След смъртта на дъщеря си, Тере изгубва страстта си към готвенето и спира да работи в ресторанта за традиционна мексиканска кухня - "Ел Молкахете", намиращ се в центъра на Мексико Сити. За да спаси бизнеса си, управителката Беатрис наема Роси - образована във Франция майстор-готвачка. Но лъчезарната внучка на Тере - Мария, има намерение да върне баба си в ресторанта.

The cuisine battle between Tere and chef Rosi is an epic fight not only between long-stablished mexican food and light food, but also a struggle of family bonds, friendship, cooking secrets, flavour’s passion and more than two hundred ingredients that are needed in order to prepare Mole, a traditional mexican sauce.
