Molé

“Love this place so much!! Definitely try the passion fruit margarita and the Baja beer battered mahi mahi tacos. The place is beautiful and on sunny days there’s a patio with a view of downtown Spokane!”

“One of our favorite spots. The drinks are some of the best in town, especially if you like Mezcal—best Mezcal cocktails in town easily. They run the gamut from dark and smoky with the Mezcal Old Fashioned to like an summery with the Mezcal Basil Smash (a lot like a cucumber gimlet, but with Mezcal). Food is great. I always gravitate toward the Mole Negro. it's excellent with any of the protein options, but I like the camarones or salmon. We also had the baja fish tacos last night and they were very good as well—the mango salsa on top really made them. It's worth noting that the salsa that comes with standard chips and salsa is excellent. And the sides on dishes are great, too. For instance, the camarones with mole negro included a sauteed plantain that was incredible. I do prefer patio seating, overlooking the trail and river, to the indoor seating. Indoors feels somewhat like a cafeteria with the seating setup. And when they're busy, the service can be somewhat chaotic. But overall this is still a spot we love to return to and would easily recommend.”

“Bold Flavors and Scenic Views – A Must-Visit Mexican Gem in Spokane Molé is a delightful find in Spokane—a Mexican restaurant that truly lives up to its name, with refined dishes and layered flavors that stay with you long after the meal. I ordered the ceviche mixto, and it was exquisite. Featuring four types of seafood swimming in a rich, creamy tigre de leche, the dish burst with spice, citrus, and zest, striking the perfect balance of bright acidity and indulgent creaminess. My only regret? The portion size was smaller than I hoped—I could have easily devoured two servings and still wanted more. In fact, I asked for a spoon just to make sure I didn’t leave a single drop behind. The tortilla chips and salsa served as an appetizer were also memorable. The corn tortilla chips were the perfect thickness—clearly house-made—and paired beautifully with a smoky, charred tomato salsa. While the blue corn chips were a bit thinner than I usually prefer, both styles were satisfying, and neither was overly salty, which let the salsa’s deep, roasted flavor shine. And let’s not forget the view—the patio seating overlooks a charming bridge and waterfall, offering a peaceful and picturesque backdrop to the meal. It’s the kind of setting that makes you want to linger just a little longer. I absolutely loved the vibrant colors, tangy flavors, and thoughtful preparation in every element of the meal. I’m already planning to come back to try more ceviche options—maybe the aguachile next time for a spicier kick. Molé is a must-visit for anyone exploring the Spokane area and craving elevated Mexican cuisine with heart, heat, and soul.”

“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.”

“The food was actually extremely disappointing. It looked good, and the servers were great it was very fast coming out, but the mole rojo was very bland, the pork was fatty and cartilaginous. My husband also was extremely upset. His barbacoa de barrago seemed to be disconnected from the rest of the plate and the flavors did not complement each other. He described it as very bland. I also got a quesadilla with Oaxaca cheese and it had cheddar instead and tasted like a gringo made it. I went to Oaxaca a few months ago and was very excited to show him, but we left after spending $85, and my husband was very upset. Maybe the chef needs to redo their recipes or something.”
