The Best Tacos in Southern California

Don’t let this hard to find restaurant (its tucked among shops in a courtyard away from the action) deter you from visiting. Because once you arrive, you’re met with house-made Cultura mole with smoked pork, along with a slew of freshly made tortillas and lightly pickled vegetable slaw. Save room for dessert though, because dark Oaxacan chocolate brownies with a touch of chili and cinnamon cloaked in ganache await.

The name of the game at this Oaxacan eatery is mole. In fact, even their website address is ilovemole.com. From rojo moles to mole estofado and mole coloradito, come here for a true taste of one of Mexico’s most beloved sauces.
