All food came out cold, and appetizers came out about 15 minutes after the main dishes did. Half of the table had food served, while the other half of the table didn’t get their food until a long waiting period. The nachos were cold and disgusting. It was a plate of chips with a minimal drizzle of canned cold cheese on top, and their pico de gallo, and no meat was served as listed on their menu. When we told them the cheese was cold, they went ahead and put the whole plate along with the pico de gallo to warm… bringing out a hot plate where the cheese was still not even room temperature, and now the pico de gallo was warm and soggy. Definitely don’t recommend. The tacos came out with really cold tortillas. We never got our drinks, other than the water they initially served. One of the kids accidentally spilled some water on the table, and the waitress said she would bring napkins for us, which never came and we were left cleaning up the table ourselves with whatever little napkins we had wrapped on our silverware. It was a horrible experience all together.

Recently visited Ole International Kitchen with a large group and they were quick to accommodate us. Speedy service, super friendly staff, and delicious food that was very reasonably priced for Estes Park. Several vegetarian / vegan options - the cauliflower tacos were absolutely amazing. Will definitely visit again!

Service was polite but very slow, despite the restaurant being nearly empty. The drinks and food were not well done—almost everyone at our table felt that their drinks were poorly made, didn’t have much of any alcohol in them, and were full of artificial syrups. I would not eat here again. All around weird vibes.

We loved this place! Great food! Good service! And the atmosphere was great. This isn’t some hole in the wall type of gem so don’t go there with that mindset. This place was elegant and definitely modern. My partner got the veggie tacos and I got the carnitas tacos! Both were delicious. The owners were very sweet and kind and made sure we were enjoying ourselves.

"I recently visited Ole Internacional Kitchen and had a fantastic dining experience! I ordered the steak salad, which was cooked to perfection and accompanied with a fresh, crunchy mix of greens, greens and spicy dressing. The portion size was very good and the flavors were perfect. I had a strawberry smoothie that was creamy and sweet, with just the right amount of fruity flavor. The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. Overall, I highly recommend Ole International Kitchen to enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal. 5 stars and definitely worth a repeat visit!

We live near Estes Park and frequent Olé's restaurant. Wonderful food, great service. My steak was cooked exactly as ordered. My wife's Salmon was excellent. The children's menu was perfect. Our kids had great time.

Bad bad bad. Tourist trap. We came in as a party of 7 thinking it was an older Mexican restaurant (it was there years ago, serving exclusively Mexican food) we went to years ago. We turned around when we realized that it wasn’t what we remembered, and began to walk back down the stairs. A staff member chased us down before we left to say that they do have ‘Mexican’ ‘food’, which should have been a red flag.No silverware, then received nachos that we didn’t request. Menu design is illegible, and I’m still fascinated to learn what, a “sides: baked potato, much potato, spargus” means. no typos on my end, that is actually what it says. Stinky canned plastic cheese smothered each chip in a juxtaposed concoction of diced peppers and tortilla chips, like carnival tent food meets low end Mexican food. I think that last part could sum up the overall experience. It’s not Mexican food, it’s also not as they say, ‘international food’, it’s more so a Mexican restaurant having a confused teenage rebellion crisis if the rebellion crisis was a vat of plastic Walmart cheese featuring special guest star appearance from pasta and philly cheese steak.When the waiter came with our drinks (all sodas) the sprite was just sparkling water. When my fiancée requested a coke instead, he brought out a sugar free coke and a sprite, made correctly this time but in a vase. They were out of chicken, (probably a blessing in disguise), so the 4 of us ready to order chicken dishes had to rethink, so the waiter left and wouldn’t return for a while only having taken half of our orders.We had to ask for silverware, and the music consisted of, very much like the menu, a rollercoaster ride of variety ranging from traditional Mexican to Taylor Swift.My parents both ordered their food before the rest of us, but didn’t receive their food until we were entirely done eating 20 minutes later.It was freezing cold in the restaurant, much like the tortillas the tacos were forced into, and though we requested the thermostat be turned up at the beginning of the meal, the waiter said he would get somebody to handle it and that never happened. Stayed in thick jackets the whole time.My mom and I got the same thing, her burrito had half the green chili sauce and had rice on the side whereas mine did not.My sister ordered a Philly cheesesteak sandwich, which featured the same miserable sad dry steak from the street tacos put between two dry, unseasoned crusty dry buns.Don’t go here. You’ll pay just as much at the Mexican place around the block and your family will be grateful.To staff reading this, management needs a major restructure or this place won’t last another year, too great of a location to waste.Highlight of the experience is the jokes we get to make about it all after the fact, had some good laughs. If you don’t laugh you’ll cry.

Had stayed in Estes Park for a week and this was hands down the worst dining experience we had. Everything was under seasoned, the salsa was very bland, chips stale, and meat tasted off. Should’ve eaten anywhere else.
