We went Tuesday night for my girlfriend's birthday and everything was great! Our server was Jania and she was excellent, provided amazing service, the host was also great, honest, accommodating and incredibly welcoming. Everything that a host should be, and the kitchen despite the late time we were there still delivered quality food that we would love to come back again for. Thank you to everyone in this restaurant for providing such an excellent dining experience to us! read more

WOW WOW WOW Food is EXCELLENT!!! Corn with bone marrow is 10/10 Drinks are strong Service is amazing Super cute spot. Love love. Will be back for sure read more

Stopped in Sedona looking for a place with great views and good food. The scenery and ambiance were the best part, and the service was solid. The ceviche special ended up being my favorite since it was unique. The chicken tacos were just mid. Something about the taste or texture of the chicken felt off, which lines up with what other reviews mentioned. Overall, the food is just okay, but if you want margaritas and a great view, this spot definitely works. read more

We came to Mole Mexican Kitchen after a hike and really appreciated the balance they strike here. There is a clear embracing of beauty and culture with a sense of elegance from the creator, but at the same time they are very welcoming of families and people coming in casually dressed, which made it feel comfortable and not at all pretentious. The space itself is beautiful. The chandeliers add a nice touch, and the large windows open up to stunning views of the red rock mountains, which makes the whole dining experience feel very "Sedona." If you can time it around sunset, it's especially worth it. There wasn't a children's menu, but I was able to order sides of rice, chicken, and avocado, and my daughter kept saying "mommy this is delicious!" over and over. I couldn't have agreed more. The food feels thoughtful and elevated, with a more refined palate and interesting pops of flavor that you don't always find at a typical Mexican restaurant. It's worth noting that because this is more of an elevated dining experience, prices are higher than your standard spot. They also don't automatically bring chips and salsa, which may surprise some people. When you order items like guacamole, expect a more creative twist. Ours included additions like queso fresco and pomegranate, which isn't something you typically see and adds a unique flavor profile. Service was on the slower side, although it did seem like they may have been understaffed, so that likely contributed. A few other things to keep in mind that others have pointed out as well: portions can feel a bit smaller for the price, and parking in the area can take a little patience, especially during peak times. That said, the presentation of the food is beautiful and clearly intentional, and the cocktail menu (especially their margaritas) is something a lot of people seem to enjoy. Overall, this is a great spot if you're looking for a more elevated, thoughtfully curated take on Mexican cuisine in Sedona, with an atmosphere that still feels approachable and family-friendly. read more

First time here while on vacation! Customer service was great! The food was tasty and the restaurant was clean. My only recommendation would be heaters in the outside area. The chicken enchilada and salmon enchilada was really good! We also tried the guacamole tasting which we liked the variety. Jonya was our server and she was really nice and made it a great experience. read more

Food: Good! Ambiance: lovely with a view! Service: could be better :/ I was so excited to try Mole after seeing other reviews and instagram reels. For the most part, everything was great, we enjoyed outdoor seating and our plates were yummy. However, upon being served glasses of water, my partner received a dirty glass with tajin inside and residue of floating particles from improperly washing dishes... but we get it mistakes happen. We asked our waitress, Shannon, to replace it. She did- but no apology, no "sorry about that", which I expected from a customer service standpoint. We tried not to let this sour the rest of our dining experience, and we did enjoy our food. Would I recommend? Yes, food is good and solid. I hope management takes a moment to address their cleaning practices is all :) read more

Mole is located at the Arebella resort in Sedona. They have a very limited menu. Short but mighty. They offer about 10 dishes, including chicken Mole enchiladas, excellent Pazole, salads, and a few other options. Everything is stand alone. Beans and rice are extra. Chips and salsa are extra. The Mole enchiladas were excellent. I may even say it was one of the best mole dishes I've had. The enchiladas were overstuffed with chicken. In addition I ordered black beans and rice. I cleared my entire plate. My dad had the Pazolle. He said it was delicious. My mon said her food was good too. Now you ask, where did it go wrong? Sadly we had a reservation. We found out the hard way that even if you have a reservation, it does not mean they have a table for you. We arrived on time. Our table was not ready. Our option was a very high table facing a wall or outside. We opted to eat outside. Although we had heaters nearby, the wind was very cold. My mole plate got cold fast as did my fathers Pazole. Food is good but seating needs improvement. read more

