Móle: One thing the Lower East Side lacks (not skinny jeans, not dive bars) is a stand-out Mexican resto as authentic as Móle. And after feasting on the colossal nachos here or the Cochinita Pibil (shredded pork served on a banana leaf) at this Allen St. nook, you'll be ready for a siesta rather than a fiesta. Try telling that to the shrieking girls in the corner drinking Corona Light, though. Happy hour specials such as $5 margaritas and $3 draft beers perfectly complement chef Lupe Elizalde's "drunken taquitos," further proving you'll be borracho, just like them, in no time.
