A long work day always calls for a nice beer and some grub at a nearby restaurant with a happy hour that boasts drink specials and if you're lucky, a discount on the food. People desiring something unique and new along with something familiar and fun love Momocho Mod Mex.
Momocho, located in Ohio City, has all the things mentioned above and more. Playing on the lucha libre theme of masked Mexican wrestlers, the walls are filled with not only portraits of luchadores, but also the Virgin Mary, mexican-style crosses and tricked-out bicycles. The dark rustic interior provides an intimate space where your table is often shared with the company of others. While the space might be small, this little cocina cooks up some big flavor!

-WHAT to get-
Although I have not had nearly half of the things on the menu, there are some things I can suggest for first time foodies:
-Definately start with chips & guac- their chips are made fresh to order and the guacamole is some of the best I have ever had- try the blue cheese/garlic confit/chile verde! If you're having difficulty making up your mind, there's also a sampler of three!
-If you do make happy hour, get the taquitos, they're half price, which you really can't beat. I've tried most of them, all being delicious, but if I had to pick the alcachofa (sofrito artichokes and goat cheese with pico de gallo) & pato (slow roasted duck, pomegranate ancho barbacoa) are my favorites!
-The specials are good, but expensive. Making Happy Hour and getting the taquitos are just as satisfying (and about as much food) as the especiales.
-Get a margarita or a mojito!
-Unfortunately I've always been too full for dessert, so I have no idea how they are, but what the hell! If you're belly's still craving more, order one of the exquisite sounding delectables!
(if anyone has, feel free to leave a suggestion in the comments!)
