Boloco Brings Boston-Born Burritos To Bethesda

We know. That's a lot of B's.

 

A burrito chain that originated in Boston will soon open its doors in Bethesda.

Boloco, short for Boston Local Company, will officially open at 4930 Elm Street on Bethesda Row Thursday. But hungry residents were poking their heads in the door Monday evening during the chain's soft opening, taste-testing the "globally inspired" fare.
