I didn't know there were so many types of mole? We decided to give Los Moles a try. The restaurant is spacious with a bar in the back. After browsing the menu we decided on the AYCE option to sample the different types. The buffet starts with Pozole or Menudo, salad/taco bar, then 16+ types from vegetarian mole to traditional, and ends with Olla (Mexican coffee) and Te de Canela (Cinnamon Tea). Unlimited tortilla and chips. I tried 5 different types and my fav were mango and verde. I went back for seconds!! A great experience to try different moles without the commitment. The service was good at the beginning (we were the 2nd table) but as the lunch crowd came in and the restaurant filled up, we had to ask. read more

Came here for taco Tuesday last week and according to their website, shots are $5 and margaritas are $7 yet I still got charged full price for everything and for one of the drinks, they gave us a completely different one than the one we asked for. The bartender said the discounts start at 3pm but after looking on their website, there is no start time mentioned at all for taco Tuesday discounts. It's happy hour that starts at 3pm and that's under a completely different tab. It's not the end of the world that I paid full price for something, I just don't like false advertising or employees that don't know their own specials read more

Four of us dropped in on a Sunday early evening and scored a table right away. Drinks and dinner arrived quickly. Balanced an old school taco joint vibe with really good table service and some really solid Mexican food. This neighborhood standby really holds up! read more

Came by with some friends for a late lunch on Sunday and we were blown away by the portion sizes and taste. I got the burrito mojado with al pastor and everything was flavorful and well put together, I just wish they put a little bit more pastor. They also had some unique drinks like their guava mimosa and hibiscus mimosa which both were delicious. The self serve option looked worth coming back for its options as well. read more

I've been passing by Los Moles for years and never stopped in until we had a graduation dinner there for my niece. The main reason I never went before was the parking situation, which honestly can be a little challenging, but for this visit we found parking down the block and around the corner. The short walk after dinner ended up being nice anyway. We had reservations, although we did wait about 15 extra minutes while another party finished their meal. My family member pointed out they were enjoying drinks, so that probably added some time. The waiter was very friendly, attentive, and clearly trying to get us seated as quickly as possible. Water was brought to the table right away, and our drink order was taken promptly. I ordered the chicken salad and was pleasantly surprised to learn the mango vinaigrette dressing did not contain oils, since I personally avoid seed oils. The salad was fresh and delicious. Some of my family members ordered the buffet, which looked incredible. At first it seemed like too much food for me that day, but once I saw everything included, I started thinking maybe I should have ordered it too since it was only about seven dollars more. They brought complimentary chips, guacamole, and salsa to the table, and everything was so flavorful. The guacamole was especially delicious, and they happily refilled the chips several times. I finally understood why the restaurant is called "Los Moles" because their mole sauces are outstanding. I got to try some from my son's plate, and it definitely made me want to come back and explore more of the different mole options. They also offer vegetarian choices, which is great. Although I am very particular about cooking surfaces, my food is cooked on and in, the Mexican coffee which was heated in some type of who knows what metal, had a good flavor. It inspired me to re-create it at home. Another standout for me was the freshly made corn tortillas served with the meals. They were soft, warm, and incredibly good. I also tried the beans, which were full of flavor. Overall, this restaurant really stood out in my memory, and I definitely want to return someday to try more moles. read more

Los Moles in Emeryville is always a hit! The staff is always wonderful, and the atmosphere is nice and welcoming. I always get the crispy tacos meal with a side of habanero mole, the food tastes fresh and never disappoints. My favorite drink is the pineapple mojito!

Great food. Friendly service. Clean and welcoming. We will definitely return to try other dishes.

First time trying Los Moles and I really enjoyed the food! Most people were there for the buffet but there didn't seem to be a lot of veggie options, so we ordered from the menu. The drinks were strong, in the best way! Our waiter was very friendly and helped us decide on some options. It was pretty busy inside but the atmosphere was very fun and enjoyable. Would definitely go back! read more

Graduation Lunch at Los Mikes in Emeryville today, a Mexican restaurant that offers a selection of mole sauces. They had a great selection, and we all got something different. All the plates look great, from birria tacos, burritos, enchiladas with mole sauce, and fajitas. They served chicken, shredded beef, carnitas, and carne asada. I had the enchiladas with mole sauce. It had a lot of flavor, but i wasn't fond of the mole sauce. The service was very nice, but he was pretty busy with other tables. I was very hungry so I ate most of it, but it wouldn't be my first choice for Mexican food. read more

