| - Oh my god Momocho!! I came here quite a while back, long before I was avid yelper. I just now thought of how I should definitely write a review, while I was stalking them on facebook.
There are no words to describe how much I miss you momocho! Sooo yummy, and fun.
I tried calling before we went, like I think even a day before but they were booked solid. I was told however that they would accept walk ins. So we showed up around 4:40pm after just arriving in Cleveland. Already there was a line forming outside the door 20 minutes before opening. I was pumped to have gotten there so early and to not have to wait for a table. We sat downstairs at a table across from the bar, on some very high up stools. The place is pretty small and cozy. I loved the decorations all over the walls.
We started with the much beloved guacamole sampler. We got the goat cheese, blue cheese/garlic, and pineapple guacs! I love the creative ideas they have for their guacs. The goat cheese was definitely my favorite! The blue cheese was good but had a very strong flavor as you would imagine. The pineapple was also pretty good. The sizes of these things were ridiculous, and we ended up taking a large amount of them back and snacking on them at the hotel later in the evening.
For the meal I got the ahi tuna taquitos. I thought they were pretty decent. I wasn't the hugest fan, and I would prefer to get something more meaty next time since that seems to be their specialty. The blood orange marmalade that came with the tuna taquitos was stupendous however!! We were dipping everything into that by the end of the meal. My date got the coffee braised beef brisket taquitos and he said it was one of the best things he had ever had. You assemble the taquitos yourself, which I kind of enjoyed because I could decide how much I wanted loaded into each one.
I def wish I had tried the margarita sampler when I was there. All of them look spectacular.
I yearn for this restaurant everyday. I am constantly making excuses in my head for why I need to come back to Cleveland. I can't really find anything else I would want to do in Cleveland though haha. Some day though I will make my glorious return to the city and I will feast upon tons of meaty taquitos, conquer the rest of the guacamole I didn't get to try, and chug copious amounts of margaritas! And it will be legen dary.
