Ooooohhhh my gooodness!! If you are a fan of mole, it's a must. If you are not, stop depriving yourself! Lol. They have other very delish things on the menu besides moles. They have a rib eye steak with 2 different kinds of chilaquiles that I can absolutely recommend. But, do yourself a huge favor and have ANY mole...because you will not be disappointed! I had no idea they were Michelin in 2021 and 2025, but it stands to reason! Their regular breakfast potatoes, done to perfection! Not like other places where there's no flavor in the potatoes. These were fab. The beans are also very good, which is something I know I always look forward to. Cafe de la olla is also on the menu. Their Aguas frescas are all made in house, all natural! Prices are SO reasonable for the selection and quality. Ambiance is quaint, only 6 tables total. We went mid morning and service was perfect. Clean place. A must try. read more

Food 10/5 Service 10/5 - Jessie's great! Ambiance - cute, colorful, hole-in-the-wall Been craving for some authentic Mexican food and saw this place pop up on the Michelin Guide! Went immediately for lunch today and was blown away! Don't let the exterior of the restaurant fool you- the food and service is top notch! Jessie took great care of us :) I love mole, and loved trying the different kinds they had. I decided to get the pipian rojo mole with wild salmon, as well as the spicy chicken soup for my sister. We literally devoured it, along with the piping hot tortillas made in house. The tortillas reminded me of my nanny's when I was really young. It's so nice they actually spice up their dishes, and love that the dishes are not so salty, while still maintaining that strong and rich flavor of each ingredient. My salmon was perfectly grilled, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with the mole accentuating the salmon and not overpowering it. I asked for some lemon for a little extra zing, and couldn't stop eating until I wiped my plate clean. It's very unusual for me to finish the entire plate in one meal as I did here. Sister really enjoyed her dish and wanted to take some extra home. It's just that good, and I can't wait to come back with my husband! I'm excited to try the shrimp/ribeye mole plate next. read more

We went there first the first time. The service was awesome but the mole didn't taste home made. The plates were pricy and that they weren't really that good. We thought the flavor would have been much better. The restrarant is smal and so is the parking lot, it doesnt have a public restroom either. Thought it would be better. read more

Service was amazing we had an amazing waiter, very sweet and friendly, made our experience even better. I ordered the chile verde chicken enchilada, the sauce was so flavorful and delicious, rice and beans were also flavorful! The restaurant itself is so cute and very cozy. Definitely would recommend this place! read more

To be a true Latin food connoisseur. You have to know all the different moles each region in Mexico has to offer. They're all made slightly different with totally different taste. This is a really small restaurant. If you don't pay attention, you can miss it but really pay attention because this is a Michelin in star restaurant. Everything was so delicious. I'm definitely coming back again to try all the rest of the mole. My best friend was very excited because they had vegetarian options. Our food was plated so beautifully and the taste was amazing. read more

The food is delicious. Definitely can see why they have two Michelin stars! The albobdiga soup was amazing. I also tried the black mole which was surprisingly smokey. I would like to try a sweeter mole next time. As for the location, it's very cute and nicely decorated to showcase the beautiful culture of southern Mexico. The service was also very accommodating to my small children which is always greatly appreciated. read more

Great moles here! It used to be Rocio's Restaurant but I guess it changed its name. The old logo is still on the building though so it's a bit confusing. They serve you chips and a sample of the mole sauces. Most of the ones we tried were good but my favorite was the pipian. I had the rib eye mole with that sauce. It was delicious but I felt my meat was overcooked. Either way still a good spot for some moles! read more

One of my co- worker mentioned this place and myself being a huge fan of Mole, I had to try this place out. We tried few different things and both different mole we tried in chile and chicken was distinctly different and amazing. Each distinct flavors, aromas, spices, every bite had it taste and you can tell it is made fresh and from scratch everyday. I highly recommend this place. I will be coming back to try it again! read more

What a great little spot. My buddy at work told me about this spot and we stopped in for lunch between appointments. Small and old building pumping out amazing mole dishes. They received a Bib Gourmond award. What is that? Not quite a star, but most definitely not a consolation prize, the Bib Gourmand - named after Bibendum, the friendly Michelin Man and the official company mascot for the Michelin Group - is a just-as-esteemed rating that recognizes friendly establishments that serve good food at moderate prices. I tried their black mole since that was the award winner but they offer quite a few other flavors of mole. I chose chicken as the protein and it was served over white rice and sliced veggies. Absolutely delightful dish. Super fresh and flavorful. My buddy was sweating over his spicy red mole dish but he enjoyed it. Great hole in the wall. read more

Came for Mother's Day, amazing mile poblano!!!! It is very hard to find mole that meets my expectations but this was so good, I had the cheese enchilada plate, even the mozzarella cheese had a different taste to it. My wife had the portabelo mushroom mole since she is vegan and it was delicious. It's a small place but the vibe is great as well as amazing fast service. read more

This is just my personal experience and not meant to deter anyone, but for me it was disappointing and not something I would order again. I love mole and I'm very picky about it, especially when it comes to spice and depth of flavor. After reading the reviews, I had high hopes. I asked which moles were spicy and was told two of them were, but neither had any heat at all. I ordered the ranchero, which should have at least a mild chipotle kick. When I got home, there was barely any sauce--it seemed to have soaked into the rice, leaving the chicken almost dry. Flavor-wise, it was very bland: no salt, no spice, and no real mole flavor. read more

