    Birria Taco + Grilled Mahi Mahi Taco (front) & Chicken Tacos (back) & Refried Beans
    Kristina K.

    I cannot believe yesterday was my first time trying Momo's! The inside is pretty small, but there is still plenty of seating. There is just counter service, and they will call your number when the food is ready. I came on Taco Tuesday, so I opted to get tacos for the discounted price. I ordered a Birria Taco and a Grilled Mahi Mahi Taco. One touch that I enjoyed was with your receipt you are given a little bag to grab chips from the self serve bar. There are also three kinds of salsa to compliment the chips. The food came out fast and hot! I enjoyed both tacos and found the tortillas pretty sturdy. The sauce on the mahi mahi tacos was a spicy but still tolerable. I will definitely be back to Momo's if I ever need an affordable, delicious, and quick meal!

    Mahi,  shrimp and Al pastor tacos

    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 !!!

    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.

    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!

    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. :-)

    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!

    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!

    Amelias Mexican Kitchen - 1 QUESABIRRIA WITH SOUP (juicy meat)

    The food was excellent! Leyda was perhaps even better than the food; she helped guide us through…read morethe menu and helped us select a lunch we couldn't stop talking about. She's a keeper! Ambiance is comfortable and other patrons friendly and inquisitive regarding our meal selection.

    Came here off of a recommendation, and while it was decent, it definitely didn't live up to the…read morehype. When we entered the restaurant, I was immediately impressed with all of the accolades that Amelia's Kitchen seems to have accrued over the years. Maybe that set my expectations too high. We made a reservation, which I highly recommend, so we were quickly seated. but it did take a bit for someone to actually come and greet us and take our drink orders after being sat down. Then it was probably another 40 minutes before we actually got our food. I'm not sure if it was this lag time that affected the food quality, but several of my items were just lukewarm and some even cold? The star of the show was definitely, the molcajete. This came out sizzling and full to the brim with shrimp, nopales, chicken, asada, cheese, and lots of other goodies. In hindsight, I probably should've ordered one for myself. I went with the chicken mole enchiladas. Again, the sauce was okay but not super spicy, and it was a little cold, as was my side of rice and beans. We also ordered the mini birria chimis to share. and these were just OK, they tasted like frozen food. Overall, if you come here, I highly recommend getting the molcajete, but can't really vouch for any other items. Maybe we'll try it again on a less busy night.
