Entering any Mexican restaurant in the Inland Northwest can definitely be dicey but not Mole which is where we decided to celebrate my birthday this year. The ambience is perfect.. festive but sleek with an upscale nod! We started the evening with some margaritas all around... spicy, grilled pineapple and regular all of which were delicious! The chips were crisp and the salsa incredible with the perfect spice and chunkiness. They also have a guacamole that is fresh and bursting with flavor... incredible! Since moving here 7 years ago from the pacific southwest I am always on the hunt for a fish taco that will rival what we believe are the best fish tacos ever and I think I have finally found that here at Mole. It was a great mix of cabbage, pico de gallo, pickled onions and grilled pineapple salsa. I am in heaven! Also ordered at our table were the fajitas which were delicious, flavorful and more than enough food to be shared by 2. It was a great evening in every way and we will absolutely be back for more fish tacos! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

I friend and I were in Kendall Yards and decided to have lunch at Molé. I'm glad we did. We walked in the door and the smell was amazing! We were served fresh, homemade warm chips and delicious salsa. Both of us had the Chicken Mole Tamale. One of the best tamales I've ever had. Sweet, smoky sauce covering a tamale filled with lightly seasoned chicken, drizzled with queso. There is a small side of beans and rice. I ordered a Jalapeño Margarita with Reposado tequila, Cointreau, agave nectar, and of course jalapeño. Delicious! Such a lovely restaurant and kind staff. I can't wait to come back and try something different and sit outside. The patio overlooks the river with a view of the downtown skyline and Peaceful Valley. Located in Kendall Yards next to the Nest. On street parking and a paid lot with the first hour of parking free. read more

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. read more

Molé Restaurant - Shrimp taco - Mexican Near Me - Spokane, Washington

First of all a lot of other people's reviews were dead on. The chips and salsa were great and the service was just ok. Yes our server was efficient which was good but not personable at all. You definitely don't feel super welcomed. We did enjoy our tacos. I had the shrimp . Very good flavor and plenty of food. I did ask for corn but got flour. My husband had the mahi mahi fish tacos. He really enjoyed his as well but thought there could be a bit more flavor. It was nice to sit on the patio since the weather was good. Not sure I'd come back if I lived here because of the lack of friendliness from our server. read more

Went early Friday afternoon ( 4 ish ) and there were plenty of outdoor tables to enjoy the weather and the view. It was a generous pour of the red blend & a tasty Tito's cocktail on the mostly tequila drink menu. I had the fish tacos and they were delicious and messy as other reviews warned. Friendly service , casual atmosphere, We will come back . read more

Last night (4/17/24), we tried Molé in Kendall Yards and it was absolutely delicious! The restaurant is open, you can see into the kitchen and watch them preparing the meals. It is kind of loud inside, but it's clean. The place isn't large, but they have done their best to fit as many tables as they possibly could in the dining room. The location is at the West-end of Kendall Yards. There is on-street parking, but it gets really busy down there so finding parking can be difficult. After being seated, we were brought some fresh made tortilla chips with a mild, yet scrumptious salsa. We also ordered beverages. I went with the Molé Paloma and Jenna had a Diet Coke. Their drinks were reasonably priced, my Paloma was heavy on the Grapefruit flavor and light on the Tequila. As for our meals, my friend Jenna has been making Fajita Salads for a long time, and when I saw they had it on their menu, it was an easy decision to make Molé our dining destination last night. She did opt for the Fajita Taco Salad with shrimp but didn't get the tortilla chips. The menu didn't say anything about rice for the "salad," but there was rice at the bottom of her bowl and their rice was phenomenal. I was all over the place trying to decide what to get. I finally settled on their Seafood Cancún. It was served in a sizzling cast iron vessel and filled with plenty of shrimp, scallops, and another couple fish pieces not mentioned in the description. It was loaded with mushrooms, onions, and yellow summer squash. The flavor was fantastic and a dish I have not had before. I did substitute a side salad for the rice and beans, but didn't ask for a salad dressing, which turned out fine since I had to bring the whole salad home with me. There was so much food in the Seafood Cancun dish, that I couldn't even finish it. There was definitely enough for two people to enjoy. One thing that we both agreed on, their guacamole was the best we have ever had in Spokane. The last time we had guacamole as good as theirs was when we got table side guacamole made for us in Las Vegas. To be fair, we haven't really been searching out guacamole and haven't had many Mexican or Spanish restaurants on our list. Going forward, we will be paying more attention to the guacamole we are served. Their online menu contains a dish called "Mucha Carne" and it's said to feed 3-5 people for $145 (a plate of chorizo, pollo enchilado, carne asada, carne al pastor, and sauteed Mexican prawns. Served with rice, beans, and homemade fresh salsas). That is what my significant other wants to try (with friends, of course) when we go again. I did not see this dish on the menu in the restaurant, so I do not know if it has been discontinued. If you're looking for a delicious more upscale Mexican restaurant, I would definitely suggest trying out Mole in Kendall yards. You'll want to make a reservation, because it gets busy (even at 6 PM on a Wednesday night). read more

First off, and maybe most importantly: the food is delicious. I always get the mole tamales, and they slap every time. The venue is super cute, and the patio is amazing when the weather is good. I will say it's about $5-10 more than other restaurants that are similar as far as quality and quantity of food. Where the stars get lost is on the service. I've been there 4 times now, and it's consistently the most anxiety provoking service of any restaurant I eat at. The servers ALWAYS seem like they're in a major rush, even when the restaurant isn't that busy. The food takes a while to come out. The check takes even longer. Honestly a big deal breaker in an otherwise great restaurant. I wanted to love it (and clearly do since I keep going back), but the service just isn't worth the hassle when you're paying similar prices to Luna or Wooden City which have great service. read more

Fantastic service and food. Six of us each had a different dish and all were excellent. The setting is inviting and outdoor tables have a good view. Highly recommend. read more

Molé serves unique and delicious dishes! The service and ambience are excellent! We recommend sitting on the balcony.

