Holé Molé in Tulsa

We ate at Hole Mole tonight for dinner. It was very good. I got the combination platter and my wife got hole’ mole chicken platter. She said hers was very good. I liked mine. Parking in the area can be a challenge. I backed into a spot on 15th St. I recommend going and giving it a try especially if you like mole’ sauce.Parking: I was able to find a free parking spot in 15 th St . You have to back into the spot. A slight pain the butt. The parking free is behind the restaurants in the area and there are several restaurants on 15th Street. They also refer to the street as Cherry Street.Kid-friendliness: No problem for children to eat here.Wheelchair accessibility: No problem getting a wheelchair into the restaurant. The outside sitting might be a major challenge. The men’s restroom is handicapped equipped. A stainless steel bar next to a large toilet.

Final Score: Final score: 46/60Holé Molé has reopened at its new location on Cherry Street, offering Oaxaca-style Mexican cuisine under the leadership of Chef Manny.“Chorizo Mussels”Mussels are bathed in a heavenly chorizo and coconut cream sauce infused with chipotle, tomatoes, watermelon radish, and cilantro, served alongside warm bolillo bread. The dish flirts with transcendence, beginning with bold chorizo flavors, unfolding into delicate, spicy middle notes of coconut, cream, cumin, and perhaps a hint of cinnamon, before closing with a perfect briny finish from the mussels. Deep, rich, and decadently delightful, this is a true culinary masterpiece.“Queso Fundido”This traditional Mexican cheese dish is adorned with asada. The cheese is perfectly melted featuring a delicious slightly nutty flavor profile.“Aguachili”This dish showcases lime-cured mahi-mahi with red onion, cucumber, cilantro, avocado, serrano, and radish, forming a well-composed aguachile. The flavor profile is predominantly acidic, with each bite delivering a sharp, citrusy burst, followed by mellow middle notes of avocado and finishing with subtle hints of onion and cucumber. The serrano adds a gentle kick at the end. While visually stunning, the sauce overwhelms the dish, leaving many of the other components lost in translation.“Bone Marrow”This dish featured a generous helping of roasted beef on top adding an extra dimension of richness to each bite.“Bone-In Pork Chop”The pork chop is tender, juicy, and marinated in al pastor, then grilled to perfection and topped with a roasted pineapple salsa, served alongside traditional rice and beans. The beautiful char adds a smoky depth to each bite, with initial notes of smoke giving way to tangy hints from the marinade and a sweet finish from the pineapple. The rich pork flavor remains the star of the dish, never overshadowed by the al pastor marinade or pineapple salsa. The rice and beans offer traditional flavors that complement the dish well.“Guajillo Glazed Salmon”Grilled salmon is presented with a guajillo glaze, served on a bed of poblano risotto. The salmon, cooked medium-well, was slightly overcooked, resulting in a firmer texture that didn’t quite reach its full potential. The fruity and tangy guajillo was pronounced with the delicate taste of the fish to come through at the end of the bite. The risotto, in contrast, was exceptional—beginning with rich poblano notes, transitioning into a subtle sweetness, and finishing with decadent, buttery end notes that beautifully coated the palate. It’s easily one of the best risottos I’ve had in Tulsa.“Chamorro”A braised pork shank rests atop a poblano rajas mashed potato. The pork shank is braised to perfection, offering initial notes of smoky chile that transition into earthy middle notes of oregano and bay leaf, with a lovely spicy finish. The mashed potatoes present flavors of poblano and spice, with pronounced tangy end notes, possibly from Mexican crema or sour cream. While the seasoning slightly overpowered the potato, the dish remains well-composed and satisfying.Final thoughts:Holé Molé presents a creative approach to Oaxaca-style Mexican cuisine, with standout dishes like the rich poblano risotto and the chorizo mussels, which offers a perfect balance of smoky, spicy, and savory notes. The mussels, in particular, were a highlight, with layers of flavor that unfolded beautifully with each bite.There are some critiques in other areas, such as the slightly overcooked salmon and an overly acidic aguachile, where the flavors became unbalanced. I would recommend you give Holé Molé a try and enjoy some elevated Mexican food located right off of Cherry Street. Until next time, let’s eat.

