Eat, Drink, Dance!

Join us for another night of food, drink, music, and dancing at the Santa Cruz Food Lounge.

Please be sure to RSVP! It helps us estimate how much food to prepare.

What's the deal?
DJ Itziar will be curating the music, the Food Lounge bar has beer, cider, wine and cocktails—all locally made! and we'll be running the kitchen. The Food Lounge is located at 1001 Center St in Downtown Santa Cruz.

When's dinner?
Service runs from 5:30 to 9:00** pm.
** Unless we sell out sooner. Note that at our Cinco de Mole event in May, we sold out of food in about three hours. We encourage those planning to eat to arrive before 7:30.

What's on the menu?
Appetizers/sides: mole nachos and cactus and kale salad
Entrees: our new mole platters—pork shoulder, chicken, or roasted summer vegetables served on a bed of 7 ancient grains & topped with sautéed greens.
Vegan and gluten-free options will be available.

About us

What is mole? One way to think of it is the Mexican version of a curry made with a variety of nuts, seeds, and spices. Many people know mole as a chocolate sauce, but cacao is one of the many ingredients found in some moles. Our mole has 25 ingredients!

My Mom's Mole is one of the over 30 locally-owned businesses that operate out of the El Pájaro CDC Commercial Kitchen Incubator in Watsonville. Read more about the kitchen and its many businesses in this 2016 story from the Good Times Santa Cruz: http://goodtimes.sc/cover-stories/kitchen-of-dreams/
