Your next burrito run could come with a free entrée—and you won’t need to commit to permanent ink to get it. Chipotle is bringing back its “Tatted Like a Chipotle Bag” promotion on Friday, November 13, giving tattoo-wearing customers a buy-one-get-one entrée deal at participating Houston locations.
There’s a catch worth setting a reminder for: the offer runs only from 3 to 4 p.m. local time. That gives you one hour to show up with your ink, buy an entrée and claim another of equal or lesser value.
How to get Chipotle’s Friday the 13th deal in Houston
You don’t need a sleeve—or even a real tattoo—to take part. Permanent tattoos, temporary tattoos and drawn-on designs all qualify, according to Chipotle. Other creative interpretations may count, too, though restaurant staff have the final say.
Here’s what to know before heading out:
- When: Friday, November 13, 2026, from 3 to 4 p.m. local time.
- Where: Participating Chipotle restaurants in Houston and across the U.S. and Canada.
- The deal: Buy an entrée and get one of equal or lesser value free.
- What qualifies: A real, temporary or drawn-on tattoo.
- How to redeem: Order in person. The promotion isn’t available through the app, online or for delivery.
The offer is limited to five free menu items per check, with a qualifying entrée purchase required for each free item. Each free item must be claimed by a tattoo-wearing customer, and kids’ meals don’t count as qualifying purchases. The deal is subject to availability and can’t be combined with other offers.
Why tattoos—and why Friday the 13th?
The promotion takes its name from the “tatted like a Chipotle bag” meme, which compares heavily tattooed looks to the hand-drawn artwork on the chain’s takeout bags. It also nods to the tattoo community’s Friday the 13th tradition of offering flash sheets: collections of small, pre-designed tattoos.
Chipotle first turned the joke into a BOGO event in June 2025. According to the company, that promotion delivered its highest-ever sales during the usually quieter 3-to-4 p.m. hour. Its March 13, 2026 return then helped drive what was, at the time, Chipotle’s highest single-day sales—approximately 10% above its previous record.
Wiz Khalifa is joining in—but his special bags won’t be at Houston restaurants
This time around, Chipotle has teamed up with Wiz Khalifa on limited-edition takeout bags featuring designs inspired by his tattoos and signed by the artist.
Before you plan your Houston burrito run around collecting one, there’s an important distinction: the bags will only be handed out at one Pittsburgh restaurant during the promotion, while supplies last.
Houston fans do have a separate chance to win one. U.S. Chipotle Rewards members can enter a sweepstakes for one of 13 bags through the Rewards Exchange from November 12–14, using 10 points per entry, with a maximum of 20 entries. A free entry method is also available under the sweepstakes rules.
For the local BOGO, though, no celebrity memorabilia—or permanent tattoo appointment—is required. A temporary tattoo and a well-timed afternoon burrito run will do.
