"Across that time, Fieri has spotlighted joints across the United States, Mexico, Italy, and Spain - with the high-flying chef even making it to the DC Universe. Of the 20-plus Ohio restaurants that have appeared on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," several have earned a second visit, and a couple have been featured three times. But only one has made it on the show four times: the modern Mexican standout, Momocho."
"Instead, Momocho is built on bold flavors, seasonal ingredients, and inventive presentations. The menu takes traditional Mexican dishes and experiments with them, offering dishes that feel both familiar and fresh. For any Mexican restaurant to thrive, they need a next-level guacamole, and Fieri gave a special shout out to Momocho's experimental take (served in six ways, with goat cheese, crab, and pineapple). He also highlighted the house-smoked trout."
Chef and owner Eric Williams opened Momocho in Cleveland's Ohio City in 2006. The restaurant rejects the label of "authentic" Mexican cuisine and focuses on bold flavors, seasonal ingredients, and inventive presentations. Momocho has appeared on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives four times, including Season 1 and Season 32, and under themes such as "Twists and Traditions" and "Real Deal Mexican." Menu highlights include guacamole served six ways (goat cheese, crab, pineapple), house-smoked trout, machaca (coffee and chile-braised beef brisket), mole-smothered pork chops, and tuna tacos with blood orange marmalade. No other Ohio restaurant has reached four appearances.
