drinks good, food bad, Salvador Mollys PDX.
10 years ago I loved this place. It's colorful, international in food an decor, and has a great beer and drink menu. However, the food has
not been great for years. I don't know when the cooks changed, but it was more than a few years ago. Now it tends to pick up every food trend, good or bad, that passes through portland--gravy on fries, etc. I think it's supposed to have a pirate feel now--as in the cook of the ship isn't that great and food isn't that fresh. All we had today was a side order of fries and they couldn't get that right. They had the heat (barely warm) and texture (chewy) as if it was 20 minutes at least sitting out of the hot oil under a heat lamp. There were only 3 or 4 tables of people in the restaurant, how can you screw up fries?
They seem to pride themselves on bad service as well. Not only did they leave a pitcher of water on our table (read 'we don't want to have to come back to fill your water') but the waiter didn't even fill our first glass. We had to serve ourselves! The drinks are good and I will likely go back for those, after all, i can eat free peanuts while i drink

My Only Favorite Restaurant.
Salvador Molly's in my only choice.
When I order the Pampas Chimichurri Steak, I wiggle in my chair with joy and excitement. It is always delicious and cooked to my taste!
My husband and I go there as often as we can and are always extremely pleased with the food, service and price. He always says that it is the best dining out investment he makes.
I can't wait to to eat there again!

pirate lunch!. First off, the habanero fritters are really hot. but they are also really good. I wouldn't suggest them if you have to do anything important later in the day though. You have been warned. Otherwise I'd suggest the Jerk chicken. Juicy, flavorful, and filling, you won't be disappointed. View Less …
Ok, but not worth it.
First of all, the service was good. It was busy but we were seated and the waitress was friendly. We finished the jug of water though and
it wasn't refilled until a while later.
Yes I finished the Great Balls of Fire challenge but it was difficult not because of the heat but because it taste like crap. The fritters were tasteless and SUPER dry. The salsa was ok though.
With that over I waited for my food along with my wife's and four others. I expected at least decent food since there's so many people eating here but I was dead wrong. My tamale was dry. The chicken was dry and way too much maza (corn meal?). All my sides weren't even that good. None of us like our food. The best dish was the onion rings.
The food in general tasted very generic. I could walk into any Mexican restaurant (or Thai and any other curltural food they serve) and I'm sure I would get better tasting food.
The six of us walked away with a $110 bill. Kinda pricey and totally not worth it.

Some great, some just OK.
Our family that includes 3 small children decided to check this place out. I downed a couple of fireballs. They were hot and tasted ok
but I wouldn't say anything to go wow-wee over. My wife ordered the fish tacos. They were better than average.
I think there were 3 major things I didn't like about the place = the kids menu didn't include a drink and getting them a small pop or lemonade sets us back 2 bucks each. The seats/seating was something out of a poverty stricken country (maybe the image they were shooting for??). The bill was a bit high - most likely because of the kids drinks.
Some small irritating issues - the pinwheel and cheese was too mozzerellish (sp?).. The kids burrito was some monsterous thing that was just ok. I really think if they are shooting for a family atmosphere it would help if they take another look at thier kids menu.
I did like the co-owner or manager stopping by to see how things were, I thought they had many unique dishesand they looked very good. They really pile on the food there so I'd suggest you consider sharing a dish unless you like leftovers.
The place is small and parking is pretty bad. I think the place being small isn't really bad....it's kind of fun being chummy with your fellow diner, maybe share a few of his fries, etc. I kind of wished they had something other than halbenero for hot stuff. It's neat they have this but it would be great if they had several other homemade hot sauses to choose from.. I gave 4 stars because the other dishes looked pretty good. Based on our experience I think it would be 3.
