My birthday treat this year was an experimental trip to Eric William's luchador inspired MOMOCHO. It was a big risk going to an unknown restaurant for a birthday but based upon the reviews here I felt it was a safe bet. I was fully prepared for as the menu clearly states a reservation based on a two hour dining experience.
Looking online and at the restaurant they like to promote their guacamoles and the cucumber margarita. Not sure which guacamole would be the best to try I ordered the 3 choice sampler of the traditional, goat cheese-tomatio-chille poblano & blue crab-corn-chile chipotle. Unfortunately I thought while good the guacamole wasn't a star dish and not worth the exorbitant price. The cucumber margarita on the other hand was not only unique but much tastier than expected. Instead of the guacamole I could see myself spending an evening dining on the salsa sampler and the real superstar cucumber margarita all by itself.
The taquitos are served with warm flour tortillas similar to fajitas with pico de gallo and salsa verde, one word - yum! I also tried the seared sea scallops-hominty croqueta-jalapena cream corn that was perfectly cooked with a delicious cream sauce.
For birthdays or any other time you have a wish for a wonderful dining experience Momocho is an excellent choice.
