The Salsas Restaurant: "Mole (Chicken breast) served with rice, beans, and a pack of tortillas." $10.99
Traditional Mexican mole (from the Nahuatl word mōlli, meaning "sauce" or "concoction") is not a single dish, but a complex family of velvety, slow-cooked savory sauces rooted in Indigenous culinary traditions and blended with European and Asian ingredients brought during the colonial era.
Southern Mexico—particularly Oaxaca and Puebla—is considered the spiritual home of mole, where recipes feature dozens of carefully toasted and ground ingredients simmered to produce deep, layered flavors.
