The food comes out fairly quickly and the ambiance is nice. We opted for sitting outside and managed to be in a nice corner and could enjoy the weather. I always order their chicken mole enchiladas. The chicken is always just right and has big portions to even save half for later. The salsa in the chips & salsa was really good had the perfect amount of smokiness while not being spicy at all. I do love spice but this great for everyone. Great place with options for everyone.

I had the chicken tinga tacos and the chips and salsa. I sat at the bar for lunch. Overall, fabulous vibe and the service was very nice. The salsa was next level—I highly recommend it. The tacos were pretty good. A little messy, but good! Would probably try something else instead, though.

Came by to Olla in a big group and we ended up sitting outside. Order first and staff will bring the food out to you. I ended up getting a steak burrito for myself. Super wide burrito. Wish the meat quality was a bit better. Also had chips and guac and calamari to share. Both were tasty. Staff mixed up our orders a lot...but its reasonable since our party is big. The order first and take a number system is one of my least favorites since staff can be aimlessly wandering to drop food off, and might get it wrong. At the time we went, traffic was blocked off. You can park on the street or nearby garages.
