I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
Things aren’t just bigger in Texas. In fact, Illinois has some pretty darn big things too. From some of the world’s largest attractions in Casey to giant 32-inch pizza pies, the Prairie State has some impressive options. Here is one place where you can get a burrito so gigantic it has its very own box.
Martinez Market & Grill is the place to go if you want a burrito. But you'll want to come hungry as the portions are huge! This place is known for its homemade chorizo, so if that's up your alley, you should definitely order a burrito with it.
This Chicago spot is partially a small supermarket, so you can shop for provisions while you wait. Certain times of day get busy here and with its popularity, you may be waiting a while. But, as they say, good things come to those who wait. And when your order is up, feel free to stay and eat at the bar or a table.
Prices for a Baby Burrito run start at around $11.00 and are stuffed with meat, beans, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and just about any other add-ons you want. They are so big that they can be shared. But these aren't even the biggest burritos on the menu.
Introducing the Big Baby Burrito, weighing in at around 6-7 pounds! This massive feast is about 20-24 inches in length, about the size of an actual baby.
The price for one of these monstrous burritos is over $30.00 but it's so worth the cost. Order one for yourself or share it with friends or family. Everyone is amazed at the size and how incredible they taste.
The house-made chorizo is amazing, so when you come here, get a Baby or Big Baby filled with this insanely flavorful meat. You are sure to love it!
