Molé Cantina Mexicana: A Wellington Dining Guide with New York Roots |
The State Road 7 restaurant pairs a family story with Mexican favorites. Here’s how to plan a visit. |
For Wellington residents choosing a place to catch up over dinner, Molé Cantina Mexicana offers a local stop with a story that began far from State Road 7. The restaurant is at 2557 S State Road 7, Suite 150. Its official website connects its Wellington dining room to a business founded in New York City in 1991.
From New York to Wellington
According to the restaurant’s own history, founders Lupe and Nick opened their first Mexican restaurant in New York, then grew to three locations before bringing the concept to Wellington. That background provides context for the business; it does not establish how every guest will experience a meal.
For a first visit, the useful question is what fits your group. A quick weeknight dinner, a leisurely weekend lunch and a larger celebration can require different arrangements. Checking the menu before leaving makes it easier to choose a time and avoid deciding everything at the table.
The sauce behind the name
The restaurant describes its namesake mole sauce as handmade in Mexico by Doña Emelia and imported for its kitchens. Its story lists chiles, nuts, spices and chocolate among the ingredients. Tableside guacamole, fajitas, enchiladas and Tex-Mex favorites also appear in that description.
Those details give diners a starting point for questions. Ask which current dishes use the sauce, how spicy a preparation is and whether a modification is available. Anyone managing an allergy should speak directly with the restaurant about ingredients and preparation rather than treating a broad website description as a complete ingredient list. |

Choose the visit that fits your evening
Molé’s menu page separates dinner, drinks, brunch and lunch, happy hour and dessert. Browse the relevant section before settling on a plan. This guide does not quote meal prices because a restaurant’s current menu and staff are the appropriate sources for a final order.
The posted hours, checked October 8, list noon openings Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. openings Saturday and Sunday. Closing times vary: 9:30 p.m. Monday, 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday, and 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Confirm holiday hours and any special arrangements before traveling.
Its weekly-specials page advertises Friday mariachi and a Saturday DJ, alongside weekday offers. Treat that as a prompt to call about the particular date you want. Confirm performance times, seating and offer conditions; a recurring listing is not a guarantee that every evening will follow an identical schedule.
Planning a gathering at home?
The restaurant also advertises takeout catering. Its options include taco and fajita packages, with fillings and accompaniments listed online. Catering prices and orders are handled directly with the restaurant. Before committing, establish the number of guests, pickup time, serving needs and which items accommodate your group.
A short written list can make that conversation simpler: headcount, food preferences, dietary questions, budget and when the food is needed. Ask what is included and how leftovers should be handled. These are planning suggestions, not promises about services that the restaurant has not confirmed.
The practical details
Use Molé’s contact page for directions and reservation options, or call 561-355-5322. Check the latest hours and menu before your visit. For neighbors looking for a different dinner routine, the business offers a useful opportunity to explore a local restaurant’s history while making a plan based on current information.

Checking the menu before a group dinner makes sense. I would also check whether a larger party needs a reservation at this location.
Rob EllisGood call. I'd check before bringing a big group on a Saturday night.
Good point. For a larger group, it’s worth contacting the Wellington location ahead of time to ask about reservations and seating.
The allergy reminder is worth keeping in mind. Chiles, nuts and chocolate are a useful starting point, but I would still ask about preparation.
Exactly. The listed ingredients are a starting point, but anyone managing an allergy should ask the restaurant directly about ingredients and preparation.
I would like to know which dishes currently come with the mole sauce. The ingredients sound good, but the spice level matters to me.
Dave ThompsonSame here. I'd ask if they can make it milder before ordering, too.
The restaurant’s description doesn’t specify which current dishes use the mole sauce or how spicy they are. A call before your visit is the best way to check both.
The New York history is interesting. I did not realize Lupe and Nick had three locations before bringing the restaurant to Wellington.
Maria G.I didn't know that either. It makes me curious how long the Wellington location has been open.
It’s an interesting path to Wellington. According to the restaurant’s history, Lupe and Nick started in New York City in 1991 and grew to three locations before bringing the concept here.
