Mochachos Roper Street

OLA AMIGOS!

For the past 20 years, Mochachos has become a household brand name loved by the most discerning customers. Known for our dry spiced, flame grilled Mexican chicken, oversized chicken burgers and flavoursome Mexican meals which include an array of chicken or rump steak dishes such as Burritos, Enchiladas, Fajitas and Chimichangas. Our inspiration came from the demand from the consumer for “exotic” and healthy dining. We say ‘Spicy but Not Hot’ and offer a variety of flavours to choose… Lemon and Herb, Mild, Hot, Extra Hot and Dynamite.. Mochachos chicken provides a well-balanced meal that’s lower in fat and high in protein, without compromising on taste. In fact, it’s for the taste-experience that Mochachos is most famous! Taste the Fiesta and Enjoy!

OUR STORY

Mochachos opened its first store in 1994 in Pretoria. At the time it was known as Mochachos Steak Villages. This store was one of the first outlets in South Africa to offer Mexican Dishes.

The Mochachos Chicken Villages concept is based on “Mexican Flavoured Flame Grilled Chicken” combined with a specialised Mexican Foods menu. The motivating factor for this choice was the demand for consumers for “exotic” and healthy dining.

The design and decor of the restaurants take advantage of the rich colours of Mexico which are blended into a warm and inviting ambience and provide customers with a “real” food experience.

Store designs are funky and modern and create the perfect ambience for fun and comfortable dining.
Care has been taken to ensure that the cooking process is as healthy as possible by using dry herbs and spices.

Mochachos is not just about chicken. It’s never been just about chicken. It’s about pride, passion, courage, integrity and most of all, family.

Mochachos Franchises can now be found in Botswana, Zambia, Mauritius and Australia. The Mochachos fast-casual dining concept is unique and creates an equally distinctive customer experience.

The brand’s core product is Flame-grilled Mexican Spiced Chicken and are famous for their flavoursome Chicken Burgers, however, the menu also involves a range of delicious and nutritious Burgers, Schwarmas and various Mexican meals including the Buritto, Fajita and Chimichangas.

FOR THE LOVE OF FAMILY

Mochachos customers aren’t just customers, you’re part of our family. And because you’re family, we don’t just feed you, we nourish you. As our grandmother used to say, “Empty calories equal empty hearts.” And our hearts are full.

So we jam-pack our food with nutritional value and scrumptious taste.

That’s what we call love.

TOO GOOD TO BE THIS HEALTHY

Like the first sip of an ice-cold beer on a hot day, or the smell of fresh bread just out of the oven, Mochachos spiced flame-grilled chicken is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Unlike some pleasures, (devouring chocolate, cake or even, chocolate cake) Mochachos is guilt-free. That’s because a Mochachos feast provides a well-balanced nutritious meal that’s lower in fat and high in protein. All without compromising on taste.

HOW DO WE DO IT?

In two words: quality preparation.

First, we pick the finest chickens. Only premium chickens are selected to become Mochachos chickens. (That’s right, even our chickens prescribe to a healthy lifestyle!) Next we trim the excess fat and infuse our chickens in our all secret, all natural recipe.
Mochachos chickens are never fried but grilled right down to the bone on an open flame. And because they’re butterfly-cut, our chickens are browned evenly and the flame grill burns off even more fat. This preparation method ensures a reduced fat and lower cholesterol meal. Ay-caramba!

For the best-selling chicken burgers in town, we only ever use chicken breast fillet because life is too short for processed meat.

When it comes to our assortment of Mexican and Schwarma meals, we take no short cuts. Strips of premium rump steak are marinated, vacuum-packed and matured for a minimum of two weeks before we slap them on the grill. You’ll also be pleased to know that all our beef burger dishes are made from 100% pure beef.

Your choice of flavour (lemon & herb, mild, hot, extra hot, or dynamite) is added during the grilling process. The fire brings out the natural oomph of the spices and the mouth-watering om nom nom of the meat.

REAL FOOD, REAL HEALTH

While we can’t reveal our exact secret recipe, we can reveal that it’s made from 100% natural ingredients that are also completely vegetarian. If we can’t pronounce the ingredient, we don’t use it. And if we wouldn’t feed it to our family, we won’t feed it to yours.

On the topic of secrets, you’ll love this one. The main ingredient in our Mild, Hot, Extra Hot & Dynamite spices is the chilli. Chillies are a rich source of Vitamin A and C; they help lower cholesterol and are full of antioxidant properties. Plus! They’re hot. Just the way we like it.

EATING WELL IS SIMPLE

Our skinless Mochachos chicken is a healthful alternative with all the flavour of our regular chicken.

If you’re counting calories, replace our regular chips with rice or salad for a meal that packs a punch but also leaves room for dessert. (Shhh, we won’t tell if you don’t.) Our vegetables and salads are chopped daily and are made fresh to order just like at home.

Open sesame! Our sesame seed covered bread rolls are not only served fresh but that extra crunch you hear as you bite into it will remind you of all its nutritional value. This tiny seed bursts with magnesium, calcium, iron, fibre and vitamin B.
