The place has a very good vibe and appears to be very popular. Excellent salsa and guacamole.

They were busy at 6pm, small restaurant, short wait for 4. Was not really greeted, more of a what do you want attitude by all. Took awhile too get chips/salsa because they were making them fresh, so that's ok. Drinks took along time and to checknif we not another round, had to flag down the server.The chips were fresh and hot, delicious! The salsa and guacamole, chicken taquito & rice were really good. The Chile Rojo plate was ok...had flavor but a little dry. The Carne Seca ($24) was way too salty! Carne asada burrito ($19) was ok. The Combo plate ($17) Chile Relleno w/cheese enchilada was good but not great. The Margaritas, hibiscus, jalapeno & cadillac were delicious but way overpriced for the size. $200 + for 4 people for just mediocre food is not worth it!

I don’t know why I’ve been avoiding eating at this restaurant for so long! Maybe I just didn’t believe I could find authentic Mexican food in Marana? I was so wrong? The food is delicious and the staff is so kind! In particular, the cheese enchiladas and the chicken tortilla soup are my favs. Salsa is fresh, chips are hot and crispy. They have drinks if you’re into that. If you haven’t been here TRY IT!

Before hopping on the road to head home, we stopped at La Olla for lunch. My hubby said he needed one more fix to last until our next visit to Tucson. Again, delicious food and great service! Adding a pic of my tamale *chef kiss* My daughter had the chimichanga and said it tasted great!

Huge portions at a fair price. Friendly and efficient service. Small dining room is a bit crowded and noisy so don't expect an intimate dining experience.

La Olla is the best Mexican restaurant in the area! The chips and salsa are a delicious way to start the meal, the salsa is chunky, unlike most places. Tonight I got a bean and cheese burrito, but there isn't a bad thing on the menu. The beans are homemade and go great with the salsa. The fish tacos and fried chicken tacos are some of my other go-to's. The calabacitas beat out any other restaurant. Always great service. Free flan on your birthday!

Seriously best fish tacos and food in Tucson. Absolutely love this place. The waitress knows exactly what we want and she treats us so nice. I almost always have to stop when I am in the neighborhood.

Great food!

Ordered a taco and received what appeared to be a hamburger patty in it, which was not good. Cheese enchilada was good. Drinks are very small and overpriced. Very busy place and on the smaller side.
