Just a hop skip and a jump away from Downtown Cleveland is a great little mexican joint called Momocho. Another place that I heard of only by Googling Guy Fieri and Diners, Drive-inns, and Dives, I managed to pull enough data from the phone to be able to navigate from the interstate to this little place in Ohio City (Cleveland), Ohio.

When we say small we mean it. The seating is limited to groups of six or less. If you want those six tops you had better call for a reservation. When we got there it was a Sunday afternoon at 4, and the only open seats were at the bar. Fine for us, but we did see some folks opt-out. Though others wisely chose to sit outside.
The big deal here was the Guacamole. They offered many types. Which for some of us is a strange concept, after all what else can you do but mash up some avocado, add some lime, garlic, and cumin and call it guac right? But here they had some designer guacs, which was at first mention a bit of a turn off for me, until I met the Bacon and Smoked salmon Guac. With nice chewy bits of smokey salmon and crispy bacon mixed in, I wondered why this was not the standard recipe for all guac.
For the Entre, I ordered the beef short rib taquitos. Served up boneless and super tender the short ribs came with tiny little corn tortillas, a horseradish sauce and fresh tomatilla salsa that was out of this world. It was too bad that between the guac and the taquitos, I was full to the rim because I still would have like to try the Pibil (marinated pork), or machacha (coffee infused beef), wild boar, or any of the
other many taquitos they offered, but that will have to wait for another time. AND THERE WILL BE ANOTHER!
