This is the type of food made by a sweet, loving Mexican grandmother. I know because my husband's nana makes the Sonoran version of this at her house :). The food represented at this restaurant reflects the Puebla region, and I was excited to see mole verde on the menu since I've typically only seen mole poblano at Mexican restaurants here. After browsing the menu, this is what I ultimately ended up with since I've never tried mole verde before. The menu is in English and Spanish but it does help to know some Spanish since there are a few descriptions on the menu that might be hard to decipher without a basic knowledge of it.
We were first served some chips and tomatillo salsa. The chips were fresh and crispy while the salsa was tangy and went well with the chips. The mole was a generous platter with a heaping portion of rice, beans, with chicken thigh and leg. The sauce was wonderfully executed and paired with the chicken beautifully. I was a fan of the very flavorful rice and beans as well. The meal came with these delectable hand-made corn tortillas. They were soft, pillowy, and oh so good. You will never look at a store-bought corn tortilla in the same way again!
I washed everything down with a horchata which was sweet, ice cold and refreshing.
Service was friendly and the cashier spoke English and Spanish.
The only negative is that the restroom was absolutely disgusting. The toilet paper was off the roll holder and thrown haphazardly onto a dirty baby changing pad and the floors and wall were suspiciously stained. A bathroom shouldn't make you feel scared to touch the surfaces and things on or in it, especially the toilet paper!
Also, let's just say that this strip mall has a very well-worn feeling to it and the same can be said for the restaurant.
Note that they do accept credit card now but there's no option to add tip to your credit card bill so bring cash if you are going to tip.
I definitely want to come back and sample more of the delicious cuisine here.
P.S. Shout out to Mark R. for his review and delectable looking photos that made me want to try this place out!
