I’M MEXICAN.
WE DON’T FIT INTO
THE WORLD’S EXPECTATIONS.
TEQUILA. MARIACHI. FIESTA.
MIGHT BE FUN. BUT THEY ARE JUST A NARROW VIEW OF WHO WE ARE.
BUT THAT’S NOT THE WHOLE STORY.
MEXICANS LIVE IN TWO MOODS.
EN CHINGA / EN FIESTA
TAQUERIA
EN CHINGA
Fast, chaotic, warm, and absolutely democratic.
Cantina
EN FIESTA
Where time stretches and a meal turns into a celebration.
ALL IN ONE SOUL.
Because being Mexican was never about choosing one or the other.
METRO / BLACK TIE
TACO / COCKTAIL
BANDA / FUNK
TRADITION / AMBITION
EN CHINGA / EN FIESTA
WE LOVE WHERE
WE COME FROM.
But it’s where we’re headed that really ignites us.
MADE BY MEXICANS, FOR EVERYONE.
YOU THINK
YOU KNOW TACOS?
Welcome to your reality check.
THIS ISN’T YOUR
CLICHÉ MEXICAN SPOT.
Momento Cantina reimagines the classic cantina through the lens of a modern Mexico. Creative, elevated, and unapologetically real.
Built for the long nights, the slow sips, and the moments that turn into memories.
THE TORTILLA ISN’T JUST THE BASE.
IT’S THE SOUL.
Every tortilla is made in-house using 100% Mexican heirloom corn, nixtamalized with ancestral techniques.
No flours. No shortcuts. Just maíz, cal, agua, and corazón.
WHEN THE BASE IS THIS HONEST, EVERYTHING ELSE RISES TO MEET IT.
Start with a sip.
End with a story.
MOMENTO
CHICAGO, IL
WE CHOOSE
CHICAGO.
It’s not just a strategic location. It’s an emotional one.
Chicago gave Momento the perfect stage: one of the world’s great food cities, deeply connected to Mexico, and ambitious enough for what we are building.
44 S Wabash / 36 E Monroe
NOT JUST A MOMENT.
A MOVEMENT.
Momento is more than a restaurant. It’s a platform for culture, a brand born from food, but built to live beyond the table.
Food. Stories. Products. Experiences. All part of something bigger.
