Momocho - Cleveland

Look… Maybe it’s the best “Mexican” place I’ve ever visited! Extremely friendly staff, especial thanks to Justin! And the Trout… It’s something from another word!!!

Tequila Tuesday's offers a tantalizing menu of tacos and other Modern Mexican dishes that are packed with flavor and perfection on a plate. The restaurant's eclectic and fun interior features a collection of Mexican wrestling masks on display, making it a must-stop for fans of Mod Mex. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are clearly marked on the menu, and the restaurant is kid-friendly with plenty of interesting things to look at, especially for fans of wrestling masks. Lunchtime or early dinner would be ideal for families, while the bar patio is better suited for adults looking for a lively night out. Can't wait to return for some enchiladas and to pick up some Momocho swag!

The goat cheese guacamole was excellent. I will definitely be returning for more delicious food.

The margarita flights are incredible, and you have to try the fried ice cream!

This place is amazing! We visited two days after they reopened following the COVID closure and were warmly greeted by the owner/chef as soon as we were seated. He took the time to chat with us and even gave us some recipe cards of their popular dishes to take home, which was a nice touch. We tried a margarita flight with three flavors - spicy mango, pineapple, and blood orange - and loved them all, especially the spicy mango. For starters, we had chips with tomato-chile habanero pico de gallo, which was not too spicy but still delicious. For our main dishes, we shared the machaca taquitos, made with coffee chile ancho braised beef brisket, and the tamale frito, a deconstructed tamale with citrus adobo braised pork. Both dishes were outstanding, with the braised beef being a stand out. The tamale frito was a unique take on the traditional tamale and we loved every bite. The flavors were amazing and we can't wait to go back for more. This restaurant quickly became one of our favorites after just one visit!