I tried for a 2...I really did... because I had some fantastic corn elotes. But this restaurant ROUTINELY DOES NOT HAVE LIMES OR MINT. Seriously. Margaritas and mojitos... NO Limes NO mint. I thought my friend who lives in the neighborhood was kidding when she posted on our little text thread for her birthday celebration to bring limes and mint. Unfortunately she was not, and I who make a pretty fabulous Margaritas with nothing but the real deal. Three ingredients tequila triple sec and fresh squeeze lime. Lots of it. ....wanted to try theirs... and that was that. * THEY MAKE THEM WITH LEMONS!! When I asked the staff manager, why are you running out of limes? You're a Mexican restaurant! He just kind of skirted around saying not much something about deliveries. If it was a one-time deal, but my friend says it happens not infrequently. Will not be going back there. read more

$25 for a weekend dinner buffet is hard to beat - plenty of mole and other meat and vegetarian options, including two types of soups. Flavors on the milder side but their hot salsa is very hot. Tortillas are heated on the spot for each table but very thick. Menudo soup is ok (with beef), but also lacking flavor. Rich comfort food, you will leave very full. read more

The service and ambiance was good when I went to order and pickup in the restaurant. The mole was good but it was taken away by how thick the tortilla was. The beans were fine but not great. They were lacking some of the flavor that I expect from Mexican food. Overall it was fine but I'm not going to go back due to the flavors. read more

Los Moles - Mole Mama Elena with veggies - Mexican Near Me - Emeryville, California

Street parking can be tough with the residential apartments, breweries, and other restaurants nearby. Ordered the Mole Poblano and Carne Asada burrito with chipotle mole. The food is delicious if you like a wet dish. Great selection of mole, but it would be great if the mobile apps can provide a short description for the different options and mole. For example, they list a bunch of mole but you can't tell what kind of mole it is from the name such as "mama luisa mole". My order was to-go and they don't always include the hot sauces so you gotta check and ask for some if it's not in your bag! read more

I called in for reservations for my birthday celebration in late January. Los Moles were very accommodating on the phone and when my party arrived. The service is top notch and the food?! Fire! Most of us gravitated towards the AYCE buffet that is only a weekend special. I legit tried a little bit of everything and it was all delicious. Love that they have street parking and public parking across the street. Thank you, Los Moles for a wonderful birthday celebration with your kind service and mouth-watering food for me, my family, and friends! read more

I was very disappointed in the three crispy fish tacos that I ordered through delivery. There was so much grease in the tacos and on the bottom of the carton. Fish and tortilla were super greasy. I only ate half then composted the rest. Please clean your grill regularly and don't use so much grease -- it's not necessary. Refried beans were thin, a bit runny. Spanish rice was ok. read more

Los Molés All-You-Can-Eat Taco Buffet in Emeryville: Taco Heaven on a Tuesday Los Molés in Emeryville hosts a fantastic all-you-can-eat taco buffet on Tuesdays that's perfect for families and crowds. It was a busy night with the place packed, but we got our food super quickly despite the hustle ~ impressive service kept everything moving smoothly. The variety blew us away on our first visit: tons of different meats seasoned just right, heaps of fresh vegetables, and generous portions of everything you could imagine. You can go back for seconds (or thirds) as many times as you like, and every bite was packed with bold, flavorful goodness. The horchata was a refreshing highlight too ~ creamy and spot-on. The busy, fun atmosphere made it an ideal spot to bring kids, with non-stop energy and satisfied smiles all around. We'll definitely be back for more of this taco feast! Highly recommend. read more

Great restaurant that looks like all the aunties are there making sure you're taken care of . Good space with tvs and good music to create a welcoming homey vibe. Food: I ordered the 3 crispy tacos. With grilled beef. Originally did not want to eat here considering the prices were a little high. However, after taking the first bite, I knew I was paying for flavor and fresh ingredients. The tacos are small, but with the rice and beans on the side, it fills you up quite nicely. The enmoladas: mango mole, was what my mom ordered. Originally we wanted the arroz verde, but they sold out. The flavor was nice and they do not skimp on the meat inside. Every bite is a fork full of meat. And we ordered the chicken so the seasoning was just right. After walking around IKEA for hours, this was a nice spot to relax and satisfy our hunger. Will be back, but next time I'm adding drinks!! read more

Went here for AYCE Taco Tuesday and it was a pleasant experience. Surprisingly, there wasn't that long of a wait at around 7 PM. The price of an AYCE taco is very worth it. Some may say that the tacos are a bit bland/not the best they've had, BUT the price you're paying for unlimited, decent tacos?? WORTH. They have a sauces, limes and lemons, onions and a variety of other toppings. The staff were very friendly, always cleaning up our emptied plates as soon as we finish. The restaurant is decent in size, can definitely hold large parties. read more

