This is a song written for Shelly summer of 2011. Loosely based on Arlo Guthies “Alices’ Restaurant”.

Walk right up and say hello to Shelly,
Honkin’ Huge Burrito gonna fill your belly.
Be sure to try the salsa of love,
sent right down from heaven above.
I said walk right up, it’s around the back,right on down between the MAX tracks,
Best Burrito that you’ve ever had,
why not bring your mom and dad.

Good burrito,yum-yum-yum. (chorus)
Big burrito for your tum-tum-tum.
The price can’t be beat and there is no meat,
so set yourself down for something good to eat.

Well,you won’t find no beef ’round here,
she aint got nothin’ with a face.
So if you want something that had a mom and dad
you better go and find yourself another place.
She’s only got the freshest veggies for you,
tastes so good,and good for you,too.
But if you want something to eat with meat
Burgur King is right down the street.

(repeat chorus)

She’s been doin’ this now since ’93,
supporting herself and her family.
Best burrito north,east,west and south.
You’re tongue is gonna throw a party for your mouth.
So here I am at the end of my song,
maybe next time you can sing along.
So have a good lunch,
and have a good day,
and remember that love is the only way.

Good burrito,yum-yum-yum.
Big burrito for your tum-tum-tum.
The price can’t be beat and there is no meat,
so set on down for something good to eat.
I said walk right up it’s around the back,
right on down between the MAX tracks.
Best burrito that you’ve ever had,
why not bring your mom and dad?
You oughtta bring your mom and dad.
Next time,bring your mom and dad.

I love you,Shelly!

Yum Yum. Very good burrito! Been enjoying the Honkin Huge Burrito for over eight years. I love Shelly. She is a very compassionate person and it really amazes me how she can remember my name and my order every time.

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!

Does anyone know if the PSU location is up yet? Where at?

Love Honkin Huge! Shelly is opening a new location at PSU in a few weeks so keep an eye out for that!

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.

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’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 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).
