| - I made it back to Momocho for the second time, and have to revise my review as they gained a little bit more cred this time. This small but great (modern) Mexican joint in Cleveland lacks somewhat on room, but makes up for in atmosphere and really great food. The menu doesn't appear too big, but when you do it right, it doesn't matter. They have only two sections for entrees, one being all tacos (no matter what you call them on the menu) served in a semi traditional manner, as they have peppers, onions, protein, served with corn tortillas.
The first time I went, the guacamole was the biggest disappointment, and it wasn't bad, just lack the promised (or implied at least) crab in the crab and corn guacamole. This time however we tried the guacamole sampler, and it was great. We actually found a decent bit of the mix ins in our guac, and didn't have to guess which was which, as there was a lot of the flavor of the trout and bacon, and pineapple, etc.
The margarita and tequila selection are as extensive as they are delicious. The house margarita with cucumber is pretty amazing (especially since I don't eat cucumbers), and refreshing. I just stuck to that as it was different, but others tried the blood orange which was great, and traditional, none of which were lacking in alcohol.
We did family style yesterday, and since we got apps, and knew we were getting dessert, were just got 3 dinners for 5 of us this time, as ordering an entree each last time, there were tons of left overs. We tried the duck (again) which is phenomenal, and the brisket covered in coffee, which was very good, but thought the carnitas we had last time was better. Both of those were taco style, and lastly we ordered the pork chop dinner, which got rave reviews from everyone, and I thought was tasty, but just not a chop guy myself really, but the rub and mole that accompanied were great.
If I had to use one word to describe my desert, the Caporitada, it would have to be supermegacrazyawesome.... It really defies one standard word obviously. It is a bread pudding with raisins and cinnamon, and JALAPENOS, but done right, its not too spicy, but had a great savory element to it, and I have ordered it both times, and have been very happy, only thinking it could use some sort of anglaise (or more if there is one on there, as it is all absorbed in by the time it makes its way to the table. I will be back very soon. I did go back, and they earned all 5 stars from all five of us in the party.
