Mole de mayo restaurant week 2021

To continue the spirit of Mole de Mayo Festival and in following the COVID guidelines, ESDC hosted Mole de Mayo Restaurant Week, May 22-24, 2020. A total of 15 small business owners participated with their mole specials! The restaurant promotion also served to encourage neighbors and the surrounding communities to purchase mole specials for dine-in, delivery or carry-out.

  • We purchased delicious mole specials prepared by 14 Pilsen restaurants and one local renowned chef

  • We listed showeased some artisans’ products

  • We were inspired to keep the mole tradition alive and to look forward to a live event in 2022

  • We held People’s Choice via online and Best Mole hosted by the Mexican Consulate of Chicago
