As some of you might remember, there was a review posted reviewing Mucho Burrito using one of the owner's beyond account.

TomcoPDR wanted to investigate this resuraunt himself, and I was hungry.
The place:
Anyone who has ever been to the strip malls on 130th knows that moving around the parking lot and finding a place to park is just a big pain in the ass. Lucky enough for me, I found a spot close by without too much headache. Once you enter, your eyes are greeted by typical Mexican colours in a very spacious environment. There is salsa music playing just loud enough to know it's there without being annoying. The layout is very similar to subway. If you don't really know what you want, the staff are there to guide you though your choices.
The Staff:
Service is not instantaneous (which does not bother me, but might bother some), but it sure is welcoming and friendly. I am not a big burrito eater, so I was guided though what ingredients I could combine. Really helpful for a first-time go-er!
It was good to see one of the owners working the counter. I like knowing that managment gets involved with the store and can work beside the rest of the staff! He instantly connected with us making sure we got everything we wanted. Even joked around when I made a smart-ass comment about Mountain Dew. He actually seemed interested and was not distantly working (like what you normally find in fast-food joints). Overall, I am impressed with the staff service and morale.
The Food:
Today, I ordered a "medium" burrito on whole wheat, with rice, shredded beef,assorted veggies, mild salsa (I hate spice), and Guacamole with sour cream. I made my meal a combo adding tortilla chips with salsa, and a drink.
I am a big boy (6'2" @ 230lbs) and normally can handle large amounts of food. Believe it or not, the medium burrito filled me up perfectly! The ingredients used tasted very fresh, perfectly balanced, and complimented each other. I was very impressed!
The tortilla chips are worth mentioning as they tasted fresh too! They were definitly not your typical Tostito's. Lightly seasoned, and seemed like they could have possibly been made in-house!
The meal came out to $12.00 each which, considering the amount of food, is not unreasonable.
Results:
I was very satisfied with my food and the staff were pleasant to deal with. Definitely going back!
Place: 3/5
Food: 4.5/5
Staff: 4/5
Overall: 4/5
