Easy SoCal staple that does not disappoint at any of the locations (that I've been to so far). This Hole Mole in particular is easy to find with the capability for curb pick-up. Street parking is a bit tough certain times of the day and the neighborhood is "colorful" to say the least. Nevertheless if you from this or of a similar "hood", Hole Mole surely satisfies your taste buds and being.
Outside/Inside - 4/5
Small establishment on the corner of 4th and Obispo, parking could be a bit hairy. But if you park far at least you have a pretty nice walk (depending on the time of day). For one thing, I was hit on by this lovely very-high person on the way to Hole Mole. Lo and behold she ended up showing up asking for tacos later. Bless her Soul. Seating is currently outside in the front and side. Nothing fancy to be said but comfortable for some good ol' Mexican food.
Food - 4/5
This day I got myself a Al Pastor Burrito and some Potato Tacos. The burrito I would say was about medium size in length, but surely girthy. Overall a great burrito - al pastor, beans, Mexican rice, salsa, etc. Nothing was overcooked and was enough to save half for another meal. The potato tacos on the other hand were TINY (ironically in all caps). It was like playing with legos. Nevertheless pretty good for crunchy tacos, potato, cabbage, etc. Would I get it again? Probably not. But I see the power in adding one taco to satisfy one's hunger.
Service - 4/5
Funny and nice people. This would be 5/5, but the cashier was a bit impatient and we swooped by on a lazy Sunday - maybe she had stuff to do? But overall the staff were really kind and made sure we and other patrons were dandy.
Overall - 4/5
Not anything to write home to but got the job done as any Hole Mole has done for me. Do I seek this place to impress a lady? Nada. But do I come here to satisfy those "dang I could really go for a fish taco / burrito" hungers? Sure thang.
TL;DR
- Parking could be tough, but neighborhood is nice if you park far; just mind the time of day
- Small establishment with seating outside in the front and side
- Al pastor burrito and potato tacos are good; I've had their fish tacos and recommend as well
- Staff were nice - maybe impatient, but perrty cool
