It's the third time I tried mole in this town. And it's definitely one of the best I had so far. The place is very nice decorated and spacious. You can also sit on the terrace which gives you a nice view over the patio. As starter you get some tacos and a tasty sause. Prices are less high compared to other places.

Went for early dinner, 5:30pm, and it was empty. Service was excellent, prompt. The food was pretty good, both the Asadita (serves 2) and the Flautas. The lower floor was very pleasant, with the ambient music at a comfortable level (except when a local band tried to serenade us). Do recommend!