I took my wife to Molé for her birthday, (which is on Cinco de Mayo coincidentally). The food and service were superb. This is not your typical, nicely decorated Mexican restaurant serving fast food quality meals. Molé is a gourmet restaurant with meals that are not only beautifully presented but, delicious. Nothing is spared in quality. True to it's name, Molé has the most outstanding molé sauce I have ever tasted. Whether you are visiting Sedona or a local, Molé is a must go! read more

Went to try Mole Mexican Kitchen at 5:15 pm today. Walked up the ramp which I noticed had a 4-6" step up so not ADA compliant and entered the restaurant. The waiting area was full and I walked up to the host area and waited for 6 minutes while staff members walked around no one offered to assist. I saw a couple of ladies walk to sit at the bar and the bartender stated that they could not sit until the host or in this case no host gave them a menu. They left as well. On minutes 7 I signaled my wife to leave and we went to Javelinas. I was in the restaurant business back in my college days and you must have a host or hostess up front to greet patrons. read more

Apps were wonderful. We ordered the crab guacamole, skillet cornbread, and the chichorones, and loved them better than our entrees, although we're good. Service was good. This restaurant is upstairs, so don't let the empty space downstairs fool you. (I believe this is for breakfast for the hotel next door.) There is inside and outside seating. read more

The food was the best I had in my week long trip. The lamb shank was perfectly tender, the red chili sauce was flavorful and paired perfectly with that signature gamey-lamb flavor. The minted cream could have been a little more abundant but that's splitting hairs. Standard rice and beans on the side. Good pairing as expected. The pork chicharron app was good, but I think it was a little expensive for what you got. Very well put together, good flavor and presentation though. The cap and one of the stars of the show, the prickly pair flan. It was like a well structured airy-mousse cloud of bliss. Absolutely amazing, it had this creme Brule undertone that transitioned into a carnelized marshmallow flavor. I didn't want it to end. Service left quite a bit to be desired. We were watching another server run laps around the one we had, so I suppose it just depends on who you get. Tough to get water, took a long time to get our drinks, and a longer time to get our entree order taken. Food was 11/10. Service was like a 5/10. read more

Mole Mexican Kitchen - Salmon enchiladas !! - Mexican Near Me - Sedona, Arizona

We had a fantastic time at Mole, so make sure you get your reservations in when you can!! We had a great server who offered some recommendations, and one of her recommendations became our favorite dish- the guaca crab! We ended up mostly ordering appetizers because there were so many apps that looked amazing, and then we shared our entree. We got the cabo white fish ceviche, the corn bread, the charred esquites, iron skillet corn bread, and the guaca-crab dip appetizers, and they were ALL AMAZING! In fact, they were so good they completely outshined our entree, the mole chicken enchilada. The guaca-crab dip had such a unique flavor profile with the lump crab and guac cooked with butter and miso(?) that just made this dish pop with so much flavor! The cabo white fish ceviche was also really good with tons of bright citrus notes. We loved the charred esquites which was warm and comforting. Lastly, the cornbread really blew us away and was definitely the best cornbread we've had. The texture was so fluffy and light and almost felt more like a dessert! The mole chicken enchilada was great, too, but we are still hung up on how delicious all the apps were. We ended our meal with a prickly pear flan, which didn't seem to have too much prickly pear flavor from what we could tell, but it was a solid flan overall, and I would recommend if it you're a lover of flan! read more

Blew me away WAY more than Elote did. The flavors were perfect and so was the vibe. And the hostess/service was just so accommodating and kind. I know it's not a competition, but everyone made such a fuss about Elote and we had a better experience here. Also, the churros were a spiritual experience. My soul left my body. Please get them. Such a fan. read more

Mole Mexican Kitchen - Pork belly - best I've ever had - Mexican Near Me - Sedona, Arizona

Not great food I got the chicken was gross, no flavor same with the potatoes that came with it. And both cold

