this place is an experience in the best way. managed to get an early reservation on a friday night (heads up, they’re busy!) and so happy we did. service was super attentive, friendly, funny, and thoughtful. we sat at the high top with a view of the kitchen and bar which was a great time. and the food: delicious. we had the no carne versions of the tamale, coliflor, mole molido, and enfrijoladas and each was a delight. they were timed as courses perfectly and all had distinct flavors and notes. the margarita and mezcaltini were both on point. but then listen: the chocolate tres leches cake. I would go back for that alone. give this place a try, you’ll understand when you’re there.

Never have had a disappointing meal here. Staff is extremely accommodating and personable. Food can sometimes be salty (which I don't see as a bad thing). Veggie empanadas are some of the best. Good for vegetarians and pescatarians.

What a gem! The food is simply outstanding. Perfect empanandas, Amazing tamales with artichoke filling, and the carnitas were off the chart. Will be back!
Very good "true" Mexican joint in Belmont. Get some empanadas! The classic margaritas are fantastic as well. This being said it's def closer to $50/head, the review score here must be out of date (we spent even more than that, but we did get a few rounds)

We were seated quickly by a very friendly staff member.I got the margarita and it was lovely. Well balanced, with a salt rim that wasn't too heavy.We got a tamale first and that's when I knew we were in for a treat, the masa was so smooth, the chicken soft and the sauce was incredible.This was one of those silent table kind of meals. We were too busy eating for conversation!Next we got the mole negro, which we got with chicken, and oh God. It fell off the bone, the sauce was incredible, warm and comforting and complex with a sweet heat that built up to be perfect. I could eat this all day!Overall, this place has fantastic shareable portions of amazing Mexican food in an adorable little restaurant.

I love this place so much. Absolutely delicious food made from fresh and simple ingredients. The enfrijoladas, sopa de elote, carnitas and coliflor are our favorites. Also the tres leches and housemade agua frescas! The service is excellent, friendly and fast. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. I always want to come here for special occasions and for a treat night out. Thank you for sharing your amazing cuisine with Charlottesville Con Mole!

The food was hit or miss, and mostly overpriced. The mole dish was good, but the tamales were watery and mushy. A $5.00 side of vegetables was tasty, but small. The margaritas were great - maybe even worth the price! No complaints on the service!

Great food, great service and great vibe.Best mole I've had outside of Mexico. All-star dishes include the carnitas and the pulpo. Both are perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Spicing is there, but not overpowering. The point is flavor not showing off max capsaicin.Drinks list is short but solid. Same with the overall menu. This is about quality not all-you can eat corp Tex-Mex big box. Apps: Reservations via Resy (recommended as this place is super popular). Limited (No Take out Fridays and Saturdays) online takeout orders via Toast.

We were referred here for dinner by a friend in town. Making the reservation I was a little put-off. I am bothered by a restaurant that wants to charge you for a cancelled reservation and takes a credit card. I am also bothered by a time-limit for dinner with friends. I understand the need to turn tables over, but if I am having a meal and drinks with friends, I don't want to be rushed by the establishment. I also understand that if a restaurant is small, holding a table for someone puts a burden on them. However, if the food is good, there will always be a walk-up to take the table. Those things aside I thought the food was good, but not great. They seem to have a "tapas" style delivery system that forces you to buy many things in order to have enough to eat. I am not a big eater, but when you are sharing with another couple, the food doesn't go very far. I assume you can get a regular meal, but it isn't really encouraged. I felt that we had to order more things for everyone to get enough to eat. They also don't allow substitutions of any kind... again, feeling controlled by the restaurant. The dishes we had were interesting (except for the undercooked shrimp) and the staff seems to be nice and friendly, but I will probably not go back. The restaurant gets very high reviews, and I am sure that there are many people who appreciate the atmosphere and the food. It just isn't my style and there are many other places in the area that are better.
