Mole Del Rey — Restaurant in Bell

I wanted to like this place but having already been to Mole La Tia in Boyle Heights, it was hard not to compare and contrast.

The best item I enjoyed at Moles De Los Reyes was their tortilla. Second would have to be their lamb barbacoa taco. I had the grasshopper taco and it was a tad too bitter. I would never order this again but glad I tried it.

Everything else was just OK for me. The Mole de fresca (with pork) and horchata was a tad too sweet for my taste. Hate to compare but Mole La Tia is so much better in terms of quality of the food.

This eatery is also quite small but expect a wait time if you're coming here during peak hours.

Great to say I've tried this restaurant but don't think I'll...

This is a small cozy restaurant in the middle of nowhere. When I got there I thought Google got it wrong, but there it was. The food was mostly great. I really liked that they use fresh quality ingredients. My wife didn't love the Mancha Mantel Mole but it was good. The Chilaquiles were amazing, specially the Flor de Calabaza Chilaquiles. Their plantain dessert was extremely good. I am not a big fan of Cafe de la olla but I tried theirs and I am glad that I did, it was amazing. The service was quick and friendly and the price was amazing. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants some good Chilaquiles at a good price. I'm definitely going...

I'm Hispanic so I usually don't eat at Mexican restaurants because I can eat better food at home but this place is amazing. I've only been there twice and now I dream about their chillaquiles.

You can also request your chilaquiles to be made spicy. I love the level of tanginess ( not too much like other restaurants.) The potatoes in the meal are out of this world.

Also, it's pretty hard finding an horchata that doesn't have too much of that chalky consistency. This drink is absolute perfection. Perfectly strained. It's a bit on the sweeter side but I don't mind it. The pumpkin seeds and sugar rim on the cup knock this one out...
