    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.

    Enchiladas de Mole February 2022

    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.

    I have been wanting to come here for a very long time now, but for some reason I was never able to squeeze this place is. Part of the reason maybe because my wife isn't into Mole that much. So I guess I mainly came to splurge myself. Parking was tough to find so I got worried that the place would be packed, but unfortunately for them; it was a quiet night for them, and fortunately for us, we were able to get seated right away. We started off with their their Sopes Surtidos "Xilonen" appetizer. Once we received these, this place started reminding me so much of Sol de Mexico in Belmont Cragin. And now I know why there is so much resemblance. Sol de Mexico is run by Chef Genos mother. Chef Geno of course worked at Frontera Grill and Topolobampo with Rick Bayless, and his mother was the Bayless nanny. We received 4 little sopes each with a different topping. One was woodland mushrooms with epazote. I was hesitant in even trying these because I've never cared for mushrooms but damn these were so good. The others came with chicken in red mole, Fried sweet plantains covered in sour cream and the other with chorizo and black beans. All where phenomenal and the sope was cooked perfectly. My wife ordered their sopa Azteca. A dark broth with chile pasilla covered in tortilla strips and came with chicken, avocados and cheese. I prefer the more red clearer version of tortilla soup style over this, but it was still tasty. They had four different moles to choose from. I've always been more of a spicy mole guy, so I opted for their mole nego, but I kind of regretted it afterwards because this is the version my mom makes, and I need to start exploring other sweeter moles. I did enjoy the hell out of this mole thought. It was served with grilled chicken and then mole negro and rice and served with warm homemade tortillas. The mole was very flavorful and completed the chicken and rice perfectly. And then you add some homemade tortillas and damn baby! Mexican comfort food at its finest. They do however only give you three tortillas which I thought was weird, but If you need more just ask, and you'll get 3 more warm tortillas in no time. I hope their other moles taste just as good as this one. Their customer service was also fantastic. Our sever was very welcoming and personable. Made us feel right at home and even made us feel good about our food choices. My only complaints, which I won't knock them down for; is their music selection. Went I go to a higher end Mexican restaurant, I want to here some Mexican classics, some mariachi or some banda. But instead they played salsa or merengue. Play some Mexican classics please! My other complaint is that in their restaurant name on the menu, they're considering themselves a tequila and mezcal bar, but their offerings isn't exciting. Very boring simple stuff that I have at home and have no interest buying at a restaurant. I'll be back for the food though!

    My husband and I have eaten at this restaurant several times but today's dining experience was inconsistent with previous ones. Although the food was highly enjoyable, the service was very disappointing and fell short! Upon preparing to pay our bill, we notified our waiter about a promotional discount and wanted to apply it to our check. As you can see from the photo, the promotional code is clearly applicable & valid for Mis Mole and was purchased via Discounts Dining today. Unfortunately, we were told by waiter that the owner (who didn't even come out to address the matter personally) would not honor the discount--how unprofessional & a lack of credibility. A great product is important, however, if Service is compromised, then the best product means nothing! This compromise has caused my husband & I to reevaluate this business. At the very least, restaurant owner could have addressed the matter personally (as opposed to hiding behind the employee). Not doing the right thing has cost this once deemed a stellar restaurant, one who lacks integrity and honor! Moreover, we will not return here nor will those whom we referred. Profit over people is never the answer!

I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it. So savory, flavorful, comforting, and packed with crispy carnitas on top with the eggs and pickled onions... literally unreal. And then the skirt steak tacos absolutely stole the show. The steak was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and paired so perfectly with all the toppings and sauces. Every single bite tasted fresh and homemade in the best way possible. And can we talk about the ambience for a second because WOW.

Served on a bed of cucumbers, it was visually beautiful, and the flavor was fresh and complex. There was also a LOT of it. We ended up taking some home. Entrees were steak and shrimp for me, and Tampiquena for my friend. In both dishes, the steak was done to perfection. The sauce that came with my shrimp was spicy and deep--lots of flavor layers there. Both of us took home portions of our meals because there was a lot of food on the plates. Finally, the service--the servers are attentive without hovering. If we needed something, they were there, but never intrusive. It is hard to believe this is a little neighborhood spot, given the service and the quality of the food. It was not too busy tonight--we ate early--but I recommend reservations.
