Móle Mexican Bar & Grill - Upper East Side

"Amazing restaurant! Excellent service, especially Gus who served us and others. Beautiful ambiance, and delicious food! This is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant. The guac, shrimp camaron, carne asada - the skirt steak was cooked to perfection, and the "cherry on the sundae" is their homemade tres leches cake, the best I ever tasted! The drinks were delicious too, I had the strawberry margarita. I will be back and can't wait! Thank you M'ole for the best dining experience and night spent in the city!"

"We had a good experience when we came two years ago but I guess that was due to COVID making us one of the only tables in the place. Tonight we were not impressed at all though, $50 for two drinks and some nachos and we were barely attended to by the servers. The restaurant was crowded but not at capacity, however it looked like there was only one or two servers working plus the food runners, who were all essentially sprinting back and forth. I felt bad for all of them because the place looked understaffed, probably due to greedy owners who would rather keep the profits for themselves than pay additional workers. It was a really disappointing experience, especially seeing the servers constantly wait on the large party next to us while every table of two was left in the dust. This experience honestly makes me less likely to even go to a restaurant in the future; it’s disheartening to spend such a large sum of money just to be made to feel like an afterthought."

"Ive been here twice and have enjoyed both visits. We chose to sit outside, and that did not effect our service. Waiter was kind and quick with our stuff. We started with the empanadas and they were very good. The crema and sauce that came with it elevated the flavors and I enjoyed it. The mains were also good, flavorful except for the rice and beans. I almost feel like the star of the dishes are what you order and the rice and beans are second thought. The drinks were good as well, good size and alcohol present. The pina colada tastes exactly as it should, and I had a watermelon margarita. It was good, watermelon flavor was light. Overall, I enjoyed this spot and would return or recommend!"

"The guac was huge, but tasty. Definitely need three people to finish it. My dad really liked the mole. My other dad really liked the omelette. My fried shrimp tacos were AMAZING. Perfectly battered and fried. HUGE portion sizes though. So full. Took it home. I also believe this is woman owned at least bc I think the woman who greeted us was the owner and really wanted us to enjoy."

"Over priced, drunk server, rude staff, and counts children as adults. 1. Older Hispanic lady aggressively attempted to upsell us their guacamole; $13 for one avocado and $17 for 2 avocados. My burrito was the most expensive I've ever had and only had a scant amount of chicken. It was mostly rice and veggies. This quality of food does not match their pricing. 2. We had three different servers throughout our dining experience. The last server brought us the check 3/4 of the way as we were eating our meal and appeared intoxicated. After handing him my card and noticing the automatic 20% gratuity charge, I drew a line across the tip line. He returned a few minutes later confronting me about not leaving a tip. I told him the gratuity was already charged and that I did not intend to leave an additional tip. His responses were slurred, his gait unsteady, eyes glassy, and obviously intoxicated. I cut my conversation short with him at that point. 3. We were a party of 3 adults and 2 children under 9yo. The kids were counted as adults when calculating the party size. 4. Overall, my experience was extremely poor. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone nor will I return. 5. Since I'm a positive person, I will say that their background music was nice."
