Underwhelming Mole — expected more

I was looking forward to Mole here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The complex and layered with chilli character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with Mexican chocolate or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

Mexican cuisine is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The an Oaxacan restaurant setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. mezcal was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
