    This was our first time visiting Mochomos. Overall, we had an excellent experience from the moment we arrived. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. We were promptly seated. The restaurant has a very cool vibe, good music, they pour really good drinks. Initially we decided on the arrachera but went with our servers recommendation which was the short rib. Nice portion to share but…it was a little too fatty and tough for our liking. When beef shreds it can be a little chewy. Probably should’ve addressed this with the staff as it was not something we both enjoyed. Full disclosure, I ate it because I was starving and had waited all day to dine here. Will we come back? Yes… we both had a great time in spite of the short rib issue and we know they have more to offer.
