Momocho
Momocho is a pioneering Ohio City restaurant that has been redefining Mexican cuisine in Cleveland since 2006, earning a feature on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and a loyal following for dishes like smoked trout and crab chilaquiles, duck confit taquito, and smoked Gouda tamale dumplings. The kitchen's commitment to layered, complex flavors puts it in a different category from standard Mexican restaurants, and the guacamole prepared tableside with fresh ingredients is considered among the best in the city. The intimate space with exposed brick and a colorful interior fills quickly on weekends, so reservations are strongly encouraged. Start with the tableside guacamole and the smoked Gouda tamale dumplings before ordering the duck confit taquitos.
