“ One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Everything was fresh and thoughtfully paired. It was clear the kitchen staff was very talented. The service was excellent and the views from the porch are amazing! ”
“ What an experience! We live in Chandler and have eaten here twice, this is where we take our out of town guests. Dahlia was our server both times. She is the best! She knows the menu so well and makes the best recommendations. All of the food at our table was excellent! We ordered mushroom tacos, shrimp enchiladas, salmon enchiladas, steak street tacos and mole con pollo enchiladas. While you can't go wrong with either, my favorite is the salmon enchilada. The restaurant's ambiance is perfect. I highly recommend Mole and will be back again. ”
“ Excellent meal with a decent view. Having been to Mexico, this is probably the best take on authentic traditional Mexican cuisine I've had in the US (granted, traditional/authentic Mexican restaurants aren't very common here). The drinks and meal were both great, the service was good, and the view on the patio was pretty good. It's slightly on the pricier side but we knew that going in. We had looked at a few other options while in Sedona for a couple days and saw multiple recommendations for this spot and we were both very pleased with our choice. We went early (around 4:15-4:30 on a Thursday) and were seated promptly without a reservation which was nice. Definitely would go back if I lived in this area ! ”
“ Our best food experience in Sedona. A little bit on the fancy/pricier side (but no need to wear business casual or anything). Highly recommend their tres leches cake, a little bit spongey and just the right sweetness/texture. Also really liked the ceviche, had a good green sauce that went with it all. Got a salad that tasted like authentic Cesear dressing as well. If you’re looking for a good food experience and willing to spend, this is a great option! ”
“ Excellent food. I grew up next to a Mexican restaurant that had the best mole I've ever had, and since it closed I have been searching for a mole that could measure up. This is that mole. Nostalgic and fantastic. I was surprised that it came with lemon curd, but it was easy to remove and the rest of the dish was phenomenal. I just wish that had been listed on the menu description. It also has the best prickly pear margarita I've had in Sedona. My partner got the steak entree which was excellent as well. ”
“ This is a wonderful, authentic restaurant that serves delicious Mexican food. We went during Happy Hour, and the drinks were fantastic and the portions of the tacos were large. I would highly recommend the Blood Orange Margarita with Mezcal. It had a great Smokey texture. Beautiful view, and the bartender provided great recommendations for other sights and restaurants in Sedona! ”
“ Beautiful view, amazing service, and incredible food. Fish ceviche was to dieeeeee for and the mushroom tacos were also very good. The bartender was our server. He was so helpful and kind. I would be happy eating here for every meal. Edit: We tried Cress on Oak (no one liked and it was very expensive), Mariposa (good), and The Hudson (very good) and every single person in our group liked Mole the best. I found it because we couldn’t get a reservation at Elote and one reddit post said they liked Mole better than Elote so we decided to try it since it wasn’t hard to get reservations or just walk in. I have only heard great things about Elote so I’m not trying to deter you but don’t skip on Mole just because it’s not in all the recommended blogs. I’m not sure how they aren’t but it was the best food and service we all had there. I have had a lot of great food in my life but there are very few dishes that I remember for years to come. The Cabo fish ceviche is one of those for me. My friend had never tried ceviche before and is now hooked. Again, this place was perfect. ”
“ Beautiful views and stylish decor! Service was fast—we were seated, served, and out within an hour. Highly recommend the pork chicharron—it was absolutely to die for. The prickly pear jar margarita was also super tasty and refreshing. Definitely worth a visit! ”
