    We visit Palm Desert every winter and had been looking for some really good Mexican food when I read about Mole in the Palm Springs magazine. We decided to give it a try and invited some friends to join us. We loved the food from the appetizers to our entrees. Everything was so fresh and full of flavor. Didn't have time to return before heading home but will definitely visit again next year.

    As always, a great dining experience! Val,our waitress, was friendly and fun! Food presentation was gorgeous! Very tasty. The noise level is always a bit high but I guess when a restaurant is popular, that’s to be expected!! Can’t wait to return!
    Mole Palm DesertResponded on April 5, 2025
    Dear Lynne, Thank you for your continued support and for the lovely review! We are so glad you had another great experience—Val will be thrilled to hear your kind words. We truly appreciate you choosing to dine with us and look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Warmly, The Mole Team

    Service was poor. Slow, unresponsive, not familiar with items on menu. Everything else was good or very good.

    Food was great in general. We just had disappointing service. Seemed like brand new to being servers or just too many tables so very distracted.

    We had been to Mole in Sedona and loved it, so we were happy to visit the Palm Desert location when we were in town. Great choice, as the food, drinks and service were on point! Sorry my pics don’t have official dish names in the captions 😊
    Mole Palm DesertResponded on April 5, 2025
    Dear Julie, Thank you for visiting us in Palm Desert and for the kind words! We are so glad you enjoyed your experience just as much as you did in Sedona. Food, drinks, and service are what we take pride in, and we appreciate your support across both locations. Looking forward to welcoming you again soon. Warmly, The Mole Team
