Mucho Burrito

Food is a hit or miss for me here. Either enjoy it completely or it makes me violently ill. Tonight it was good but I wish they were less skimpy on the red peppers and red onions. They plop a spoonful on but it’s always all green pepper. Only complaint so far this time :)

Been to this location several times.
They are often out of shrimp, or fish as previous reviews have mentioned.
And the staff is EXTREMELY reluctant to make you fresh. Usually saying «please just choose another meat».
The tables are often cluttered with trays/​napkins/​garbage.
Staff are polite enough and service is usually pretty quick.
BIGGEST PROBLEM though — they are not practicing safe food handling guidelines.
Not sure if it’s the chaffing dishes, or the employees not washing hands, or maybe the refrigerators are not cold enough — but I’ve been 3 times over a period of a couple of months and I ALWAYS get mild-​moderate food poisoning.
First two times were just «the trots».
But last Saturday I went and was VIOLENTLY ill, from both ends.
I did not have the flu, as anyone with a brain knows there is no such thing as «a 24 hour bug». Food poisoning plain and simple.
First two times I wasn’t sure it was the Burrito but this last Saturday there is no doubt as I hadn’t eaten anything else that day, and the previous day had only been fully cooked mild food from home.
I’ve contacted management, I eventually got a response of «since you weren’t diagnosed by a doctor — it’s probably just allergies».
VERY UNIMPRESSED.
I WILL NEVER set foot in this location again, and will likely never return to a mucho burrito period.

Oh burritos I love you!
Mucho is awesome — It is definitely like a Subway for Mexican food but a million times better!
The food is great, the staff are always friendly, service can get slow when they’re busy but its worth the wait :)

Great, super healthy, fresh alternative to Subway and a way better feeling when you’re done than fast food.
Taco Trio is a favorite in our household, but for myself I generally get the Burrito. I first began filling up on them when I was working 16 hour days in Fort McMurray. Now I share them with one of my kids as there’s so much I’ll end up with leftovers if I don’t.

Food was good but have been to better locations. Maybe it was just after a rush or they were short staffed but the restaurant was very dirty, there wasn’t one clean table and the garbage was overflowing onto the floor. The staff were disorganized and they were running low/​were completely out of a lot of items. Certainly won’t be back to this location but not ruling out the chain itself.

Mucho Burrito is always delicious, but this visit was especially memorable. The fellow helping us was named Sunny and he bent over backwards to give us great service with a great sense of humor. I don’t think I’ve experienced such good service at a restaurant like this before. I’ll definitely be back!

Love the taco trio. Always fresh and tasty! Never have a problem with the service although I am a patient person.

Generally good. I would stick with their tacos unless you are really hungry. Then get a small burrito.

Imagine Subway made awesome burritos instead. You start with either whole wheat or white flour burrito wraps in a variety of sizes. Pick either white or Mexican rice, then brown or black beans. There’s some fried vegetables, and a variety of meats. I suppose there’s some cheeses to pick from, but I went with none-​of-​the-​above. Salsa, hot sauces, a corn salad, cilantro, and then wrap it all up and grill it. I’m sure I missed half the ingredients they offer.
Even with a lineup on a Friday evening service was quick and the resulting burrito was awesome.

Went in there for a fish burrito. Don’t eat meat, buddy tells me there is not enough fish for a burrito and doesn’t offer to make any… tells me to pick a different meat. I told him I don’t eat meat and it was awkward as he just stared at me. So I said, I guess I will go then. Not returning.

Mucho burrito has delicious burritos. There are lots of things to put on them and you can choose the size and everything. They make it pretty fast and also offer nice drinks. They are not overpriced at all and I go there a lot.

Great food for a good price! And… awesome portion sizes!

Ghost Pepper Burrito!!!
When Mike and I first heard the Mucho Burrito ads for the Ghost Pepper Burrito, he was excited and I was skeptical. There are a lot of fast food places laying claim to some sort of flame-​throwing super-​spicy feature item that ends up having the heat of watered down frank’s hot sauce. Lame.
Well, Mucho Burrito proved me wrong. Mike LOVES spicy food, and he declared the Ghost Pepper Burrito (Hotter than Hell version) a great success, with a perfect level of spice. It was made with actual Bhut Jolokia Ghost Peppers, which clock in at 1 million scoville units. I couldn’t eat it, but I’m a wimp like that. One of his co-​workers fought through tears to finish it. There was a «wimpy» version, but I opted to try the tacos instead. The pork carnitas meat was an excellent choice, and the my chicken taco was also well-​seasoned. Mucho Burrito certainly isn’t an authentic hole-​in-​the-​wall mexican joint, but for a fast food franchise they put out some decent food. Plus they are licenced, so you can enjoy a Dos Equis or a Tecate with your burrito.
Apparently the Ghost Pepper Burrito was a promotional item which ended on Halloween, so hopefully they bring it back again soon.
Review #4 of Unilocal’s 30 Day Challenge 2012

I tried Mucho Burrito for the first time on Friday and I was pleasantly surprised! I’d seen it before in the Suncor building where I used to work, but was always a little intimidated by the menu and I had no idea what to order. I then noticed that they opened a location in Crowfoot, and gave it a try for lunch. WOW!!! I ordered 3 tacos, 2 beef and 1 steak. They were excellent! I love the different condiments such as a variety of salsa and guac. Very flavorful and VERY good quality for a quick serve restaurant. The portions are a good size and everything tastes fresh. It’s a bit more expensive than you’re average Mexican place (think Taco Bell) but MUCH better, and better for you! We saw them cutting up the fresh steak for my tacos and I was hooked. Not to mention they serve beer here! I love how clean & modern the inside of the restaurant is. I left SO satisfied, and I cant wait to go back. I’ve found my new favourite lunch spot!

I just ate the best burrito I’ve ever had according to recent memory. I’m picky when it comes to eating beef and don’t often take a chance, but their marinated, slow cooked and shredded beef is top notch for fast food as far as I’m concerned. It’s flavorful and yet doesn’t overpower the other delicious ingredients such as the cilantro lime rice or the sauteed peppers and onions. I was hungry and even though the size small 10″ burrito I ordered felt like a brick, I managed to eat the entire thing, mostly because I couldn’t stop.
This place is nicely decorated and was very clean. They were non-​stop busy too. I was happy to see a few larger tables and benches, as I met a client here and we had lots of room to spread out paperwork, etc. The traditional Mexican music they were playing made me feel like I should be sitting on a beach with a Corona.
I won’t need to eat for many hours as my meal was hearty, but the lingering smell of Much Burrito in my hair will have me daydreaming of more Barbacoa.

Love that Mucho Burrito has opened in Crowfoot!
I love their slowly marinated beef burrito! Everything is so tasty and good here especially for people who want to watch what they eat — wholewheat tortilla, different types of heatness of salsa, different condiments to put in their burrito.
I always walk away with a Beef burrito with wholewheat tortilla, no rice, gauacamole, burrito suace and the hottest salsa they have plus jalapenos and cilantro! It’s never too spicy for me! Guac is 50cents more.
