The food and drinks were great, however the service was appalling. 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.
While walking on the Centennial trail with my daughter, Kaylah on 9/9/23. We fell hungry and opted for Mexican food for lunch. 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.
We Sat outside, nice area with shade, Staff was very friendly, and knowledgeable about menu items The Aguachilies are beyond spicy! Order with caution lol but great flavors Drinks we strong and tasty. 2 meals- 2 drinks and an appetizer came out to around $80 I believe. Food and location were great. Will be returning
This place was moderately busy for a Friday afternoon at 6pm. We didn't have to wait for a table and the food was served fairly fast. The venue is very nice inside and outside. We had an outside table it was beautiful overlooking the Spokane River. We enjoyed what we ordered. My girlfriend loved her food and I thought the Salmon Molé was okay. It's a different flavor than what I'm used to. The servers seemed very rushed and hurried. They were pleasant and respectful. However, they seemed like they were rushing us to leave so others could take our table. They might have been short staffed. I'd recommend this place. Their prices are somewhat decent. The salmon was a smaller portion for the price in my opinion. Va Piano Ox Cabernet Sauvignon: 4/5 (strong) Empanadas Fritas: 5/5 Salmon Molé: 3/5 Oyster: 4/5
It was a nice day and we were in the mood for Mexican so we decided to try this restaurant in the Kendall Yards neighborhood. We were impressed with the nice outdoor seating with the view of the river and all trail activity. First strike against them: no beer on tap. We decided we would suffer with the bottled beer and kudos to the cold glasses they gave us. We took some time to look through the menu and with a little help from our very nice server we decided on the pork stuffed chili relleno for me and hubby got a chicken burrito (without the pineapple salsa - he hates pineapple). Both of us were underwhelmed by our choices considering both dishes were about 10% more expensive than our favorite Mexican venues. I should have followed our server's advice and gotten the cheese stuffed relleno but even the sauce was kind of bland. I did like their unique crispy (homemade??) chips that came with a mild but decent salsa. Husband didn't like them but he's a traditional corn chips and spicy salsa guy. I guess you're paying for the view. We love sitting outside but I saw the interior seating and was unimpressed by the cafeteria like ambiance with the plain wooden chairs and tables arranged in rows. I don't know. I just like booths and more cozy seating. There were a couple half booths that were nice but on a busy night you'd probably get seated in the plain tables. I guess we won't be back.
Molé was seriously so delicious! It's a great spot right near the water which an amazing view. The food was delicious and service was great. The fish tacos were so good and the street corn appetizer is a must.
I love a good Mole meal! The drinks are divine and their tacos are delicious! Everytime I have guests in town I bring them here and they always enjoy it. Normal good service
The chips and salsa are SO good. The chips are perfectly crispy and served still warm, and the salsa is flavorful without a ton of spice. I ordered the enchiladas del mar with shrimp and crab. The seafood inside was good but unfortunately not very flavorful overall. The rice and beans were also lacking flavor. My husband had the ribeye fajitas and really enjoyed his meal. We enjoyed our cocktails and the service was good. I'd come back to order the fish tacos again.
Great dinner and experience at Mole last week in Spokane. We had one night that we we didn't have basketball at the arena for the NCAA Women's Tourney, and I had asked my wife to pick a Mexican restaurant for dinner. She picked Mole and it was excellent. Our daughter had the Pastor Street Tacos with rice and beans...so good. My wife had the Chile Relleno and loved it. I had the Al Pastor Burrito...besides being huge, it was great. The pineapple inside was different but oh so good. The chips beforehand were flour tortilla triangles and the salsa was excellent. e had seconds of both. And the Classic Margarita was as good as could be. The server Yareth was running, but so friendly and engaging. We loved her. They were busy with all that was going on in the city, but Mole was memorable, and a restaurant I would recommend and go back to.
Service was horrible, the waitress walked by our table every time never checking in on us, we had to call her over for the check, refills, to order dessert. Water was never topped off. As well as first walking in with dirty water on the table which was almost drank, and when asked if it was dirty they said yes and proceeded to leave the water on the table. Also the dessert labeled as deep fried ice cream had no description on the menu, so I was very surprised to see when huckleberry? ice cream came out with corn flake cereal coating it. Not deep fried but okay, I didn't eat it. Sorry bakas, the actual food was delish though. Amazing atmosphere very nice in here.
When you walk in your welcomed with a live walk of greenery and beautiful tropical flowers. The restaurant has a large patio out back that overlooks looks the Spokane river . We were sat inside because of our large party. It was very busy , very loud and hot in the restaurant. We were all sweating. We ordered a variety of mixed beverages. My favorite is the grilled pineapple margarita. I also tried the mezzcalini, oo wee. That one is very smoky. Too smoky for my taste buds. I ordered the chori queso, expecting it to the ooey gooey liquid gold cheese. It is not. It was good, but once the cheese cooled down, it was challenging to eat. It came with tortillas , which wasn't what I was expecting either. But maybe I've had too many non authentic queso and chips. I did like the salsa that came with the chips. Not too spicy, a good consistency to scoop with the chips. I ordered the crispy baja shrimp tacos. It came with three tacos on the plate. Kinda pricy at $22 for three tacos and no rice and beans. The flavors overall were amazing. I enjoyed the pickled onions , it cut the heaviness of the battered shrimp. I could eat endless amounts of these tacos , but I was also hoping for rice and beans as well. Overall the shrimp tacos were good. I would try Mole again, but it is a bit pricy.

