Did you know that the origin of mole dates back to pre-Hispanic times? Before the Conquest, indigenous people mixed chiles with ingredients like hoja santa and tomato to create a sauce they called “mulli.” This preparation was used to accompany turkey or duck meat and was offered to the gods. The culture of mole in Mexico extends to more than 50 varieties, among which the black, coloradito, and green stand out. In these restaurants, you can enjoy authentic moles from different regions of the country, such as Oaxaca and Puebla. -Los DanzantesRelaxed, picturesque, and bohemian with a charming terrace overlooking the Coyoacán square.Plaza Jardín Centenario 12, Coyoacán, Mexico City.-Azul HistóricoA must-visit place to try the modern and classic Mexican cuisine of Ricardo Muñoz Zurita.Isabel la Católica 30, Centro, Mexico City.-Pasillo de HumoA simple and bohemian place, with no false pretenses, where Chef Alam Méndez continues to delight diners with his moles and traditional Oaxacan dishes.Nuevo León 107, Hipódromo Condesa, Mexico City.TIP: To give the mole a sweeter and more delicious flavor, add brown sugar, piloncillo, or table chocolate.
