Viva in Red Hook
Frankly we're not sure if there was any mole on the menu, wasn't particularly looking for it at the time. There was a page of authentic specialties in addition to the standard entrees. It seemed a lot fresher and lighter than most Tex Mex, even if it wasn't quite a southern Mexican restaurant either.

We stopped by Viva in Red Hook for lunch today. It's at the same location as the much missed Huipil. It bills itself as Tex Mex food but seemed a lot more authentic than your self-styled Tex Mex joint. Anyway, a similar vibe as Huipil, laid back but friendly service. We had flautas de pollo and enchiladas de suiza. Both great. Well portioned, fresh, homey. Best of all, our menus advertised a free margarita with any entree, so we each had an unexpected and very delicious margarita for lunch today.
If you miss the late, great Huipil you'll want to check this place out.
