El Naranjo - South Lamar Reviews
I made a reservation to begin my wife's birthday with brunch. This was our first time dining at El Naranjo. We noticed the chef's story on social media and were intrigued.

Interesting flavors. El Naranjo is of course famous for their moles. The black mole is spicy, bitter, and intensely chocolatey. The sweet and creamy mole blanco is a great option for less adventurous palates.The complimentary bread is a sleeper hit. The citrus butter felt so light, mildly sweet, and fragrant. The salsa macha contained a delicious and complex blend of chilis with mild heat. I wish they sold jars of the salsa macha.