It was not a bad experience, but for a place trying to be "ingenuous" as they say on their sign, a lot of the details are lacking. For starters, their restrooms are in need of a total re-do. It was giving off construction site, porta potty vibes. The leather chairs in the dining room are also very dated and the leather exterior is pealing off all over the place. The plates we were given were not entirely clean and had bits of old food caked on in parts. Our white fish ceviche was tasty and I admit I ate all of it. However, it felt like the sauce was just poured from a Tropicana orange juice bottle, and lacked sophistication. The mole enchiladas also were tasty, and I also finished the whole thing, but the chicken tasted of slightly poor quality, and needed better marinade or seasoning. Our server was great but just talked a bit too fast. This place has potential for sure, but needs to clean up the details for a higher rating. read more

Mole Mexican Kitchen - Mole con Pollo Asado - Mexican Near Me - Sedona, Arizona

What more can u ask for, an amazing view while eating good food. We are visiting and looking for a place to have lunch and its nice to give this place a try. Service was much on a slower pace noticed they dont have a lot of servers. We all love the Roasted Beef Bone Marrow. Elote Street-roasted corn complemeted the taste really good. Mole Con Pollo Asado was good. Did not expect the avocado fries to be big chunks of avocado how I wish it was a bit thinner. Pollo tacos was juicy and love the mixture of taste. I ordered the steak medium but they made it medium well flavor was still good. We all finished our food and we got so full we never got to try their desserts. read more

The views from the rooftop patio were amazing, great margaritas while we waited for food too. The crab Guacamole was delicious!! They brought our food out and the skirt Steak that my wife ordered was delicious. I ordered the Pork Tenderloin and they brought my a chicken dish, I told the waitress and she quickly brought me the Pork Tenderloin I ordered. No issues at all, great service with that. The pork tenderloin plate was delicious and worth the mistake. I'd definitely recommend Mole to anyone, the views, food and service were all top notch. read more

Read great reviews & decided to try it. Had no availability as tried to make online reservation for Sunday evening so called on Saturday early afternoon & left a message for them asking for call back - no one bothered to return my call. I kept on checking open table and was able to get a 7:45 pm reservation for 2 of us. We arrived at 7:15 and they were able to sit us down right away - there were plenty of empty tables. We waited at least 15 munutes for server to come over to the table, it took excessive time to get a bottle of Pellegrino water & food took a while... but when it finally made it to our table it was delicious, hot and worth the wait! Food gets 5 stars while service gets 3. read more

Absolutely amazing! We had this on the list as a recommendation before we visited Sedona so I had a reservation. Well worth the visit! Food was beautiful and wonderful to eat. Fresh and high quality. Service was amazing and their margaritas very good! read more

The food was so good! I don't think I've seen my husband and I devour our food so fast. The chips were delicious and a perfect compliment to the guacamole. We got the skirt steak and it was absolutely amazing. So tender and cooked perfectly. We are definitely coming back here in our next trip. We took our order to go but everyone we spoke to was super friendly. read more

I have eaten chicken enchiladas all over the USA These were the absolute best. I fully recommend this to any visitors in Sedona.

One of our favorite places in Sedona! We never skip coming here. Always Visiting 1-2 times while I'm in town. Fancy Mexican food

Great service. Braised beef enchilada and skillet corn bread were excellent. Also one of the best margaritas.

We had a great lunch on the patio. Fish tacos were very good and the ceviche was so delicious. I wanted to spoon the left over sauce but just soaked it up with the hot chips they served. read more

Had a really nice time here after a hike in Sedona with family. When we got seated, we started with some drinks and the espresso martini which we all enjoyed! The highlight of our meal were the appetizers. We loved the cornbread (which is a limited quantity per day) and the esquites. I think the entrees were just okay in comparison but still a very solid spot for food. Definitely recommend! read more

The mole was some of the best I've ever experienced. Cadillac margarita was awesome. Highly recommend.

