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! M...

Worst

i came here because i had a groupon and when i showed my server that when i sat down, he was a jerk the whole time!! on the groupon, it says to show your waiter before you order....

Great Tacos, Mac and Cheese, Ritas 3/31/2007

Well, I think this is the only restaurant that can have fantastic food but still make you lose your dinner!! My husband and a few of our friends went there tonight for dinner and tried to eat their ""Great Ballz of Fire"". He almost succeeded. He made it to 4 of the 5 then lost it! Our advice: Do not eat dinner before hand as the waiter may suggest!! Prep yourself first then eat them and try your dinner. I only a half of one and was in tears! Luckly I had a yummy drink to wash it down with! more

Mini-vacation 3/23/2007

We live nearby and really enjoy sitting in the bar when we want to just grab a bit of good grub and not deal with crowds, scenes, or snooty servers. The late night happy hour dishes are really good, the drinks will take you to a tropical beach, and the barternders are always very friendly and perfectly attentive. Very relaxing for a low-key evening. We always feel like it's a short vacation. Maybe it's the caribbean bar-theme coupled with the capt. morgans, but whatever it is-it's great! Pros: good value, relaxing, tasty food and drinks Cons: small-but never seen it crowded more

Never again! 1/5/2007

My wife and I have been going to Salvador Mollys for years as we live in the area. We used to really enjoy going and looked forward to the food. The last 4 times we have gone have been terrible. The servers are extremely irritable and feel they are doing you a favor by taking your order and the food has gone down hill dramatically. I once enjoyed their ""volcano"" sandwich almost every time I went in, as it was loaded with beef and cheese on fantastic bread and came with 3 sides. This last time, the sandwich was sprinkled with some beef and cheeses over what appeared to be a hot dog bun, and a cold scoop of mashed potatoes. It tasted horrible and the server could care less. My wife used to rave about the place but has had horrible food every time of the last 4 visits. Pros: Inventive cocktail list Cons: Service and food more

Great drinks! 10/27/2006

Every chance we get, we go to Salvador Molly's. You can't beat the drinks or the food. This place is also good if you have kids with you. My kids love to toss the peanut shells on the floor. more

Tamales 8/31/2006

Eat here frequently. Definitely a recommend, with some reservations. Drinks are great. Lively atmosphere. Tamales are great and always on the menu. J*rk chicken has a lot to be desired (you can substitute). Recommend specials if there are any. Recommend blended drinks. more

Some rellenos to go with my salt? 8/9/2006

We love the tamales at Portland Market so decided to dine in at Eastside location. Plenty of seating and good enough service, but rellenos? TOO SALTY. I've been around food service too long to send back and eat what returns so we just left it. Other items--quesadilla, nachos, mojitos--were very ordinary. Other dishes may be better but we won't return to find out. Pros: Good for kids Cons: Ummm....the food? more

Great Food, Great Service! 7/6/2006

We went here early on a Friday night expecting to have to wait for an outside table, but the place wasn't crowded at all. We got a great table and enjoyed everything we had from the drinks (really yummy watermelon sangria, which was a special that day, and crisp, refreshing mojitos) to the appetizers (wonderful oysters!) to our entrees. Our server, Patty H., was super friendly and accommodating. We had a great time and left wondering why we don't go there more often! (We also got a 6-pack of their tamales to go, which heat up really great, even in the microwave.) Pros: Easy parking, friendly and efficient service, yummy food more

Great Menu and Happy Hour Specials 6/24/2006

My date and I had a lot of fun throwing the complimentry peanuts at each other. The place has a nice atmosphere which kinda takes you away from the city feeling. I'd recommned this for a casual date or just a night out with some friends for food and drinks. Definitly check out their drinks! Pros: Nice Atmoshpere, pricing, service Cons: not good if you are alergic to peanuts more

Exellent food, pretty great service usually 6/23/2006

The food here is so well prepared, and great tasting. Service has been good in my experience. Many times they have had live music. Good drinks. Once a waiter was smoking upwind from the diners and his smoke was really irritating, but that is my only complaint. Pros: Excellent food, live music, great atmosphere Cons: parking lot has steep incline, waiter's smoke drifted to outdoor dining area once more

You'll come back to bring your friends... 2/3/2006

Fun atmosphere, great food and friendly staff. We love this place. The drinks are great, I love throwing peanut shells on the floor, and I've never been disappointed with my order. My personal favorite appetizer- Cheesy Poofs, balls of cheese, peppers and mashed potato fried into fritters... ugh, a dieter's nightmare, the ultimate comfort food. Have some lighthearted fun, great for couples or singles! Pros: yummy food, light hearted fun, good drinks Cons: tight parking, tiny quarters, some rude staffers more

Awesome 9/9/2005

I've been going here since Salvador's first opened and I absolutly love it. The monsoon room has great happy hour specials. The whole menu is great. Be careful when selecting the spiciness on your order the scale is 1-20 but 10 is pretty much very hot. Love the bollitos. The one thing I don't really like are the black beans, I'm 1/2 cuban and they do not even come close to my abuela's... I've yet to find a place that can. Check it out, you won't be sorry. Pros: atmosphere, fun drinks Cons: a little small more

Like you are in the Carribean 1/16/2005

Great drinks, beer list and fabulous food. Not a romantic place, peanuts on the floor, but good ole fashion fun. Try the pork dishes, calamari, burritos, it is all very good. Great for dining on a budget. Happy hour is fun and even more affordable, but don't be fooled, the food is still as good as the main menu. Great place for fun, healthy pirate food! Pros: carribean food, sauces, service, fun!!! more

Quit your complaints salty whiner 8/5/2003

It isn't the salt, it is the spices. Have you ever travelled to a tropical paradise? This is the closest you will get to the Caribbean or Cuba. We love this place, yes some leave thirsty, but that is the cuisine! Wake up! People whine about every little thing and have no culture. The open minded folks will continue to go, not the whiners! We love Salvador Molly's they are the best, I would go weekly if I lived near by! What a place to take your taste buds to the tropics! One of a kind!!!! Pros: Fabulous food, good services, unique culinary taste Cons: there is only 1 local, small parking, crowded! more
