| - One a recent trip back home to Cleveland, I had the pleasure of being treated to a night out at Momocho. It has a very unique and intimate atmosphere I enjoyed. We were fortunate to get a table on the second floor and received excellent service throughout our meal.
I am not a huge margarita drinker, but my friend encouraged me to try the margarita sampler--three margaritas (in rock glass-sized glasses) for $15. I was really blown away by two of the flavors: Spicy Mango and Cucumber margaritas. What I loved best about the Spicy Mango was the rim of my glass, which had just a bit of red pepper mixed in with the salt to give it a nice bite.
We started out with an order of guacamole tradicional, which was excellent just by itself. I didn't feel adventurous enough to try some of the more unusual guac blends with goat cheese, pickled corn, or smoke trout. They just sounded very unappetizing to me. I do like spicy foods, however, so our waitress brought over a bottle of their homemade habaƱero sauce, which was phenomenal. I added that to my guacamole and thoroughly enjoyed it.
For an entree I had the tinga taquitos--sixteen spiced grilled chicken with the chili ancho and pomegranate barbacoa. The chicken was very tender and had a great smoky flavor.
Overall, it was a very good dining experience. The menu was a bit pricey, but atmosphere and food were very enjoyable, as was my company that evening!
