Try the Sonora (Chile Colorado)! Lean pieces of bite-size beef braised in a delicately puréed sun-dried peppers and herbs sauce. Rings of raw (or sautéed) onions on top. Amazingly tender!

The Serrano & Pollo Negro are two of my favorites. Also, the pomegranate margarita is delicious but very sweet. That being said, I haven't had a margarita or a dish here that has not been great.

Bayard Brewin

Cheery family-friendly TexMex set back from El Camino Real (look for Statue of Liberty in front). Gets crowded / limited parking but is well worth the stop. Huge margarita / food menu.

PRO-TIP: order a sauce sampler before your meal so you can try before you buy! Mole , nueva , chipotle, verde, adobado/sonora, guajillo and red sauce .

Angelica Delgado

Good atmosphere. The Mole was authentic and savory. The Triple X drink was excellent. Peach Maragrita was was too sweet an heavy and was overpowered with a nectar purée sourly sweet taste .

Varun Nagaraja

The best Mexican food . From the salsas to pollo guajillo to mole enchiladas , it was the most flavorful versions of these dishes I have ever had.

Logan Frahm

Chicken soup is amazing! The broth is so good! Good service , drinks, atmosphere. If your into mole very good. Rest of menu average

Sabana Invierno is so good it has been my staple here for years! Also they do serve some mezcals but they are not on the drink menu so if you like that sort of thing all you have to do is ask :).

Nirav Chitkara

Nice cozy atmosphere and great food! To top it off the al sol margaritas were amazing! Highly recommend for anyone looking to get away from mainstream Mexican cuisine .

Bob G

Pretty good Mexican food . I enjoyed everything I ate including the Sonora, pulled pork with adobo sauce. The diosa de la sol margarita was awesome! The service for our party was pretty good.

Shannon Madison

It's the Big Sister of Fiesta del Mar and LA Fiesta. Slightly more upscale with the same great family recipes .

Rom Com

The Guajillo chicken was delicious -- tender and flavorful chicken . They also had Negro modelo on tap ! Order it with lime . Guaranteed to make your day better.

Dr J

Best Mexican restaurant in Silicon Valley! The margaritas are the BEST.

Shannon Madison

Did you know that they have a dedicated Mole chef who comes in and spends his entire shift JUST carefully crafting his mole for hours and hours.

Doug Baer

Fantastic food, drinks, and service. I had the Enchiladas Al Guajillo last time... Amazing!

Jason Vitug

If possible, make reservations . The atmosphere was intimate and the food delicious. Nacho chips and salsa were a plenty.

Amy B

D-LI-CIOUS! Don’t fill up on chips . Easy to miss as its set back.

Chris Gregan

Mole is top notch as are the pitchers of the house margarita

What's good here? Everything! - service, ambiance, food

Chris Calo

The Goddess Margarita and mole enchiladas . The salsas are also quite nice.

Kevin D.

Try the "verde" Margarita while you're here. They taste even better then they look!

Natalia Goreva

Try Pollo Negro with flour tortillas ! Amazing dish!

Lisa Gasink

The Sopa Azteca is outstanding!! Order the cheese and tortilla strips on the side - you'll probably have soup leftover (and soggy tortilla strips aren't as tasty as crunchy ones!).

James Vertisan

The food was fantastic and the decor is amazing. A wonderfully romantic restaurant to take a date.

Mole for the win.
