| - Ambiance: 5. Trendy area of Ohio City - small and intimate two floor restaurant. The kicker is the Mexican "libre" (wrestling) stuff they have all over the place, as well as the open grill right next to pretty much all the tables on the top floor.
Cost: 3. Momocho's firmly overpriced by Cleveland standards. That said, they can get it away with it due to: small amount of tables, advertisement from food network appearance, strong customer service (all the waiters/waitresses know what they're recommending).
Food Quality: 4. Tequila/Margarita offerings get a five (pretty much anything I've ever heard of is one the menu, at least 20+ offerings between the major tequilas). Guacamole gets a five (best infused guacamole I've had hands down) - get a trio sampler, worth the price even with two people. My recommendation is Crab - Pineapple - Blue Cheese. Taquitos is where things get dicey. Momocho's good, but a lot of the offerings have too similar accompanying salsas and frankly not that exciting dishes. Wasn't a fan of their apparently very popular carnitas taquitos, thought it was too sweet.
Service: 5. Great service, wait staff always watches your drink situation (both booze and water) and they are helpful on recommendations even after going a few times of new things to try.
When to return: Special-but-not-too-special occasions, early dates, group dates, ~4 person group outings, happy hour after work at bar. Make sure to make a reservation 2+ days in advance or get their extremely early, place is small so it's very hard to get a table.
