    Mole samplers with the chips

    I'm glad I gave Mis Moles a try--the mole itself was excellent and reminded me of my grandma's. However, the enchiladas were disappointing, with far more cheese than chicken despite an added $6 charge for the chicken. The beans tasted off, though the rice was fresh and well prepared. The Agua de Jamaica was a highlight and done very well. Unfortunately, the dining experience was affected by the restaurant's condition, with run-down bathrooms and insufficient air conditioning making the space uncomfortable. I'd order take out next time!

    YUM!!!  We came here on a weeknight with our family of 10 (two small children included) and the ladies were so nice! There were what seemed like one lady to be working the kitchen and one lady working the restaurant taking orders/making drinks. They both did such a wonderful job taking care of us and we did not feel like our service was slow and all our orders were correct! Drinks: the drinks are definitely tequila forward. Nothing fancy about the tequila that is used but I personally like the borracha as my favorite drink. Food: GET A MOLE DISH. The mole is not spicy but it just had such a great deep flavor to it. I opted to get corn tortillas, which I don't normally do, but I am so happy that I did because the corn tortillas were thicker so that they can soak up the mole sauce.  Dessert: all the desserts are so yummy. You cannot go wrong. The Choco-flan was my favorite.  Overall vibe: super cute decor on the inside and has a family owned restaurant vibe! So welcoming

    Enchiladas Mole Rojo

    Six of us came here on Sunday at 6 pm to celebrate my birthday. The place was empty, we had the whole place for ourselves, and that was wonderful for us!! The service was fantastic and the food was excellent. Chips are crisp, thin, and delectable slightly earthy, with corn flavor with subtle spices, served with different moles. I had the enchiladas mole rojo which shared with someone in our group who ordered the enchiladas pipian. Both are excellent choices, I prefer Mole Rojo, and I like bold flavors. Everybody in our group was very pleased with our appetizers and shared ceviche and chorizo queso fundido. Both were plenty for our party of 6. Everyone was happy with their dinner - CAZUELITA DE CARNES, CHILES RELLENOS, Mole Rojo Beef - For the birthday candle, I tried the chocolate tamale with ice cream. Creative, and different, I enjoyed it, and will try something different next time. The combination of corn masa and chocolate was a bit off for me. I don't know why the place was empty, because the food was really good, perhaps because it was Sunday,

    We came here on for our anniversary and it was wonderful! We made reservations but they had plenty of space on a Tuesday evening and we sat outside which was very nice. First they bring you chips with salsa and different moles to try which is so much fun and you also get to figure out which mole you would like with your main. My favorite was the red mole so I got chicken enchiladas with that kind and they were delicious! My husband liked the green mole and got that for his chicken dish. I also liked the green mole and the salsas but the other moles were not for me. The beans were underwhelming in these dishes. We also ordered guacamole and drinks which were all good. I got a margarita and my husband got a michelada. We recommended this place to my parents who didn't like it as much. My dad got the Al pastor and was disappointed but I think he may have ordered the wrong thing.

    Mis Moles is an Avondale treasure! From the start, they provide samples of the three moles they offer to help you decide which is your fave. The drink menu has it all, and the service is top notch. Thank you for all that you do, Mis Moles staff!

    This place is the best! Great environment, location, the establishment itself is extremely well kept, nicely decorated and extremely clean. The staff was very friendly and attentive, checked in on us frequently to make sure we didn't need anything. They served us chips and 5 different types of dipping sauces - the food was delicious. Will definitely return with family members or friends.

    I was craving mole, and searched best mole in Chicago, Mis Moles came up so we decided to give it a try. Very authentic and they let you sample the moles with some chips before you order. Great homemade chips, homemade corn tortillas, moles were all delicious. I orders the mole verde which was very flavorful and my boyfriend ordered the cochinita pibul. We also ordered the ceviche. Good service and cute little spot.

    TL;DR- go and try their moles! I am typically not a fan of moles but these were so good and I support this local family business! Saw this place listed as best margarita in Illinois from a blog by Yelp. We were up for some margarita on National Margarita Day at another place but made last minute changes to come here after seeing the list. Checked out biz on Yelp and wasn't sure if I can trust the 5 star rating since it's so rare. I had some doubts in my head but after dining here, I give an honest 5 star myself! Drinks- regular margarita $10 I wouldn't necessarily say they're the best I've ever had, but they were tasty. I ended up drinking 3 since I was having a good time! Passion fruit margarita $12 it was too sweet for me so I ordered regular thereafter Service- owner was there alone on the floor since I went fairly early. I can hear her passion with her moles and she took care of us well. Later in the night, her daughter came to help out. They were very friendly and love the pride they have of their own store. I support this family business! Food- chips & salsa (complimentary) i prefer my chips thin so these were perfect. We were served with regular green verde sauce on the side (which I typically love but we didn't even touch it here because the others were so much better!). On a platter of red mole, green mole, and mole. Let me tell you, I'm typically not a fan of mole and would not order it. But these moles were so flavorful. Enchiladas- I wanted to try enchiladas and she even recommended for me to try it with green mole sauce and it was so good! It had an unexpected kick to it but I'd definitely order again. Quesabirria- my friend ordered it and I want to try it next time.

    This is NOT the same Mies Moles as Mr. Bahena; they are using the name and reputation as their own. Extremely subpar food in comparison.

(inquire about the 4% service charge added) No rice or beans with any of my parties' dishes, not sure if that is an option. Time to be seated was less than five minutes for a party of four around 2:20 PM on a Sunday; busier times or days enforce their 90 minute time limit policy per table. The food was well seasoned, wish I tasted it a little more on the meat itself, yet all the vegetables tasted crisp and fresh. If you are looking to have intimate conversations be prepared to speak a lot louder, the DJ booth by the front keeps it pretty lively, but difficult to hold conversations across the table. Open authentic Mexican soda is always refreshing, and if you're looking for a place that has soft serve margaritas this is one of them. If you notice and unusual wait time or slow service please make your choice accordingly as I started to notice it was a case by case basis like some of the previous reviews had mentioned.

Both adults and the VERY picky children in our group all enjoyed our meals. I ordered the green chicken enchiladas and the other adult ordered a chile relleno combo, which I also got to try. Everything was delicious and devoured by all! We were so full but the owner talked us into the chocoflan, and we did not regret trying it. It was soooo good! Speaking of the owner, the service was great. We really enjoyed how he and the rest of the staff were very courteous. It is a small establishment, and it gets a good amount of people, so I assume that there are waits during peak hours. I highly recommend Sabroso!