We had an incredible time at Mole in Sedona! It was a beautiful ambiance with the art and decor, making it a really comfortable experience. The beef enchiladas with mole sauce had a really unique flavor that was so delicious. My mom loved the guacamole and the flan for dessert. The server we had was incredibly attentive and consistently checked in on us. There was also a lot of parking available in front of the restaurant (located next to the Arabella Hotel). It was very hot out, so we sat inside but I'm sure when the weather permits it's a beautiful spot to sit. read more

This place is absolutely delightful! We had the ceviche mixto, crab guac and tampiqueña. All were exceptional. The view from the patio is one of the best in Sedona. Our server was kind and attentive. Also, I just have to add, in response to Gabrielle's review from a week or so ago, if he is interested to donate the $150 (at least) per chair it takes to purchase new chairs, maybe then he could complain about these kinds of things. The restaurant industry is super challenging to make it in and customers like that who think they have the right to be so critical are just hurtful and unkind. This place knows how to create balanced flavor with careful, intentional service. Good job, my friends. read more

INCREDIBLE!! A must if you are visiting Sedona. From the atmosphere, to the service, to the presentation of the food, to the food itself 10/10. We didn't have reservations but had no trouble getting a seat at the bar (for two). We started with guacamole and chips. The chips were the whole tortilla - an interesting twist but loved it. The guacamole was fresh and the portion was excellent. For dinner, we had the shrimp enchiladas - I've never had seafood in my enchiladas and I have to say, WOW! I think I've been missing out OR Mole is just that good! Now onto the dessert that will literally have your mouth watering. Churros and ice cream. I mean, just look at the pictures Fresh out of the fryer, you'll want to eat a dozen of them. Overall 10/10. It's a MUST! read more

My wife and I went there twice on our trip it was so good. The skirt steak tampiqueno is out of this world. The potato brava is the best I've had. The tortilla chips are the best I've ever had. Margaritas were good but were on the smaller side. Server and host were polite and the manager even came around to mingle and check on everyone. Will be back! read more

This place is delicious. I ordered everything I normally stay away from, ie, bone marrow elote, anything with a mole sauce and churros. All three proved me wrong tonight. I agree with others that said this may be better than elote. My only beef is the tortilla chips. They were not my favorite. read more

Check in on yelp and get a huge portion of guacamole and chips. Goes great with the margarita. Reservations suggested as it's a small restaurant. There is outside dining and has a decent view of Sedona. I had the skirt steak and it was a generous portion, served with rice and beans or coleslaw, and house made tortillas. Stephen had the lamb shank and it fell off the bone. Also served with rice and beans or coleslaw. It was so much food, he couldn't finish it. Overall great experience and we'll come back! read more

My wife and I joined friends at Mole and we all agreed that it was a delicious meal, with great service, in a panoramic setting. Our friend is a prolific local rock climber, and we enjoyed his showing us many of Sedona's signature rock formations from the beautiful patio. The food was a nice upgrade from typical upscale cantina food. We all agreed it was fresh, flavorful, and a step up regarding flavor. My wife and I plan on returning for our upcoming anniversary. read more

Food was great but pricey for what we got. Mole Chicken and Shrimp enchiladas were tasty but on the smallish side. Son ordered an off-menu steak Quesadilla that was $20.50 and didn't have much steak inside. The bill noted that the quesadilla was a "kids quesadilla" for $7.50 and then added steak to it which was $13 more. Not sure why they just don't create a simple kids menu to make things easier for all and add the transparency. The "kids" steak quesadilla did come with rice and beans which did made the price more reasonable. Couldn't believe chips and salsa was a paid appetizer for $4 in a Mexican restaurant, but were definitely worth it. Cadillac margaritas were good but not worth $20 each IMO. Service was great and do recommend dining, but make sure not to be super hungry otherwise, come with the expectation on paying more than you likely expected. read more

Mole is absolutely fantastic! It's a cute upscale Mexican restaurant. I can't speak on the restaurant itself since my friend and I did take out but the food was so yummy! Our mole enchiladas was so well done and delicious. The side of beans and rice was great too and a staple of course. I would love to be back to try other things on the menu that I've read so many good things about! Placing and picking up the order was super easy as well. Overall, it's a great stop in a convenient location and I recommend giving it a try if you're in town! read more
