Now we have it!

    Hadn't been here in years. Very reasonable prices, entrees under $20! Fun place for our group. Waitress was very nice, The food was very good overall. My lobster quesadillas were quite yummy but portion was small, more like an appetizer. Steak fahitas was good, steak not very tender tough and skimpy on rice/ beans. Tacos were enjoyed by 2 of our party. Mexican lasagna was a bit too spicy for the person who got it, and she didn't realize it was a vegetarian dish though ingredients were listed. , maybe should label. Chicken fahitas was generous portion and enjoyed by the party who got them. The flan was good but a bit dense.

    Excellent service! The salsa is unique with a very smoky flavor and yummy. The main courses left a little to be desired but were plentiful and affordable.

    Our experience was really good. Delicious food and really good service. The restaurant was empty at the time we went, surprisingly for a Sunday noon. All of the ingredients were fresh cooked and the plate presentation was really good. There is pay by plate parking available adjacent to the restaurant which makes it convenient.

    The food was delicious! They roast the vegetables before making the salsa and it is really unique and tasty. We also loved the guacamole. In fact, we loved the guacamole and salsa so much, we were pretty full when our tacos arrived, but that worked out for having a treat the next day. We ate outside and the gate around the area and the addition of the string lights coupled with the delicious food made us forget that we were in the parking lot. The staff were friendly and attentive. Our water glasses were never empty and we always had our needs met. I highly recommend Ole and can’t wait to return!