The mole was wonderful! I'm obsessed with mole and they have two different kinds. I liked the negro it was slightly spicer. Beans and rice were super authentic, tortillas were delicious and the table salsa was legit. It was just like my abuela makes ;) We got the chicken flaquitas, chicken mole negro, and chicken enchiladas with mole. The kids like the quesadillas and bean and cheese burritos, amazing portions! Drinks were great, I liked the Mezcal ones. Will come again! read more

My daughter and I were at the evening market Friday and the line was so long at the venders, we decided to try out Molé. Surprisingly enough we were seated rather quickly. We just wanted a lite bite for dinner. We opted to share the seafood empanadas appetizer and each had a carne asada and al Pastor street taco. The empanada was really tasty. And the street tacos were just a perfect amount. Presentation was nice and food was fresh. The atmosphere was good although a bit too loud for me as I am having some ear issues. It was a Friday night so that was expected. Sound sensitive people be aware. . All in all we had a nice experience. read more

Everything happens for a reason. I missed a turn to get to the hotel and I ended up here. Molé runs through my veins. I love it so much. I saw this restaurant online when looking for places to eat in Spokane: I didn't think I would end up here after missing a turn. I ordered the Molé Negro with Chicken. I live in Seattle and have only had Molé at a few places. This is the best Molé I have ever had. They could have just given me a bowl of it with a side of tortillas and I would have been over the moon. It's so delicious and I'm so happy. read more

Honestly kind of surprised by how great my experience at Mole was! To start the restaurant is at the edge of the street of restaurants/shops in Kendall Yard. There's plenty of free parking on that street or in the back parking lot. We had a reservation at 6 and they had a table ready for us by 6. Service is very quick and the waitress was very kind. The atmosphere is a mix of upscale (from the decor, service, menu items) and homey (furniture, dishware, etc) I chose 3 different tacos ($3.75 each). The food was so flavorful and filling. I don't eat Mexican food often, but all 3 kinds definitely met my definition of a solid taco. From the taco fillings actually holding their place in the shell, a variety of toppings from crunchy vegetables to fatty meat, and also it being satisfyingly good and juicy. The service is pretty fast and the waitress was very understanding. This is definitely not a place I will go often because of the higher prices, but would return for special occasions. read more

I was visiting friends in Spokane and we came here for lunch. We had a really nice lunch. Great food and nice service. We had a nice table by the window overlooking the river. The chips and salsa were yummy. In house made chips so they were fresh. Tasty salsa that was not too spicy. I ate way too many chips. For my entrée, I had the al pastor burrito. This was huge burrito. I could not eat it all. Had a nice pineapple salsa on top. Lots of yummy stuff inside. The only thing I did not like was the dressing on the side salad that came with it. The dressing was too spicy for me. But overall a nice meal. Our server was attentive but not too attentive. My friends liked their meals as well. read more

Molé Restaurant - Al pastor burrito - Mexican Near Me - Spokane, Washington

First, let me say that the ambiance and vibe of the restaurant are top notch. When you walk in it feels like you've been transported to Mexico. The view of the Spokane river just tops it off. The service is quick and friendly. That is where the hood stops. We were excited by the vibe and the chips and salsa were quick to arrive. The chips are a Bit thicker than other places and the salsa was tasty. The Chori-queso was supposed to be topped with Oaxaca cheese, but this was more like mozzarella - it melted! We ordered two drinks- both looked gorgeous but tasted of nothing. The house margarita was basically lime juice and tequila, which was off-putting. When the food arrived it was clear this was not standard Mexican fare. You are greeted with the smallest sides of beans and rice known to man, and the flavor was non-existent. The mole was overly sweet and the tamale, while moist, didn't even have salt in the corn mixture. I don't recommend and based on this experience we will not return. read more

Always a great experience at Mole. They are a bit spendier than other Mexican restaurants, but it's so worth it. I ordered the tacos Al pastor with a side of rice and beans. The menu says it's $3.50 for the side, but it's $3.50 for the beans and then another for the rice. So $7 total! The rice was perfect and authentic. Beans were ok. Also ordered agua de Jamaica. It's authentic and a bitter sweet flavor. Didn't taste like the powder mix you get at the store. It was pretty quick to get our things and the waiter was very nice. Great place in Kendal yards. read more

Disappointing. My mole negro was good and flavorful but the service was terrible. I ordered a mojito and it was excessively spicy (some kind of jalapeño mojito?) and basically unpleasant. My kids were splitting nachos. They burned the nachos (didn't bring them out) and didn't bring end up bringing them out until the rest of us were basically done with dinner. The nachos they brought out were the most half-assed, sad vanilla nachos and they charged $20 for them. I had a fantastic meal the first time I ate here and was really looking forward to an occasion to return. My 2nd experience (today) was disappointing enough that I don't think we'd go back. read more

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

Amazing food. On the expensive side. Really cool interior with both indoor and outdoor seating.

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
