Santa Fe Burrito Grill Is Opening in Melrose

A pair of fast-casual Mexican restaurants with locations on the South Shore and southwest of Boston is opening a third outlet, with this one being north of the city.

According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Santa Fe Burrito Grill is planning to open in Melrose, with a Patch article stating that the dining spot will open by the corner of Main Street and Grove Street in the old Papa Gino's building. Based on the other two locations in Weymouth and Franklin, expect to see nachos, tacos, burritos, tortas, bowls, and more at the new restaurant.

The address for the upcoming location of Santa Fe Burrito Grill in Melrose is 417 Main Street, Melrose, MA, 02176. The website for the existing locations can be found at https://santafeburritogrill.com/
