Mole poblano · San Antonio
Mole poblano is a deep, complex Pueblan sauce of dried chiles, spices, nuts, seeds, and a little chocolate, simmered for hours and ladled over chicken or turkey.
Mole poblano comes from Puebla in central Mexico, and its arrival on San Antonio menus reflects the city's interior-Mexican thread, distinct from the Tex-Mex mainstream. Long-running rooms that lean toward interior cooking, like La Fonda on Main, keep mole on the menu as a marker of the broader Mexican kitchen that sits alongside the city's Tex-Mex identity.
