Muchos Boracay
Adding spice to the island and fun bursts of palate surprises
Muchos’ Churrasco steak
The Vibe
A SMALL, FAMILY-RUN, LATIN American kitchen and bar, with tables both indoors and right on the beachfront. The interior reflects boho flair with natural rattan pendant lamp shades and chairs, and cheerful comfy cushions. The best time to book a table perhaps is at sunset as Muchos commands some of the best sunset views. The restaurant opened only last March 2022 and is fast becoming an island favourite.
What not to miss on the menu
Bestsellers are Muchos’ tequila, margaritas, and Mezcal-based cocktails. Its mezcal bar is the first of its kind on the island. Tacos and Latin mains are crowd pleasers and so are the Peruvian ceviches and skewers and ultra fresh Latin bowls. Don’t miss the Barbacoa bowl, slow roasted beef with chimichurri sauce and pickled onion and fresh pico de Gallo served with cilantro rice.
The restaurant uses the freshest ingredients, sourced locally, and South American spices to deliver the best Latin flavours, from Peruvian, Bolivian, Spanish to Mexican. The Peruvian ceviches, fresh fish marinated in citrus juices, is an absolute joy. Dishes here are all kinds of fabulous, with the bold hit of citrus and chilli, turning up your senses to max.
Brioche French toast served with homemade custardy dulce de leche, watermelon, banana and cinnamon
Pineapple-coconut popsicle sprinkled with chili flakes
Service here is excellent. Muchos restaurateur couple Patrick and Shria Florencio, who also own Nonie’s and Little Taj in Boracay, says the personal touch sets the restaurant apart.
How much?
A three-course meal without drinks will set you back about Php800–Php900.
