Review: Mi Mero Mole

This is a medium-sized Mexican restaurant with two locations in Portland, one at Division in SE Portland, and another in Chinatown. We came to the Division location on a Sunday evening at about 6PM. You order at the counter and take a number.

They serve mainly guisados (stews) with tortillas. We had the Butternut Squash in Mole Poblano, the Mushrooms in Mole Amarillo and the Rajas con Crema, all vegetarian, as well as horchatas. The service was quick and friendly, though you’ll have to get in line again if you need anything extra.

The food was very filling, delicious and not too spicy. I’ve had some pretty bad horchatas – watery and bland. These were refreshing and flavorful. A bit more variety on the menu would be nice but overall this was a very nice dinner.
