    Rainbow mole so amazing so flavorful
    Phillip P.

    Mole mole is part of a food cart corrale. The menu is huge and has various of Latin dishes.

    Tres mole
    Elliott W.

    Oh me oh my! First time to PDX and Mole Mole! Was at the top of the Eater reds list and it did not disappoint. This may have been the very best plate of Mexican food I've ever had, anywhere, anytime. I'm on a hunt for mole and wow... this mole was perfection on a plate. I loved all three! Enjoyed a beer with my meal next door at Baerlic.

    Ambiance: 7/10 eclectic. Service: 6/10 kind people Food: 7/10 very good for a reasonable price. $30 total for a burrito, mole enchiladas and salsa Chips & Salsa 7.5/10 I got seconds bc it was so good. Perfect spice. Good portions. Enchiladas: 7/10 Pink: earthy & sweet. Beautiful color from the beets. Brown: chocolate-y and sweet. Green: nutty from pistachios. Really unique flavors I'd never tried before. Beautiful colors and great way to try unique foods like mole Burrito: 7/10 great burrito, big portion, reasonable price. Delicious and filling. Plates: just look at the plates we were using. They were beautiful. I'm sure it made the food taste better being served in this.

    Nachos and a cold beer

    Stopped by for a quick lunch on the weekend. As part of a food cart pod with a lot of cover seating, this place serves up a great plate of nachos with crisp chips and fresh toppings. I will be back to try their other featured dishes. The vibe is relaxed but vibrant as part of the Alberta Art district. This is also located next to the Baerlic Brewing which is great for grabbing a cold microbrew with the meal. All in all, Mole Mole hits the mark for quality food, friendly service, and an easygoing atmosphere

    So good! So much to offer and they are fast. Service was friendly and there is some benches to sit at to enjoy your food. I loved the vibe of the area and there's nearby thrift stores to check out as well if you'd like!

    Carnitas Burrito
    Gerard Y.

    $10 for a carnitas burrito is a good deal in my book. Lots of meat in it as I felt satisfied after I finished it. I also got an horchata to go along with the burrito and I'm glad it wasn't overly sweet.

    Tres Enchiladas Plate (Chicken)
    Oscar O.

    Love this place. Came here on a beautiful Monday afternoon for lunch and the Tres Mole Enchilada plate hit the spot. The mole is packed with rich flavor and the service was very fast. One of my go to spot for lunch or dinner. A must try if you are in the Alberta Arts area.

    I saw this place on several peoples videos and more than one person had high praise for these guys. So i figured I might as well check it out because it looked great in the videos I have seen. I was not disappointed at all. Decided on the tres mole with the carne asada and it also came with rice. I have had the traditional mole but the verde or green and the rose I have never tried. So I was definitely intrigued by the two other sauces. So happy I got to try this definitely worth the trip as we were staying across town near the airport. The flavors were great with each one having a unique profile. If you have had traditional mole then you know the flavor profile of traditional flavor which I really enjoyed, then you have the green sauce which if you like tomatillo salsa you will enjoy this one. The real wild card is the rose or red sauce that is the different one that I was not sure if I was going to enjoy it well I did. If you enjoy well made Mexican food then you definitely have to try these guys out. i liked it that I did not have to add anything to it the flavors were great without adding anything. That is rare that I get a dish that does not need a little something. This dish comes out perfectly seasoned. The menu is fairly good sized so I will be going back so I can try out more of the delicious menu items. The ambiance is ok I like the neighborhood and how easy it is to walk some people may not like it , parking can be a little tricky but if you're patient you will find some.

    Quesabirria plate

    Amazing food and super fast service. Loved the outside seating with heaters. 10/10 would recommend

    Adam Z.

    I got the tres enchiladas so that I could try the pink, brown and green mole sauces. The pink was pretty weak and I didn't really love it. Similar with the green. Both also felt underseasoned. The brown one I liked and would order again, although I've also had better brown mole elsewhere. For each of the enchiladas I got carne asada. It wasn't very good. Very small bites of meat, somewhat dried out, no intramuscular fat, probably a very cheap cut of meat. The rice really stood out as excellent to me though. Nice individual grains, nicely seasoned, good amount of bite to it, very well done. I also got two tacos: one chorizo and one carnitas. The tacos themselves were pretty good. Seemed pretty fresh and stuff. Which is possibly the most important part of a taco to me, so yeah, that was pretty solid. Each of the meats were a little dry though. It also could have used some sauce. For desert I got a caramel churro. It wasn't good. It kinda just tasted like a homogeneous, overly starchy, bland thing. A little oily too. The brown mole was good and so was the rice, so I think I'd stop by to order that again if I were in the area. With carnitas as my meat; it was better than the carne asada. I wouldn't get the asada again.

    Tres Moles
    Devin R.

    Th service was very fast and it is nice that you can sit inside the taproom next door during the cold. I ordered the tres moles with carnitas and the portion was good. The meat was well cooked but the star of the show, the moles, were kind of bland.

    Birria Quesadilla
    Venecia R.

    We got a birria plate and a birria quesadilla here while drinking at Baerlic Beer Co. This walk up Mexican food place is right next to this brewery and easy to order online and pick up. The food was so delicious and very synthetic. The birria was juicy and flavorful. I wish I ordered more quesadillas!

    Chicken Pozole
    Erika C.

    This pozole was unreal!! So flavorful, slightly spicy and plenty of shredded chicken then served with a generous portion of tortilla chips. The colorful, custom bowl and plate were just the icing on the cake! The perfect meal before boarding our plane back home to Boston!

I was excited to go here as I had been meaning to visit for at least 6 months. I wasn't disappointed. This taqueria is the real deal, and very authentic. I also appreciate it's LGBTQ owned, and like to be inclusive in how I spend money. The tacos are amazing I had two there, and took two home. They were all delicious and not one disappointed. Their taco menu is very extensive, and it's nice that they have a lot of vegetarian options as well. One of my favorites was the one with mole ,and poblanos, also the chicken one, also the carnitas. Flavors so rich and satisfying. The staff is very friendly, and helpful. Extremely quick service which I love. Even though I only speak a little bit of Spanish. I tried, and they were very welcoming. They are fluent in Spanish. I knew it was an authentic taqueria when I heard a native spanish speaker speak Spanish at the counter. I don't want to leave out their drinks as they have quite a selection both alcoholic, and non alcoholic. I tried the horchata, which was amazing. I have been craving Pozole for a long time, and they had it as a special chicken with green sauce, and pork and a red sauce. Both simply amazing and a great deal. This restaurant is very reasonable, and you get quite a lot for the money. Last but not least I can't forget the ambiance which felt very authentic, and reminded me of being in a Taqueria in Mexico or Southern California. the place is decorated very thoughtful with a lot of candles, and many shrines. They also have a love of Mariah Carey and saw many photos of here in the restaurant. They have both outdoor seating and indoor seating. A lot of plants outside which all seem very happy and well cared for. I love this place, and will be going back for sure. The place is very casual which I appreciate.

I have had some meals at the bar where the bartenders were genuinely engaged knowledgeable and happy to walk you through their agave list which only enhances the whole experience. I will be honest and say that the service can sometimes lean into the typical Portland vibe of aloof and uninterested but there have also been moments especially at the bar where the staff really shines and makes you feel welcome and taken care of.
