Chef Geno Bahena has spent over two decades building a name as Chicago's self-styled "King of Mole," working through seven classic recipes he learned from his mother and grandmother, and Mis Moles is where that career has landed since he left Frontera Grill and Topolobampo back in 1999 — after stops at Ixcapuzalco, Chilpancingo, and Geno's Bar & Grill along the way.

Three house moles arrive at the table with chips before you've even ordered — a genuine introduction to the range this Avondale kitchen is working with.

The name isn't cute branding; it's literal. Sit down and three house moles — rojo, pipián, verde — arrive with chips before you've even opened the menu, a genuine preview of the range on offer rather than a gimmick starter. The kitchen backs that up with a real recurring special: mole rojo with duck breast, Friday through Sunday, 4-9PM. There's a patio with good shade for warmer months, live guitar some nights, and the staff has been known to build a custom kids' taco dinner on request without being asked twice.

Dog-friendly, wheelchair-accessible, and it takes reservations — book ahead on a weekend. Google has it at 4.6 stars, Yelp climbs to 4.7 across 200+ reviews of its own. This is destination Mexican fine dining that happens to sit on a stretch of Elston Ave, not the other way around.
