Mole

[foodieintraining]

Hello Chowhounders!

I am doing a report on Mole for a college course and as much as I wish I could cook it in my dorm I cannot. SO I need help finding the best Mole between Pasadena and anywhere in the Inland Empire. Any suggestions?

I haven't tried them, but there's a spot in the Grand Central Market down town that sells mole pastes to go. Might be worth a try and the people there might be able to help with your report.

If you make it up the coast a bit...Maria Bonita in Ventura has awesome mole sauces. They have a lot of depth and flavor. Definately worth the drive for good Oaxacan. The people that run the place are super nice and would be happy to help you out.

Guelaguetza on 8th st in Ktown is a low key, no frills, bit of a hole in the wall with amazing moles

Or for ease of parking the branch on Olympic perhaps.

I'm no expert on mole.
If you're doing a report on mole you might want to check out the different vendors at Grand Central Market that sell different mole(s) and that might give you the information you need for your report.

La Tia is the best of both worlds, traditional and exotics.

With over 15 moles, La Tia is most likely your best one-stop resource:
