Momocho

Simply excellent.Visiting from out of town and stopped here due to the reviews. They were correct.Sat at the bar and Charolette was an excellent server.For was excellent.Not your typical Mexican menu, higher end.

This was such a fun date night spot! Could be casual or upscale casual, no pressure! The food was delicious, I loved the mole sauce on the flautas, we asked for more! And we are hot sauce lovers and the momocho hot sauce did not miss, it was delicious on the remolacha taquitos and on the chips and salsa. Doe drinks, we enjoyed the Oaxacan old fashioned, mezcal sour, killer bee and margarita flight, all very well balanced. Highly recommend next time you're in Ohio City!

Love margaritas? Love guacamole? Love Momocho! Momocho is the place to go if you are looking for a modern take on Mexican, a flight of margaritas, or a flight of guacamole. Yes, I said a flight of guacamole. Try it. Trust me. My friend and I sat at the bar, which is full service. I had a flight of margaritas and chose the blood orange, hibiscus, and pomegranate. For our flight of guacamole, we tried the goat cheese, the crab, and the peppercorn. For some reason we thought we needed more food, so I ordered the chile relleno and my friend ordered the camarones tacos. Excellent, excellent food. I am going to have to return to Cleveland soon so I can come back here!If you haven't been: be aware that there is a parking lot, but it is very small and fits about 8 cars, so you may have to look for street parking. There is some outside seating, some inside, and a little at the bar.

Momocho is much more than a dining and drinking experience. It's an immersive experience with all the eclectic artwork including photos and masks of luchadares, the masked wrestlers that trace back to the early 1900s in Mexico. The displays are really intriguing and I had a great time wandering through the restaurant to check out everything on display.In my younger years, I wrestled... and thought, "How cool would have been to wear masks and take on the persona of a mysterious wrestler like the luchadores?!" But I digress.The drink and food menus are very enticing which makes it challenging to decide. I opted for the following and really enjoyed it all.Margarita sampler - a selection of three from nine offerings that include spicy mango, blood orange, pomegranate, pineapple, cranberry, honey-ginger, red bell pepper, and hibiscus. Guacamole sampler - a selection of three from six offering that include traditional, goat cheese & tomato, black pepper pecorino & roasted garlic, pineapple-jicama-mint, crab & pickled corn, and smoked trout & bacon.Blistered shishito peppers Pecan crusted trout with pickled jalapeño mustard cremaThe dessert menu is limited to a few items, but they all look good.Service is excellent.

Pretty good Mexican food and definitely will be revisiting. I've heard a lot of hype about this place for a while and I don't think it fully lives up to those expectations, but it was definitely decent for the price. I got the carnitas taquitos: the tortillas/arroz were soft and the sauces were flavorful, but the carnitas were on the chewier/drier side. One of my friends ordered the shrimp taquitos and liked those, so I'd recommend that instead. The guac was delicious and the paloma was decent for the price.Service was fantastic. The inside is pretty crowded but they do have seating in a patio area out back so the wait wasn't horrible on a Friday night.

My meal here was one of the best unexpected dinners I've ever had. I'm not an adventurous eater, so coming here and seeing this take on Mexican food was a new and fortunate experience.When it comes to Mexican food I'm used to tacos, quesadillas, and churros, but I'm glad I decided to try something more complex with added depth. For my main I had the carne asada. The sauces and seasoning were insane. The steak was perfectly cooked and the potatoes and toppings had so much flavor it made me reevaluate what I previously considered Mexican food. There was so much to it than I realized. Better that I learn that now than in 20 years.For dessert I tried the fried ice cream. I've always been curious about it, but never ordered it. It was good as well! Ice cream, crunchy cornflake exterior, coconut, whip cream, and chocolate - can't go wrong!I didn't have much interaction with the staff, but they were friendly. My waiter was knowledgeable and went over every item on the menu efficiently.It is a small place with upstairs dining available and the main floor can get really loud. Also, if you can't tell from other patrons' photos, there is a bar and the restaurant is a little dark inside at night. I can't really speak to the decor as I didn't take a particular interest in it, but I think there were a few neon lighted signs around.I'm really grateful for this experience and to try such amazing food on my first day in Cleveland. I hope the other restaurants/eateries I have lined up are up to par.

The owner was very personable. The food was really good. Definitely try the different guacamole that they offer.

This was my first time at Momocho, the decor is unique. I personally preferred the upstairs area. For appetizers we got the guacamole with goat cheese, the tortillas and guac were a 10/10. We also ordered the chicken taquitos, the carne asada, and the flautas. Everything was superb. I loved the flautas the most, my friends preferred the carne asada and said the sauce was delicious (they were not wrong). The service was also great, my friends and I were so into our conversation we lost track of time and stayed a bit after closing time and we were not even kicked out, I do not recommend doing what we did though . We also tried almost all the margaritas on the menu, the cucumber was my favorite, my friends loved the blood orange one, the ginger honey was yummy too. The spicy mango was a bit too spicy for me. All in all, stop by Momocho!

Just an absolutely perfect dining experience. First time I was there was with a wrestler friend who was born in Tijuana and they loved the food and preparation of the taquitos. Great authentic flavors with modern upscale presentation. They also loved Lucha Libre theme. My second visit was even better than my first and we dove in to an assortment of apps and small plates to share. Brussel sprouts were perfect. And everyone got margarita flights to try the different flavors. My favorite was the one with the red pepper rim. We sat at the bar and service was great and all the customers seemed to enjoy their food, drinks and the staff. All around A+ experience and one of my new regular destinations anytime friends come to visit me on the West Side.

Great service- eclectic Mexican vibe. Wonderful selection of margaritas- and the food was fantastic. Would definitely recommend. I will be back.
