A burro percherón is a traditional dish from the Mexican state of Sonora, originating in the cities of Hermosillo and Guaymas. A variation of the classic burrito, it is one of the most popular foods in these two cities, being offered in several establishments, both establishments and mobile food trucks, where they are offered mainly at night, although recently there are establishments that offer burro percherón in its menu throughout the day. Among the main and most striking features of burro percherón is that they are large in size and have a distinct taste due to the combination and concentration of the ingredients. Traditionally the burro percherón are prepared with grilled or charcoal-roasted meat, avocado, Mexican cheese or chihuahua cheese, and tomatoes (although variants exist in each restaurant). At present, the number of establishments serving burros percherones are growing and there are chains that manage franchises extending to several parts of the country.
