Similarities between the two fast-casual chains end at serving burritos, though -- and even the burritos are different. The Twisters menu features hand-held and smothered options, stuffed with beans and cheese or carne adovada. The restaurant's signature burrito is topped with french fries and smothered with New Mexican green or red chile.
The company also features a lineup of burgers covered with bacon, cheese or green chile or served open-face and blanketed with red chile. And those staples are supplemented by several more New Mexican staples, including enchiladas, Indian tacos, a bevy of breakfast items and, um, corn dogs.
The first Twisters was opened by Gary Hines and Ray Ubieta in 1997. The newest location, says an employee, should open within the next week.
