I dropped by Mucho Burrito at FCP Friday afternoon hunting for lunch. Having just eaten at two other burrito shops in the last month, I thought it'd be a good opportunity to compare.
The lineup was steady but not spectacularly busy. You wouldn't know it from the service though. The woman making my burrito was moving like her hair was on fire, and I don't mean that in a good way. Fast, but uncontrolled movements resulted in my fish being broken into pieces while being removed from the tray, then flung all over the tortilla before being smashed back together with the other toppings. The beans were quickly scooped on without giving the liquid a chance to drain through the slotted spoon. Even well constructed burritos can be a challenge to eat at times. I don't need a wet mess contributing to this.
Being the cautious sort, I ordered mine with a medium sauce, figuring that combined with the chipotle crust on the tilapia, there should be enough fire. Nope. I sensed zero hotness, the cheese was undetectable, and the burrito on the whole was bland. Guacamole is an extra $1.
I realize that Mucho Burrito is a food court chain and perhaps not much should be expected. But given its location in the downtown core, there are several comparable alternatives in the area which deliver vastly superior burritos.