Have you tried @molerestaurantspokane yet?! So so delicious. In the heart of Kendall yards. The pineapple margarita was sweet & tasty. Appetizers we got chips and guacamole. For dinner, I ordered Chile Relleno. It was light and not greasy. The tomato sauce was the best time ever tried! So good. I definitely will be ordering that again. Actually, my husband got the chicken mole. He says it was all right. But I think once he tried mine, he decided he liked that better. He finished his meal, and then I asked the server if we could have another Relleno. So good. For drinks, we tried the jalapeño margarita and the pineapple one. Both delicious. Make reservations online on their site. As for the reviews saying that it was loud in there, I feel like it was normal restaurant noise. I didn't find myself shouting as other reviewers have claimed. read more

More like a 3.5 star. A recently opened Mexican restaurant in Kendall Yards that is on the trendier/pricier side. SERVICE: I haven't had the best service here for the two occasions that I have dined. Once, they forgot our drink orders. Another time, I asked if they had anything similar to chicken enchiladas on the menu available since I was craving and they said yeah...but then I ended up getting "Pollo ENCHILADO a la Parrilla" which was a Rotisserie chicken and grilled thigh and breast. *facepalm* Both times, the food also came out a little slower. RESERVATIONS: Highly recommend making reservations via OpenTable, especially on Fri-Sun! PARKING: Free street parking can be found if you are patient/lucky enough by the apartments nearby or right out front. If not, there is a $5 lot behind the Scoop/Yards Bruncheon. COMPLIMENTARY CHIPS AND SALSA: These were great! Salsa is on the mild side. TIRADITO DE -YELLOWTAIL $14: This comes with slices of yellowtail on a bed of mixed greens, jicama, fresh garlic, cilantro, and fresh vinaigrette of raspberry and habanero. This also has some serrano lime salsa drizzled on top. The slices of yellowtail were generous and the flavors were amazing. Would totally get this again! AL PASTOR BURRITO $20: This burrito comes with marinated pork in their rich guajillo sauce with rice, onion, grilled pineapple salsa, cilantro, queso fresco, and guacamole. This is on the larger side and it's good! Would totally get this again. Doesn't come with rice and beans, but does come with a small side salad. It is important to note that the salsa with the burrito is significantly hotter than the one that came with the complimentary chips haha. OAXACAN MULE $11: This drink comes with Mezcal, Cucumber, Agave Nectar, Lime Juice, Passion Fruit, and Ginger Beer. Unfortunately, this was a miss for me and I didn't really enjoy this very much. The ginger beer flavor of the mule was muted in my opinion. VODKA STRAWBERRY LEMONADE: I got this drink in replacement of the mule and enjoyed it a lot more haha! read more
Visited Molé for a sisters night. We like to try new places and this was one we had heard about, but hadn't gotten to yet! First glance - the restaurant is kind of tucked back and hidden. A few of us walked right past it and didn't even realize it. I wish they had a sign out by the curb to aid in visibility. Once inside the atmosphere was really cool. Loved how bright and open it was. Only complaint - we couldn't find the bathroom. We ended up waiting until we left and used a restroom at a nearby location. The service - our waitress was kind, but slow. It seemed she wasn't available when we needed her. The food was slow coming out, and the drinks even slower. By the time I received my second drink everyone else was done with their drinks/food and the checks were at the table. When I ordered I asked if I could get a small side of queso. Apparently this is a big ask and something they cannot accommodate. If I wanted queso, I had to order the queso appetizer that was $17 and not just plain queso. They put queso on a quite a few different food items so I think it was really strange that they couldn't fulfill this request. I would have been happy to pay for the small side, but "they don't do that". I think good service means going above and beyond. So, asking the kitchen to put a little queso in a dish should be something you can make happen. The food - the chips served with the salad when we first sat were delicious! So good! I wish they refilled them at least once. We had four people and it wasn't enough chips or salsa for all of us, but man were they good! I ordered one of each of the street tacos: Chorizo, Al Pastor, Carne Asada, and Barbacoa. The tacos were good, but not great. The meat in each was actually really dry and they were lacking in flavor. They just didn't have anything on them to help make the flavor pop. The fish tacos - They were good, but again not great. Two of my sisters ordered them and they both enjoyed them, but for the flavor wasn't popping. Drinks were good, but like I mentioned - really slow. We enjoyed our visit, had some good food, and a nice dinner. I would eat here again, but Probably because someone else chose it not because I'm interested in going back. read more

