La Carreta Los Cabos — Restaurant in Baja California Sur

These guys have a spectacular negro mole sauce on their hands. It is easily the best we’ve had in the Cabo area and probably one of the top ten negro moles we’ve ever had.

It has to be the real deal (we hope?) but who knows… If it is from scratch we’re sure the recipe is a family heirloom.

Please visit and get the chicken enchiladas con negro mole. We doubt you’ll be disappointed. In fact you may need to pinch yourself to make sure you are not dreaming. It was that good.

Beyond the food, the service was wonderful. The crew behind the counter were so kind to us. We’re not sure what the staff relationships are but it felt like a family run spot.

The portion is huge and with two of us, we were not able to finish the whole thing.

You get a lot of food here for the money. Fresh,...
