I was hankering for a fish burrito and it had been awhile since I’ve checked out Mucho Burrito so I decided to give this location a try. Previously an aging Mr. Sub location, this Mucho Burrito is a bit small compared to the others but is the perfect size for the area. The dining area has a couple of TV’s that were turned into sports(I guess you can go here for Flames games if all else fails). The menu is well laid out and the choices are easy to understand. What I like about Mucho Burrito is they don’t give you a million different choices. There is enough of a selection to get what you want but not make you standing there trying to Google the items for more info. The lady was nice enough to explain to me they discontinued the fish… :((It’s OK, I went with a mixed pulled pork and beef burrito. I went with a medium and it got me plenty full. I could only finish ¾ of it so I saved it for later. Everything was great and the prices are reasonable(under $ 10). Guacamole was an extra $ 1 and was a bit lack luster as they didn’t give me enough to even taste it. 4-stars, 5-stars if they decided to make guacamole free… It’s like charging for lettuce or tomato at burger joins. Sure avocados are expensive but I’m sure their distributor buys them by the truckloads.

Probably the best run Mucho in the city. They drain the beans in front of you so they are not soaking wet which is really nice. They are not skimpy on the Guac like other locations(Shawnessy). Owner seems to always be there during rush hour and the employees actually look like they are having a good time.

One of the best burritos for a chain restaurant. I highly recommend trying their smother burrito

Yeah, I know it’s a chain… But damn, are those burritos ever mucho!!! This is Americanized Mexican food at it’s best. It’s a high-speed burrito assembly line from start to finish. Pick your size, pick your meat, tell them to put everything on it and yes you want jalepeños. These guys put out burritos like Tim Hortons puts out Double-doubles and they’re so packed full of stuff you get to work out those bulging biceps every time you lift it toward your face. Eveb still, there’s something about them that lets you think that maybe, just maybe you can trick yourself into believe what you are eating is healthy. Afterall, it’s just chicken, rice, and beans, right? And cheese and sour cream, and guac and… It seemed like a few of the toppings they asked if I wanted may have been extra, but I’m not sure which ones because they didn’t say they would be more. The guacamole, probably… I’m sure it says on the menu but I didn’t get much opportunity to read it because the line moved so fast. I’m new! I’m not good at ordering burritos under pressure! I’ll be back again… but next time it will be on the stumble home from a night of drinking.

Stopped in because northbound rush hour traffic on 14th St NW was horrific. Glad I did! My first time, so I tried a small shredded beef burrito with mild salsa, a few jalapeños, and chipotle mayo. Everything was fresh, it’s the best Mexican food I’ve had in a while!

Love it here. The burritos are huge. And the mucho burrito is GIANT! I like the Taco Trio because I don’t feel like I’m going to explode when I’m done eating. Like the first reviewer said, they do like their cilantro so if you’re not a cilantro fan like me, you might not be so happy with your meal.

We have been driving by for about 6 months now. We really should have stopped sooner. The food is great and you can order and get exactly what you want as they build your burrito(taco.etc) right in front of you. If you compare the serving size to cost ratio. I think Taco time is in a lot of trouble. If you want Mexican food that is a step above fast food, this is the place.
