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.

With its deceptive name, the Baby Burrito is not small. In fact, it's about 10-12 inches and packed so full it weighs in about 2-3 pounds.

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 Big Baby is so ginormous that it needs its own carrying box. You need to come here and see one for yourself.

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!
