Editorial Review
Original regional restaurants like this are testament to the astonishing culinary bravado in the Bay Area: Oaxacan cuisine is largely undiscovered, but created here with care and pride. For example: the rich mole negro sauce that accompanies many dishes is handmade from 23 ingredients - each toasted, roasted or sautéed before ground into gravy. Everything on the menu is from area farmer's markets. Get the Fiesta de Mole with four molas: negro, colordito, verde and amarillo. Colorful spot tucked on a side street is small but cozy; call ahead to make a rezzie.
