    Some of the items available

    This is an amazing market with a cafeteria style deli. With their other location in the Valley, this is about it for Mexican markets in our area. We love going to the central Washington area for places like this, because they truly do have the best Mexican food. It is not a place where things are cooked up for you as you wait, but they do put some nice finishing touches on what you order from their hot deli, and it's always a very delicious and satisfying lunch. We've been coming here for many years, and will certainly continue to enjoy them.

    A welcome sign for this S Texan!

    Nothing feels like "home" for a native South Texan more than finding a Mexican food store in the PNW! I was trying to make tamales and, living 60 miles north of Spokane, had to order husks online. Long-story-short, I was disappointed in the quality - especially considering the price. So, while planning a trip to town I checked Yelp for Mexican food markets. De Leon was at the top of the list and RIGHT around the corner from where I was going to be. SCORE! The store is not too big, but it's LOADED with lots of "auténtica." Chiles, Goya, masa mixes, pan dulcé, and so much more PLUS the husks I was looking for at a good price. There's also a meat market in the back and a cafe. The whole environment was like a tiny mercado. Excellent! I didn't get to try the cafe, but the smells when I walked in the store reminded me of home. I did pick up some conchas and empanadas. The conchas were flavorful and the cream-filled empanada was a surprise; I was expecting pumpkin. The bread itself was rather dry, but that's an easy fix. Prices, overall, are a little high, but the convenience of this store being here is well worth it. I'll be stopping in every time I'm in town.

    You can't go wrong with their hot food. There are lots of different authentic choices. The quality of the food is pretty good and the portion sizes are always big, especially when you order a burrito. This store is divided into a hot food restaurant section and a small store where you can find items such as chips, drinks, canned goods, laundry detergent, etc. They also sell traditional Mexican breads and pastries, and freshly in-store made tortillas. Every time I've been here, I've seen quite a bit of customers coming in for the hot food items which seems to be the biggest seller.

    Cabeza, al pastor, carne asada tacos.
    Brad P.

    The pozole was actually decent with a good portion of meat but barely any hominy. The cabeza tacos were delicious and rich like expected, the al pastor was good as well and was served with pineapple chunks. The carne asada was the absolute worst though, it was dry and tough with a serious lack of flavor. There is no way they use the same meat in the case as they do the tacos. This was chunks of hard and dry nonsense, a far cry from the flap meat the display in the case down the aisle from the counter. I have tried their location on Hamilton and thought that the market would be the better alternative, I was sadly wrong though. Although the market/ restaurant was better than the actual restaurant, it still left me wondering what other places I can try to get my actually delicious Mexican fix.

    Pretty good Mexican.. Especially reheated in the air fryer! It could use more lettuce and sour cream on the side- but I managed. It was presented pretty messy in the container so unfortunately it wasn't as appetizing.. But you get a lot of food! Worth a try for the taste buds tour of Spokane!

    Quick Lunch...

    So-so food. The benefit here is the convenience and quick service. I keep finding myself eating there and picking up some groceries.

    The food and drinks were great, however the service was appalling…read more Things started out great with our first round of drinks, but our server changed while we were waiting for our joiners. Totally understandable, but our second server couldn't have cared less about our dining experience. We had to ask for a salsa and chip refill six times before it arrived at our table- I wish I was kidding. Our dirty appetizer dishes, plates and drink glasses sat on the table our entire meal, and no one came back to check on us. We also had to flag down our server when we wanted to order our dinner, more drinks, and ask for more water. Most disappointing of all, our graduation party, that no one asked us about, had 8 people meaning this awful service got tipped 18%. I completely understand having automatic gratuity on large parties, but the service needs to be worth that 18% if you're going to charge it. This was our first and last time at Molé. The food and drinks truly were good, but the bad service outweighs the good eats.

We found Molé restaurant along our walkway and decided to make a pit stop. Thankfully, there weren't a whole bunch of people yet. It was a gorgeous sunny day so we sat outside with a beautiful view overlooking the Spokane River. It was not a clear view due to an obstruction of some leafy vine plants that covered the railing. That made it not so pleasant. In order to truly see the view, you literally had to stand. It would've been best to have bar height tables and chairs to capture the view and the dining experience outside would be lovely. The interior of the restaurant is pretty large with nice decor, art mural, clean and comfortable ambiance. Our server was nice and made recommendations. We were offered complimentary chips and salsa which we enjoyed. The salsa was good. I ordered the Baja Fish tacos which were delicious. I enjoyed it paired with horchata drink. My daughter ordered the Empanadas Fritas. She stated was pretty good. We would return to try other items on the menu.

They said it had a nice charred flavor and very tender. I had the taco salad, which was good and had plenty of toppings to make it exciting. It also had a lot of meat so it felt like a full meal. My husband had the Menudo and he devoured it. Highly recommend. Another kid had the street tacos, and although he saw a burrito, walked by that he wished he ordered, he still loved his tacos. We had to drive from the north side of the city to the South Hill to get to this location, but it was worth it. I believe my family has a new favorite restaurant to get delicious Mexican food. The restaurant is small, but that added to the charm. And many tables were full, which means the locals also enjoy this place. Bonus fact: they have different types of salsa for your chips. A mild version and spicy versions. I recommend trying them all.

The food was amazing, the people were great, and I was excited to come back. Yesterday, my girlfriend and I planned a date night and decided to order from here again. Since we have kids, we did pickup. We drove about 25 minutes, then waited another 25 minutes because the line was packed which I didn't mind because the food was that good the first time. But this time? Completely different experience. I ordered a bean burrito with cheese... and it had no beans. Just rice and cheese in a tortilla. Then the nachos, honestly, for $27, this was unacceptable. Dry chips, unmelted cheese, some tomatoes thrown on top, no meat, no beans just thrown together with no care. It looked and tasted like an afterthought. What made it worse is the lack of accountability. I tried calling multiple times last night and again this morning no answer. Calls just ring or don't go through. I even tried calling from different numbers. Nothing. At this point, it's not even about the money it's the principle. Mistakes happen, but not being able to reach anyone or have them make it right is frustrating. I really wanted to keep supporting this place because the first experience was great, but this completely missed the mark. If you go, just be aware the quality and consistency might not be what you expect.