Order the mole tamales, put some guacamole on them, and enjoy life! The food was delicious and presentation was gorgeous. My friend had a burrito and yummy mezcal drink that looked amazing. Big portion on the burrito. I enjoyed the tamales and the thick, warm tortilla chips. The guac is perfection and the salsa was chunky and good mellow flavor with a little heat. I stole the extra hot sauce that came with my friend's burrito and it made the mole perfection if you like kick. Outdoor seating was packed with no wait inside. It was a gorgeous day and the outside view is amazing, but the food was so good we couldn't wait and the inside ambiance was still nice. read more
High quality Mexican style food with Kendal Yard prices- the convenience is worth it I think. I shared the chicken mole with rice and it was very enjoyable not too spicy and approachable. Also enjoyed a virgin jalapeño margarita. Why? Because for me spicy and alcohol doesn't work for me. Was it worth it? Why yes it was delicious and tasty and recommended. I also had a street taco which was also very enjoyable. read more

Sooo Good! Had to grab lunch alone today and this place did not disappoint! Service was great and food was amazing! read more
Really good Mexican food in kendal yards area. The view of the river while eating is fantastic! I got the vegetable fajitas, the portion size was kinda small compared to De Leons where you would get about double the size for the same price. The server was a bit slow, took 15 minutes to get drinks and napkins but our chips and salsa was already on the table. Which could be a bad thing because people walk by for who knows how long breathing all over it. Anyways my niece got the chicken nachos which was really good size and my nephew got the carne asada also looked very good. Would eat here again for sure just hoping they get more vegan options like plant based tacos. read more

Oh. My. WORD. We live in Tri-Cities and find ourselves in Spokane for one reason or another, just about every month or two. My daughter (19) is a huge fan of Mexican food, and I just want to know how we didn't find this place sooner. SO DELICIOUS! The carne asada melted my mouth . Everyone on staff was friendly and kind, service was great! One of our favorite things about coming to Spokane is trying new restaurants - after today I just want to come back to Molé and try all of the other things! Five stars, 10/10, absolutely recommend! read more

