This restaurant does not use OpenTable - even though I made a reservation. Anyway, they had plenty of seating and the meal was awesome. Great Moley!

I had requested that we be seated near the front window. However, the host insisted on seating us (6 people) in the back room. I immediately noticed a very unpleasant smell (like a moldy cellar), but didn't say anything until after we were finished, as my sense of smell is stronger than that of most of my friends. When I finally said something, two of my friends said they noticed a musty smell. For me, it pretty much ruined the meal; I want to smell the food, not the room I'm in. The food was good, the service excellent, but I will probably never go back.

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!