Wonderful food and happy hour is $2 tacos and $5 sangria and margaritas!!! Absolutely a great find and some of the best Mexican you will find in all of OklahomaKid-friendliness: They made the kiddo a nonalcoholic mango drink to match our sangria and margaritas as he wanted a "grown up" drink

Cool hip atmosphere with friendly staff and they got crayons and a coloring sheet for my toddler.The Sangria I got was great!The food on the other hand was not that great.We got the chicken platter with the sauce. We got 3 specialty sauce to try out and honestly, I could barely taste the difference between them. The chicken was also really really bland.The sope was nothing out of the ordinary and extra expensive because we're in a sit down place. They best part was the pork belly "bites". A bit too big a chunk to call them bites, but whatever. They were candied up with a sweet sauce.Overall cool place. Bland main entree. Good pork belly.Definitely a one and done for food, but would be a cool place to come hang out with friends on a Friday night for a few drinks.Kid-friendliness: Had coloring sheet and crayons for my 1 year old.

Visiting in town from Missouri, and this is the best place I have ever eaten ! And the cocktails are amazing ! I had the lunch enchiladas, and the birria tacos! And to drink an old fashioned and my friend had pink peppercorn. Very impressed ! Mandy & Manny have created yet another amazing experience ! And Shay our bartender gave us great service as well!!!!

So SO happy Holé Molé is back! Their mole is so delicious and it was well worth the wait.The decor is super cute and the atmosphere was fun and inviting. Not to mention their delicious $5 margaritas.We got a few different kinds of tacos (for taco Tuesday, of course) and also got the chicken taquitos and enchiladas with a delicious rajas crema. We can't wait to go back.

In a sea of Tex-Mex, be a molė! I will echo everyone else and recommend the birria. I wish I had ordered more of it! The dishes were full of unexpected ingredients, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The $5 Tequini will be my go to drink when I visit in the future. As a big fan of their sister restaurant, Bird and Bottle, I had high expectations for the cocktails. They are too sweet for my taste but will satisfy most customers. The vibe is super relaxed and the staff certainly made me feel appreciated. See you soon, Hole Mole!

I love going to Holé Molé with friends and family! Their salsas are delicious, and everything I’ve tried on the menu has been sooo good. Be warned, don’t wear light colors if you plan on ordering the birria quesadilla as it is just as messy to eat as it is tasty 😅 The owner/manager is so kind and funny, service is always on point, and the decor of the restaurant is unique and lovely. You don’t wanna miss this gem in Tulsa!

Omg so good! Tasty food, fun atmosphere, and great vibe overall. We ate the guacamole to start then shredded chicken mole with rojo, verde, and Oaxacan mole (yes! You get 3!). I love that the mole is not drowning the chicken and on the side. & did I say you get 3 moles? The tortillas are made in-house & fabulous. I think they only have corn? Would love to see what they would do with housemade flour tortillas. We sat at the bar and my partner had a mezcal drink and a tequini (he chose salty route for tequini and it tasted like a martini, not just salt rimmed). Both were great!Why are you still reading? Go go go!

From the host stand to your table everyone is super friendly. The vibe here is very relaxed. I’m not much of a drinker but they have a really great mock tail selection. And the food is absolutely amazing it literally makes me feel like I’m back in my grandmas kitchen. This is and will always be my new favorite spot.Kid-friendliness: I don’t have kiddos but the host and servers from what I noticed definitely engage with them.

