Honkin' Huge Burritos!
Location: Pioneer Courthouse Square – Downtown Portland
Description: Shelly’s Garden, another name for Honkin’ Huge Burritos has been serving up some of the best burritos in Portland for 17 years. I remember when I was in my last year of school coming down for an anti-war protest and trying one of her gems. I was hooked. There are only a few carts in Portland that keep me coming back and Honkin’ Huge Burritos is one of them.
A Honkin’ Huge Burrito features a grilled flour tortilla with refried pinto beans, fresh Spanish rice, cheddar cheese, guacamole, romaine lettuce, tomato salsa, and sour cream/or yogurt. There is usually an additional fresh salsa you can add if you choose. Do you see how simple that is? At first glance, many wonder – where’s the meat? Honestly, you don’t need it. An HH burrito will fill you and your small family up with leftovers. Seriously, I ordered a large once and had it for 3 days. I always order a small and still it is too much and I like to eat!
Thank you Shelly Sandoval and your Honkin’ Huge Burritos for being such a mainstay in downtown Portland this past 17 years. You probably have some great stories. Go check this gem out and support a long time Portland Food Cart.
Menu:
Burrito: Small – $5.75; Medium – $6.25; Honkin’ Huge – $6.75
Hours: Weekdays at lunchtime.

Hey GBF – First huge portions of pasta in cardboard boxes, now burritos as big as my shin?
I have been to Honkin’ Huge (what an apt name) and they are awesome. Fresh ingredients all the way. I don’t miss the meat at all. Thanks for shining some light their way.
Shelly’s has been a mainstay in my life in Portland for all of the 17 years she’s been at it. I quite literally lived on nothing else for a bit in my late teens, and I still enjoy going back once every few weeks for my meatless burrito fix. Shelly herself is a kick, and will make he experience all the better. I realize that this is the first comment on this post in over a year, but I thought it needed to be added.
