All I can think of that area is red iguana, which I adore but get to have far too infrequently

I was never that impressed with red iguana. Found it very meh and over-hyped.

What were you expecting from it and what did you order? I mean what was the hype?

Their food is very good. The price and serving size is very reasonable. They offer something like 6 or more moles. That's what makes them special. That's their thing. And the moles are good. They also have very above average waitstaff for the price range of their food.

Only down side is how crowded and how long a line.

Exactly. Hyped for all of that and I just found it to be ok. Have had better moles, to me theirs all tasted very similar. Have had better Mexican food in general. Prices were decent. Just didn't find it to be that great yet it always gets thrown around as one of the best in the state. Have been there a dozen times or so, because it is decent and I have friends who cannot get enough, and i worked near there for a while. I've always just seen it as another of the many pretty good Mexican joints in the area

Yeah, that's what it is. But they produce consistently good quality food, have a line out the door all the time and still charge $9.95 for a dinner plate. I give credit to a place that never serves stuff below a certain standard. If people make it out to be life altering food that's on them.

So, where's the better mole place? I'll go there tomorrow. I mean it's so easy to find 6 varieties of mole that is better than theirs, I'll have some.

Look, sorry for being defensive. I am being defensive, I get that. But why hold it against them when all they do is serve the food they serve, don't go crazy thinking they are hot **** and charge $25 for a plate of tacos smothered in mole, instead they serve a very similar menu to what they had 25 years ago.

And you didn't say what you ordered. Just "I had their moles and I've had better." Like you've been there a dozen times or whatever, what did you order? They have plenty of meh on their menu. But for I think it's $12 the Tacos Don Ramon is really good. Their fish tacos are good. Get the carne asada burritos and add the jalapeno mole, it's good. Not one of those dishes cost more than $15. You be served by someone who takes waiting tables seriously. Your food will come out of a kitchen that will never send out a sub-par ****ed up plate. They aren't pretentious and they aren't acting like their food is something it isn't. I mean what makes a restaurant good? To me they are very very good.

When my sister comes to town we always go and she insists on going to the original location, but I'm perfectly happy going to their other location a block and a half away. It's usually quite a bit less busy. Plus it can much more easily accommodate larger groups and or single guests.