Don’t waste your money!The food was okay. I got the queso fundido (it was okay) I also got the Asada tacos, which I don't know how you can mess those up, but somehow they were rubbery. One can tell they use cheap meat, yet the owner manages to charge $13 for horrible tacos. My spouse ordered the chicken flautas; they didn’t taste like anything out of this world. By the time we got the $15 flautas, they were soggy, more like chilaquiles.The drinks were good. However, what really annoyed us was that they charged a 9.1 ate% tax on top of the alcohol and sales tax. As someone who has worked in the service industry and still has many close friends that work for local restaurants, it would be annoying and quite embarrassing to communicate that to customers after they visit. Managers should communicate this to customers before dining at the restaurant because their prices are not cheap. Not understand why they are extra an extra inflation tax with $13 tacos feel bad for our waitress, it was not hard to tell she was very uncomfortable having to explain this charge.With that said, instead of eating basic food. Go and support an authentic Latino owned restaurant. Tulsa is stepping up the food scene. Don’t settle for expensive basic food.

After being seated, between myself and two others we ordered the pork belly bites, the hole mole with three moles, and the barbacoa platter. Before our meal came out, we were given two types of salsa, one was a tomato/garlic that didn't quite seem to pair with the theme of the food. The salsa verde lacked any spice to it, which I thought was a shame, but still tasty. Maybe it's just mine and my husband's personal tastes, but we didn't like the tortillas or chips. They had that flavor of added calcium, we prefer it without, but we know a lot of people don't mind it. I had ordered a n/a hibiscus drink, I can say was super tasty, but you could have fooled me into thinking it was an orange drink since it tasted more like orange than hibiscus! The belly pork bites were tasty, but had more of an Asian inspired aesthetic taste and look, but over all tasty, and as an appetizer it came after our meal because there wasn't enough pork belly prepared. We all agreed that the price was high for a platter that is to be an appetizer/shared among people but it was was pleasant to look at. The barbacoa platter my husband had was tender and tasty, but a suggestion would be to have less fat be served with it and the mole put to the side (he didn't care for it). As far as the hole mole for two, it just wasn't it. It was plated really nicely but the moles were just not right. I understand they are made differently from where my father, my family and I are from, but we were not impressed. One of the key factors was that it lacked the spice depth that these savory sauces have. Maybe chicken breast would be better instead of using thighs....We went because it said it was authentic Mexican tastes, we were wary of the price but we gave it a try. Needless to say we will not return, not because the food was bad, but it was disappointing for us who have had authentic Mexican taste/food and we believe the price doesn't match up to what was given. What's more is that while the table service was good, we had to approach the counter for our check and again to give them our card to pay. The restaurant wasn't busy at the time either. The only other table there had their check taken to and received from them at their table.But for anyone who wants to try a more authentic approach it's a good start, and it's a neat experience.

What a surprisingly pleasant evening use of the Bramble (breakfast and lunch only)! The food is always wonderful with six regular choices of mole' and a special addition monthly. The chef's special offers unique blends of taste and texture. The service is thorough, consistent and conversational to taste. We also love their happy hour.

Enjoyed a dinner with 3 other people . Chips and salsa were provided with 2 different sauces. Chips were warm and plentiful . Sauces were both really good. Server was attentive and accommodating for vegetarian options. Everyone loved their meals. We all had different items; avocado tacos, steak quesadillas, spinach enchiladas and sliced steak. Thumbs up to all! Habanero risotto was great as a side dish although it bordered on being too salty. Definitely going back!Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options. Server recommendations were helpful for black beans instead of refried. Also there’s risotto instead of rice as the rice cooked in chicken broth. Avocado tacos were delicious as was the spinach enchiladas, both vegetarian.

Fantastic from top to bottom. Every dish and drink has its own unique flavor and texture. The pork belly is the best in Tulsa, and the bone marrow infused salsa is as unique as it is rich. The rajas con crema will leave you wondering what sorcery the chef is up to.Will be back for sure. Destined to be the next big hit on Cherry St and the city as a whole.

Just went in to this restaurant with my family and waited for 20 minutes without talking to a single person, besides the hostess who sat us. Two other tables got sat 5-10 minutes after us and had their food and drink orders taken before us. Ended up leaving without talking to a server at all, after being looked at by several waiters and bar staff. Let the hostess know how disappointed we were and left. Will never go back.

