V Rating: VVV Mojos is just around the corner from where I live. Despite this, I’ve avoided going there out of a combined fear of Spanish food and of catching beautiful people germs. However, a couple of weeks ago my ex-housemate and his girlfriend suggested we go there for dinner on our way to a party. Talk about a revelation!
I’m starting to think that my fear of Spanish food is unfounded. There were 13 vegetarian tapas dishes on Mojos menu, plus three salads. Every dish that I tried was magnificent. We ordered five dishes and a salad between the four people. This prompted a withering lecture from the waitress (’I'm not sure if you guys have eaten here before, but people normally order 2-3 dishes each). Fortunately we didn’t take her advice, as the dishes we had were plenty satisfying.
My favourite dish was fresh, grilled artichoke drizzled in lemon and olive oil which had strong flavours and great texture. However, the cous cous balls, garlic potatoes, Spanish salad, fried eggplant and cheese were also high quality, fresh-flavoured dishes.
The one thing about Mojos is that is that it was chocka-block full and plenty noisy on Saturday. So make a booking or go hungry!

It was pretty good wasn’t it? And very faithfully recounted - I love your description of the waitress’s withering lecture!

I’ve had hankerings for those artichokes ever since. Andy and went back last week. The restaurant is really big (there is another room at the back that you can’t see from the street). This time we had the potato tortilla, eggplant and cheese, artichokes, garlic mushrooms and lemon tart for dessert. So, I guess you can eat 2 -3 dishes each if you put your mind to it. But we were pretty full afterwards.

I have been wanting to try this resturant for quite some time but unfortunently it dosen’t look like I will. I have left three vm’s with them this week regarding booking a table for dinner on the weekend and I have not heard back from them once. Shocking customer service and I would not recommend them to anyone.

Mojo’s is vegetarian nirvana in my book. The last time I ate there was with my sister, who is also a vegetarian, and two carnivorous teenaged nephews. We ordered five vegetarian dishes, three meat, and a salad. The food was AMAZING, and we left very full. Two dishes per person plus a salad was perfect for us. Three would have been suicide, though the food was so great it would not have been a bad way to die. Post a comment
