Everything was wonderful! We celebrated my husband‘s birthday here with 13 friends and it couldn’t have been a better experience. The food is delicious. The moles are incredible. Everything was perfect.

My family and I have passed this restaurant hundreds of times and finally had a chance to stop in, and we're so glad we did! We ordered the flautas, chicken quesadillas, steak tacos, and cochinita pibin. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the cochinita pibin was definitely the highlight of our meal. The pork was tender, tangy, and packed with flavor... My 9 and 7 year old made sure nothing was left! For dessert we had the churros and pineapple upside down cake. Both were absolutely delicious, not a crumb was left. The food was amazing, the staff was attentive and very friendly. It was a great way to start our evening, and we'll definitely be back!

Omg! This is definitely the best mole I've ever tasted (and my husband makes a really good one) 🤭 Everything is absolutely delicious! We'll be back soon

I was very excited to try the mole here. I ordered the lamb shank with mole negro. The mole was out of this world, but the lamb was tough.
Overall it is a friendly restaurant, good for groups, and the mole is superb.
Pros: friendly staff, excellent mole

Noticed the sign advertising mole on a drive by one day and finally had a chance to stop in for a lunch. Phenomenal! We both agree this the best mole we've ever had and we've travelled extensively throughout Mexico. We had the mole trio with chips and it was a large portion of each--verde, roja, and negro. We loved them all, but our favorites were the smoky negro and sweet-spicy roja. Then we were pleasantly surprised to find chiles en nogada on the menu and had to try it. This is a dish we rarely find outside of Mexico. And it comes with three of their thick, house-made tortillas. Delicious! We will definitely be back to try more of their dishes. Service was fantastic and the space very comfortable and inviting. Highly recommend!

Went on a super busy valentines night. Hospitality, despite how crazy it was, was very appreciated. A server got my wife a chair to take a seat with our baby while we waited in a very long check-in line. Host checked on us a few times in between our server's check ins. Server communicated wait times and apologized for any delays. Drinks were perfect. Food arrived hot.
1st time here and it was fantastic. Was Valentines Day and it was absolutely packed We were a good 20 min late and they still sat us within 5-10 minutes. A good foreshadowing of how incredible their service was. Extremely kind staff Food was killer. Some of the best upper scale Mexican you can find in the city. Reasonable prices too
Thank you to a Ms. Laura P. You made my birthday very special! One of the sweetest/best servers ever.

The drinks are unique, flavorful, delicious and theres something for everyone. The food is so good, highlighting many regions of Mexico and just unbelievable varieties of mole. And you cant beat it being a block from the blue line. Highly recommended!

Our server was amazing I wish I remembered his name, he was very knowledgeable about the menu and the moles and you can tell he believed in the work they do at the restaurant. Will definitely be going back!
Excellent food; college dining hall ambience. The food is outstanding. I had the lamb in black mole and it sang to me. The cocktail menu borders on idiotic—just because you have various ingredients in your kitchen doesn't mean they belong in a margarita. And the space is cavernous and as brightly lit as a science lab or a dental office—if the restaurant isn't busy, it feels like you're eating in an empty warehouse with grow lights. And that's a shame because the food is too good for the setting.
The food not to good, is over over over price $$$$. Unfortunately no coming back. The enchiladas potosinas terrible, the tamal con chocolate super overpriced. The pulpo frito no good.
