    This Mexican food was flavourful, with unique combinations that stimulated the palate. The guacamole was the best I’ve had and the in-house freshness of the tortillas was so tasty. The service of Valeria was so engaging, informative and friendly- she definitely enhanced our first time experience

    Enjoyed my birthday dinner here. Blood orange margaritas and delicious guacamole with lump crab started our meal. Hubby loved his snapper and I chose mole enchiladas, which were very good. We ended with Tres Leche cake. I did wish they offered a chocolate dessert, but that's just my preference. Menu is small but I'm confident it's all high quality food presented beautifully. We will definitely be returning.

    This was our first time at Mole and it was amazing! Our server Val gave us some food recommendations and they sure did not disappoint. Delicious food and the absolute best service by Val. Definitely going back soon.

    Our service was fantastic, couldn’t be any better. My friend teased the waiter a bit and he stood right up to it, teased back; and took good care of us. Food is always delicious. Great spot, though noisy when it’s crowded. We went at an off hour > perfect if you prefer a more quiet atmosphere.
