Mucho Burrito

I live minutes away from Mucho Burrito but if I didn’t I would choose Costa Vida every time. I usually drive out of my way to go there as it is. Why? Because Mucho Burrito will either give you zero bell peppers or one entire raw pepper in your burrito. They never cut the peppers well, it’s honestly just a huge mouthful of peppers unless you ask for none at all.
Otherwise, the food is decent if you like Mexican, and I love it. The drinks are overpriced, and the deserts take 10 minutes, but really the main issue is that they absolutely never slice the peppers small enough.

I’m not a big fan of «Mexican» or «Tex Mex» fast food honestly. The thought of Taco Bell makes my stomach turn, as I tried it once and was so grossed out, I vowed never to eat there again. But, Mucho Burrito has changed my perspective.
First off, the burritos are huge! I always get just a small because they’re so filling (though I’ve had days where I’ve polished off a medium burrito!) They give you a variety of choices for fillings. Lots of different meat choices, as well as a few choices on the beans. I love that they have stir-​fried vegetables as an option, so it’s not all raw veggies going into your burrito. I also like the variety of different salsas. I tried the medium, and it was spiiiicy. Which is great, as I am a lover of spicy food. It’s a bit more expensive, but seems like these days most fast food is expensive. Mucho Burrito is great value for the price.
I have also noticed they have Dos Equis if you have your meal to stay. Burritos and beer are a great combination! This is fast food that is worth trying.

Decent food, reason for three stars is being that they are small portions for what you pay, bought chips and salsa… what a joke like 3 table spoons of salsa comes with it lol… usually salsa shouldn’t be a big deal but to mucho burrito its a luxury lol… too much micro managing when I wanted more salsa to finish the rest of my micromanaged bag of chips they charged me for another 3 table spoons !.Money is not the issue its the principal… I understand running a food business is not cheap but come on Mucho salsa??? Really??? Its really cheap to make… plus doesn’t hurt to make salsa portions bigger… Never Again!
Sorry just being honest.

I love this place! When I have a hankering for the best burrito in town, Mucho Burrito is the only place I go. I usually have a regular barbacoa (shredded beef) burrito with brown rice, black beans, sautéed veggies and lots of extra cilantro on a whole wheat tortilla… YUM! I’ve been here several times and I’m never disappointed.

Don’t put on Unilocal that you have delivery and then deny it when customers call.

I had the chance to try out Mucho Burrito for lunch the other day, and was very happy!
Now that I’m working in the boonies, I’m trying to discover all kinds of new, tasty and affordable places to eat at. This one hit a home run for me!
I had two tacos. One with shredded beef with the hot salsa, and one with crusted tilapia with guacamole… Both were delicious! I wish they used two little tortilla shells instead of one because the salsa was making the shell soggy, but its okay. For good quality flavourful tacos, I will forgive! Once I was done my two tacos, I started regretting not getting more.
My coworkers had a burrito and a quesadilla, and both seemed to enjoy it!
The service was friendly and quick, and the place was not packed. Definitely a great place to go for tacos if you’re in the deep South!

So yummy! So fresh! Made to order right before your eyes! Lowe the place

My first Unilocal review. On a business trip in the Calgary area and came across this place. Enjoyed this the food very much. I got the muchoXL burrito twice. Both were very good and had a good portion of meat which is what I like in a burrito. Being from the US I would compare to Chipotle, Mission Burrito, or Free Birds in case you are familiar with those places.
Pros — good portions and great tasting.
Cons — a bit pricey when compared to the US equivalents but I am guessing a fair price for the locals. Also on my first visit (about 4pm on a Sunday) they were running out of Carne Asada and a few other items.
I will plan on making it a regular stop when I am in town.

Based on previous reviews, I stopped in Friday after work.
Roughly 6:30, there was a pretty good lineup to order — which speaks to the popularity of the food. And the food WAS smelling great, so by the time I made it to the front of the line, I was eager to get it on!
I ordered a 12″ buritto — the medium size, which was plenty — and 4 tacos (no, it wasn’t all for me!).
Good stuff!
Service was friendly and efficient. I’m guessing the guy who took my order is also the owner, as he was running the show and clearly hands on. Though the restaurant was quite busy, he still took the time to patiently walk each «first timer» through the options and process.
All the ingredients were very fresh. Veggies were being stir fried on the stove, and beef hand sliced, as the diners made their way down the counter.
The meat burrito choices included shredded chicken or beef, tilapia, chorizo, and sliced beef. I went shredded beef, but I plan on trying all of these eventually!
Fresh green and red salsas, from pico de gallo to hot, looked great. I went for the optional $ 1.00 shot of Guac. to compliment my choices of rice, black beans, veggies, hot salsa, cheese, sour cream, and diced jalapenos. Cilantro was optional, which I appreciated. I’m not a big fan, so It’s nice to be able to skip it.
The burrito was overall delicious, and satisfying. But I almost wished I had ordered the XL size to prolong the experience.
On this trip, I was getting my food to go – but I would definitely eat in sometime. The large booths and general atmosphere of this place made it more inviting than I expected.

