Now Open: Zambrero Fresh Mexican Restaurant in downtown Raleigh

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Fresh, healthy Mexican-themed food restaurant, Zambrero is now open in downtown Raleigh at One Glenwood Ave.

The Raleigh location is only the second Zambrero in the nation as the Australia-based franchise begins expanding into the U.S.

Zambrero has a plate-for-plate mission -- meaning for every burrito, bowl or water purchased, the restaurant donates a meal to someone in need around the globe. The Raleigh location features a live ticker listing the number of meals donated.

Zambrero's grand opening for the Raleigh location is set for Jan. 24, 2020 with $5 burritos and bowls that day.

A second North Carolina location will open soon at University Hill in Durham.
