I ate at the Palms Guelaguetza, which is two blocks from my brother's house. I also loved the mole negro -- I had the tamales with mole negro and sesame seeds. On the way out, I noticed that they had mole paste (negro and rojo) for sale. I bought both and brought them back home with me, for many wonderful meals. My guess is that both venues use the same mole paste as the basis for their dishes. Mole is extraordinarily time-consuming to make from scratch (I've done it) and my understanding is that it is common practice in Mexico for people to buy a good quality ready-made mole paste for home (?and restaurant) use. Reading this thread is making me incredibly homesick for the many wonderful Mexican restaurant options in L.A.
