Salvador Molly's Cafe, Portland, OR P338
 
A Top Pick in the Area
 
Salvador Molly's claim to fame is their "Great Balls of Fire" habanero chili/cheese fritters.  Eat an order of 5 of these little devils with the sauce and they put your picture on their "wall of flame".  So naturally, being a lover of hot food, I just naturally had to try them...no problem...no sweat...but they are HOT.  SERIOUSLY HOT! I don't think a "normal" person would like them, but they are pretty tasty if you can get past the heat. 

About this time of year, Salvador Molly's has a contest to see who can eat the largest number of their "Great Balls of Fire" with proceeds going to charity.  This year's winner ate 29...but the all time record is 33.  These folks must be slightly insane. 

Otherwise, the food is good and a bit different...Jamacian through and through...Pretty tasty calamari on my Caesar salad (yeah...unfortunately it had some sort of white gloppy stuff for dressing, but it went well with the calamari).  Jamacian jerked chicken tacos...veggie burritos.  All good stuff.

The garlic flavored french fries on a nearby table looked great, but we didn't try any.

Food:  A...considering that it's not trying to be epicurian, it's very tasty.
Ambiance:  A on a warm, sunny day...otherwise a B
Attitude:  B
Parking:  Plenty in the parking lot outside. 
Service:  A
Value:  A

Overall rating:  A...kind of a fun place with tasty food.
