someone at work recommended that i try la cabanita in the montrose area for good mexico-city-style mexican food, including good mole! i must say, i was really quite happy with it. i had the enchiladas de mole (above) and a taco arrachero and taco placero (below). i really like their mole sauce! i never liked mole sauce, then i had amazing mole in mexico a couple years back, and the thought that went through my head was "IS THIS WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE? IT'S AMAZING?!" so, this wasn't quite that mind-blowing, but it was really quite good. maybe i should go on a search for good mole in this city, i've definitely heard there are a couple places worth trying.. then again, i know next to nothing about mole.
james ordered a combination that came with chicken soup - odd choice, but surprisingly delicious! - an enchilada with mole, rice, beans, and a taco. he also ordered a second taco de cochinita. everything was super tasty, and we're both very glad to have been introduced to a great new mexican place (though, it is not new at all, and has been around for a long time, and even has quite a reputation we found out, so shame on us for not knowing about it sooner).
