Mole Poblano Restaurant

Pretty authentic Mexican food. Tamales are good, soft, not too dry Enchiladas are great although I would have enjoyed a little more heat. Flan es BEST in town

My husband and I wandered in after spotting tamales on the menu, and they did not disappoint—flavorful masa, plenty of salsa, just fantastic. We sipped on a coconut atole while reminiscing about Mexico City- I think it’s the first time I’ve ever enjoyed that flavor. Sometimes atole can taste over sweet or artificial but this was wonderful. The tamales were so good we ordered extras to take home and decided to split the chilaquiles divorciados with arrachera. Everything was packed with flavor. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was really nice. We’ll definitely be back.

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.

Great Mexican restaurant! Happy that they're participating in the 9th St mural lightbox project. Created by Michelle Ortiz, it depicts a loving mother and child The words translate as There is always a Light on your Path. Enjoyed seeing it lit, and hope it stays up for a long while.

The food was delicious and served as a great , friendly , we are visiting Philadelphia and we are recommending eat here as a best Mexican food , we are back soon

Mole Poblano is in the great spot in south Philly. The restaurant is very small but it’s very cozy. They have also outdoor dining areas which is better than inside the restaurant. They are serving really tasty Mexican food. I ordered cactus salad and salmon en crèma de chipotle. Cactus salad was very fresh and delicious. Salmon en crema de chipotle was just excellent. The cooking temperature, the balance of the sauce, the seasoning and the presentation was wonderful. It came with rice and steamed vegetables that were also very delicious. I really enjoyed the food. Btw they served really tasty bread too. The service was really great. Colombiano was really busy inside, but he always checked on me when I was dining outside. The prices were very reasonable. I hope many people will try this hidden gem restaurant. It’s BYOB too. Highly recommend!

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. 👏
