Creative Modern Mexican in Eagle Rock with standout mole, duck specials, and strong margaritas; service can be slow and pricing adds up.
CaCao Mexicatessen delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by celebrated mole and creative duck carnitas, plus a vibrant bar program that draws repeat visits. However, inconsistent execution across visits—ranging from excellent to bland plates—and peak-hour service delays prevent a higher grade. The warm, bustling cantina atmosphere and loyal following position it as a worthwhile local favorite, though not among the area's premier dining destinations.
One caveat: Service can be slow or inattentive during rushes; a few reports of order errors or unresolved issues
