    Carne Asada Fries and Al Pastor Tacos

    Chill place, great music, good service, and the food was good. We went during lunch happy hour 2:00-5:00PM.

    The food is delicious with a simple menu and tasty items for all. The service is slow but when you pregame at this place and there's 2 bartenders for 150 people you know these guys are busy and doing the best they can under heavy fire ! The ambiance is incredible with enough "tacos de ojo" surrounding this little hole in the wall that makes you want to come back. My favorite taco is white cowboy boots, white shorts with a white cowboy hat and a U of A top ! Lots of salsa and a confident smile! The energy in this place overflows with good vibes ! I loved this place. Nice patio seating outside for great people watching ! Bear Down !!!

    Back entrance sewer grate fail.

    Please do NOT eat at Momo's Mexican Restaurant if you expect basic responsibility from management. As my 17-year-old daughter entered through the back patio door, a metal floor grate next to the entrance collapsed and her leg fell through into sewage up to her thigh. This was shocking and unacceptable, and completely ruined our visit to Tucson on 12/27/25. Fortunately, she was not seriously hurt. What made this experience truly awful was management's response, or lack of one. The manager and owner refused to come to the restaurant, speak with us, and provide any contact information. Instead, we were told secondhand that the manager reviewed video footage and falsely accused my daughter of "jumping on the grate." We were denied access to the alleged footage and left on our own to deal with the situation. No apology. No accountability. No effort to make things right. We had to purchase replacement clothing ourselves due to contamination. The safety issue alone is concerning, but the complete absence of ownership or responsibility is why this restaurant deserves this review.

    Steak Nachos

    This place came highly recommended and was just okay. It's a cute college dive bar style taqueria. The food was decent. Parking was good. We had the Burrito Bowl and Steak Nachos. Nothing to rave about.

    Carne Asada fries for the win!

    A bit reluctant to go in, but I am so ABSOLUTELY GLAD I did!!!! SATURDAY HAPPY HOUR!!!??? Yes, Gurl... yes!!!! A simple menu DEFINITELY DID NOT disappoint!!! Tacos, carne Asada fries and drinks! We tried the flour AND corn tortillas. The flour tasted like they just came FRESH off the comal! They was goooood :) ;) In order my favorite tacos were Biria (so juicy), carne Asada, then the Al Pastor. When I was little my dad would take us to Mexico just to eat tacos plus more and this place reminded me of those good times! The guy who took my order was so kind! He let me split the order (tortillas) and was very friendly! The person who delivered our food to the table looked like he was enjoying the day, then I saw him make a drink at the bar ... looked so good, I nearly jumped out of my seat and stole it! Of course I didn't, but he was going to town on it! Love that! And on a Saturday??? Yes, please!!!! Carne Asada fries, large enough to share and packed with yummy goodness! It's a cheese sauce they use, with a little bit of fresh cotija on top - it was just right! I think you save a little bit of money using their self serve salsa/chip bar too! I like this method because I feel like it eliminates waste! Just get a little and then a little more if needed. My favorite was the green/guacamole sauce AND the red mixed together!!! So flavorful and now my mouth is watering again just thinking about it! Overall, this place is a total WIN! The prices were good and it was beautiful inside too! I can't wait to go back and try their Sonoran Hot Dogs!

    Love the simple and colorful decor

    Great service started out our first visit to Momo's and they helped us pick out some of the more popular items like the street tacos. We tried chicken, steak, birria, and mahi mahi. The steak and chicken were the favorites. We also got a birria burrito and it was meaty and well proportioned with fluffy rice and well seasoned beans. We also loved the complimentary chips to enjoy the salsa bar. The creamy green salsa was outstanding! We all left stuffed and happy, would definitely recommend a visit!

    Mahi-mahi taco and shrimp taco
    Mellinda L.

    The street tacos were very good. I ordered vegetarian tacos, mahi-mahi tacos, and grilled shrimp. The Shrimp and Mahi were delicious. The vegetable taco I could not eat. It was not good at all. The issue was the menu read lettuce, tomatoes and cheese for the vegetable tacos... they added mushy chopped zucchini, corn, and beans. It was not good at all. But outside of that the other two were great. I just recommend checking your to go order before you leave. I still give them 5 stars because one issue should never override the great parts. And the customer service was wonderful. I will definitely go again and again. FYI: sorry for the empty container picture, but I started eating them before I took the picture. I literally stood at the counter and ate them before I realized I had nothing left to show you, but the empty container to reflect how good they were. :-)

    Delicious! We'll definitely be back. Stopped by for an early lunch so we didn't get the whole vibe but seems like it's a fun happy hour spot. I enjoyed the mango chamoy margarita though it was sweeter than I expected it to be. The carne asada tacos were delicious. I topped with a little pico de gallo and medium guac sauce from the self serve bar. The chorizo tacos were also delicious. I look forward to trying more options.

