Big Ten Burrito Menu
  
Big Ten Burrito is by far one of my favorite restaurants in Ann Arbor to get delicious, yet fast take out.  BTB (as the locals call ) has two locations in Ann Arbor, BTB on State Street and the BTB Cantina  on South University.  Both locations serve the same delicious food, but the Cantina has a lot more seating and serves alcohol.  I chose to visit the State Street location for this review.

Big Ten Burrito is the place to go when you want something filling and only have a few bucks in your pocket.  The space is small, but the food comes out fast and freshly made.  In my opinion it is a healthier, inexpensive alternative to fast food.  The menu is large serving burritos, chimichangas, quesadillas, tacos, burrito bowls, nachos, and salads.  They also have a huge choice of delicious fillings including vegetarian, roasted veggie, grilled chicken, shredded chicken, ground beef, and steak.  When it comes to the burritos and chimichangas there is a choice between regular, delux, and giant.  The regular size uses one huge flour tortilla making a massive burrito, giant uses two of these tortillas making a burrito big enough for two, and deluxe adds sour cream and guacamole on the side.  The best thing about BTB's menu is that the price you see on the menu is the price you pay.  They have factored the tax into each menu item making it a great option when you only have a few bucks in your pocket.
Grilled Chicken Chimichanga Deluxe $8.00

My absolute favorite item on BTB's menu is the deep fried goodness known as the grilled chicken chimichanga deluxe.  They start with a huge flour tortilla and fill it with pinto beans, rice, cheese, salsa, and grilled chicken, wrap it up tightly and pop it in the deep fryer until it is a light crispy golden brown.  Once it comes out of the fryer it is served with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and more cheese on the side.
Grilled Chicken Chimichanga Delux $8.00
I have been visiting BTB for years and I have to say I have yet to be disappointed.  The food is always consistently delicious.  The prices are unbeatable, and with their hours keeping them open till 4am they are the perfect option for the late night studiers as well as those looking for a snack after the bars close.
