Mole Poblano House — Restaurant in Baja California

The ambiance is really warm and charismatic, the whole restaurant is decorated following traditional culture from Mexico, using really vibrant colors for the furniture, walls and floors. They had a very talented musician taking care of live music, with just the right amount of volume, so you can actually talk with your friends. In the chilaquiles the crispiness of the tortillas was perfect, they did not feel oily at all, and every bite came with a loud CRUNCH!, the sauces were phenomenal, you will love this dish (Mole Chilaquiles). We recognized right away that this was MOLE made from scratch. The scrambled eggs were perfect, they were cooked at the exact time they should and were not oily. The chipotle cream was really well balanced, you totally get the hint of chipotle in it, but not the Mexican spice that not all of us are used to (If you love ultra spicy Chile this is not the option for you). The Carne Asada was really good, it had a smokey flavor which made me think if it was actually made on a grill, the eggs were exactly how I ordered them. The dish came with Mexican Fried beans which I loved for the deep and rich taste they provided and paired great with the rest of the plate.

If you are in town for vacation, travel or business. This is a really nice place to grab a bite, the dishes seem really elaborate and the scenery of the restaurant is lovely to snap some pictures of your Mexican Trip. If you are already a local and haven’t tried this place, you should totally give it a chance, the quick access to parking and the zone were it’s located, make it a perfect choice.

This place was awesome!!! Parking is adjacent to the property behind a Ramen house that shares the lot with a succulent vendor. You cross the street and walk into a beautiful courtyard that leads up to the.frint door where you sign in. There was a 10 minute wait to he seated as it was slightly busy but waiting in the courtyard was great as it gives you pleasant sense of tranquility. As you walk in you feel like you are in the Mexican state of Puebla with all of the original decor and set up. Our server was SUPER friendly and professional. With most dishes they offer a complimentary consomé de pollo (chicken broth) which hit the spot as the temperature was on the cooler side. I ordered myself a Chocolate de leche (hot cocoa with milk) you are given the option of having it prepared with milk or water. As an appetizer we had queso fundido con chorizo which was excellent 👌🏼 as a main course I ordered the Molé almendrado con pechuga de pollo (Molé sauce with chicken breast dressed in almond slivers) and it was phenomenal!! They serve it with home made tortillas which give it an additional touch of greatness. Something else I really loved was they bring out a dry Chile Morrita and peanut crushed blend which tasted great! I asked for something with a higher heat level and they brought out another dry mix which consisted of: Chiltepin, and peanuts which was OFF THE CHARTS in flavor. Overall everything was great and I can't wait to go back... BTW it was around $45.00 U.S dollars for three entrees 3 hot Chocolate drinks and an appetizer....

Casa de Mole was one of the first places I ate at years ago with my now partner in life so it definitely has a special place in our hearts. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the food on this trip over the border and only got the signs and some of the decorations. We went on a weekday evening for dinner and were greeted immediately by a friendly hostess and seated at a table. They have the most amazing (in my opinion) salsa that I often buy to take home. I don’t know what it is about it but I absolutely love it. They give you salsa and fresh tortilla chips when you are seated. They also bring over a chicken consomé bowl which is a nice touch. Tonight we tried the Poblano and Ranchero Moles and the Chipotle Crema Chicken. All dishes come with rice and beans and tortillas on the side. I think they will automatically come with corn tortillas if you don’t ask for the flour. All of the dishes were piping hot when they arrived at the table and they were all delicious. Service at the restaurant was outstanding as well. And yes, I did take a container of the salsa...
