| - 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.
