Salvador Molly's

Despite the reviews saying it was not great and service was slow we took a chance and found another regular spot to dine at! Very ecclectic decor and great food! Service could have been sped up a bit but we were not at all in a hurry. My husband attempted to try the "Ball of Fire" and could barely digest the one he did eat. They were so hot!

Pros: Food, Price

Cons: A Little Small

Salvador Molly's has the best food in the entire metro area. Period. It is a unique, Caribbean/Tex-Mex style, where most dishes can be ordered mild to knock-your-socks-off hot. Their scale is on the hot end, so spicy means just that. Habaneros are common, and their 'Great BaII's of Fire' are something to behold, if you have the stomach. The Mojo Pork is perhaps the best thing I personally have ever had. If mixed with a Jamaican Red, and a few baIIs it is something you have to just experience. I just wish they had not discontinued the Sunset Surf, as it was the best sandwich on the planet. There are many other options though, such as the fish taco's, jambalaya, burritos, tamales -- the list goes on. Everything I have had there is excellent.

Pros: Great food. Best.

Cons: Service marginal.

My husband and I went in for our 1st wedding anniversary last night, and I was thrilled by the ambiance. I felt like we were on vacation! The music, the decor and the cool surfing movie playing made us feel very relaxed. However, our server was not pleasant at all. She didn't smile at us once! In fact, a few of the people that worked there looked stressed out or annoyed with being there. It was a very weird feeling to be enjoying the best food of our entire lives and have our waitress be so cold. The drinks were good too. I will return again soon, I just hope we have someone else waiting on us!

Pros: Wonderful food, amazing atmosphere

Cons: Detached staff

I've eaten at Salvador Molly's a few times since they revamped their menu and I have been very impressed. I have become a fan of the African Injera Platter and (the) La Cubana; and I am not a dessert person, but the bread pudding is irresistable.

Pros: New menu items and the bread pudding

I met my sister at your west side location a few Fridays ago at 12:00. I arrived a bit early to get a seat in the bar. Not a problem. We orded an appitizer and two martinis. It took forever to get the drinks and they were horrible..... I tried a second and it was even worse.. I find the food for the price great and have eaten here many times, one of my favorites and suggested it to my sister, she was not impressed. When we did get our bill it was not correct. I understand that there off days but I think the bartenderess needs a bit more training on how to make your speciality drinks. She's was very pleasant and enjoyable.

Pros: Parking is limited

Cons: Love the menu

Absolutly the worst catering company in Portland. OVER PRICED, charge extra for everything, everything is canned. No, the staff does not get the "customary service charge".

I went to the location on the east side a few times before it closed down and never had any major problems. On 01/26/08 I went to the west side location and was really disappointed. It took way too long for us to get our drink order. Granted it was a busy Saturday night but it was clearing out once we sat down. I ordered a sparkling water, not complicated at all, and I had to ask for it 3 times before I actually received it. I didn't get my water until I was halfway finished with my meal. We also ordered an appetizer that never arrived. In the end we were charged an automatic 18% gratuity for a group of 6 so I had no recourse for the bad service I received. I've heard of that policy for groups of 8, but not for groups of 6. The food was pretty good but could have been warmer upon arrival.

I was going to take my husband out for Veteran's day dinner to Salvador Molly's, so called for reservation -Hi, like to make a reservation, -For howmany ? -four -we don't make reservation for four.... -Why not ? -Too a few... -Oh,...so how long is the wait around 6 PM - I dunno.... (dial tone) I guess they are so great, no need for customer service.... luckily, this town is full of great restaurants!

I have only been here twice but both times were fairly good. The happy hour was fab. The nachos were very original tasting and left me very satisfied with the flavor, but I had to orger another dish to fill me up. The Happy hour rum drink specials are great. The cute girl bartender that I had there poured my drinks long and strong. So not bad over-all. Great place to check out during Happy Hour, otherwise I wouldn't waste my time and money. Staff are cool to, very portland, ya know.

Pros: Happy hour, atmosphere, peanuts on the floor

Cons: Service is OK, Non-Smoking Bar, expensive when not in HH

My husband and I decided to give Salvador's a try based on it's happy hour rating. It was just average. Food was ok, decent flavor but small portions, even for happy hour. The drinks were not great. Fresh fruit juice makes a big difference, and theirs are made with canned or concentrate. I even bought one off of the regular drink menu (not happy hour). Our server was pleasant. Maybe if we had ordered off of the regular menu we would have liked the food better, but not worth going back when there are places out there like "Oba" with an amazing happy hour for around the same price.
