Mucho Burrito - Calgary

Decent standard fare that pleases the palate, is fairly nutritious, and offers enough choices to keep the lunch crowd coming back. I'd actually give it 3.5! Mucho Burrito is quite good even though it's not my go-to style fastfood fare, unless it's Topanga in Vancouver. The size of their wraps are large, and might be good for two or left over for an evening snack. But it's a better fast-food resto than most of its kind, and easily outstrips the likes of Subway that's now known to have questionably-nutritious mystery meat.

For the price, quality and freshness, this is a real deal. Not like those pre-made ones at Wendy's but probably an unfair comparison. You can get as much as you want so I asked for no beans and more avocado ; the churros isn't the best I've had but the caramel dip makes up for it, and way way too much, look at how much I've got left over. Smaller location.

Recently opened at the old Second Cup location, the Grand Opening is 8 December 2012 with half-price burritos. Apparently the medium burrito is about 7 long, 3 wide, and 1.5 thick. The beef burrito came with salsa and sour cream and lots of veggies and rice. They serve Pepsi products and Mexican beers. The service line moves right to left, opposite of what I am used to. Maybe it's Canadian? The store is a lot brighter than when Second Cup resided here and more open with the obvious Mexican music playing in the background. A nice addition to the Mission/Rideau Park area and open to 10:00pm most nights.

I really like their crowfoot location . This one is very stingy with their portions, to the extent that I got a half-size burrito compared to other locations. They also insist on serving only two sauces and apparently lettuce is not a part of the burrito anywhere. Taste is bland. Staff acts as if they are doing a favour or giving the burrito for free. Sadly, there are limited options for reasonably priced food in the area, which is why this business is still surviving.

I love Mucho Burrito for its freshness and food you can see made in front of you. I like getting a healthy meal on the move. I had not been to this location before but was in the area and needed a light meal for lunch. For $2.99 you can get a hell of a little bowl of chicken tortilla soup, loaded (yummy chicken . It does not look pretty when served as the broth is full of sour cream, guac and cheese but is well seasoned and packs a punch (if you add a little hot sauce, especially! Of course I added the killer hot sauce and needed 100 napkins and all the Kleenex my purse held! Haha! Service at first was... absent really. Then they all came out of the back at once after a couple of minutes (2pm and we were off to the races. I sat at a high top by the window and watched the world of Mission go by to Mexican cha cha tunes . Great value here. Oh, and get the chips on the side with the soup I am convinced that you will get more this way instead of on top of the small soup and they are SO good!
