Best Traditional Mexican Restaurants in Kearny

Mole is the sort of place you seek out in Mexico: Small, run by people who love it, based on traditional family recipes and ways. And it is aptly named. Mole is the acid test for a Mexican restaurant because it is hard to get right and when it is, it's fantastic. So was the mole at Mole, a sauce apparently prepared in Mexico and flown in. Not the spiciest I've ever had, but complex in the way mole should be. Don't miss it.

Dont judge a book by its cover. Ambience of dive bar. Shockingly great food. I had fried chicken sandwich which was really good. Better than most "top 10" chicken sandwiches I've had from around town. Buddy had a burger that looked good and he said was great. Only complaint was we could of used more fries. I gave my friend the option to go somewhere else more upscale looking when we got there, but we both decided to try anyways based on reviews. We will go again for sure. We also went at 3.00p on a Friday so it was rather quiet and slow which was great to chat.

Took a chance for a last minute anniversary dinner. Great choice! Unbelievably creative cocktails, very attentive after, and really interesting Mexican menu. Taco appetizers were good, but the other dishes - mole enchilada and guava paste tostada - were exceptional. And the cocktail were so good we skipped dessert to indulge in one more round. Great little gem (in a funny strip mall). Highly recommend.

Food was tasty, drinks were good. Not sure if A/C was low but it was a little warm in there but overall a great time.
