Let's be honest - the real reason to go to Fort Collins is to go to Big City Burrito. I don't remember why I ever thought that was a good place to try food, but it was probably my most frequented establishment in college, and I know I wasn't the only one. This tiny little hole in the wall burrito joint right across from campus always had a line out the door when I was in school, and when I would tell fellow alums whom I didn't even know that I was going back to Fort Collins, they always said "you're going to Big City, right??" It's an institution and a staple and a must-stop whenever I'm in town. Since we had finished a big breakfast that morning and had big dinner plans, dad and I decided to split a burrito {though in all honesty, I could've downed several - they're that good} so we could at least say we experienced Big City. There's no need to look at a menu - I know that I want a potato burrito on jalapeno cheddar tortilla with pico de gallo and ranch dressing {do they even sell anything else??} and I'm pretty sure I never veered from that order in 4 years of college. Once we had our burrito, we drove across the street to the Oval where we had a mini-picnic, enjoying the best burrito in the world on the prettiest stretch of grass I know. It was for sure one of the highlights of my trip, and I will definitely be heading back there anytime I'm in Fort Collins. There really is nothing quite like Big City.