    Carne Asada Fries!

    Love this place! Great tacos!! Try the shrimp or mahi! Great service! The margaritas are one of their specialties too! Momo is great!

The staff where beyond amazing, especially the woman who made our complementary salsa right at the table. And the salsa was yummy but sadly that's the only part of the meal that I can say that about. The thing is, nothing was truly bad, but just about everything was incredibly bland. You'd have expected someone who puts raisins in potato salad to have served it, not an authentic Mexican restaurant. Though the positive is the lack of seasoning is really the only major problem. The food did not have any weird taste, it wasn't dry, the presentation was fine. It simply needs to be seasoned and this place goes to a solid 4/5 rather than a three.

Located in downtown Tucson, this iconic restaurant is full of character and beautifully decorated. We visited on a Saturday around 1 PM without a reservation and were told there would be a wait since the place was packed. They only have air conditioning in the indoor dining areas and basement, not on the outdoor patio. Luckily, we were seated in the basement, which turned out to be perfect. The service was commendable truly some of the sweetest and most attentive service we've experienced in a long time. We started with freshly made chips and salsa, which were an instant hit. For drinks, we ordered the El Tamarindo, Mangopeno, and Monica's Cafetini. For food, we chose the Vegan Jackfruit Taquitos Trio and the Fresh Corn Tamale Platter, which came with a side of squash. The drinks were excellent, with the Mangopeno being my favorite. But the real star of the meal was the tamale platter. Oh my goodness it was absolutely delicious! Everyone at the table kept digging in and couldn't get enough. Even the squash side was so flavorful that we ordered an extra serving. The vegan jackfruit taquitos were a bit too deep-fried for our liking and didn't quite compare to the incredible tamales. To finish, we shared a caramel flan, which was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The pricing was very reasonable, the service was exceptional, and the food was memorable. We will definitely be back again if only for those amazing tamales!

The food was creative while maintaining that fabulous fresh, handmade Mexican flavor profile. Absolutely delicious! Pricing landed somewhere in the $$ amount per person including beverage and appetizer. Very fair for the level of hand-crafting going into every dish. We didn't have a reservation (highly recommend getting one for busy times) and were happy to sit where they could fit us. Our server Louie was EXCELLENT. He walked us through the entire menu in 3 minutes and we felt confident ordering. He also suggested an amazing appetizer featuring chilies stuffed with cheese and shrimp and wrapped in bacon . I ordered the Fajitas Mixtas for my main as I wanted to try several meats. Hubby ordered the shrimp enchiladas with both green and red sauce. Both were beautiful and delicious. I also tried the mocktail that had prickly pear puree. It was delicious and refreshing. The menu had options available for folks seeking Gluten Free, too. Amelia's was decked out with modern, slightly edgy decor that was welcoming and exciting. Seating for wheelchair users could easily be accommodated by dining table chair removal. The Oracle Street location isn't huge, but the staff does a fantastic job getting folks in and you won't feel cramped. I could definitely see the place needing to expand due to popularity someday soon. Go and you won't regret it. This has made the list for returning to the next time we're in town!

Honestly, I wish I could give Yaquesita a little more, maybe half a star more, because this place definitely has potential. Their flavors are good, but compared to similar restaurants the menu feels a bit overpriced. For a party of three we ended up paying around $100, which felt like a bit much for what we got. The restaurant itself is pretty small with only about 3-4 tables inside, but the patio is a decent size and has a cute vibe. It's actually a nice option on cooler days if you don't mind sitting outside. Some items were better than others. The wet-style burrito was delicious and definitely a highlight. The quesabirrias were good, however the birria felt more like fancier shredded beef. It was missing that rich, spicy, slightly acidic, earthy flavor that usually sets birria apart from barbacoa or traditional shredded beef dishes. The bowl was just okay and had lots of lettuce. It felt more like a salad with a bit of meat, rice, and beans. Honestly, Chipotle does bowls better, and that says a lot considering the price. The nachos were good, but I've had better. Seis Kitchen has amazing nachos to share. That said, it's definitely a place I'd come back to mainly out of convenience, not because one particular item on the menu won my heart. I really do hope they continue refining the menu because the flavors are there and this place could easily become a standout spot. Personally I just think at the total price of my ticket other restaurants should not even have room in my mind during my meal. If you're in the area and looking for a safe bet where everyone will probably find something they like, it's worth giving them a try.