I really hate to write this review, but unfortunately it’s important for health reasons. I want to preface this by saying two things. 1. I have been celiac and gluten-free since 2006. I’m very careful about where I eat and I ask a lot of questions about the menu before I ever order anything. 2. We had been very excited to try this place, as we were never able to go when it was in its old location.We arrived, got seated, and was greeted by our waitress very quickly. I began asking a lot of questions about the gluten/gluten-free label on the menu. The server assured me that any of the options with the label CONTAINED gluten. She said that it was easier for them to mark the ones that contain gluten, than to mark the ones that didn’t. Because there were more gluten-free items on the menu than not.I decided to get the dinner combo - A chicken tamale plus a chicken enchilada, and I opted for two servings of beans and no rice.When my plate arrived, the first thing I noticed was that there were two servings of rice, and no beans. I immediately asked the food delivery person to bring me the beans like I had requested in the first place.I ate the tamale, which was delicious. And then moved onto eating the enchilada. I noticed, while I was eating the enchilada that it seemed a lot chewier than a typical enchilada would be.The last few bites I scooped the chicken out and ate it without the tortilla. As I looked at the inside of the tortilla without the mole sauce on top, I realized that it didn’t look like a corn tortilla.The food delivery person stopped back by to ask about our meal, and I asked him about whether or not the tortilla in the combo was supposed to be corn or wheat. I pulled up the menu to show him that on the menu The dinner combo is not marked as “contains gluten” Therefore, the tortilla should not be flour. He agreed with me, but also agreed that the tortilla looked like a flour tortilla.He went back into the kitchen to check, and when he came back out, he informed me that the menu had been mislabeled. Meaning, the item that was unmarked and supposed to be gluten-free, actually should have been marked because it contained gluten in it.The staff was very accommodating. But at that point, what can you do when you’ve just eaten an entire flour tortilla after not having eaten flour in 18 years?I am fortunate in that I don’t go into anaphylaxis in situations like this, but that is not the case for everyone. A slip up like this could mean life or death for some individuals.While the server tried to tell us to come back again and give them another shot… We will not be back. As a gluten free person for 18 years, I cannot trust their menu or their kitchen to pay attention to requests or abide by what they have deemed “safe”.

Brunch on a Saturday, a beautiful day to sit in the patio area. We waited a lot, which was not bad since we had time and it was a nice day. But it took more than ten minutes for someone to get to us to answer questions about the menu (dietary needs). Another ten or so to take orders. Forgot to bring us chips and salsa. Took our drink order just before food came out. Then we waited again for the drinks.Drinks: I would recommend sticking to their cheaper drinks menu. I ordered the specialty cocktail Oaxacan Old Fashioned and it was very poorly made. No complexity of flavor or layers.Food: I like the concept (although the slogan “authentic Mexican food” is misleading as it is more of a fusion concept). We ordered Aguachile and Pork Belly Bites. The Aguachile was good. Nice heat in the lime sauce and good flavors. But the mahi was very small and inconsistently sized, more like a tartar. The pork belly was cooked well, delicious, I mean, can you go wrong with salty fatty pork?It had a thick sweet sauce reminiscent of teriyaki (which was uniquely combined with guacamole). It was very different than what was described in the menu. Both dishes were not as expected from their descriptions on the menu and from the server.Altogether, it was okay, like a lot of Tulsa restaurants. With some better attention and refinement it could even become good.Dietary restrictions: Easily able to accommodate for dairy allergy.

Service was ok, food didn’t taste anything like Mexican food, burrito was soggy, kind of cold, also rice was over cooked, the sauce was definitely not Mexican, sorry to be so hones. Prices are really high for that type of food, no Apple Pay to pay at the restaurant only cash or plastic, I would not recommend to any of my family members or friends, need a major improvement in your business if you want to compete in this market.

