    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!

    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!
    Veronica B.

    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. :-)

    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!

    Spanish Rice, Refried Beans, Shrimp Street Tacos
    Kendra C.

    Came here with my mom wanting some shrimp tacos and an adult beverage. Christopher greeted us and took our order very thoroughly. We both got two shrimp tacos ($4) each, Ordered a side of rice ($2.50), and beans ($2.50) I got a beer ($6) and she got the margarita ($7). We also got a bag each to fill up with chips (free). There was a bar with different salsas and limes which was a great perk. Our food came out quickly and was good. The shrimp tacos had a lot of shrimp in them which was appreciated. The side portions of beans and rice were great, especially for their price. We came on a Wednesday evening and it was not crowded. The seating area was also spacious and clean. Towards the end of the night my mom was strangling from taking a sip wrong and I looked around for water. Christopher helped me without hesitation and with concern. He also provided my mom with a courtesy bottled water to make sure she was okay. I appreciate the above and beyond customer service and experience. I will be coming back and referring friends.

    I loved the hotdog but the fries were just ok. My friend liked the tacos and the strawberry marg was delish. Service was 10/10.

    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.

    Taco Tuesday carne asada, birria, al pastor.
    Angela H.

    Came here on. Taco Tuesday from out of town (a state where Mexican food is scarce and good Mexican basically doesn't exist). Got the carne asada, al pastor, and birria tacos. Each taco was $2.50 - great meal for a great deal. Loved the carne asada, but really all of them were so delicious! Sprinkled some guacamole and salsa on top - a total winner. Plenty of meat and flavor. Service at the register was very friendly and kind.

    Happy hour street tacos with a Michelada. Warning the red salsa is HOT.

Spacious patio area, with cool lights, umbrellas, and many tables. If you have a choice and it isn't too hot, sit outside. The food is stellar! I got their ranch style flat enchilada, which is more or less a thick masa topped with enchilada flavors and spices. So yummy. (And it's vegetarian too!) The rest of the table (3 more) ordered the green chicken enchiladas. They didn't need to rave about it: their plates were completely clean at the end of the meal! We ordered Tamarindo and Horchata drinks between us, and frankly, the Tamarindo is some of the best I've ever had anywhere. Service can be a little slow, especially if they're busy. But we didn't really mind. It was a nice experience.

Salsa and chips were tasty, the carne asada was excellent. The corn tortillas are thick and perfectly charred. The green enchiladas were good too. The sauce was thicker than usual, but that's probably the Native fusion instead of being just Mexican enchiladas. So glad we stopped in, we ate every bite. Forgot to take a picture until I was half through!

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.