I checked this out based on the good reviews. First impressions were good, walked in and heard the latin beat in the parking lot… they pump the music outside so the experience starts before you even get inside. Once inside I was suprised at the size of the place. even more suprised at the nice booths that they had… usually restaurants like this jam in all the tables they can… here it was relaxed and spacious. I ordered 2 vegetarian tacos and a side of chips and cheese.
They have a lot to choose from whether you go strictly veggie (like me) or choose the meat options.
My tacos consisted of beans, cheese, peppers, guac, sour cream, lettuce, cilantro, med salsa, and burrito sauce.
Everything was fresh, fresh fresh, and what I like best about Mexican food, the bright snappy flavours. However they were a MESS to eat, which would have been ok if they were wrapped for eating, but they werent they were just sitting on a paper liner in the middle of a large metal tray.
A mess to eat, but still delicious… next time I may ask for them to wrap them or something.
The Nacho chips were ok… not warm or anything… but ok. The queso sauce was FANTASTIC, delicious cheese with bit of tomato in it… truly delicious.
The statf were friendly, food delicious, and atmosphere cool. I will go back. Oh yah, and plenty of parking too.
:)

Such a relief to find this place! It’s not quite as good as Chipotle, but for the range of Mexican available in Calgary, it’s outstanding. It’s fresh and tasty. Not too expensive and so it’s a nice lunch & well worth the drive. I have to say, though, that the salsa & hot sauce selection was kind of gringo-​style. Not like chipotle is THAT authentic, but hey. I’m allowed a gripe or two.

This truly is as good as it gets! Let me just say, from a girl yearning for her second home in Trujillo Peru, this place is fabulous. There is something about an open air patio in Latin America that makes you relax, and Mucho Burrito brings it here to Calgary.
You walk in and know, just KNOW that the food will be fabulous. The restaurant itself is welcoming in a casual ‘no pressure’ way that makes you feel like you want to sit with some friends and really visit. The staff are friendly (but not awkwardly rehearsed) and explained the process of ordering to me. They have an open kitchen area and like at Subway, you have the opportunity to choose which toppings/​veggis you want. FYI the taco salads are divine, and the veggi option is under $ 8 with tax! The best part about going to Mucho Burrito is the Dos Equis that you can enjoy with your meal. I don’t often drink beer, but when I do…
Authentico!

I’m not even remotely concerned about going out on a limb when I say that this place makes THE best burrito in town. Fer rizzle.
First of all, I love that there are ONLY two Mucho Burritos in all of Calgary. It ensures you don’t take this place for granted.
From the parking lot you can hear the Latino beats beckoning your name. It took a total of 5 seconds for me to cave and decide I was going to have an entire burrito… as a ‘snack’.
You walk in, and the place is spacious and welcoming. All the customers have happy looks on their faces and it’s clear why: they are eating THE best burritos in Calgary. Wouldn’t YOU be a happy camper?
For all you Americans, picture Chipotle. For all your Canadians, picture Subway (burrito-​style).
I get to the front and place my order. I basically meet the entire staff through the customization of my burrito.
The staff is friendly, the ingredients are fresh, and my burrito is DE-​LISH.
If you’re not a burrito hound like me, then they’ve got Quesadillas, gourmet tacos, nachos, salad bowls and Pequenitos (petite sized servings for you amateur eaters).
I LOVED the ambiance, I LOVED the music and I LOVED my meal.
You wanna get in my good books? Take me on a date at Mucho Burrito. I may be a cheap date (burrito — $ 4.99!), but I ain’t cheap. Nothing but the best for this mamita.

Just opened. The place is clean and the staff is pretty friendly. Food is pretty good for this type of restaurant and the prices aren’t horrible either!
