Mexican
Bar / Lounge, Upscale Casual
Part of Momento Taquería & Cantina
We don’t fit into the world’s expectations.
Tequila, mariachi, and fiesta might be fun, but they’re just a narrow view of who we are. Yeah, we can rock a sombrero with orgullo, but we also carry Oscars, Nobels, and everything else we set our sights on.
We love where we come from, but it’s where we’re headed that really ignites us. Borders? No creemos en ellas. Being Mexican isn’t about what’s stamped on a passport—it’s a pulse that drives everything we do.
It’s the ability to take every obstacle in our path and use it to push ourselves higher. To evolve every day out of passion, survival, curiosity, o todo al mismo tiempo. To not find opportunities, but create them.
That’s why we’re born wherever chingados we want, because Mexico is too unique to be held back by walls.
Though our essence has inspired many, the full story of who we are es nuestra.
Unapologetically Mexican, embracing the esencia of who we are, where we come from, but most importantly, who we will be.
This is our MOMENTO.
See you at 36 E Monroe St.