We are new in the area and wanted dinner before heading to the brewery. We decided to give Los Moles a try and we are so happy we did. We started with the esquites which were juicy and sweet. I had the shredded chicken quesadilla with all the fixings and my husband had the wet burrito with habanero mole. Everything was delicious! We ended up coming back the next day to try their all day Saturday buffet in which we were able to sample all their moles. All the food was tasty and the corn tortillas were freshly made. They were so warm and perfect. We can't wait to come back! read more

I've dined here several times for many occasions. The buffet is my favorite as it has a variety of meats, sauces and sides. The staff are always friendly. There is sometimes a wait depending on the time of day but it's worth the wait. I recommend making a reservation when possible to avoid the wait. The ambiance is mostly lively with music playing in the background. I'd definitely recommend for anyone looking for authentic Mexican food. read more

I always liked the food here, no problem with the food. However, the server make the margarita way too sweet, so I asked him can you re-make it for me since I cant enjoy it. Then he took it and put extra lemon juice in my drink. Make it super sour and complete destroy the taste of my drink. Then He said do you want a shot to fix it, in my head yes you suppose to fix my drink not ruin it. And he charged me $6 for a full shot , even tho i only use like half of the shot. He not even mentioned it will be charged. Then I also ask if he have jalapeno, didnt even think it will be charged as well. Feeling robbed. Really sad because my Uncle is close to this restaurant. read more

I went today, Sunday, at 1 pm. It was busy. They were offering a buffet or you could order from the menu. The food was good but nothing extraordinary. I got the mole Poblano. It was very busy. There were lots of people and there was music. It was not a great place to have a conversation. We got a table that wobbled. The staff were nice and helpful. They tried to help us stabilize the table. read more

This is an amazing spot for all! All day breakfast burrito, taco bar Tuesday, and delicious sauces and moles!! Service was surprisingly fast and helpful!

At Los Moles the door swings wide, a welcome warm, no need to hide. The room remembers who we are, two friends who've come from near and far. We take our place, time slows down, the world gives grace. No ticking clocks, no hurried schemes, just wooden tables, shared old dreams. The staff appears with knowing cheer, like friends who're always glad we're here. They pour their kindness, easy, true, into each smile, each thing they do. Then comes the glass...oh what a sight, Bloody Maria, bold and bright. A rim of spice, a fiery crown, where salt and chile settle down. Tomato-red depths catch dancing light, spice blooms slowly, warm and right. Tequila hums, low, smooth, and sweet, a happy secret we're meant to meet. And the shrimp- oh, the shrimp- curled like a blessing, perfect, prim. Poised on the edge of the world it stays, suspended in savory, char-kissed praise. Perfectly charred, impossibly tender, a flavor time itself would surrender. As if the ocean leaned right in to whisper softly, this one is special. Magical not for tricks or show, but for the care you somehow know, that someone stood and took the time to make one small thing feel sublime. We clink our glasses, laugh, exhale, trade stories old, invent new tales. Outside the world may rush and roar, but here we're safe from all of that noise. In spice and shrimp and welcome found, in friendship deep and laughter sound, we taste a truth both sweet and clear: this moment is enough right here. And without a word, the promise stays, we'll return again on future days. read more

Los Moles - Bloody Maria drink - Mexican Near Me - Emeryville, California

I would recommend there all you can eat brunch only on Saturday's. My friend Kim said we have to go and try this place so we did. The options were fantastic and delicious. I am Mexican-American and I love Mexican food. The choices were so good I ended with a taster's plate of special dishes I like. They also had menudo and pozole but I was so focused on the moles and was not disappointed. They also had side dishes of rice and beans. Carnitas were also available. After two plates, I went back for some fruit to finish off the lunch and I was ready for my nap. I would definitely go back for the $25 cost per person for all you can eat. You can also order off the menu. No reservation needed but it was around 90% full when we arrived. There was plenty of street parking on 65th street and also offer outside tables as well. read more

Still one of my favorite places to grab incredible food. Family owned and they have great pride in their establishment. Pace yourself!!! You will want to try all of the fantastically tasty moles on your first outing, but you really have to pace yourself. Try 3 or 4 at the most. And then plan to return to try more. Each and every one is really great. Get there during happy hour for added music and drink deals. And get the buffet so you can try a selection of moles, with hand made tortillas and other sides. It does get crowded though. Lots of loud fun and happy people. Friendly service and decent prices. read more
