SECOND YEAR! Te Amo Lucy’s

History tells us that a group of nuns in Puebla, trying to impress the visiting Archbishop, invented this wonderful sauce made with a plethora of flavorful ingredients: chilies, nuts, herbs, chocolate, tomatoes, onions and more - but Lucy (of Te Amo Lucy’s restaurant in Centro Historico) has surely perfected it. Not a drop is left as innumerable plates - once filled with chicken covered in Lucy’s luxurious mole - are returned to the kitchen. It’s no wonder, that Lucy takes the prize for Best Mole in Mazatlán for the second year in a row, because, Holy mole! It’s good! Even non-mole fans seem to like the mole here. (Except for the one person who couldn’t resist writing “Eww” on their ballot. Tsk, tsk!) That’s because it’s authentic, and Lucy adds a very special ingredient - a big scoop of loving care. You know, the restaurant isn’t called Te Amo Lucy’s for nothing, and it’s not just hubby-and-waiter Tony doin’ the loving; Mazatlán loves Lucy as well. We’re grateful for all the great food and sauces she prepares but are especially thankful for her mole. – MG, JB

We tried Te Amo Lucy for the first time based on the Mazzie Award. We took our entire party (14 people) and got to taste a lot of the other dishes Lucy prepares so lovingly. The mole lived up to its award as the best. Because of our large group we had the opportunity to try many of Lucy's other dishes - Delicious! As for dessert, forget the ice cream, you have to try the flan. Whether you like it or not you have never tasted flan like Lucy's; it melts in your mouth. Our family has decided this will become a regular place in our annual trip to Mazatlan. Not to leave out Tony, he kept things light and fun and more importantly our drinks and the food coming. As if we hadn't had the best time and food - we also had the pleasure of meeting Lucy.
