First time trying Pozole, it was amazing! Very flavorful and full of ingredients (chicken, pork). Chicken mole was average, a little pricey given the portion

Fabulous mole and pozole. Delicious salsas and homemade tortillas, too. No skimping on portion size or flavor here. Wonderful!

Cute little shop. Mole was pretty good, lacks depth, but not overly sweet, and spices are pronounced. Al pastor tacos were bomb! The beef fajitas was a bit dry, but still decently tender. The corn tortillas here are really good!

I really like mole and one day I went on google to find the best mole in town and guess what .. this place came up, so I decided to go try it out. Wow ! I have ate mole in many places but this one place is on another level. I ate the mole poblano and the taste was great but also the chicken was nice and tender. I took home left over chicken mole and I microwaved the second day and let me tell you, the chicken tasted just as tender as the day I purchased…Yummmy

It’s a hidden gem in a small strip mall in San Jose. They have the best mole sauce. We went on Christmas Eve for lunch. Even though it was a to go only the girl on the counter allowed us to dine in.

The seven Gods know it's hard to find a good cochinita this side of the Bay Area, but this one's the real deal! You don't know what Cochinita is? Is the spiciest, softest, flavourful pulled pork you ever tasted. Wash it down with a dark beer.
