There are certain dishes I use to evaluate ethnic restaurants. Sag paneer at Indian, CFS or pies at a diner, pad thai, etc. Mole is my measuring stick for Mexican and Casa Mendoza in Three Rivers, CA nailed it. Spicy, but didn't overwhelm the chocolaty hints good mole should have.
And Marina was going nuts in the Valley for mandarin oranges, so we stopped and she bought 30 pounds!
Can't beat fresh!
Guess it's a good thing she likes mandarins! That's a few weeks worth of fruit for fruit bat.,
