No Mo

I've heard a lot about mole sauce which uses cacao as one of the ingredients. I decided to order the Mole Al Verde at El Jacal. It turns out I didn't like this incarnation. The mole was slightly sweet, which was an interesting taste for an entree. But with so much of it slopped onto the dish, I could not taste very much the chicken or the cheese. Only the rice held its own. Perhaps there is a better version somewhere else in Toronto.

The service was rather poor tonight. It took 20 min. before my order of a Coke arrived. The mole took even longer but I'm more sympathetic that the kitchen service is out of the hands of the waitstaff.
