Casa Mercado: Museo del mole — Restaurant in Coatepec

If you visit Coatepec, you should visit Casa Mercado around lunch time. Mole is my favourite Mexican dish, I tried it in many different areas of Mexico so I think if there is a mole place, you should try the local mole. Fernanda, my young guide, explained to me the history of the mole and how local people make mole here. She was passionate about her job, enthusiastic, I am so lucky I met her. You can have lunch here, first I didn't want to eat but we were talking so much about mole and I wanted to try a local speciality: xocos. So I had lunch here and I don't regret it. I could try 4 different kinds of mole here, mole with almond, a homemade mole , mole de rojo and a spicy one, I think. I loved all of them. Fernanda was with me all the time and she gave me information not only about the food but about this area, about local people , about their culture. I am so glad I came, highly recommended place, the people are friendly and helpful. I would love...

Super great place the woman who gave us her mole tour was amazing spoke Spanish and English. Very informative and answered all my questions! Highly recommend.

The service was super! Would recommend if you haven't...

Es un lugar pequeño y en temporada calurosa vas a sudar ya que no hay aire acondicionado. Te ponen una cortesía que es una degustación de sus moles, creo que todos tienen buen sabor, no son picosos. Pedimos unas entradas de croquetas de plátano rellenas de frijol, las sirven con una pequeña porción de mole (8/10) De fuerte pedimos chilaquiles, el pollo con mole, trilogía, chileatole de espinazo y un pambazo. Creo que lo que estaba bien fue el pollo con mole y la trilogía (3 enmoladas, cada una de diferente mole). Los chilaquiles estaban equis, su salsa no es la gran cosa. El pambazo, normal. El chileatole tenía sobrecocida la carne y por ende las verduras, no era del día por lo que estaba salado, tiene orejitas de masa. El servicio es muy leeeeeeeeeento, esperamos mucho y solo había 3 mesas. Me molesta que pidas tus alimentos por tiempos y te pongan las entradas con los fuertes, qué caso tiene especificarlo sí al final cocina saca todo junto. No volvería por...