Went on a Friday night after yoga and got a great spot at a high top in the bar area. We were immediately greeted by the bar tender and she was so nice! Chips and two salsas were delicious. ordered tacos and they were yummy! Guac was great. margarita was great. Food was great, can't wait to go when they open on cherry street! But I would have to say the service was what made this a wonderful evening. Our server was such a joy to interact with.

I’ve read all of the fantastic reviews that lead to a visit at this restaurant but what we received was awful. First, arriving the waiter was terrible, he waited 20 minutes before asking a drink order, mind you there were only two other people here on a Friday night. Then once we ordered drinks, had a question about the menu to which the waiter was rude and really didn’t answer my question. So we stayed and got our food however was terrible… nachos were burnt quesadilla was soggy and rice was crunchy? Like how? Then the other couple with us had ordered an appetizer and barely even got it the manager had to put in the order cause the waiter had forgotten even after asking and also getting more chips was like pulling teeth. The server was more concerned about checking out the females walking by than assisting the paying table. Overall really bad service and maybe an off night for the cook. Highly don’t recommend. Also, the prices paid for what we got was absolutely ridiculous, there are far better Mexican restaurants in Tulsa than this place.

Ate here for the first time last night and very much enjoyed the experience! We'll definitely be back. Note that this is not your typical "Mexican" / TexMex restaurant, so if you are looking for that kind of experience you may want to go elsewhere.The food at Hole Mole is unusual (for Tulsa), creative and delicious. We had the Pollo con Papas (chicken with potatoes) which was served in a delicious mole sauce. Also had the fish tacos, which were the best I've had. Much of the menu is centered around their 5 mole sauces. They have interesting cocktails and good margaritas.The food is reasonably priced and atmosphere is hip yet relaxed. Service was friendly and attentive (thanks Sarah!). Portions were very civilized - enough to be full with maybe a bit of room for desert, but not so obscene that you feel over-stuffed and need a 2-lb take home box.The one thing I'd like to ask from this restaurant is to please add more vegetarian options! The menu was almost entirely meat-based. The addition of a few more vegetarian options to the menu (both appetizers and mains) would take this place from a 9 to a 10/10.

I have now dined here twice. The first time better than the latest. The first time I had the sope which was pretty good. The latest visit I had the poblano chicken enchiladas which were not good, somehow too dry and too wet at the same time with no flavor. I do like the salsa trio, it has nice flavors.Service was good. I don’t think we will visit this restaurant again. There are much better restaurants with Mexican food in Tulsa.

FINALLY!!! Authentic enchiladas mole come to Tulsa!!I've waited almost 20 years for someone who can make authentic unique mole and not just tex-mex red/green sauce.Even nicer you get 5 mole sauce options from which to choose. And they let you have a pork steak chicken and cheese enchilada.And another nice little detail you don't just have to get rice and beans you can get rice and grilled vegetables which was a nice refreshing change for a simple but complimentary side.

Had high expectations of this place. We went in on a Friday with a group of 9 and the service was fine and the atmosphere was aesthetically pleasing but the food was lacking. The table got a variety of food that included chicken tacos, taco dorados, chicken taquitos, birra tacos, etc. Mostly everyone agreed that the food was overpriced and was lacking in flavor/or the meat was too dry. They don’t have a “house” salsa so you can order a trio with chips for $9 but you won’t get the classic chips and salsa for free like you would elsewhere. Everyone got an alcoholic drink and they were I would say a 4/10. Overall 3 stars, just left something to be desired especially for the menu prices.

New place but recently nominated for prestigious James Beard Award. Happy Hour specials like $2 tacos and $5 Sangria are hard to beat. They have monthly dinner specials and they have all been good. Locally owned. In the same building as Bramble. Switches to dinner at 3 or 4. Ingredients are fresh. Prices are reasonable. Highly, highly recommend this place.

The food was delicious. Presentation great. Drink menu had lots of unique combinations. And the best part was they had five different flavors of mole to choose from. We will be going back to try other entrees and small plates. The only disappointing factor was that we were not physically capable of trying everything on the menu in one night.

