  • Mole Mole

    Holy Mole, I have found my new favorite Mexican food in town. Between Mole Mole and Ki’ikibaa, Portland is entering into a new era of super delicious, authentic Mexican food.

It packed a legit heat, I was sweating and clearing my sinuses afterwards. Ramen-type noodles with a warm, spicy sauce and veggies like bok choy and scallions amongst others. Very tasty,…
