moles

I think that’s a bit like examining funny-looking moles on a headless body: real things, but not the main problem.

Silken, rich and fragrant with spices, Guelaguetza’s moles are a thing of beauty in all their colors and flavors.

The James Beard Award-winning Oaxacan restaurant in the heart of Koreatown cooks up a rainbow of moles and dozens of other regional specialties, and thanks to the restaurant’s retail line of mole starter pastes, imported chocolate, bags of masa and dried beans, so can you.

There’s Claro, an Oaxacan restaurant that makes everything by hand, including the masa, cheese, chorizo and moles.
