I went there last night on the above recommendation. I had Sopa de Tortilla,
a very good tomatoey broth with bits of avocado. It was tasty, but slightly
redolent of a horse stable, which wasn't all that bad, considering that
it was Kentucky Derby day.  The Mole Bueno was somewhat disappointing.
There are many mole recipes - this one is dark, thin and bitter, without
the complexity and earthiness that I like. My wife had the Pipian, made
with pumpkin seeds - quite good. On the whole, a good dinner. For mole,
the best bet is still Mixtec in Adams Morgan (IMHO, of course).
