Martinez Mexican Bar & Grill

Super GemBridgeport · Mexican Community-sourced, unverified
📍 3301 S Morgan St, Chicago, IL 60608

Martinez Mexican Bar & Grill runs out of the same Bridgeport building as Rudy Martinez's grocery store, Martinez Supermarket -- half market, half restaurant, and now, as of a recent addition, half bar too.

The thing to order is the Big Baby Burrito: nearly two feet long, about seven pounds, packed with skirt steak, beans, cheese, and the works, rolled and folded like a swaddled newborn, which is where the name comes from. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to make when the kitchen isn't slammed, and one reviewer's teenage betting-buddy famously couldn't finish it for $50. The menu goes deeper too, with real menudo and posole for anyone not there for the burrito stunt.

Now that the bar's open, there's a full margarita menu to go with it, including a lychee-tequila cocktail literally named after a local food-Instagram account that couldn't stop posting about the place. Google reviewers keep it at a steady 4.4, and the staff get singled out almost as often as the food -- the kind of place where you start to feel like a regular by your second visit. No happy hour or standing discount to report, but the burrito alone is built to be split three ways, which functions like one anyway.

💡 Worth Knowing

  • the 'baby burrito' is anything but small — one review describes a teenager betting $50 he could finish it (he couldn't).
