| - well, once I learned that the owner of Happy Dog (so far my go-to place for casual weekend dining) also owned this place, I had to go and try it out!
After getting my baller haircut at Paul Mitchell's, I had several options to choose from for dinner in the area. Should I go back to Le Petit and have savory crepes or should I venture down for some tequila at Momocho's? Can't really compare the two, and they are both good, but I was in the mood for something a little spicy last night...
Now, as a doctor, I am instantly impressed with any restaurant that has the ability to pull off skulls hanging on the wall as decor....along with massive crosses, it really sets the atmosphere of the place. There's also a little spray-paint picture of Guy Fieri on the wall next to the bar stating that he ate there....lots of the patrons were pointing it out, and this place definitely deserves that kind of attention.
Sat at the bar since I was by myself and basically asked the bartender for rec's on the whole menu, and he didn't steer me wrong the whole night. Started off with the cucumber margarita which was very refreshing, only had the one since I was driving, going to have to come back a few times to try all the other flavors on the menu!
Goat cheese guac followed by the chancho taquitos....the thing I love the most about eating everything that moves on the planet, is that I get great recommendations on unique things, I've only ever had wild boar once before and it was really yummy last night, and I even had enough to take home for breakfast this morning, do it up with some scrambled eggs, phenomenal.
Luckily, I made room for dessert, not sure how that happened, but I'm sure glad it did. Bartender suggested the capirotada...uh, gingersnaps with jalapeno bread pudding, you're sure, right? ok, bring it on out....oh. my. goodness.....thank you Momocho for sending me a bartender who was also a foodie! Came out piping hot with crema and mint on top, the flavors set off each other so well, it was delish! Sweet and spicy, hold and cool all in one bite, and the top of the dessert was caramelized just perfectly....
I'm glad my mom likes tequila and Mexican as much as I do, I hope she comes out to visit soon so we can go back and sample some more things and maybe do a Sunday night dinner, wish they had that deal for singles out there :o( reason for the -1 star.
