We went here for Mother's Day and not only was the food excellent, but they also gave me a rose with a nice note. Great mojitos, steak and shrimp fajitas, and carnitas enchiladas. And bonus: there was enough food for dinner so I didn't have to cook!

Took a very long time. Couldn't get server's attention. Never received chips/salsa. Ordered Guac, which they brought at end but told us they ran out of chips and left. How do you eat the guacamole? Still charged for it. So disappointed. But food still delicious.

Took 30 minutes to get sat down for our reservation. Our server didn’t come over for the first 30 minutes as well. Guacamole was good. Tacos el pastor was ok, chicken fajitas were not cooked and tortillas were clearly reheated poorly. Manager who was the host did not properly take into account the amount of reservations they should take as people stood on top of our table when we could barely fit the food, was making me feel slightly unsanitary. Despite being the manager, he told ever other patron it was a 15 minute wait “for reservations” even though it was clearly 30+ minutes and he knew it.

The food was good and the general vibe was nice, although a bit loud. Unfortunately our server seemed out of it and when she brought two beef dishes to the table that were cooked to medium temp when the orders were for medium rare she elected to argue that my husband and my daughter both said medium and not medium rare when they ordered. Aside from the fact that this was not true, the fact that she took such a confrontational approach to the situation was off putting. We weren’t even looking to send it back or change anything so we were sort of baffled by the whole thing. Again the food was pretty good but not worth the attitude.

They have let me down each time I have been here. I often do not get what I ordered. Most recently they gave me tortilla soup with no spoon. When asked for a spoon they gave me a serving spoon that had food stuck to the back of it. We asked about dessert and they said the kitchen was closed, but didn't notify us ahead of time. The service is consistent poor with average food. I have given this place enough chances and they still disappoint. I am sad to give up on a local spot but do not plan to return again.

We haven’t been to Ole since Covid broke out! Unfortunately the place is extremely run down and the food is just okay now! Looks to this diner that they are more geared towards a takeout operation and that’s fine with me. The mens room was dirty and that just ruined the night! Too bad really had some excellent meals there.

The waitstaff seemed annoyed by our presence - no warm welcome. When we asked to sit out of the sun because my 73 friend needed that, we were met with an annoyed demeanor. The legumbres enchilada was just OK, no strong flavors - everything was passable but bland, including the table side guac. I had high hopes for Ole but get let down overall.
