Thanks to several recent Yelp reviews showing the mole enchiladas I had to try this place! Las Cazuelas is located in the Target shopping center right next to Windy city beef & pizza. It is quite small inside with only 4 tables but there is outdoor seating as well.
We were greeted by the owner as soon as we walked in. You can either order right at the counter or sit at one of the tables and peruse the menu. I knew I wanted the enchiladas de mole poblano so I ordered at the counter. I also had to try the churros stuffed with sweet condensed milk (purely for my review of course!). You can order 2 or 4 enchiladas for $7. If you order two it comes with rice and beans which I opted for.
There was one table open and I was served chips and salsa as soon as I sat down. The salsa was excellent, just the right amount of heat for me. Within a few minutes my enchiladas arrived. The two enchiladas were on the small side but the mole sauce was absolutely delicious, just the right amount of sweet chocolate and spices. The shredded chicken was also moist and tender and the rice and beans were standard mexican sides.
The chips and salsa were quickly replenished without asking. Just as I was finished with the enchiladas the churros arrived. The order is 4 small churros served with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. They were hot and covered in cinnamon sugar. The filling was okay, but they would have been fine without it.
Overall I really enjoyed Las Cazuelas. The owner provided excellent service from beginning to end making sure we were happy. Although the enchiladas were a litte on the small side they were very good and priced fairly. Definately somewhere I will return to.
