    The best Mole in Town!!!!! I told the server I had 30min for lunch when I called and asked if he…read morecan have the food ready for when my colleague and I arrived, he said "of course" and whe. We arrived the place was fresh and hot. This is by far one of the best mole sauce I have ever tasted, its authentic has that original chocolate spicy taste and and left me wanting more. I am looking forward to future dining.

    This restaurant has popped up numerous times on my social media feeds so I decided to pop in today…read morefor a quick lunch. The place is in downtown Bakersfield and does not have dedicated parking so make sure that you plan to park in the parking garage or on the street. Luckily I was able to find something on the corner across the street at one of the busiest times of the day. The place is very small, so true to its name... It's in a very small corner of the building. It was hard for me to tell where the front desk was because there is a wall partition that goes well above the heads of anyone standing over at the counter, so I waited a few minutes before anyone noticed I was there. There were no tables on the terrace... It was full of mosquitoes anyway so I doubt anybody would want to sit there. The front part of the restaurant was occupied as well as the booth along the corridor, so I had to go sit at a very small table around the corner next to the bathroom. The menu has a lot of food options, and there are definitely options for vegetarians. They range from common appetizers to seafood and soups to Oaxacan specialties such as mole and quesadillas with Oaxacan cheese. I was super excited to try this place based on what I saw on social media and was quite hungry. Despite the place being small, it had a very busy and bustling kitchen, you could hear the activity in the kitchen, such as pots and pans, and the fryer being used. The places decorated in Mexican decor and is actually quite cute. I ordered chicken mole Oaxacan-style, which means the mole was very dark almost black. My plate came with refried beans and some cheese as well as Mexican rice. It also included flour or corn tortillas, the corn tortillas I was told were made on site so I opted for those. I ordered Jamaica but the server accidentally brought me cucumber and lime. I had a tiny sip of the cucumber and lime beverage and it was very sweet and did not taste like cucumber or lime. When I reminded the server that I ordered, hi Mika, she brought it over immediately and was very nice about it the Jamaica was better tasting. The server brought over chips and salsa. The salsa was was not thick and it was almost as if they added water to make it stretch a bit. The chips were nothing special, they like salt and they were starting to go stale. I was super excited when I got my food. It was nice and hot. The mole was tasty but not as tasty as I've had at other places and it seemed like they just put more sauce on top of a boiled chicken thigh. I am used to the chicken being cooked with the mole sauce so that it integrates with the sauce or it is served shredded and then integrated into the sauce. The rice did not seem fresh to me, it was tasty but dry like when you reheat it. The beans were OK, there was nothing special about them. While the tortillas did appear to be made by hand, I don't think they were freshly pressed and made right as I ordered my meal, even though it took a moment to get my food. The tortillas probably were made before and reheated therefore, they got cold quickly and were dry. I hope to go back and try the enchiladas and maybe the experience will be different or perhaps I can go on a day when the rice is freshly made and the tortillas are hot off the press. But today was not that day. Enjoy! PS. I forgot to add that my mole dish was rather pricey coming in at $18. Also, the restaurant charges $.75 as a service fee, I did not ask what it was for... But I will say it was not advertised anywhere at the front desk or on the menu that you would be charged a service fee. Overall, with tax, service fee and tip my meal was just under $32.
