Phoenix’s 17 Iconic Dishes
"Mole is relatively easy to come by in Phoenix, but it’s a hard dish to do well. Often dry or overpowering, few restaurants capture the true essence of the sauce. Where better to be blessed by proper mole than a restaurant dedicated to traditional Oaxacan cuisine? A blend of over twenty ingredients, mole includes dried chilies, nuts, and spices with just a hint of chocolate, resulting in a dark, velvety sauce that balances sweetness with subtle heat. The dish is served over a tender quarter chicken and a dollop of rice." - Mcconnell Quinn
