Dank Burrito Launches in Largo — First Pinellas County Location, More Florida Expansion Coming in 2025
LARGO, FL — July 3, 2025 | The long-vacant, graffiti-wrapped former Boston Market at the high-traffic intersection of East Bay Drive and Belcher Road is getting a flavorful new lease on life. Dank Burrito, the Southeast-born fast-casual chain known for bold, globally-inspired street food, is officially opening its first Pinellas County location this year in Largo.
This upcoming 3,100-square-foot restaurant at 4001 East Bay Drive will be the brand’s first Clearwater/Tampa Bay outpost and the latest chapter in Dank Burrito’s growing Florida expansion. With a vibrant 90s hip-hop ambiance and an edgy street-art aesthetic, the Largo location promises to deliver what the brand calls “flavor bombs”—a culinary mashup of international fusion and urban flair.
🍴 Inside Dank Burrito: What to Expect
The Menu:
Dank Burrito brings an exciting rotation of global flavors, drawing inspiration from Caribbean, Asian, Mexican, and American street food cultures. Fan favorites like the Jerk Chicken Burrito with pineapple-mango salsa, Pork Belly Bowls topped with kimchi or banh mi pickled veggies, and seafood tacos filled with crispy mahi or fried shrimp are just the beginning. Every dish is brought to life with house-made sauces like teriyaki, dill cocktail, and their signature honey truffle buffalo.
Sweet Tooth?
Dank doesn’t stop at savory. Indulgent, scratch-made desserts like vanilla & Nutella crème brûlée, fudgy brownies, cookies, and nostalgic Rice Krispies treats round out the menu and keep guests coming back for more.
The Vibe:
Step inside and you’ll find an Instagram-worthy interior that blends graffiti murals, custom signage, and retro street-culture décor—setting the tone for an experience that’s as bold as the food itself.
📍 Why Largo?

According to the brand, the Largo opening represents a “strategic footprint” for expanding their presence across Florida and capitalizing on the state’s appetite for unique, fast-casual fare.
