The Mole Amarillo was excellent; rich, flavorful, and comforting. The sautéed cheese 'steak' elevated the dish, making it hearty and satisfying. It almost tasted like a curry.

From amarillo to coloradito to verde, the one that shines is the traditional yellow mole made with costeño chili. It is a masterclass in Oaxacan tradition.

The sampler included amarillo (spicy yellow). It was spectacular. You could just imagine the secret recipe being prepared by someone who knew exactly how to blend the chilis.
