"Mole"
by Dan n Roxy
(110 reviews)
October 17, 2009 - Really likes it - A nice family run Mexican cafe serving up authentic regional specialities from Puebla Mexico. The focus is on the Mole. The Pork Enchiladas de Mole Poblano are excellent as well as the Pork Loin Adobo. |

"Hidden gem in Angela's Cafe"
by hiss
(1 review)
August 11, 2008 - Really likes it - Looking for authentic Mexican? Look no further. Angela heads this family owned restaurant, bringing with her favorite recipes passed down through her family in Mexico. The restaurant is small, clean, comforting and as yet "undiscovered" which means there is hardly a wait and there are no tourists or cookie cutter menu items. The breakfast is great and the mole sauce is out-of-this world. The best thing about Angela's is that they understand the meaning of Family. Everyone is made to feel at home, Luis greets you with a smile and the rest of the family make you feel like you have been just invited to a meal at their home. |

"Mexican grandmother's kitchen food"
by JimB
(10 reviews)
October 03, 2007 - Really likes it - There is something very special going on at this restaurant right now. Angela recently came over from Puebla, Mexico (the culinary capital of Mexican cuisine) after working professionally for 40 years as a chef. Although she has a high food IQ, she brings a "Mexican grandmother" quality to her food that makes you feel as if you have an intimate connection with her as your private chef for a meal. My wife (also a Mexican) and I have been going to Angela's Cafe several times a week since it opened a few months ago. Every time we go, we are surprised with a new personal recipie that Angela has learned through generations of her family. She makes a mole poblano from scratch (even the best New York restaurants will rarely make a mole completely from scratch). She uses over 100 ingredients and it takes 3 days to make. The flavors are complex, simple, subtle and strong all at the same time. A trip to East Boston only for her mole is something you would never regret.One of the other cool things is that because they are just starting, they are kind of in between an American-style menu (they inherited an old Italian-American restaurant), and a Puebla, Mexico style restaurant. Some of their Mexican specials are on a blackboard, others you just have to ask about. She always has something new she is cooking up and they are always excited to share their creations with the customers. Some other things to try are the tinga (marinated pork), tacos arabes (carne adobada in a flour tortilla), tostadas de ceviche, or chilaquiles for breakfast. This week she is going to make pipian con nopales. Chilies en nogada are coming up within the next few weeks.There is a real buzz in the Mexican community about Angela's food and the "gringo" community is catching on quickly through the various food blogs and websites. Get in on this great place before it is too hard to find a seat! 3 people like this review Recommend |
