Hole Mole is a relative hole in the wall but man what a find it was. Seating is outdoors but as long as you're ok eating outdoors your gonna enjoy some really good food. We went for taco Tuesday and not only were the prices great ($1.39 chicken tacos) but the food delish.

Taco salad is not on the menu, but they will make it for you as it's on their hidden menu. It was only $7.99 (plus $0.59 to add chicken). I liked it as it came with shredded lettuce and cabbage on the bottom, pinto beans, avocado slices, tomato slices, pickled green peppers, and seasoned thin tortilla strips on top. I also ordered a quesadilla for my son, but we won't order it again because it was way too oily. For drinks, their horchata and horchatafe are good. They have a new mango slush, and my son loved that. The prices are right. The ambiance isn't that great. It was busy because of taco Tuesday. The workers are always kind and very efficient.

Came for taco Tuesday and it did not disappoint! Tacos range from around $1.50-$2 depending what type of meat selected. I opted to go all seafood. 3 shrimp and 3 fish. Both were great, but personally like the fish tacos better, just because the fish to batter ratio was better. Shrimp was good, but some pieces had way too much batter. Also recommend getting the fried jalapenos! Service was fairly fast for a lunch rush, the lady was using two cash registers to get people in and out. I also thought the food came out decently fast. This location is pretty small, i know the one in Costa Mesa is way bigger with better sitting options.

We had a craving for some good, not too overpriced, yummy Mexican food.....and happened to come across Holé Molé because it was close to where we were at. This place is pretty much a frestanding hole-in-the-wall "shack" located in a small strip center with very limited parking.....not the best looking premises as the buildings are quite old, not well maintained, and there was even a homeless guy just laying face down on the sidewalk outside the other shops/restaurants. Anyway, this place has a small interior where you place your order, pay for your order, then go straight iout to the outdoor patio to find a place to sit. Your order would then be brought out to you when ready. The service here is very good....the people are very nice, friendly, and helpful.....all the way from helping you choose what to order, to letting you sample some of their guac, to making sure your tableoutside is cleaned for you to enjoy your meal. So, my wife ordered the special Surf & Turf Taco Plate with 2 Baja Fish Tacos, 2 Smoked Brisket Tacos, Rice, Beans, and Yellow Chile. For me, I ordered my all time favorite Baja Burrito with hand-battered fried fish. According to my wife, the smoked brisket was "VERY GOOD," tender, juicy,, smoked perfectly, and she enjoyed it very much.....slightly on the salty side, but still very yummy. She she is not much of a fried fish taco person so she let me have them.....and yes, they were very good.....nice tender white fish fried with batter to a perfect golden brown and light crunch. Yea, the pieces of fish could have been bigger, but they still tasted yummy....especially when eaten with some of their different salsas available inside at a little self-serve salsa bar. As for my fried fish burrito.....I must say that the taste was really yummy! Everything tasted fresh, and it wasn't too salty. The problem I had with it was that when I cut my burrito in half to share with my wife, I couldn't see any fish in it, and with each bite, I could only taste the beans and rice. I think the pieces of battered fish need to be more prominent since it is the star of the burrito. Other than that, the tortilla as just perfect....it was moist with just the right thickness and springiness to it. All this went great with a side order of chips and guac. We really enjoyed this meal, and the prices were very resonable too.....much less than the $16-20 burritos that seem to be the going price these days. We will defintiely be coming back here to try their other offerings.

Best quick service taco tuesday deal around. The location is tough on parking and there's isn't indoor seating but there are tables outside. The tacos are taqueria size and the taco tuesday is the best deal you can find. The spicy red sauce is hot! We always opt for mild. Ask for lime to squeeze over their ensenada fish tacos! It's delish! Order over the phone, prices are higher online through their website.

We were looking for a place to eat that was quick, delish, and affordable for our large group. Not only did they get our order out so incredibly fast, they were so kind and friendly, and the restaurant was clean as well as the outdoor patio. We LOVED the frozen horchata, and Taco Tuesday is a steal of a deal. My sister's breakfast burrito was so good and I really liked my fish taco.
