(US, pejorative) The delivery of takeaway food ordered through an app or online platform.
The “burrito taxi” was an internet meme that took aim at the perceived entitlement of America’s millennial left.
Origin: Apparently coined by Twitter user Sabrmattrics in a meme in which a man arguing "Inflation is bad" concedes that actually prices appear high because he "ordered a private taxi for [his] burrito". Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).

For ESL learners
burrito taxi means: The delivery of takeaway food ordered through an app or online platform.. Register: very informal, internet slang. Suitable only for casual conversation, chat and social media. Do not use in business, academic or news writing. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons.

The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
