7 MOLES DEL UNIVERSO
6:00 & 7:00 Seatings Available
August 19 · September 30
At Manchamanteles, mole is not simply a sauce—it is a living expression of culture, technique, and time.
7 Moles del Universo is Chef Geno Bahena’s signature tasting experience, designed as a curated progression through Mexico’s regions, each course revealing a distinct interpretation of mole.
Served as a seven-course tasting menu, the experience moves with intention—from the deep, complex notes of Mole Negro to brighter, herbaceous, and fruit-forward expressions—culminating in a rare and elegant finale. Each plate is composed with precision: rooted in tradition, yet elevated through modern technique and presentation.
The menu is thoughtfully vegetable-forward, vegetarian-friendly, and largely gluten-free, allowing the depth of each mole to shine while remaining inclusive. Ancient masa techniques, seasonal ingredients, and carefully sourced proteins are woven throughout, creating a balance of authenticity and innovation.
Offered once per month in a limited seating format, this is an intimate, reservation-only experience designed for guests seeking something immersive, transportive, and deeply expressive of Mexico’s culinary heritage.
More than a tasting menu, it is a narrative—of place, of history, and of Chef Geno’s lifelong devotion to the art of mole.
