La Diosa de los Moles — Restaurant in Monterey Park

Cheerful colorful ambiance. Plenty of table, booth, wide open seating for big parties. Great recorded music. There's even a small stage for live performance. We were there on a Sunday afternoon. Nothing live, but little kids were dancing the Hat dance on it. So cute.

FOOD. Mole!! Different types, lots to choose from you get a sample of three signature mole as dollops on top of your chips. Fun way to help you decide, but also the servers are hugely helpful. Food is beautfully and artfully plated, Fiesta for the eyes. The menu is varied, and you can order a protein like Mahi Mahi or chile relleno, and also choose the type of mole. Notice the grasshopper tacos at tge back of the menu!! Wow, but not today. We decided to share different styles of enchiladas, one stuffed with shredded chicken dipped in their signature dark mole 5/5...the other carne asada, which was the traditional mole polablano 5/5..., but the steak was served whole and alongside, not stuffed. 3/5 the steak was thin and tough, alas. The steak was served with guacamole 5/5...the chicken had white rice (fluffy and surpringly flavorful) 5/5 and fijoles 4/5 (just wanted more).

TIP: DO NOT SKIP DESSERT or the agua frescos. Instead of a rice based horchata, this one is made with roasted pumpkin seeds, delicious and subtle 5/5. The Jamaica also good, not too oooo sweet 5/5. So glad we ordered the caramel filled churro, it came warm yet crunchy chewy, it was plated like a work of art. See pics.

SERVICE. Jerry is from Texas, so friendly and helpful. He explained hiw he made the horchata with the pumpkin seeds, we had to try. And he said the restaurant had only been open about 8 months, and that the original in Bellflower, going on 11 years. Great service from Jerry. Lovely teamwork from all the servers on hand. Welcome to the neighborhood!! We definitely will be back to try other...

I live very close to this restaurant, which used to be Tepeyacs (which was ok). That restaurant closed, later became La Villa and then that restaurant also closed. Then this location was vacant for a while. This morning, I happened to pass by and noticed that this new restaurant was opened. I tried the Huevos a la Mexicana with breakfast potatoes and beans and it was delicious!!! I also had agua de Jamaica, which was the best I've had. The good server (Haro) was very friendly and attentive. I hope this restaurant thrives because it's great to know that there's a fantastic authentic Mexican restaurant in the neighborhood (Monterey Park). I will definitely become a...