Ate here on a Thursday at 4:30 and was seated right away. Service throughout the whole evening was prompt and nice. Table tortilla chips were amazing. Crispy and crunchy, not overly salted. Definitely made in house and delicious. Table salsa was also delicious and not spicy. I ordered the Mole Rojo with pork ribs and I was blown away. The ribs fell off the bone so easy and the mole sauce was finger lickin' good. Also had the Mole Negro with chicken, which was good, but the pork ribs were better. I tried the Grilled Pineapple Margarita, which was tasty, but not terribly strong. Not really worth $12 for the drink. Only complaint was that our table wasn't level and would rock every time we leaned on it. Regardless, I will 100% be back to get more mole. A+ read more
Make sure to make a reservation as the wait time may be long. We walked in as a party of 2 and waited 2 hours which we expected as it usually is fairly busy. The Waiter was very kind, and the food was great! We got the rib-eye fajita and mole which were both delicious. The restaurant was very busy so the wait time for food took longer than expected, but overall a great experience! read more

Holy Mol-e! Wowwy let me tell you this place is soooo good! Stumbled across this amazing spot after our previous pick was booked out and decided to give it a try. Only had space at the bar but we took it since the bar was pretty spacious. The bartenders were soooo much fun! They were very friendly, funny, and helpful with suggestions! The food... man oh man, was just so tasty! I was so happy and impressed to see a almost full women cooking staff, and boy did they know their stuff! Everything we had from the chips and salsa to the main courses were just amazing! Highly suggest you have to try the Mole if you're at Mole! The traditions and flavors definitely run pride and true here and it shows with the love and care that they put into their food and their service! Can't wait to visit again! P.S. make a reservation. read more

My wife and I are vegan because of our religion and for health reasons. we were initially so excited to find a restaurant that was so accommodating. I got the veggie fajitas and my wife got a vegetarian mushroom and rice dish. We asked if the dishes could come with no butter and no cheese so they would be vegan and our waitress's said that would be no issue at all. The food tasted great and we were really excited to find our new spot for Mexican food until I realized my entire dish and my wife's were swimming in butter. Very disappointing and concerning. read more

Delicious food very flavorful, not spicy, just good flavors! Five ladies shared the 'Chori-queso' and the 'Mucha Carne' it was a lot of food. The Queso was devoured so fast that we forgot to take a picture. The Mucha Carne is very big! We even had leftovers. My personal favorite dishes were the carne asada, sautéed Mexican prawns and pollo enchilado. The house made tortillas are just like Mexico, melt in your mouth! Our server was Skylar she was very personable and efficient. Kenny had some great suggestions and talked us into Flan, which was a wonderful suggestion! A great new restaurant, we will be back! read more

Molé Restaurant is a brand new southern Mexican food restaurant in the heart of it all in trendy Kendall Yards. It's Oaxacan with a few fusion dishes. I met up with some gals after work for drinks and dinner. They offer beer, wine and mixed drinks, the blood orange whiskey sour was smooth, flavorful and vibrant. Pineapple margarita was sweet, tasty and tropical. I would order those again, and again. For appetizers, we ordered the Molotes "these were corn based pastry with potato and chorizo" and were flaky, super filled and topping with plenty of garnish (sour cream, guacamole and salsa) they could be a meal in themselves - a must try! For dinner, I ordered the Ceviche Mixto and boyeeee I love ceviche and there's was light, lime-y and full of seafood meat chunks (octopus, yellowtail, tuna) so filling and served with a basket of fresh tortilla chips. This is definitely a must try. Great atmosphere and will be a great place to check out in summer when you can sit on the patio overlooking the Spokane River. read more
My wife and I stopped in here on Christmas eve; this is a very new establishment. It has a new upscale look and feel. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated Our tasty beverages came right out, along with chips and salsa, the chips were warm a crispy, the salsa was thick, flavorful and mild, very tasty. Mary had the Mango Habanero Rib-Eye Fajitas, grilled ribeye, sauteed onions, bell peppers and tomatoes, served with rice and beans, guacamole, sour cream and Pico de Gallo. The meat was perfectly cooked, along with the vegies, making for exceptionally delicious fajitas. I had the Chile Relleno a la Oaxaquena, stuffed poblano pepper with shredded pork, crema, along with rice and beans; the pepper was mild, the pork was very tender and lightly spiced, very tasty. You should get in here and give this place a try. read more
