Here is everything you need to know about the celebration, the giveaway and what’s on the menu.

Grand opening perks coming to Barberitos in Pike Road

To celebrate the grand opening on Aug. 20, the new Barberitos restaurant at 12718 US Hwy. 80 in Pike Road is rolling out a big perk for early birds:

• Be one of the first 50 guests on grand opening day to score free queso for a year!
• The reward includes one medium queso each week for 52 weeks (valid only at the Pike Road location).
• Guests must be a Barberitos reward member or sign up for the rewards program on grand opening day.

What’s on the menu at Barberitos?

Whether you need a quick weekday lunch or a custom dinner on the go, the Barberitos menu features classic Southwest favorites made to order. Plus, guests can enjoy their meal on-site with both indoor and outdoor patio dining options available.

• Signature Favorites: Try crowd-pleasers like loaded chicken burritos and fresh Southwest salads.
• Build-Your-Own: Customize your perfect meal by choosing a base—burrito, bowl, tacos, or quesadilla—and stacking it with your choice of proteins, toppings and house-made salsas.

This marks the fast-casual chain’s first location in Montgomery County and its third spot in the River Region, joining existing restaurants in Prattville and Wetumpka. Barberitos adds another quick-service option for local residents and I-85 travelers alike, sharing Heritage Plaza with next-door neighbor Teriyaki Madness.
