We came for lunch on a Saturday, and the place was pretty empty. Check in for 10% off. We got the burger and the ribs, as there were a lot of raving reviews on these items here. The ribs were pretty good - good char and taste on the meat. The burger was SO good! I really enjoyed it, it was very flavourful and filling. This is likely our fault, but the servers came by our table and asked if we wanted sauces to dip the ribs in which we said yes, but we weren't aware that we were being charged for it until we went to pay. Just be aware that they do charge for their dipping sauce (which I didn't particularly enjoy). read more

Muchachos Grill Canada - Burger and ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Got beef mishkaki. It was supposed to be sirloin, but most of the meat mushy - some even fell off the stick as it was so soft. The taste was ok: sour & spicy (that's the predominant flavour profile of the dishes here). The beef ribs are pretty good though slightly tough (the food's halal). They're slightly sour and slightly spicy. Flame grilled chicken sekela was a pretty big leg+thigh piece. It was rather spicy and quite good - a bit sour but less than the ribs. Peri fries have a wet spice & masala fries have a dry, Indian-African spice. Got the masala fries. They were mostly crispy & had a sour-spicy taste. Mogo (cassava) fries were OK - starchy and not very crispy The salad used cabbage which was a nice change from lettuce. There was not enough dressing though Service is pretty good. read more

Muchachos Grill Canada - Beef mishkaki combo (masala fries & salad) - Barbeque Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

I randomly came across this place on Facebook and a few of my friends had gone here and spoke very highly of the food so I thought I would give it a shot. It's in Richmond Hill but I thought it was worth the track. It's not that often that you come across East African food. First impressions, it's not very easyily visible the signage is pretty small, and its tucked away beside a mechanic shop. The place wasn't very busy at all so I was a little concerned. That being said I thought I would so give it a shot. Here's where the saying don't judge a book by it's cover comes into play. We were greeted by one of the co-owners, Kabir who is very helpful and made great suggestions on what to order. The service is definitely on point. Now to the most important part, the food: We ordered beef mishkaki, chicken mishkaki, beef ribs, chicken wings, cheeseburgers, piri piri fries, and Mogo (we definitely over ordered) Everything came with a side of their special Salim sauce. The ribs were excellent, nicely marinated and very flavorful, mogo crispy and fantastic, chicken mishkaki was tender, well seasoned and marinated (excellent). Cheeseburgers were surprisingly delicious, and they had a special 2 for $10 which was really nice. The chicken wings were very crispy and well flavored, we got the barbecue flavor. The beef mishkaki was good but not outstanding, a little tough unfortunately. I really wanted to try the kebabs but they were all out. Overall I would say that this place is 4 out of 5 stars because of the service and very good food! Prices are reasonable, serving sizes are average, a little smaller than I would have hoped but not bad. Would I go back? Definitely! If you're in the area and you're looking for a delicious African restaurant give this a try! They've just opened up 6 months ago, and are working on their signage so hopefully you'll have an easier time finding it than I did! read more

Great service here! My friend and I found ourselves in the area looking for food and this was it. The hot sauce is IT! Trust meeee, flavourful and spicy and a must try. We had the short ribs and beef skewers and they were perfect. read more

A literal hole in the wall small cramped space but with amazing food, service, and folks who know their stuff and recommend items to you. 1. Sirloin mishkaki - really tender and flavorful and cooked just about right. Came with a side of tangy sauce 2. Cheeseburger - juicy burger with soft insides. 3. peri fries - I feel like the seasoning could have been more but it wasn't bad. 4. Poutine - comes with gravy and cheese curds. Really nice and flavorful. I wanted to try short ribs but they had run out :( Overall I highly recommend. read more

Not the most fanciest places. Quantity was on the skinny side Tasted good, but the sauce marinate is a common one from jars of indian bottles you can buy in most east asian shops Overpriced food for the quantities they pack for you. On the fence if i would really eat here again The pictures speak for themselves... read more

Great menu, restaurant, staff and owner. Some of the best food I've had in a long time! Anyone in town who's hungry should come to Muchachos - you won't regret it! ( would recommend trying the ribs) read more

