Mucho Burrito

Place: Mucho Burrito
Address: 921 N 10th St # A Renton, WA 98057

What we ordered:

1) Vegetarian crispy tacos with a side of chips and queso dip- one taco with mild pico de gallo for the toddler, two with spicy salsa for Kiara

 

2) Taco salad in a whole wheat baked tortilla bowl, topped with Tilapia

Presentation:

The tacos/other food look great on simple "burger joint" style tins with checkered wrap. There's also lots of space on the plates to use the "elbows out" technique and really dig in.


Ease of consumption:
So much guacamole was piled on the taco that we scraped most of it off and used it as dip for the chips. The guacamole here is pretty solid, so it was nice to have the guac make the mess, since it had taste. No complaints on that, it is delicious!  The tacos stayed together pretty well, a little smooshing of the contents back into the shell was necessary, but that is to be expected.

Taste and Texture:
Ingredients taste fresh and delicious.  We love that they have cilantro as one of the topping options, it adds an extra dimension to the flavors. (Kiara) The taste here is good. It would be mediocre if it weren't for the slightly quirky hot sauce and option for cilantro to be added straight to their concoctions. At the risk of being slightly nationalistic in the taco arena, I think the taste here, as Kiara mentions about the joint's origins, is Canadian. Very well put together, easy to get around, and just barely satisfying. It's nowhere near knocking my socks off though. Everything is good until you eat it for a few bites, in which case, there's a faint "emptiness." (Chad)


Satisfaction Level an Hour Later:
Still full, no need for a snack!

Options for Kids:
They have kids options, but in this case the toddler ate one mild vegetarian taco and chips with queso.

Hot Sauce:

The sauce here is actually pretty intense. It's way more heat than you would expect from a Canadian taco place. Each hot sauce is far superior to it's Tabasco counterpart: Jalapeno>Green Tabasco, Sweet Heat > Chipotle Tabasco, and Devil's Tongue > Regular Tabasco and is also hotter than Habanero Tabasco. A spot that has its birthplace in Canada just shouldn't have hot sauce this good.

Notes:
Originating in Canada, there are now two US location, both in Washington state, one more location will be opening soon in Southcenter. An Indian family ran this, at least it when it opened, and there was a faint curry taste to everything, which we thought was awesome.  They have a good catering menu, I am hoping to get to use them for a work function some time soon.  No mobile taco trucks though.
