    Great food, friendly server, in a cozy house. Make a reservation to avoid disappointment. They have a parking lot with 12 parking spaces. It sounds plenty, but Momocho is a popular place. The evening we went we had to circle the neighborhood for a few times to find an empty street parking spot.

    Absolutely one of the best restaurants we’ve been to in CLE. When you go to a restaurant, you can tell the ones that put maximum effort and passion into their work and Momocho is that place. EVERYTHING is made and served with excellence. We got flights of margaritas, guacamole, and salsa and all were absolutely next level. I have dreams about the guac even weeks later. Our entrees were creative, beautiful, and most importantly delicious. We can’t wait to have visitors so we can take them to one of the BEST stops in CLE.

    This place is so hip and the food are delicious! We ordered the flautas and carnitas taquitos and they are really good. I really love the mole sauce that's served with flautas, the brussel sprout is well cooked and compliment the flautas really well and the portion is actually pretty big. I also ordered the blood orange margaritas and it is hands down the best margarita I've ever had! I also love the ambience of the place, it is not too noisy like other bars. We came in on Tuesday and they have Tequila Tuesday - where you can get selection of tequila with discounted price.

    The flights were really good! The menu is a little confusing because half of it is in Spanish, I had to Google some of the things to find out what they were and I go to Mexican restaurants alot. The food was not bad just a little different than what I'm used to but that could be a good thing depending on how you look at it. We also had a appetizer that I didn't get a picture of, but it was good. We arrived a hour before they closed and still got good service and they didn't rush us out.

    Amazing mod mex restaurant styled in a home! The place is small and doesn't take reservations, so try to get there early if you don't want a wait (I've heard it's been up to 4 hours at times). Larger groups typically sit upstairs, while couples will be downstairs where the bar is. All of the food and drinks we tried were delicious- definitely save room for dessert, too!

    I have been wanting to go here for YEARS. It absolutely did not disappoint. Everything we got was delicious. It was also a lot of food for the price. We got guacamole, 2 appetizers, 2 entrΓ©es, and a margarita flight all for under $100. Beware, there are no reservations. We got lucky and got in after 5 minutes due to a cancelation.

    My wife and I, who live in suburban Detroit, were in Cleveland for an event earlier this year and went to Momocho for the first time. We were truly impressed by how great it was. How impressed? So much so that we drove from Detroit to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary there! And, to no surprise, our second experience at Momocho was even better than our first! As someone who loves to cook, the Chef's Table was an incredible place to sit. And I have to say, Chef Nick was so friendly and accommodating. We talked about cooking, he made great recommendations, and just made the evening even more enjoyable. (He even shared his secret for cooking an awesome Thanksgiving turkey.) Also, MJ, who was helping out (getting our drinks, etc.) was fab, too. The food was spectacular. We had a flight of guacs (pecorino, smoked trout, and goat cheese), the grilled octopus, and the carrot elote. All so damn good! I had the pork chop entree and my wife had the butternut squash flautas (you *have* to get the fried egg on top!). No surprise that those dishes were perfect as well. Unfortunately, we were so full, we couldn't do dessert. But watching the fried ice cream being prepared was almost as good as eating it. (Not really. We'll get some next time!) Oh, yeah. The blood orange and honey-ginger margaritas? Stellar. I love the combination of flavors the Momocho team puts together, not only in their food, but in their drinks, too. We've only been there twice, but Momocho is our favorite restaurant. Period. The only downside? That it's 2 hours and 45 minutes away from our house. But, you know what? That's a small sacrifice to make for such delicious food and drink! We'll be back! And we might bring friends with us the next time!

    Outstanding food. Fair prices. Great staff that gave us food suggestions and even though we came in 45 minutes before the kitchen closed and finished dinner 5 minutes after the kitchen closed, the staff never made us feel like we should hurry up and leave. On the contrary they actually recommend the fried ice cream (very good) and went in and asked a special favor of the kitchen to cook it for me even though as previously mentioned they closed 5 minutes before. A wonderful restaurant and I'll be sure to visit again the next time I'm in Cleveland. Thanks guys.

    I took a photo after I started eating, but I immediately knew I would be writing a review. This now one of my favorite cleveland restaurants. We ordered a margarita flight and they were RIDICULOUS. How can something be so good? Personal favorite was the red pepper. We also ordered an amazing guac trio, with my favorite being the goat cheese. Finally we ordered the small tacos, and honestly just get which one sounds best for you because they are all good.

    Food was as good as it gets ! Absolutely amazing pork chop cooked to perfection. Guacamole with goat cheese was the best ! Margaritas were alittle disappointing to be honest.

    The vibe was great and the food was really nice too. I loved their mango margarita. I liked the fact that there were many vegetarian options as well.

    The food here is consistently AMAZING. Gourmet take on classic Mexican dishes. Everything delicious but a standout is the smoked trout guacamole. Margaritas also great - get the flight which lets you try 3 different ones. The happy hour is a fantastic deal. Cant say enough good things about this wonderful restaurant.

    I’ve heard great things about this place but honestly I found the flavors to be a bit confusing. I would recommend any of their guacamole though, I thought that was the best thing my friend and I tried.

    Simple dining perfection. All ingredients made from scratch. Margarita trios. Warm authentic service. No reservations so expect a 30-60 minute wait during peak hours. You can walk around the neighborhood while waiting for a table.

    We visited friends out in Cleveland, we are from San Francisco. We HAD to try Mexican food in Ohio to see what it was like. The food was good, we went a little overboard and ordered too much. But we had the guacamole trio and the salsa trio as well as our own individual entrees. I ordered the carne asada plate. I was very surprised when my plate came out as basically steak and potatoes with Mexican seasoning. Not exactly what I consider to be Mexican food. However, that doesn't mean it didn't taste good. The food was cooked very well and the service was fantastic. I would definitely eat here again if I'm ever back in the area, I just won't expect the usual Mexican food I am used to living in California. Instead, I'll just expect great food, great service, and ants on my margarita glass rim. IYKYK.

    If we came here for chips and salsa, then this place would have given it 4 or 5 stars. The service is fast and friendly. The food is reasonable priced. Unfortunately, as the meal progressed including the queso fundito and the taquitos were subpar. The fried ice cream wasn't warm and the ice cream wasn't even melted. If I come back, it will only be for chips and salsa....and maybe drinks.

    Fantastic guacamole selections! Very evenly balanced and even had a bit of a kick to it! Food came out pretty quickly despite being packed. Cozy atmosphere on the inside. Nice spot for a quick meal!
