Social Profile:

Momento’s mission is to reshape how Mexicans are seen around the world by presenting Mexico as bold, creative, rooted and proudly modern. Created by two friends from Mexico City as a calling, not a business. Inspired by the street taco stands of Mexico City—chaotic, vibrant, and unforgettable. We serve tacos with authentic flavor and modern edge: from slow-cooked guisados and ribeye on the plancha to vegan birria and Baja pescado. Every tortilla is handmade from heirloom Mexican corn, nixtamalized daily. Built for flavor, speed, and soul.

Just checked out Momento in Chicago and wow This place brings the real taste of Mexico straight from Mexico City to the city. The tacos are packed with flavor, bold, and made with heart ❤️

You can tell they care about every detail. No over-the-top decor or gimmicks, just amazing food and good vibes. The salsa actually has a kick ️ and every bite feels fresh and authentic.

It’s definitely not your average taco spot. If you’re into real flavor and great energy, this is the place to go ✨

Complimentary chips were lovely. All 3 salsas were great, the avocado especially tasted super fresh. (Was a bit watery though.)

The octopus and sweet potato special tacos were both phenomenal. The quesabirria was disappointing, birria and consumme both lacked flavor and depth.

The ribeye tacos were cooked fine but lacked any sort of seasoning. Don’t be afraid to ask for a refill on the salsa.

The molcajete bowls are an interesting gimmick, but I doubt they’re actually used for the cooking.

So I figured this place would be good, because it’s a taqueria attached to a restaurant. That usually yields inexpensive tasty food. For the most part, that was the case here, the tacos were pretty tasty and the communal salsa, however off-putting, was good too. The “taqueria”, on the other hand, is a completely charmless doctor’s waiting room. The music was loud and obnoxious, the maitre d was rude and miserable and handed me some wet potato chips between eating her own lunch at the front desk and scrolling her phone. Completely passable, even good, food, but somehow at the same time a completely dissatisfying and miserable meal.

I found this restaurant through TikTok. I did a little bit of research and heard the food was fire. My family and I decided to give it a try. We are really glad that we did.

Upon walking in, we were greeted by Frank. He asked a few questions about what we were interested in, then took the time to walk us around the restaurant to show us how everything worked. He really set the tone for how our service would be.

We then sat down and ordered a bunch of tacos from Colin. He was very attentive during our dinner but also not overbearing. The support staff also made sure we were tended to. We continued to order more throughout our stay. The TikTok video said to order as you go so that you get fresh and hot tacos, instead of ordering all at once and they go cold.

Each taco was great. My wife loved the pescado, while my daughters destroyed the ribeye.

The service set the stage and the food matched it. I’d come here every time I’m in Chicago.

If you haven’t checked this place out, you’re missing out! The atmosphere is perfect! It’s classy and elegant with a touch of culture. The salsas and guacamole are DELICIOUS! The service is top notch! We went after watching Parade at the theater next door and were so pleased that it was open late and at the quality of every even at that late hour. Definitely going back for more!!

I was honestly shocked by how good the food was! I went during happy hour, and they have a $10 special that includes a full meal with tortillas. It was absolutely delicious and reminded me so much of the food my mom makes at home.

Place is very fancy.

I can only say that this place serves the best tacos, guacamole, and black beans I’ve tasted in a Chicago Mexican restaurant. Also, all the desserts are delicious.

Kind of a mix experience, obviously they work with what they have, definitely not a street taco level, but very good and original.
Service was so so.

This place surprised us! From Wabash, it looks like a fast-casual taco place. But inside there’s a completely separate sit-down dining area that is gorgeous. The tacos were fancier versions of the flavors we loved in Mexico City. Each was very different from the last, but there wasn’t a single one we didn’t love. The margaritas were also very distinctive.

I was visiting from Michigan with a friend for a show and she happened to find this place. I was not prepared for how amazing it was. As a chilanga, I was so excited by the decor, the concept, but, most of all, the food. It tasted like home. I always look for good tacos wherever I go, but this place exceeded my expectations. The beans they serve with the chips are so good. Salsas are solid, especially their spicy habanero salsa. I tried the picaña trompo and ribeye tacos and I will be coming back every time I am in the city. Service was amazing too!!! They also have Mexican craft beer and brew their own. Highly recommend this place!!
