Mole Poblano - Philadelphia

Excellent food. Authentic cuisine from Puebla. Nicely presented. Plate size is just perfect, not too big, not too small. The mole is delicious. They told me it’s made from scratch in Puebla and shipped to them. I tried the flan too. I recommend it. Also made in house. The owners cook and provide really friendly service. It is clear that they are very proud of the quality of their food.

Great service, authentic nice atmosphere great food! Loved that our hot meals came on warmed plates. The enchiladas were amazing. Can’t wait to come back!

Update 6/2024: Came back to Mole Poblano, and it has definitely become one of my top 3 favorite mexican restaurants. Pedro and Fabricio went above and beyond, providing a great knowledge of their menu. They were so accommodating and adjusted a dish to satisfy our dietary restrictions. This time, we tried the Steak Patron (limited time dish). It was out of this world. The steak was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor with a side of nice chard vegetables and guac. My boys had the double-tortilla quesabirrias with a side of consome, lime wedges, and pickled onions. The aguas frescas were as always nice and refreshing. Thanks, Mole Poblano, for making our Father's Day celebration special. Keep up the outstanding work ? ?? This hole in the wall is a gem located in the South Philly Italian Market. We got there 2 hours before closing, and understandably, many dishes were sold out (barbacoa), but the staff was helpful and friendly and recommended other amazing options. We had the steak nachos consisting of delicious freshly made tortilla chips, juicy savory steak, melted stringy cheese, jalapeños, pico de gallo and cream. I also had (Pancita) a beef tripe soup, very flavorful and hearty garnished with chopped onions, cilantro, and lime wedges. Last but not least, we had the steak tortas, which were huge. I'll definitely be back to try their barbacoa and enjoy their great customer service. Keep up the outstanding work, Mole Poblano. ?

This place was really good! When my partner and I arrived, we got complementary chips and beans with pico that started us on a beautiful food journey. We loved the spicy of the mole and the beans TRULY was delightful. I really liked this spot. Right on 9th and Washington and probably a great alternative if south Philly barbacoa is too packed or if you’re looking for something beyond tacos.

This was a spontaneous stop that we did not regret!! Wow what amazing food, even the quesabirrias that we got for free as a starter was lovely. I’m obsessed with mole and ordered the mole enchiladas, and ate until I could barely walk and it was so worth it. The waiter was very kind and attentive. Would totally go back! So many hours later I am still full and happy about eating that food.
