Menus

a plate of food with broccoli

THE FOLLOWING POLICIES ARE IN AFFECT:

Masks are now required for all guests and employees of The Painted Burro, regardless of your vaccination status.  Face coverings are mandatory when entering our restaurant and if you are not seated at your table (entering, exiting, using the restroom, and walking around the restaurant). We appreciate your help keeping our team and fellow guests safe!

We will continue to ask guests seated on our Elm Street Patio to limit their time to 90 minutes as these tables are in high demand for patrons that are not yet comfortable dining indoors.

Our bar & lounge are available for drinks only, however we will continue to ask that reservations for table service order some food items as well. 

There is a 5% Kitchen Admin Fee applied to all checks. We feel this is the most transparent & best way in lieu of raising our menu prices, to help close the gap in wage disparities between our Front of the House and Back of the House employees. Thank you for your support & understanding!
