Burrito Express is a Mexican restaurant in Pasadena, California. It was founded in 1978 by Victor and Lila Cuadra, a Mexican couple raised in Los Angeles. By 1980, the former was able to quit his job as an officer for the California Highway Patrol in order to focus on the business. In 1999, the Cuadras sold the business to longtime employee Ranulfo Rosas. He, in turn, sold the business in 2008 to his nephew Will Orozco and his wife Deya. Their burritos named after Lance Ito and Ross Perot drew national attention in the 1990s.
