Chef Alonso teaching travel bloggers how to make mole poblano with a chunk of chocolate up front
Puebla, Mexico is the birthplace of the famed mole poblano sauce. Runaway Juno is hosting another round of the travel blogger photo roulette. The theme of this week’s contest is “sweet.” I can think of nothing more sweet than a gastronomic wonder from Mexico with chocolate as one of the ingredients in the sauce.
Delicious homemade mole topping rabbit from El Sueno in Puebla
On a trip hosted by the Mexico Tourist Board, our group enjoyed this fabulous concoction at several different restaurants including El Sueño, Mesones Sacristía, and El Mural de los Poblanos. The restaurants make the sauce right in there own kitchen. There is no ordering out for bottles of sauce or ingredients here as everything is homemade, fresh, and delicious.
Here are a few photos from my trip to Puebla, Mexico featuring the delicious sauce. Since the subject is sweet, I threw in a tamarind martini as well.

The finished product is pretty sweet
This trip was sponsored by the Mexico Tourism Board, but this post, opinion, photos and love of the sweet mole poblano sauce is purely my own.
Stay tuned,

The mole is not spicy at all. The peppers used are all mild.
Your photos are mouthwatering. I’ve only had mole once – in Tucson – and loved every bite of it.

Thanks Leigh,
I have had it in Chicago and it was good, but not as tasty as the sauce made on its home turf.
You should try more traditional restaurants instead of modern and fashion new restaurants I believe the only one witch has no relation in this knowing or meeting the mole is el sueño the other two are ok but I think there’s a lot more you should know and compare. One of those is my heritage Nevados Restaurant & Bar Since 1921 and since then we make an remarcable mole poblano sauce and also I think you should try Colonial Hotel which I think is my real competence. Just saying and it’s because I try to let you know the real mole poblano flavor.

Thank you for the tip Darío. Next time I am in the area I will check those out.
A great post. Thanks for sharing.
