We were recommended to this restaurant and we are SOO happy that we did! We came on a Saturday…read morearound brunch time and seated right away. We chose to sit outside because it was a beautiful day, a few flies, but nothing too aggressive. Our waitress was bubbly, engaging and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered a variety of items for lunch. To begin our experience, we tried a mole sampler with chips and salsa. The Molly tasted rich and authentic. Then.. we tried the shredded chicken nachos...a classic delicious favorite. The Carne Asada tostada was super delicious, had just a little too much lettuce. And the Las poblanas was a wonderfully amazing mix of grilled chicken, carne Asada, prawns... and mushrooms... with both corn and flour tortillas. Soooo good. To top off our experience, we ordered their delicious caramel cream filled churros, topped with strawberry glaze, a spicy cucumber margarita and classic spicy lime margarita on the rocks! They were mixed so well and balanced perfectly. I love a delicious margarita! I would recommend this place 10 times over!!! I'm not in the area much but when I come back, I will definitely eat here again!

This was our first time dining here, and my wife and I came with a friend who has enjoyed this…read morerestaurant several times in the past. The service was good overall, but the biggest disappointment was the food. Three of us ordered the Coastal Fish Bowl, a dish our friend had always enjoyed during his previous visits. While the combination of vegetables, black beans, and cheese had pleasant flavors, the fish was the main issue. The menu describes the dish as featuring sea bass, but the fish served was actually swai (also known as basa), a much less expensive farm-raised freshwater fish. I am very familiar with swai and could immediately recognize that it was not the fish described on the menu. Additionally, the menu stated that the fish was grilled, but it was actually lightly battered and deep-fried. The description also mentioned that the dish came with tortillas, but none were provided. Overall, the menu description was significantly misleading and did not accurately represent what was served. While our experience was not ruined by the service, it was only adequate and did not make up for the disappointment with the food. A restaurant's menu should accurately reflect the ingredients and preparation methods so guests can have the experience they are expecting.

Worth the wait…read more Every time we walked near here you could hear a buzz from the many outside tables. We finally stopped and waited for a table. The food was great. Just plain great. Fresh ceviche that was a 5 on a scale of 5. Shrimp tacos that left you wanting more of the enticing chipotle sauce. It is a bit of an odd set up. Do not be deterred. This is remarkable food in a unique setting Don't hesitate.

There is lots of street parking in the surrounding area. That being said, I visit on a Wednesday for dinner so I had no problem with parking but a Saturday night might be different. I chose to eat here on a whim because it's one of the few places open past 8pm. We had no issue with getting seated quickly and we sat outside because we had our dog with us. They were kind enough to give our dog a water bowl as well. Complimentary chips and salsa to start the meal off. The salsa tasted great and not too spicy at all. I ordered the Al pastor super burrito. The burrito was hefty and filled with delicious meat and other ingredients. The burrito was only $16 which was a great deal. My fiance ordered the quesabirria tacos and while I didn't try any, he said they were delicious and he would order them again. I definitely recommend stopping by this place for a delicious meal that won't break the bank.

Great lunch spot! My…read morefriends and I were in town for a bachelorette party and needed to fuel up before a full day of wine tasting. We did walk in with a party of 11, expecting a long wait since it was a Saturday afternoon but they were able to seat us within just a few minutes. The vibe of the restaurant is modern and lively. I like that the tables are spaced out enough so it didn't feel cramped. One thing I appreciated was how accommodating the restaurant was for different dietary preferences. Our group included meat eaters, pescatarians, and vegetarians, and there was something for everyone. I ordered the grilled fish tacos with Spanish rice and refried beans. Since I'm allergic to shrimp, I let our server know, and he immediately made a note for the kitchen. I really appreciated the extra attention to food allergies. I liked that the fish was grilled instead of fried so the tacvos didn't feel heavy. It came topped with pico de gallo, shredded green and purple cabbage, cotija cheese and on the side they gave me pickled red onions and two lime wedges (dried out yikes!). The fish was perfectly cooked. It was flaky, buttery, and tender. I wouldn't change a thing about it. My only critique is that the tacos were dry overall. It needed a creamy sauce or even replace the shredded cabbage with a slaw. The Spanish rice was simple but still had good flavor. The refried beans were creamy, smooth, and topped with shredded white cheese. One helpful tip for anyone with dietary restrictions: the menu does NOT specify ingredients for some of the sides. We noticed the vegetarian plate came with whole beans instead of the refried beans served with the non-vegetarian dishes. Based on what was served, we deduced that the refried beans likely contain lard, even though it's not listed on the menu. That could be confusing for pescatarians or anyone ordering seafood who assumes the sides are meat-free. If you dine here and have dietary restrictions or food allergies, definitely clarify with your server about ingredients.

I'm rating this place solely on food…read more I ordered the burrito bowl and I'd rather have chipotle if that says anything. Dry chicken, over spicy guacamole and tons of onions. No flavor whatsoever!! If you are going to charge higher prices at least make it taste good. My husband order the Mango Mole- the sauce was flavored but the chicken was dry. The quality of the food does not match the ambiance.

So, there I was, driving down center street on my way to my haircut appt and smelled chicken in the air and noticed the plume of smoke billowing from the outside of Casa Del Mole. I asked Joel about the chicken and he told me the guy that runs it is family to his girlfriend. So what did I do? Yeah, I went over there to see what it was about. Being from Richmond, I'm use to seeing chicken, steak, etc being grilled outside of a restaurant and it's hard not to check it out when you got that BBQ aroma in the area. I met the owner, friendly guy and got an order of chicken. I did not know the chicken came with hot corn tortillas, rice and salsa.. all of this for only $14 and the chicken was FIRE, do you hear me!? Anyway, this is my third time back within a month, so that should tell you all you need to know. Go patronize this small business, they deserve all of the love and support.

The Experience: The…read moreback outside area with it's own bar is very nice. For most of the year this should be where you ask for. The Food and Drinks: We "rate" Tapas outfits by ordering Patatas Bravas. Crisp on outside, larger pieces and host and moist inside, one of the bests we have experienced - highly recommended. Others we had were: - Coroquetas: Creamy chicken Croquetas came piping hot and definitely creamy. This is my favorite whether I am in Japanese restaurants or in Tapas places. - Steamed Clams: Great and good serving. Ask for breads to go with this one as you WILL HAVE TO DIP the breads in the broth! Price/ Value: Very reasonable for this class of restaurant for glasses of wine going $14 range, and many cocktail options and many Tapas items not even hitting $20 that means you can order a variety of things. The serving volume was very satisfying sharing between two of us. This will be our new "go to" places when we are back in here which is a lot!

Service seemed nice enough and attentive enough. As much the ambiance was nice, the food was meh. The bacon wrapped dates and cauliflower were the only items we enjoyed. Pig ears were chewy instead of crispy. Nothing stood out as great. Portions were meager; the jambon and cheese was the only item we had that was substantial. With 4 items left me hungry until those mini sandwiches. At $50 per person and 3/5 items not great, can't say I'd return for food. But if someone suggested the place for a drink, I'd make a trip, after a meal.
