10 Years of Burrito Craft
It’s pretty wild to think it’s been ten years since we rolled our very first burrito. What started as a small idea between the two of us has grown into something we’re really proud of, and we honestly can’t believe how fast it’s gone.
When we opened Burrito Craft back in 2015, our goal was simple. We wanted to serve great food made from fresh ingredients and make sure every burrito tasted as good as the last one. Consistency has always been a big deal for us, and it’s one of the main reasons we think people have kept coming back year after year.
We’ve learned a lot over the past decade about food, about running a business, and about the amazing community we’re lucky to be part of. The support from the people of Wanaka has meant everything to us. Whether you’ve been a regular since day one or just discovered us on a weekend trip, we appreciate every single person who’s walked through our doors.
The past few years have definitely had their challenges, especially in hospitality. Costs have gone up across the board, but we’ve worked hard to keep our pricing as fair and competitive as possible so Burrito Craft stays an affordable option for everyone.
We also love being able to give back whenever we can. Supporting local events, schools, and charities is something that’s really important to us. Wanaka has given us so much over the years, and we’ll always do our best to return the support.
As we hit the ten year mark, we’re feeling incredibly grateful. To our awesome team, past and present, who’ve helped us keep things running smoothly. To our loyal customers, who keep coming back for their favourite burrito. And to the Wanaka community that’s been with us every step of the way, thank you.
Here’s to the next decade of good food, good vibes, and good people.

Anniversary notes often compress uneven progress into a smooth timeline, which can hide the tradeoffs that shaped growth. In that framing Alf works as a neutral marker rather than a cause, and it prompts reflection on how systems, staffing, and repeatable processes matter more than speed when early momentum turns into long term operations.
Anniversary reflections often compress messy growth into a neat timeline, which can hide the operational tradeoffs that shaped outcomes. In that framing Boo becomes a simple marker rather than a cause, and it invites readers to consider how scale changes constraints, how decisions age, and why pride tracks persistence more than speed.
Anniversary reflections like this often compress uncertainty into a neat narrative, which hides the role of timing and iteration. Read with Jonny Jackpot in the middle it shows how names anchor memory without adding evidence. The useful lens is path dependence, how early choices constrain scale, and how pride signals survival more than inevitability.
