Dolores Providence Reviews
Authentic Mexican cuisine, but not four star dining.....
I came here for the Mole. Not many Mexican places around here offer this sauce. I have travelled to Oaxaca, Mexico, and have tasted good moles. I think some diners may not enjoy this place if they are use to the 'standard' Taco bell fares. First of all, the tortillas here are so soft and tasty; I chatted with the chef Maria who said, " our masa is imported from Mexico." this is well worth it, since most tortillas taste dry and flat. I enjoyed the 'Nopalita'. the salt cured cactus with queso fresca. It was fresh and tasty. My main course was the 'Castile en Mole Pasilla' a generous short rib braised until it was fork tender, sitting atop a Mole sauce made with Pasila chiles. This was delicious. All in all, I would return to try the other dishes. But diner be warned, the restuarant is not acoustically friendly; I mean it is LOUD.! I came on a thursday evening and when the place filled, I could not converse without yelling. This is serious problem, and even though Chef Maria has been awarded a James Beard medal for cooking; this place can never rate any higher than 3 stars. The food is excellent but the ambience is almost unbearable, and service crawls, and needs to be more professional. ~tiaotse~
I will come back
We were able to get a table on a Thursday without reservations, but you should probably make some. It was pretty busy. The food was very good. Carne Asada was excellent. It is very loud like I saw on reviews and service is slowbut friendly. I would come again!
Would that we were local
Our waiter at Persimmon recommended this spot. We got a table in the bar and had a great dinner. We started with a top notch mezcal cocktail and guacamole. Then we shared nuanced and delicious mole poblano Dan’s concluded with a moist and tasty chocolate Dulce de Leche cake. Loved it. Go! Disregard the naysayers.
Food Good, Service Slow, Sound Loud, No Refund on Deposit
Visited Providence and Dolores was recommended. Food was good, but service was very slow. Perhaps they were/are understaffed. It took a long time for drinks (30+ minutes) and when the food finally arrived it was not very warm. Disappointing. Also, the sound within the restaurant was VERY LOUD and it was hard to hear. I also made an online reservation via Tock for a party of six which required a $10 "deposit" per person. It has been two weeks after dining and I have still not been refunded my deposit.
Too loud to enjoy
It’s a great setting, but deafening. The music is too loud and the room needs some fabric to absorb sound. A few customers were actually shrieking for a long time and no one spoke to them. Too bad- food is tasty but it’s so raucous you can’t talk to each other.
?Mexican
DISGUSTING! So awful, as far as food is concerned it was terrible as far as Mexican cuisine even worse! Shameful how they are fleecing people with such awful/TASTELESS food. Mostly unedible and not too sure how people are giving this place any stars at all? Go check it out for yourself if you don't believe me. But take my word for it and save yourself $50 pp for the worst food you've ever eaten. ?Can't give this 0 stars but I would?

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Dolores Providence at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Dolores Providence page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Dolores Providence to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Dolores Providence!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
