| - I have been to Momocho more times than I can count...each time my experience has been quite awesome. I have been here for dinner, happy hour, appetizers, and just drinks.
I have never made a reservation for this place and have never had an issue getting in, sometimes we've had to eat at the bar, but I really have no problems with that. Even though I have never had issues getting in (I live just a few houses away and usually only go in the middle of the week to avoid the crowds) I would still recommend making a reservation if your heart is set on eating here. Living close by, I have seen lines to get in before they even open on Friday and Saturday nights.
When you go here, you have to order the guacamole and margaritas, so very good. I think I have had almost all of their guacamole's and tasted all of their margaritas. You really can't go wrong with any of the choices, but my favorites are- Guacamole- goat cheese; gouda; and crab (these are the main ingredients in each one, they do contain other delicious flavors). This comes with a big basket of house made tortilla chips, perfectly cooked and salted. You will not be able to stop eating these. The margaritas - Red bell pepper, spicy mango and the cucumber, each come with a spicy pepper salt rim and a perfectly spicy taste. The guacamole and margaritas are also served as samplers, you can choose three different kinds and taste more than one flavor. (Singles approx. $8; samplers approx $15).
My usual dishes are the carnitas (pork), machaca (beef brisket) and tinga (grilled chicken skewers). These are also my favorites. The machaca can be a little on the salty side, but still delicious. These all come with tiny corn tortillas and two sauces on the side, a green tomatillo and an additional sauce specific for each dish. Carnitas has a honey-chile chipotle sauce that I want to just drink straight from the bowl, machaca has a side of the traditional guacamole and the chicken has their house made pico de gallo. (Approx. $15 per dish)
Definitely try to come here if you haven't already, or visit their other location in Lakewood (El Carnicero), also great food and a little more variety (they have tamales).
Just remember this is not traditional Mexican food, it's Mod-Mex...Equally delicious, just a little different than traditional.
Also this isn't the cheapest of places to eat. When we come for a full course, margaritas, guacamole and dinner it is definitely for a special occasion. Otherwise we stop by for happy hour, a couple drinks and a guacamole.
