I decided to check out Mucho Burrito today for lunch.
It's located down in the same area as Wok Box and Source Adult.
This is the newest restaurant/fast food in town. This is a franchise that has locations in Canada, the United States and other countries over the world.
As you can tell by the name of the franchise this is based around Mexican cuisine. Now I know we have a taco bell (which is the worst) and we also have a taco time (which is almost as bad as taco bell) so it's nice to see a place that boasts fresh daily salsas and other fresh ingredients.
At 1pm this place was pretty busy, there was a line up of about 8 people ahead of us. I'm trying to figure out if it's busy because it's new of if it's busy because of the food. The people working the counter were polite, quick and friendly. This is something I haven't seen in a fast food place in a long time. With the 8 people ahead of us it didn't take too long for me to place my order. I got a Burrito. Yeah I know.. real original. I had rice and vegetables and I could have had beans, and then for your protein your options are sausage, steak, chicken, some sort of fish. I went with the chicken. Now for salsa (WHICH IS FRESH!) I had a corn based salsa with some hot salsa thrown in. Add some cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro, jalapenos and BOOM you got yourself lunch baby.
For 12 dollars I had this burrito and a bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper. Now I need to say Guacamole is an extra dollar but it's worth it. So much flavour, heat, and freshness in this meal.
The service was quick, the place was clean, the food is great. It's worth more than you'd pay at McDonald's and is there any other fast food place in town boasting fresh?
Check this place out I highly recommend it. I only hope that this place continues to stay busy and doesn't lose customers as it becomes part of the Fort McMurray foodsphere.
I love Mucho but I just want to give Taco Time some props too. I used to work there and pretty much everything is made fresh everyday (except the hot sauces). We made the salsa, rice, taco shells, beans, meat, the deep fried burrito things and we had to cut up the veggies for everyday. Now this was like 8 yrs ago so I don't know if it's the same. If it is like then, they don't advertise it enough!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I wasn't aware of Taco Time's freshness ways. I haven't eaten there in a long time and I shouldn't lump it into the generic food of taco bell. You do have a point to, if it's fresh, they should be doing more to promote that.
