Momocho

Zach Boggs

This is the best mexican restaurant in the greater cleveland area. It's easily some of the best tacos and Enchiladas that I've had by far. The prices here are modest it is not inexpensive by any means, but it is well worth it. Parking here is easy. There is a small free lot next to the building but do arrive early. This place is very popular, and the lot fills up fast. The dining room is also quite small, so don't be surprised if there is a wait. The servers here are very friendly and helpful and even ask you if there are any dietary restrictions while taking your orders. I'd also highly recommend the margaritas here very well, balanced and full of flavor.

This was my first time visiting and it’s now my favorite restaurant!!! I went last Saturday around 4 pm on a date with a beautiful and awesome nurse that I work with that raves about how wonderful your food is. I was blown away from the start. We walked in and the vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant was incredible with low rider bikes similar to those from LA on the west coast, pictures of Luchadors, and a nice painting of Guy Fieri on the wall. We got a lime margarita and a wonderful spicy mango Marg with tajín rims and we blown away with the guacamole flight! We loved the pecorino romano with the sweetness from the agave, corn n crab guacamole, and enjoyed the goat cheese too. They even brought out this amazing homemade Momocho hot sauce that me and my date adored like kids in a candy store (they sell bottles to go home). It has great flavor, well balanced with acidity, good heat, and goes great on anything! For entrees, my date got the tacos dorados and I got the carne asada. We loved the mojo/chimichurri sauce with the steak n the double fried potatoes with pecorino. We also really loved the tacos dorado dish and that was my favorite part of the night, besides my amazing date of course. The owner Eric welcomed us with open arms at the door almost like he was welcoming us into his home and asked how our meals were at the end. The service, atmosphere, and food were 10/10 so make your way to Momocho for smiles, amazing food, and a great vibe!

It is a cute find in a neighborhood. I would never think that is a restaurant. The restaurant is actually inside of a town home. By the way, we found this place via Chatgpt recommended travel itinerary. Ok, let's talk service. Nice! The owner is there taking us to the table. And the girl took care of us are super nice. When she found out our daughter had allergy, she offered to give us veggie as chips instead of chips that were fried in the frier that used for food contains peanuts. Food: I have my likes and not so great- I liked that guacamole, very creative. We tried the trio. Goat cheese, smoke trout, and black pepper ones. We also ordered steak. The steak was good, but the potatoes was awesome!! It is deep fried baked potatoes? Not sure how it was cooked, but it was crunchy outside and software inside. And it was mixed with bacon and almond. Yummy 😋.. Not my favorite: the beef brisket taco. The meat was kinda dry.. the enchiladas was kinda salty.. The margaritas were little too sweet.

I've had this place in my saved restaurant list for awhile and I finally had a chance to check it out for Cinco de Mayo after it was rated #1 Mexican in the Cleveland magazine. Tbh, I did not have high hopes for this place as it was in the running with two other Mexican restaurants in the Cleveland magazine, Cilantro Taqueria and Barrio Tacos. I've been to both and they were, meh. To be fair, I did live in San Diego for 22 years and I'm still trying to find a good taco place out here. I was absolutely blown away by this place!! They should be in a category of their own! This place is so much more than just simply Mexican. Whoever greeted us at the door was super friendly and seemed genuinely happy to have us there. It seems like many places now could care less if you're there or not. It was busy for Cinco de Mayo but the wait wasn't too bad. We ordered drinks t the bar: blood orange, pomegranate and a spicy mango margarita along with their tequila recommendation. I recommend the spicy mango margarita! We enjoyed our drinks outside while we waited for our table. Luckily the rain stopped long enough for us to check out their beautiful patio. The place is bigger than you imagine and there is an upstairs where we were seated. We were greeted immediately by our server and did not wait long for even more drinks. We started off was their charred tomato salsa chiltomate and salsa Verde. Both salsas were fresh and the charred tomato salsa was really interesting and not your typical bright red salsa. For dinner we ordered their Camarones and machaca Taquitos. The camarones came with a pineapple salsa and had a bright citrusy flavor. The machaca was everything that you would want, it was tender juicy and flavorful in a shallow bowl of piled up meat covered in juices. The best meal was their Barbacoa, glazed pork shoulder & smoked pork belly, “street corn” masa grits, fried brussel sprouts. I've never heard of or had street corn masa grits but I don't know how I lived without them! Everything about that meal was absolutely amazing. Honestly one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. The meat was so tender and juicy and so flavorful with bits of crispy pork. It was such an amazing combination with the masa grits and brussel sprouts. I wish I had more words to describe it, but you will just have to go and try it for yourself. Lastly, we had their fried ice cream for dessert with a peanut, chocolate and cornflake crust topped with whipped cream. I will definitely be back and can't wait to enjoy the patio when it's nicer outside!! I highly recommend this place if you are looking for an amazing place with friendly staff, a fun atmosphere and great food!
