"The next night we ate at El Sabor de Oaxaca, where we had one of the great meals of our lives. I had mole Oaxaqueno con pollo (chicken with black mole sauce)."

Alyson Sheppard

"The restaurant El Sabor de Oaxaca, located downtown, offers a delicious and varied taste of Oaxacan cuisine. For breakfast, order a round of eggs with black mole sauce, which is made with chocolate, chiles, onions, garlic, nuts and spices. This decadent sauce might sound intimidating, but it's approachable when spread over huevos."

Michele Peterson

"This rich, mildly spicy and smoky-sweet sauce is made from tomatoes, almonds, raisins, chocolate, plantain and chilies, including the rare chilhuacle variety, grown only in southern Mexico. Dive in with a sampler platter, which includes stringy quesillo cheese, grilled meats and tamales topped with mole negro."

"El Sabor De Oaxaca features authentic Oaxacan cuisine in a lovely open-air environment just off the sidewalk along one of the main roads in and out of town. The mole here is extremely tasty, so it’s always a good idea to order anything that could be smothered with it."
