemic. But in December of 2020, Eick got word of a space in Oceanside opening up this spring, and he felt the time was right.
“We’re seeing drastic changes in Oceanside, and people are itching to get back out again to have some sort of experience. So it seemed like a wonderful time to do it,” Eick said.
