The review steers diners to the moles, with the mole poblano as the writer's favorite, and to the chile relleno, which it praises at length. A spicy chicken soup is suggested for cold days.
Mole poblano, a dark sauce of dried chiles, spices, nuts and chocolate, is associated with Puebla, and moles are also used as a filling for tacos and enchiladas in many Mexican kitchens.
