I placed an order on uber eats and it arrived damaged l asked the driver to take it back because the lunchbox was opened he took the food and put it as delivered on his application. I had to call mochachos karaglen and they replaced my food and driver and even sent their own driver. I appreciate the manager she helped and her service was superb definitely buying again

Lovely little Mochachos branch in Edenglen. Food was served hot and fresh. Friendly service. The Chimichunga is something you have to try. It's a sort of pie, but not pastry, it's actually bread or dough. It was filled with tender chicken pieces and cheese, served with sour cream and avo. Will be back for this, best eaten at the restaurant.

The food is absolutely absolutely incredible! We ordered the chicken shawarma and it was to die for! The service was fast and staff was attentive. If you're going there during cold weather, do wear a bit warm because it's a bit chilly. It was overall an incredible experience.
