Mochomos Aguascalientes — Restaurant in Aguascalientes

The atmosphere is good. The restaurant is clean, staff is very attentive and front of the house did an excellent job of listening to requests, addressing them and listening to feedback. For context I’ve grown up in cattle country in the Midwest, and have been privileged with always having access to great steaks and suppliers around the area and so maybe I could be a little biased when it comes to rating the quality of steaks. The meat was decent but trimming the piece could have been done better. I ordered the steak medium rare but it came out ice cold. The ribeye Mochomos was cold and the sauce might have been the only bright spot on the dish. The potatoes on the side were unseasoned and if you would have served me KFC potato wedges I would’ve been more content. The aguachile is nothing special, the octopus a little tougher than I would have liked but also flavorless. The tuna tostadas were ice cold as if the fish was frozen in the back and the flavor profile was so unpleasant it had to be sent back after just one bite. Virtually inedible. If I would compare this place it would be a few tiers below an Outback Steakhouse but even then that’s not being fair to Outback. If you are looking for a business dinner where you culinarily want to impress guests, I’d suggest try elsewhere. If you want a more upscale ambiance and don’t care about the taste of food then this is a viable spot. I really wanted to rate this place a 4 or 5 but the food is so lacking that it brings it...

I had a very disappointing experience at Mochomos. Throughout our visit it was not clear who our waiter was, as several people came to our table. One of the waiters forgot a drink order, resulting in our food arriving before our drinks. One of our two main dishes had to be sent back to the kitchen, twice, due to the steak being completely raw. The prawns on top of the steak were mushy and inedible. Another waiter came to our table and promised to remove the item from the bill. When we asked for the bill we did not receive it but were provided a dessert that was not wanted. Eventually the bill came with nothing removed. We asked about this, another server claimed it was a misunderstanding and insisted it remain on the bill and that their offer to make it right was the complementary dessert which we had not asked for and turned away before it was placed on our table. The rest of the food we ordered was average, I can only give this place 2 out of 5 stars due to the very frustrating experience. For more than $1000MXN per person, I would not...

Bastante caro y, como han mencionado otros, a veces la calidad de la comida no corresponde al precio. Es un lugar para empresarios con cuenta de gastos, funcionarios, o los desesperados que intentan impresionar a sus acompañantes, no importa el costo. Es decir, ellos para quien el dinero no es importante.

Nuestra entrada de pulpo y camarones fue bueno y amplio, pero muy caro a $400. Mi plato fuerte de rib eye de puerco al durazno una decepción, la carne dura y la salsa demasiado dulce.

Tampoco el servicio fue 'wow' - nuestro mesero no ayudaba mucho con recomendaciones (solo repetía lo que decía el menú), y intentaba a varias veces vendernos algo más sin que lo pedimos, hasta que este casi estaba una molestia (como, por ejemplo, cuando regreso con botellas de vino para vendernos unas copas aunque ya habíamos decidido de no pedir vino). También nos apresuraba a veces a quitar los platos etc., aunque hubiera debido ser obvio que no habíamos terminado. Nada grave, por supuesto - pero nos dejó con la impresión que trabajaba a su interés y ritmo en lugar de los nuestros.

Para terminar con el servicio, nunca voy a entender por qué unos restaurantes hacen un 'tag team' del personal - es decir, uno toma su orden de bebidas, otro de la comida, otro trae la cuenta, etc. - nunca sabes con quien tratas.

Punto positivo, los cócteles fueran buenos - pero otra vez pagarás caro por eso, a más de $200 cada uno - quizá un precio normal en una buena restaurante de la CDMX, pero aquí no.

Finalmente, el estacionamiento es por valet, aunque no tiene sentido - está afuera, y fue un poco ridículo ver el valet estacionar nuestro carro a 5 metros de nosotros - entonces nada más para parecer más 'nice' y extraer otra propina.

Para ser claro, nada de lo anterior fue muy malo - el lugar es bonito y generalmente el personal amable y profesional - pero cuando gastas tanto de tu propio dinero, eso es lo mínimo esperado y tampoco es suficiente - y por eso Mochomos no es...
