I've always enjoyed mucho burrito but have add a few experiences that made me less eager to return. This time was nothing like any of those times. The staff on duty today were amazingly helpful. I have to avoid garlic as much as possible because my stomach doesn't like it -- my taste buds do but Not my belly-- my husband asked them if there was I marinate meat and I said I need to avoid garlic. They didn't haste or question it, they checked ALL the ingredients without me asking, they cooked up shrimp with lime and oil no garlic and one fresh veggies without any sauce. It was all still SO delicious too, which is hard to get since us North American don't even know it's in literally almost everything! I had no idea until I started negatively reacting to it. Anyways, they were so awesome and I didn't feel embarrassed as I normally would. read more

Maybe they were having a one off day, but I didn't find the food that great. My rice was a little hard, the sauce was salty, and they ran out of cheese during lunchtime! There was no line up when I went on customer appreciation day and the tables were mostly empty so I wonder how fresh the ingredients were. The concept is pretty much like a Chipotle! read more

Mucho Burrito Fresh Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

They forgot to mix my burrito, making it less pleasant to the my tastebuds. While making it they tore a hole in the tortilla. In general they went light on the toppings. The restaurant had a very long waiting line and the seats had rips in them. read more

Used to be my favourite fast food place until I was served steak, that was not fresh, spoiled taste felt through vinegar and cumin. Nice try, Mucho Burrito! If meat is spoiled, nothing will mask it, even cumin. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. :) read more

My first Yelp 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. read more

Last time we went, my friend got ill afterward. When I went yesterday, I came down with food poisoning. The food looked like it had been sitting for a while. They only had crumbs left of the tilapia and asked me to pick a different kind. I thought I'd be safe with pork. Here's hoping that this is just a mild case of food poisoning. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I live minutes away from Mucho Burrito but I usually just drive across the city to Costa Vida instead. Why? Because Mucho Burrito will either give you zero bell peppers or one entire raw pepper in your burrito. They cut bell peppers in half instead of slicing them, it's honestly just a huge mouthful of peppers so always ask for no peppers. 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. read more

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. read more

Amazing Mexican food!! We are from Arizona and this place hit the spot on our trip to Calgary. The hot sauce was amazing!! The burritos were delicious and I liked that you can pick your size of burrito. The guacamole was a must have your burrito. Super good!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

I am surprised at the poor reviews for Much Burrito! The food is very tasty and moderately priced. Much better than all those cheap taco places. read more

Good food, over priced for what you get. Paid for extra cheese and they gave me about 10 shreds of cheese. Extremely unimpressed.

They catered my wedding in Bow Valley Campground and it was the absolute best catering experience. The guests loved building their own tacos, the food was delicious, but most of all, Anjani went above and beyond to make it a wonderful experience. Thank you for making this such a seamless part of our perfect day. read more

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

Couldn't believe how big the mucho size burrito was. Good flavour. Super fast in and out if you're in a hurry. We had the chorizo. Can't wait to try the others. read more

Healthy, fresh fast food, vegetarian friendly. Finally.

The food is good (as with all Mucho Burritos) but this location is skimpy on all of the toppings including meat and cheese. Go to 130th instead! read more
