I was excited to find a well-rated place with a Groupon for my weekend in Cleveland.
Moncho's has a pretty different vibe from most restaurants. It's mostly a bar that has great food. The space is incredibly open (no booths, separation, etc) and at the end of the night on weekends, they clear out the tables to make way for a dance floor. Club Moncho's, yea!
Since we had a Groupon, we decided to go all out and order a sampler appetizer and two entrees.
The bartender was super-friendly. She was quick to offer suggestions on drinks and food and was very efficient in taking care of us and everyone else sitting at the bar.
The appetizer came out quickly and was DELICIOUS. We loved everything on the huge platter. It was immediately apparent we ordered way too much food. But you know, we had to keep eating. For science. Or something.
The entrees were up not too long after. Everything we tried was just excellent. Rich sauces, flavorful meats, savory beans... I'm getting hungry thinking about it.
So, the atmosphere is definitely not what I had in mind when I bought the Groupon, but our food was GREAT and I wouldn't hesitate visiting again and paying full price.
