Portland is blessed with many burrito shops and carts so sometimes it can be hard to say one is better than the other. And some people have a hard time getting excited about them because they are all over.
The burritos at Shelly’s Honkin’ Huge Garden Burritos include refried pinto beans, Mexican rice, lettuce, fresh salsa, stewed tomatoes and your choice of many hot sauces in a freshly toasted flour tortilla. The best things about Shelley’s burritos are how quickly they are made, that dairy-free burritos receive 50 cents off, there are plenty of hot sauces to choose from and that they are huge – even the small!
You can pick out a banana flavor hot sauce, chili lime sauce, or even barbecue sauce, just to name a few. There are three sizes to choose from: small, medium and large. If you’re looking for a cheap lunch, $4.75 with a lot of food- this is a hit. Add chips for 25 cents or a lemonade for $2.00.

I absolutely love Shelly’s. If I worked downtown I would have a really hard time not eating there at least 3 times a week. Best…Burrito…Ever. And FWIW, I’ve never noticed a huge difference between the sizes of the burritos. I’ve had them all and I can’t say the large fills me up any more than the small does (but they definitely all fill me up).
I’m pretty sure the guacamole is vegan as well and comes on the burrito. Shelly will sub her terrific homemade salsa if you don’t get the guacamole. This is a weekly spot for me and even the small burrito is enough lunch for two days.
I used to get a Honkin’ Huge burrito weekly and haven’t been there in several years! I work downtown so now I have another place to suggest where both myself and my meat-eating friends can chow in perfect harmony.
I moved to Georgia two years ago and I’m really missing my Honkin Huge’s! I’ll try to wing it myself but it’s never the same.
Love Honkin Huge! Shelly is opening a new location at PSU in a few weeks so keep an eye out for that!
Does anyone know if the PSU location is up yet? Where at?
The PSU location is actually closed already. Shelly had it up for a few months but because of the economy, it wasn’t profitable to keep it going. Kids don’t have that much extra cash to spend! So you’ll just have to go to the Square for your burrito. At least it’s not too far!
