I had requested that we be seated near the front window. However, the host insisted on seating us (6 people) in the back room. I immediately noticed a very unpleasant smell (like a moldy cellar), but didn't say anything until after we were finished, as my sense of smell is stronger than that of most of my friends. When I finally said something, two of my friends said they noticed a musty smell. For me, it pretty much ruined the meal; I want to smell the food, not the room I'm in. The food was good, the service excellent, but I will probably never go back.

We each ordered mole. Both were quite good but I think the mole poblano was better than the mole mama Elena. Drinks were a little pricey. Churros for dessert were super tasty. Nice place. We’ll be back to sample some other moles.

We had a great experience at Los Moles for lunch to celebrate a coworker. The staff were able to accommodate a large group last minute. The food and service was great. The aqua frescas were delicious on the hot day!

The ambience is a basic Mexican restaurant which could use some sprucing up and more thorough cleaning. The music was spirited but a little too loud for carrying on a conversation indoors with an ‘inside voice’. Those observations aside, the menu is extensive and has many dishes you don’t normally find at Mexican restaurants. The prices are higher than other Mexican restaurants but the portions are very generous so the value is there. I would recommend the restaurant and plan to go back again when in the area but might opt to sit outside if the weather is warmer.
