What Dan Wisozk likes about 301 Cafe:
We had not visited for years until I came back to see family. Still the best Mexican food, better than any Central Cal restaurant we have tried. And hands down still the best mole I have ever had. Very reasonable. A lot of kitsch, but aside from the booths clothed on butterscotch color (used to be red), the place hasn't changed since the late 1960's when our family would come on Friday nights.
