Mole is the sort of place you seek out in Mexico: Small, run by people who love it, based on traditional family recipes and ways. And it is aptly named. Mole is the acid test for a Mexican restaurant because it is hard to get right and when it is, it's fantastic. So was the mole at Mole, a sauce apparently prepared in Mexico and flown in. Not the spiciest I've ever had, but complex in the way mole should be. Don't miss it.

This is a go-to for me and my family. The kids love the fresh made guacamole and the elotes. The birria tacos are downright amazing, and a staple every time we come. Never a disappointing experience for us, looking forward to our next visit!

Took a chance for a last minute anniversary dinner. Great choice! Unbelievably creative cocktails, very attentive after, and really interesting Mexican menu. Taco appetizers were good, but the other dishes - mole enchilada and guava paste tostada - were exceptional. And the cocktail were so good we skipped dessert to indulge in one more round. Great little gem (in a funny strip mall). Highly recommend.
