Los Moles offers an all-you-can-eat buffet for just $25, showcasing five tasty moles. They also have a regular menu to order from with seafood options and other traditional Mexican dishes. Their margaritas and mojitos hit the spot, and they have a solid beer selection too. With the generous buffet spread and decent drinks at fair prices, it was a good experience overall. I'll definitely be back to take advantage of that budget-friendly buffet again.

This place is a joke of a Mexican restaurant. I order crispy tacos to go and they gave me 3. They were pretty small. The sides were rice and beans and only 3 bites of each. It was $42.00 for 2 dinners that were tiny. I'd steer clear of this place.

We had mixed experience and the last one is enough for us to stop coming. It was a Friday night we are party of six. The restaurant was hi not even half full. it took 15 minutes before the waitress came over to allow us to order and I had to get up and flag her down. The Carnitas was dry - all the food was mediocre worst type of restaurant Mexican which is large portions overpriced for what you get smothered in sauce covering dry meat. Same thing when we were trying to get the check I had to go and find somebody and it was essentially empty. It was as if the management was completely ignoring us and that they already knew they got the 20% tip because we were party of six. That or the service staff were pissed at mgmt and just didn't care. I would not come back too many better options here for Mexican. The meal for six was over 200. That would be the last $40 tip I will ever give this establishment, not worth it

Love the Sunday buffet - great ambiance, great house tequila, buffet style Mexican food is vibrant, a great concept. Beautiful ceramic dishes and bowls. Unfortunately the food was mid and was lacking in flavor. The moles lacked heat and needed more salt. The salsas needed more acid and heat. Fruit salad was also underwhelming & not sweet, not ripe nor in season. The menudo and pozole too needed more flavor and salt. Note: the Buffett may not be peanut allergy friendly. Boyfriend who is allergic to peanuts had an allergic reaction from something he ate. Luckily it wasn't too severe, but just enough to tell he had a reaction. Didn't realize that peanuts were used in some of the dishes since ingredient listings were not visible. After some googling, we learned that peanuts are sometimes used in moles. Shortly after leaving, I had the worst time in the bathroom. I mean, it was an all day affair and my stomach was boiling. I don't usually mind having stomach issues if the food was worth it, but this time it wasn't! Overall, impeccable service and friendly staff. Would come here again for drinks.

I wish this place was better but I honestly feel 5 Tacos & Beer is much better. It’s surprising given it’s the same restaurant family. The drinks are great the food is ok.

Do not recommend for big parties or big families. We are a family of 7 with 5 little ones that didn't all eat and we were still charged a $17 gratuity fee. They not once came to our table to ask if we needed anything. We paid overpriced to have only ordered 3 meals And the food was very disappointing.

Food was good.. but it came cold on most parts of my burrito. I sent it back to get warmed. We weren't offered chips and salsa like another table who just walked in.

I ordered Mole poblano, I am from Mexico and I know mole poblano. So, unfortunately, the taste is not like the mole poblano. Please check your recipe and make it like the real one (better consistency, more chocolate, more peanuts, more flavor).Kid-friendliness: Family restaurant.

My experience is the first time I visit this place, the food is very good, there is variety, there is the option to pay for a buffet or just order your favorite dish.As for the service, I cannot say that they served us well because the man who served us in the first place did not explain the menu and the drinks very well, in the second place he was very curt, and in the third place he was watching us, walking around only in our table to see if we didn't eat something from the buffet, because 2 companions paid for the buffet and we only paid for the individual dish, which the price is almost the same. I recommend it's better to pay for the buffet.Furthermore, he didn't want to sell us a cup of coffee or cinnamon because he said that we had to pay for the buffet and not just the dish, we could only buy sodas or alcoholic beverages.Note: Personally, I think that the tip is earned by serving the customer with a good attitude; It is not the client's obligation to provide it.
