Went here for the 2nd time with my boyfriend, we went straight to the bar because we just wanted a couple drinks before we hit the beach. Tim was are bartender, he greeted us with smiles and the best service I've had in a long time. He's very much a people person (not in a pushy way) He said he has been working here since opening, that takes a toll.. might make one "over it" but Tim.. Tim is not! He enjoys what he does and it shows in his customer service and personality! I'll definitely keep coming back in hopes I get him again as a bartender. Before I stop let me just say everyone today was super friendly as well. If you ever have a bad experience I'm gunna assume they hired someone new. Lol anyways yea thanks for the great experience tim!

I got the ribeye enchiladas and my husband got the tacos, two carnitas and one Lobster. It was $7 additional for the lobster upgrade. I'll say that it was an adequate amount of lobster for the price. So no complaint there. But the lobster wasn't seasoned well, nether was his carnitas. A few strips of my ribeye had a very horrible burnt taste like the fire was too high in one area, though I ordered medium. Also the enchiladas have lots of cheese, which I love but it might've been wayyyy too much and could've used some pico de gallo or a fresh aspect to it.

The food is excellent, like modern Mexican. Make a reservation so that you don't wait around.

Ola Catering is the BOMB! We recently used Ola Mexican Kitchen catering for a work event. The set up looked great, the food was delicious, and the service was awesome. Our guests were all thrilled with the outcome vs using just a "taco guy". Give them a shot for your next event .... You will be pleased with your decision!

W ordered a take out for ribeye fajitas and fish tacos. The fixated were absolutely delicious - the meat cut was beautifully cooked. The rice and beans came a la carte but highly recommend including to your order. The fish tacos were disappointing- barely any fish or anything really in there. The slice of Brie really threw me off but I enjoy trying new foods - it was ok nothing spectacular. Service was great - from the order to the pick up.

Ola's food is always fabulous. Just happened to get a waiter this time who is not the brightest bulb in the house. He came back to take our order 10 minutes after we had already given it to him.

A great place to stop by in HB without being in the center of all the commotion in downtown. The watermelon Marg was great and not pictured was a smoky blood orange Mezcal cocktail that was amazing too if you like Mezcal. The fish taco I thought tasted great and love that the tortillas seem handmade there. Chips and salsa okay, I don't love what seemed like tajin type seasoning tossed on the tortilla chips, I just prefer a good simple salted chip and salsa. The view is GREAT, if you want a nice ocean view spot this is it. Service was great never felt rushed but never had to search for our waiter either he was always around if we needed him.

Restaurant has a great view. The Chef Amado's Guacamole had an overpowering citrus flavor. However, the burrito I got was great and the server we had was so sweet!

This place was so amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was amazing. The service was great and the view was gorgeous
I wish I could give it 5 stars but the service brought it down. Our waiter, Jared R was MIA most of the night, never even got a refill on our drinks! The chips, salsa and guacamole were really good. Queso fundido and chicken tinga tacos were really flavorful. The rest of my family enjoyed their food too. The restaurant has a low light feel and we got to see the sunset out of the large windows. The restaurant was clean as well.

Went here for dinner with my best friend and we had the most delicious meal. We had the pleasure of having Tommy as our waiter and he was so kind and thoughtful throughout our whole meal! (We were there for a while just catching up.) He was very attentive and friendly and honestly made our dinner just that much better! The food was great, the ambiance was amazing especially at sunset. Will definitely be coming here again!

I ate there last week. The restaurant is nice and the view lovely. I ordered the Chile Rellanos and they were gross. Burned outside, undercooked in. The waiter was slow and inattentive. Not worth a price tag. When i spoke to the Manager Kyle he laughed at my complaint. Yeah, I won't be back. BTW: Best Chilie Rellanos are Enrique's in Long Beach. Take a drive and eat real food.
