Very cool atmosphere, extremely professional and friendly. We ordered the Big bird and the Thicc as Brioche. The food was amazing and creative. Great brunch or date night place or just causal hang out for drink and snack. Mimosas were the BEST I’ve ever had!

I love that Goldsboro has this now! It’s delicious, we got that Papitas Locas 10/10. The Lasagna Verde was amazing I would recommend everyone to try it, it was our favorite, we wanted seconds! We also got to try Big Bird—YUM. The cocktails were spectacular. Impressed by the flavors here. This is what Goldsboro needed. I hope this restaurant doesn’t go away. Don’t question the food or the spot! You have to try it! The atmosphere is a vibe there and the servers were very nice and constantly checking in.

I wanted to find somewhere for my husband and I to go for a night we really needed and I’m so happy I called this place. In a world where I thought quality service was dead they exceeded our expectations. They wanted to make sure we really were taken care of. The food, phenomenal. This is a place that does it right. Thank you for giving Us a space to enjoy ourselves.

I came in on a Saturday afternoon and sat at the bar alone. First off, exceptional service, the friendliest staff and recommendations. Second, the cocktails were some of the best that I have ever had. Lastly, the food was spot on, like an orgasm in your mouth, FOR-REAL THOUGH! Goldsboro has never tasted so good. I look forward to bringing my brother in when he is in town for the holidays!

Outstanding food- super fresh ingredients, creative combinations, tasty seafood options, and authentic entrees. Truly a gem of a tapas restaurant nestled in Goldsboro. If the rest of their appetizers are as good as the ones I had this place is worth frequent stops.

Absolutely the most refreshing and unique place to come to Goldsboro in a while. I was introduced to this little Latin fusion eclectic restaurant/bar by a friend and I am so thankful. I have lived in Goldsboro all my life and have never experienced a young brother team with such a passion for food and craft cocktails. Edwin and Andy are really inspiring to talk to and to watch them create their one off unique twist on the menu items. We spent a couple of hours talking with the staff and getting educated on their way of doing things that I have never heard of before. I will definitely return because I can't wait to try some more of this great food,cocktails and service. Keep up the great work guys!

Everything you’ve heard about Momento is true, especially if it’s good! I figured there was no way it could live up to the hype, but I was wrong. Food? Amazing. Drinks? I’ll have another. Staff? So nice! I truly can’t wait to eat my way through this menu