Food was mostly a hit and but some small misses too. Overall the service was excellent, they took extra time to talk about their moles. Ended up getting the chicken mole for 2 and they were perfectly clear that it's basic boiled chicken so beware if you get the mole on the side like us. The mole were about right not being overly sweet like some restaurants where you cannot taste the chilies. Rice was cooked perfectly and not over salty. Got asada tacos as well and they were the bland part, better at some taco trucks, but this is hole mole not hole taco. Overall if you want something other than the normal tex mex I'd give this a try.

Wonderful atmosphere great service. The food was disappointing. Ordered the tostadas and couldn’t eat them. They were so salty and sweet. I was expecting more like a regular tostada, but it was a breakfast tostada. I had them leave off the egg and had the pork. They topped it with a sauce that was so sweet and salty. I also ordered a side of avocado and sour cream. The sour cream tasted like it had gone bad. I think they used some sort of seasoning in it. My granddaughter couldn’t eat hers also. She had the same dish I had. The avocado was great. I don’t know if we will be back. My granddaughter wants to give it another try.

Want to love them so badly, but they are not vegan friendly at all. We ordered the vegan enchiladas as the waitress had told us it was totally vegan (without the cheese). There are no side options as the rice has chicken broth and the beans have lard, and some of the salsa's have animal products in them as well, so we ordered just a side of veggies, which were promised to be vegan after we asked multiple times. We later found out, they cook all of their veggies in butter, making them not vegan. When asked if they could cook the veggies without butter, they said they were unable to do so and cannot make any modifications to accommodate vegans.PLEASE make options for those with dietary restrictions and educate staff on what is in your food, so those of us with allergies are not surprised when we eat something that makes us ill after being promised it did not contain anything we couldn't eat. Not asking for an entire menu, but would love to just have some veggies without it being drenched in butter.

Not a single element of the meal was close to satisfactory.Ordered to go, and they forgot nearly half of the items: side of mole—nope. Tortillas—nope. Rice and beans—nope. (To be fair, the container was at least labeled “rojo”; which is a funny name for the ice cream that was actually in it.)The barbacoa was both cold AND undercooked, which is a miracle until you realize it was probably cooked yesterday and microwaved. Everything was completely unseasoned. The vegetables could have come from a can.The sole flavor of their house mole is bitter. There was no balance of mild sweetness, acidity, chili, or other seasoning that could cut through it.The single teaspoon of guacamole was decent despite being brown and about as room temp as the barbacoa. You could say this was because I got it to go, but the other dish was piping hot, as was the chocolate mousse that was packaged on top of it.

Went in here after an event across the street, at Center for Public Secrets. Three adults, one kid, all starving. There's one, maybe two tables that are occupied. We sit down and wait for service. 10 minutes go by. Ok, maybe you're supposed to order at the counter?We approach counter. Now we have a server's attention. Oh, I wasn't fast enough for you? he says. My apologies for not being super-fast, ok?! he says, in a passive-aggressive tone, leaning much more to the aggressive side of that equation.The kid is really, really hungry. His mom gets him some queso fundido, but the tortillas run out. No attempt to see if he wants more, if we want to order some food, whatever. The guy finally takes our order, trying to remember everything rather than simply writing it down. But he doesn't remember everything. So he has to try to reconstruct what everyone ordered, squinting and gesturing... You had the tostadas, no...YOU had the tostadas... no, let's see...Guy disappears to do what, I don't know. No one else has come in the restaurant. He never checks on us. Maybe he feels bad. Probably not. He's probably out back, vaping and feeling superior to lame-o people who expect him to like, "serve" food and drinks or whatever. My house margarita has that syrupy, sticky taste of a mix. But tostadas, rice, beans, are all tasty, wholesome. I have no complaints about the food. It's quite good actually, and I have no problem with the kid grabbling the queso fundido like its play-dough and shoving it in his mouth. God forbid the brilliant man tasked with such a lowly job get him more tortillas.
