Fonda el Cucon — Restaurant in Jalisco

Diving into the Chicken Mole Enmolada at Fonda Cucon was nothing short of a culinary revelation. This dish, a harmonious blend of tender chicken enveloped in a rich, complex mole sauce, all wrapped within a soft, corn tortilla, was a standout experience.

Each bite transported me deeper into the heart of Mexican cuisine, revealing the care, tradition, and skill that went into its preparation. Fonda Cucon's mastery of this dish speaks volumes of their dedication to authentic flavors and quality ingredients. For anyone seeking to understand the soul of Mexican cooking, the Chicken Mole Enmolada is a must-try. It's not just food; it's a cultural journey, richly rewarding and...

So glad we stumbled upon this wonderful restaurant, a hidden gem off the beaten path.

The family-owned, casual restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating operated on the front of the house. They start you off with complimentary chips and salsa. They should be selling that salsa. That's how good it is. We didn't want to keep eating and be full before our main meal. The food is fantastic and authentic. The Chicken Mole is amazing, perfectly balanced sweet, and spicy just like I want it. The Shrimp Enchilada is amazing. Fully loaded and they did not skimp on the flavor at all.

The service is excellent. The chef, a young man is very charming. Very accommodating. The young lady who was serving us spoke great English. It was a wonderful way to end our evening.

Do not miss this place if you are in PVR. You will...

10/10 will try again! Maybe for breakfast tomorrow 😁 I just had a feeling this place would be great and my instinct was not wrong! From the incredible mole by chef Cruz (whose hometown is where mole comes from), to the handmade tortillas, to all fresh ingredients and super authentic flavors, to the hospitality of Gorge and his family, this place was one of the best I’ve tried in PV.

I can’t wait to try everything else on the menu.

Update, took my friend from home here and it was just as great the...
