    We each ordered mole. Both were quite good but I think the mole poblano was better than the mole mama Elena. Drinks were a little pricey. Churros for dessert were super tasty. Nice place. We’ll be back to sample some other moles.

    We had a great experience at Los Moles for lunch to celebrate a coworker. The staff were able to accommodate a large group last minute. The food and service was great. The aqua frescas were delicious on the hot day!

    Their brunch buffet is amazing! Imagine being able to taste 7-8 different types of mole, 2 types of rice, black beans, re fried beans, Fresh handmade tortillas! Fruits, rice pudding and flan are also included. Even their wine list is very affordable! Thanks so much!

    The ambience is a basic Mexican restaurant which could use some sprucing up and more thorough cleaning. The music was spirited but a little too loud for carrying on a conversation indoors with an ‘inside voice’. Those observations aside, the menu is extensive and has many dishes you don’t normally find at Mexican restaurants. The prices are higher than other Mexican restaurants but the portions are very generous so the value is there. I would recommend the restaurant and plan to go back again when in the area but might opt to sit outside if the weather is warmer.

    The food is so authentic and tasty. I love their brunch! The carnitas, the various moles, and pozole are to die for. The cafe de olla is kept hot over a flame and the homemade tortillas so so so good. I love coming here and bringing new friends.
