“Took my daughters to dinner here the other day. Immediately felt welcomed as we were greeted and walked to our table. The decor is adorable and festive - love it. The food was outstanding. They also gave me a sample of three mole sauces to try before ordering. All were delicious but I had the mole pipian. Portion was just right, I had no leftovers. My daughter had that evening’s special which was carnitas, and asked if they could be made into a taco dinner. They said yes without any hesitatjon. I will be going back and bringing the rest of my family. Staff is very friendly and invited us to come back and host my daughter’s quince. They also have live music every Saturday and on Mother’s Day there will be a mariachi band playing. Too bad I’ll be out of town. Definitely give this place a try. This will be one of my regular neighborhood spots.”
“Got in at 6:30, seated immediately. Prices were a little high, but between the decor and the atmosphere, it was clear this place was no hole-in-the-wall. Between the three of us, we got: an order of quesabirrias; cochinita pibil; and three tacos all pastor. Reader, when I tell you we were groaning with joy over the table, passing each other "hey you have got to try a bite of this" taco/quesabirria/etc; and after everything, it was still just barely $20 a person, with tip. Y'all are SLEEPING on Mis Moles, Chicago. This is my new favorite Mexican spot in a city that is spoiled for good Mexican already. Twelve outta ten stars, my god. (Photo is the quesabirrias.)”
“We were there at an odd time. Day after thanksgiving and early. However the food was excellent and we were given mole to try with chips. Food came with fresh tortillas. We ate it all. No leftover and we did dessert too. Thank you for a great meal our thanksgiving feast.”
“First time dining here- Wow! I ordered perfectly made mole enchiladas. They gave us small samples of mole as we were seated. They were so friendly and everything was delicious. Adding this place as one of my new faves.”
“Took my cousin for lunch and ordered a quesabirria and caldo de Birria.”
“The tortillas were so soft n almost creamy with my fajitas. The guacamole was fresh with a hidden pepper every once in a while that elevated it. The margs were great. The 3 different mole were flavorful. Definitely would go back to try all 3.”
“Sin lugar a dudas las enchiladas de mole que comí están bien, no me agradan que tengan queso gratinado, pero ese es mi gusto personal, de entrada me dieron la prueba de los tres moles, y regresaré a comer algo del mole verde que me agradó bastante, la atención de la persona que me atendió bastante servicial, pero corrí con la mala suerte que no había más personal, por lo que mi tiempo de espera fue muy alto, supongo que fue un caso fuera de lo común por lo que regresaré!!!”
“A bit of a letdown with the other reviews. Ordered Chile rellenos and asked how many came on the plate. I was excited to hear two, as I was quite hungry. Turns out they're two quite small ones (think half the size you buy at the grocery store). The moles samplers were good, but I didn't want to spend $7 on any of them, especially since the steak for the chiles cost an extra $5 (not worth how little was in it and didn't know there was an upcharge). Oh, and you'll be charged for extra chips (they brought out a basket of 7 chips the first time). Extra $3.50. Felt like a money grab. Over $40!! For chips, salsa, two tiny chiles and a beer. No thanks. Yes, the homemade tortillas are good. But, also, not worth $43 for one person. Also, it's quite dead on a Friday at 5pm. Think I know why.”
“Ever wondered what mole is? Think of it as the sophisticated, slow-simmered soul of Mexican cuisine – a complex sauce often featuring chilies, spices, and sometimes even chocolate. Mis Moles not only gets mole, they get that choosing one is a commitment! Bless their hearts for offering mole samples – a game-changer for the indecisive (like me!). My shrimp ceviche was a zesty start, followed by a solid steak tampiquenia playing second fiddle to a dark mole enchilada that whispered sweet (and slightly savory) nothings. My only tiny critique? A grain of salt more might have elevated things to perfection. But listen, if you're on a quest to explore the diverse world of mole – their vibrant red, zesty verde, and rich, dark chocolatey options are calling your name. Consider me a convert. Next time, I'm diving headfirst into a traditional chicken mole, and you bet your bottom dollar it'll be slathered in that darker magic. I'll be back for more mole. Also I apologize there's no photos of any of the food , as soon as it hit the table I snorted it. Of course they had all of the classic Mexican cocktails try the Jamaica (hibiscus) cocktail but what really stood out to me was the traditional piña colada using traditional ingredients (creme of coconut ) in addition the passion fruit margarita had real passion fruit in the mix....😋 Also this restaurant caters to large family groups so it's a perfect place to bring a large group they understand how to set up and serve larger groups quickly and efficiently so that everyone is eating at the same time.”
“Los PRECIOS son una Locura!! Todo esta Carisimo!!! Precios Muy Abusivos!!! Primero empecemos por las Enchiladas, vienen en el Menú a $20 dolares y Rellenas de Queso ¿Enchiladas de Queso?, osea cuando han comido Enchiladas realmente Mexicanas rellenas de Queso?, exacto: NUNCA!!! Ok, en fin, cuando se piden Rellenas de Pollo como deben de ser, pues resulta que tienen un Costo Adicional de $6 dolares, es decir, unas Enchiladas bastante simples a $26 dolares!!! Por donde se vea este Precio esta Fuera de la Realidad y muy exagerado!!! Tambien ordenamos una Quesadilla y pasa lo mismo con el precio: Vale $15 dolares, osea es una Tortilla de tamaño normal con Queso y Pollo y por eso hay que pagar $15 dolares?? Estan locos!! Increible!! Tambien pedimos 2 Tacos de Pastor y nos costaron $7 dolares cada uno!!! Si venian bien servidos pero esos Tacos NUNCA valen los $7 dolares que cobran!! NUNCA!!! Los 3 tipos de Moles que tienen son ricos pero ninguno justifica lo que quieren cobrar por ponerlos en Enchiladas o Chilaquiles. LO PEOR DE TODO Y PARA CERRAR CON BROCHE DE ORO LOS ABUSOS DE ESTE LUGAR, pues resulta que por una Mesa de 4 Personas SIN AVISAR Y SIN PREGUNTAR, COBRAN DIRECTO EN LA CUENTA EL 20% DE PROPINA, osea no es por una mesa grande de 8 o 10 personas, o por un Excelentisimo Servicio que brindan, Noooo, lo cobran Arbitrariamente y sin justificacion!!! En resumen, la Propina igual que los precios es desmedida, abusiva, exagerada y excesiva!! Ademas de que la ponen obligatoria!! El Resultado de esto es que a las 12pm que es la hora del Lunch eramos la única mesa, el lugar vacio vacio. Si este lugar no se corrige no durara mucho mas, NO RECOMIENDO IR!!! Ahi les dejo las fotos de la Cuenta y de los platillos para que vean que esto es real!!”
“Clean, comfortable and delicious! Great service and attention. I tried the pipian mole, it was delicious, the tortillas are handmade. I’ll be back to try more dishes ⭐️”
