Always love coming here...delicious enchiladas with mole. Always get a pitcher of their classic margaritas! A favorite to visit when family is visiting.

Great appetizers, margaritas, and mole. I'm planning on going again and again. Each dish was fully flavored and different.

loved the margaritas and food the service was good but slightly challenged by impatient waiter quick to action order rather than taking time to understand and getting it right would like to go back sometime

Amazing service! Super nice, friendly staff, the vibe was the food is good eat here! I stopped in and grabbed a Rita then was noticing all the cleared/cleaned plated around me and how good it smelled. One sip of my margarita and legit I'm sold, I'll be back tomorrow. My friend had ceviche, other friend had Diablo shrimpies, other friend had a quesadilla and I had a combo enchilada. Highly recommend food was delicious! Chips and salsa was really fire.

This restaurant has been around forever but we've never had a chance to try it. My fiancé wanted Mexican so came here tonight to give it a try. We started with the guacamole and they brought 3 salsas. My fiancé likes all the salsas, a bit spicy. I thought they were a bit vinegary . Guacamole is a generous portion with chopped tomatos on top. Very good consistency but I thought could use a pinch of salt. I ordered the combo plate of chili relleno and beef tostada. Chlli relleno cake with a very tasty sauce. Tostada was good with q slice of tender beef. My fiancé ordered beef enchilada al chipotle and loved it! He said the sauce was unique -- smoky, spicy , and very tasty. It's a bit pricey for Mexican food but it was very good. Wait staff was also very friendly. I can see why this place is so popular.

Whenever I come and visit my family in Mountain View, I always request this place. My family introduced me to mole about 10 years ago when I first visited them in California. Now, this is what I will only order when I get Mexican: Mole poblano. The restaurant is family friendly with home cooked Mexican meals. It is always very packed so it's always best to book reservations in advance. Will always come back here to satisfy my mole cravings!
