Many just call him the Burrito Man. Gerry Gutierrez, 61, is a Butler icon.

Known for preparing Mexican cuisine for over 20 years, Gutierrez, who once had a restaurant on West Jefferson Avenue, has served “mobile Mexican food” for several years.

Making his food fresh daily in a rented kitchen, Gutierrez takes phone orders, sets up pop-up tents and delivers his homemade meals in a cooler in his car.

Since making his way to Butler by way of Laguna Beach and Acapulco years ago, Gutierrez has become a familiar face and a fixture in the community.
