| - Overrated, overpriced, completely underwhelming!
With all the hype this place gets, along with the line forming out front at 5:00 on a Friday night, we were hoping for so much more. Boy, were we disappointed!
When a so-called Mexican restaurant cannot master the simplest things like beans, tortilla chips, and guacamole, one has to be suspicious of how the entrees will turn out. These failures should have been our cue to leave, but it was an absolutely gorgeous Summer evening and we were without the kids.
The menu is weird. One example: there is but one "salad," and it does not contain anything green or leafy. Strike one. Tortilla chips obviously from a bag: strike two. The overhyped but very mediocre guacamole was strike three. Out.
Next batter at the plate. Upcharging for a small cup of bland salsa with the aforementioned $9 guacamole. A swing and a miss--strike one. The completely tasteless and textureless corn tortillas that come with the taquitos were strike two. Flavorless and uninspiring beans served with the entree--another whiff. Two Ks for the visiting team.
Third batter steps up. Two lackluster entrees for a big swing and a miss. Nothing with chocolate on the dessert menu--strike two. Total bill: $130.00. He retires the side!
I really like to support local businesses that are at the forefront of Cleveland's rebirth, but sadly, Momocho is one and done for me.
