Best Carnitas and Mole in Edmonton

About Our Carnitas and Mole

At PiKanté, our Carnitas and Mole combines two classics: slow-braised pork carnitas and our house mole. The pork is seasoned with citrus and spices and cooked until tender; the mole is made with dried chiles, chocolate, and aromatics for depth. Together on a warm corn tortilla with cilantro and onion, they're a taste of Oaxaca in Edmonton.

Owner Ken's roots in Oaxaca, Mexico, inform both the carnitas and the mole. The result is a dish that's rich, balanced, and deeply satisfying — no shortcuts, just real ingredients and traditional technique. Served at Bountiful Farmers' Market every weekend.

Why Our Carnitas and Mole Stands Out

PiKanté's Carnitas and Mole stand out because we make both components with care: the pork is braised low and slow, and the mole is built from quality chiles and spices. That dedication is what keeps Edmonton diners coming back for this authentic combination.
