Think you’ve got what it takes to conquer a 10-pound burrito?

That’s the question Fresh Jalapeño Mexican Restaurant is asking locals after unveiling its newest and biggest menu item yet: a 24-inch, 10-pound burrito food challenge that’s quickly turning heads in Lake County.

(The new 10-pound burrito is so big it takes two to carry it! Now that’s a challenge!)

“Think you can handle it?” reads the restaurant’s social media announcement. “Take on our 24-inch, 10-pound Burrito Challenge! Finish it in 60 minutes and it’s FREE—plus you get a T-shirt and your photo on our Wall of Fame.”

The challenge, announced Thursday, has sparked a buzz throughout Lady Lake and beyond, especially since few food challenges of this scale exist in the region.

Fresh Jalapeño is the creation of owner Manny Tovar, who opened the restaurant in April 2024. With his mother, Maria Corona, as head chef, the restaurant promises authentic Mexican cuisine steeped in family tradition and bold flavors.

“All of our food is authentic,” said Tovar. “When we arrived, we made extensive renovations to the building and the kitchen. We want people to know that this is a brand-new ownership group committed to giving the best experience possible.”

He credits his mother’s recipes and her personal touch in the kitchen for transporting customers straight to the heart of Mexico.

“Everything is made with love. You’ll feel that in every bite, every sip of a margarita,” Tovar added. “If you want food made with loving care, that’s what we provide.”