We had heard about this place through friends and despite having already eaten, still decided to take-out some of our favourite East-African appetizers as a midnight snack. As the previous reviewer mentioned, we too could not see any indication of the restaurant from the street and were wondering if we were in the wrong place. The exterior looks a little run-down, next to a garage/mechanic and another small restaurant. We were there on a Friday night around 10pm and the place was buzzing with more people coming in! They have two rooms for seating, one being the kitchen area where you would order/take away that has about 2 tables and the other being a larger room with many tables. It is simple but clean and cosy. We were greeted by one of the owners himself, Kabir, who was very friendly and hospitable despite us only taking some appetizers to go. We ordered the Meat Samosas, Kababs and Zanzibar Mix which were all packaged very well along with two of their special house sauces! Everything was delicious, the samosa filling was perfect and brought back memories. It would have been even better if the samosa pastry itself was homemade as they had used spring-roll sheets. The kababs were outstanding and went really well with the spicy sauce and tamarind chutney. I feel the Zanzibar Mix could have been better as it lacked some flavour and it was mainly sauce with not much fillings/toppings. Overall, great unique new addition to Richmond Hill - a cuisine worth trying out! Prices were a little steep considering portion-sizes are on the smaller side but delicious flavours and top service! Will definitely be back to try their famous Burgers, Ribs & Mishkaki when again in Toronto! read more

I've tried the mishkaki, short ribs, round kebabs and samosas and have enjoyed it all. The owner is really friendly and makes everyone feel welcome, I feel his staff need to learn hospitality from the owner who has set the bar high. read more

Recently opened, the management invited me to try their menu selections. Intrigued by the menu, I ordered their Chicken Mishkaki, Jamaican Muchaichan Burger, and Ribs, and these options surpassed my expectations. At first, Muchachos Grill is a small location where the kitchen and dinning area are in the same room. But their culinary creations are indescribable. Their combination of sauces provided an excellent start to my Saturday afternoon. Their Mishkaki (East African dish) provided a refreshing experience compared to my daily life of kababs and burgers. Finally, their RIBS. O.M.G. Their ribs were some of the best I have had in Canada. Their East African sauce made this creation absolutely delectable. If you are around the area, I would certainly recommend a pit stop to try the ribs and burgers. read more

Ordered ribs from Muchachos, they've got a Thursday special, 12.99 for ribs, peri fries and a drink. The ribs were really tender and tasty. I asked for hot sauce on the side which added a nice kick to them. I enjoyed my dinner, and I will definitely go back! read more

Loved the food here! Had the beef mishkaki, chicken mishkaki with fries and the kala kebab. Was so good that we got an order to go :) Would come back as the service was really good too. read more

They're food is not worth it at all, the fries were dry and the poutine had very thick dark gravy that I've never seen before. It was not appetizing. read more

Ribs and miskakhi were fresh and delicious. We called ahead and the food was ready when we got there. Kababs and mogho were good. It's a kid friendly environment :) read more

I would put 0 star of this restaurant.Extremely rude, horrible behavior of this owner or whoever in the restaurant. This is the exact same address as U-haul pick up point with different entrance. Calling us 'idiots' when we found wrong door and asked politely about U-haul entrance. Also insulted us about reading ability. Can't imagine how they will do business and provide services with other customers. Not to mention being a potential customer. read more

I had come here with my friend one evening, the staff was extremely welcoming and kind. They gave us complimentary green tea and did not make us wait long for the food. The food was amazing, well cooked and fresh, would definitely recommend the chicken thigh and leg combo or beef ribs! They have plenty of beef options for those who prefer it over chicken. I would definitely come here again! great food and service read more

Had the Ribs and fries combo. Decent food. Little too much on the sauce and spice added on, especially the ribs were drenched in it (personally not my taste). Way too overpriced for the little amount of food you get. But hospitality and service is pretty great. If prices were a lot cheaper I would come back again. read more

Five star!!!!for this place love the ambiance, food and fast service. Uhhhh the masala chips, muhogo, mishkaki and ribs totally gave me the taste of Home :) Will definitely go again to try burgers and kababs!. The owner is definitely a hard worker and friendly. read more

I have ordered from Muchachos a few times thru an app and it has been amazing every time. Their burgers are really good and I don't know how they make something as simple as mango shake taste so good! Highly recommend this spot. read more

I went in with my husband and sister, and we ordered the mishkaki poutine, beef mishkaki plates and mohogo and this place really impressed us in terms of East African cuisine. The owner was very kind and the service is fantastic. The food is extremely fresh and delicious, and the fried Mohogo with chutney is a must try! read more

First time here. Food was AMAZING. Definitely try the tandoori chicken. Beef mishkaki. And ribs. The owner is super friendly and such a welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely be back! read more

Honestly the hot sauce wasn't that good, but like the spicy fries were kool and the burger was nice.

Worst food ever. We ordered takeout - beef kebab (or whatever it is called) and fries. Meat was not fresh - it was obviously heated leftovers and sprinkled with even more spices to mask odour. Fries was also spicy (why would you do that) and even added cabbages from the jar were incredibly spicy and also looked not fresh.. The worst experience ever. I don't understand why this place even gets good reviews. Maybe when you dine in it's different, but takeout sucks. That's weird, because we pay same money! read more
