Hot Head Burritos (Website) is preparing to enter the New Jersey market with plans to open five locations across the state.

The expansion is part of a new partnership with RSRN Hospitality, a local group of restaurant operators who bring more than eight years of industry experience.

While exact locations have not been announced, restaurants are expected in Middlesex, Somerset, and Hudson counties.

Hot Head Burritos was founded in 2007 in Dayton, Ohio, and has grown to over 85 locations across eight states.

The fast-casual chain is known for customizable burritos, bowls, tacos, and more, built around a lineup of 16 signature sauces ranging from mild to extra hot.

Additional updates and opening timelines are expected in the coming months.
