| - The first time I ever ate at Momesso's, the food was orgasmic. I ate there twice in a week just last week and neither time was very good. I tried to go in the summer but there was a sign in the window saying they were closed for renos. I guess the anticipation and memories of past visits got my hopes up! Even the two visits last week were not consistent. What hasn't changed, however, was the grease--MMMmmmm!
I always get the sausage and steak or just the steak sub, usually the full 14" (~$14) just because I'm greedy like that. Sometimes I get my sub with onion rings, sometimes fries (they offer small which is a good size for ~$3 and large). Both are full-on greasy goodness and always cooked just right, served in the cafeteria-style no-nonsense plastic bowls. The onion rings are crispy with some light grease, and the fries are a little greasier with little oil blisters on them.
I'm seeing a lot of these fried onions / green peppers / mushrooms being tossed into steak subs these days and I can't say I'm loving it. I find each of those items when fried have their own flavor and it doesn't really add to the beefy flavour of the beef, if anything, I find it robs one of enjoying the good, beefy taste of the meat. On one occasion, there was no trace of cheese in my sub, and too little sub sauce (actually it's Italian dressing) on another. The sauce I could get over, but not the cheese. The other thing is that the fillings for the subs are getting noticeably smaller. What's up with that?
I was quite disappointed these past two times I ate at Momesso. The service was the only thing I couldn't complain about. That and their hot sauce. But why don't they sell the little jars of the stuff anymore??