We ordered the empanadas appetizer; the zucchini flower one was my favorite but they're all decadently delicious! My friend ordered the zucchini salmon and loved it! We also ordered the enchiladas enmoladas and oh my! The mole was on point and the portions were generous! The agua fresca de pepino was refreshing and fragrant (ideal amount of sweetener, not too much, just enough to make it yummy). The agua fresca de maracuyá is exotically yummy, and colorful! Definitely coming back to try their veggie options and yes ... also their carne asada plate that smelled like heaven and beef short ribs looked perfectly braised! Saw them on the table next to us and still day dreaming about those plates. Can't wait to try both! read more

Very recently went to this place - apparently they have transitioned the name from Rocio's to La Diosa de los Moles. I believe it's the same place. Been here about a month ago, so using my same review for the Rocio's - This neighborhood gem is known for their moles. That's how the menu works too. A good portion of the menu is where you choose they type of mole and then choose the protein to eat it with. There are some other items on the menu, but I think the moles have the spotlight. The restaurant itself is not large. It is cozy and comforting though. There is some seating on the inside and the outside. Also, as soon as I walked through the door, I was greeted by a really friendly person and seated right away. It was in the middle of the week and it super busy. Being my first time, I got the popular pick: the mole Oaxaqueno - the black mole and chose to put it on chile relleno. This also comes with some of their fresh fluffy tortillas. I also got a cucumber drink to wash it down (refreshing and delicious). I'm already a big fan of mole, but I have to say this might be some of the best mole I've ever had, if not the best. The flavors, the spices... all cohesive and well blended and prepared. The presentation of the dish itself was beautiful. I really enjoyed my meal here. I definitely would love to come back and try their different moles and protein combinations. Again, since this was the middle of the week, it seems parking was really easy to find in the provided lot or nearby on the street. read more

One of the best mole restaurants I've ever been too! I found this gem recommended to me by a principal who works close to this delicious eatery. The service was wonderful because the severs are kind when they take your order and even the cooks come out to greet you. It's a small little restaurant but it's decorated with cool looking wallpaper. I highly recommend the mole poblano, but I've tried quite a few of the other moles, and I loved them all as well! read more

Went to the Bell location in 2018 and it was delicious. This time in January 2026 went to Monterey Park location and it was horrible. I ordered chicken enchiladas de mole and we're extremely dry! There was barely any mole on my enchiladas, you couldn't even taste the mole. I didn't want to send them back because I knew they would probably spit or do something horrible just for sending them back. Won't be going there again....not worth $21 for 3 dry chicken enchiladas! read more

The area is in a very nondescript Shopping Center next to a Flower shop. The waitress was nice but very new and it looks like the owner agree this at the door.

I had a cochinitas burrito was very tasty. And the tortillas are made here!!! read more

Small little place serving up different flavors of mole.Recognized by the Michelin guide of 2021 I just had to try the place out ! They share parking with two other businesses and their assigned parking only has about 5 - 6 spots .We ended up parking on a street nearby. Our waitress was nice and suggested some recommendations .We started off with the picadas , nice and hot .The Mole oxaqueño was on the sweet side while the mole verde was a tad bit tangy. For our mains I got the mole ensusiamanteles with chicken and comes with a side of rice and veggies.We also tried the enchiladas and those were delicious with the side of beans and rice. I also love how they give you a chip basket as soon as you sit down with a sample of three of their most popular moles. The plantain with tequila sauce sounded intriguing and OH MY GOSH , Please don't skip dessert! This dish had me licking my fingers ! So good and creamy with a thick caramel tequila sauce. read more

Had the Rib Eye Mole Oaxaqueno and was super disappointed. I asked for medium cooked steak. I got a very tough and very overcooked thin steak. I was sawing at it so hard. The mole sauce was pretty good, the julianned veggie portion was small, almost silly that it was on the plate. Definitely not worth the $26. BF got the chicken flautas and said it was good, but the guac portion was basically a speck. For $18 it should of been 3 instead of two. read more

Came here for the first time to have dinner. It is a very tiny place but the service was amazing and the food was delicious. Got the enchiladas with mole, they were delicious and the mole I chose had a nice spicy kick to it. Another plate we got was the chicken breast with mole. Both were very good. My daughter got the kid's quesadilla plate. It was very very big! But it was perfect for the price. Usually the price in a kids meal is under $10 and the portions are small. But since this one was $12 I really liked the big quesadilla which we ended up taking home to eat later. The only complaint I have is that in the kids salad there were pieces of fresh jalapeño. My daughter likes salad but couldn't eat it because it was spicy, I tasted it as well and can confirm the spice. The popularity of this place has gained new customers (like us) which makes me think they should upgrade their restroom. They're tiny restroom is for everyone there and it is super funky. I would try to avoid it if possible. Other than that I would definitely return for the food and the service. The guy serving us went above and beyond. Super polite and very understanding of everything and made sure everything was okay more than once. Great job! Loved that! read more

Every time I am in LA i like to try a new mole restaurant. This small venue had a Michelin star so I anticipated a delicious meal. A small sampling of the mole sauces was drizzled on the tortilla chips. From these selections I chose the cuitlacoche, described as "Mexican caviar," over chile relleno. The chile, covered with dark velvety mole, came with rice and beans. The meal alas, was nothing special. The cheese stuffing had a chalky texture and the side of beans was close to desiccated. The mole, which should have been the star of the meal, was too salty and lacked the complexity of flavors I was seeking. The service was friendly and prompt. read more

Ordered poblano mole with a chile relleno (cheese) no rice. I received a chile relleno with rice. He took it back and brought me a new plate with chile relleno with mole rojo. Still not what I ordered, took it back and brought me another chile relleno with the correct mole but not a cheese chile it had meat. Overall mole was way thin and no taste did not get what I ordered and took 45 minutes 3x and still got charged for their mistakes. Family atmosphere but lacked getting an order correct plus lacked flavor. read more
