History

Established in 2014.

In May of 2014 Clarke Merrell, owner, rolled out the food truck called the Dank Burrito. Dank means "fresh" or "of high quality." Clarke and his team have created delicious, unique burritos and tacos using a variety of proteins, housemade salsas, slaws, and kimchi. The food truck operates all around Carteret and surrounding counties. The Dank Burrito will open its first restaurant location this fall in Morehead City, while continuing to also travel with the food truck. Dank Burrito is the winner of Mobile Cuisine's National Food Truck Rookie of the Year for 2014. Many of Dank Burrito's loyal followers call themselves "Danksters" and call themselves the "Burrito Mafia."
