We had a party of 10 to celebrate my sister's engagement. Food and drinks were generally below average. I ordered vegetarian chilies rellenos. My dish was stone cold. The "vegetarian" stuffing was unseasoned wilted spinach and cheese. A couple people in our group got the fajitas special based on the waitresses recommendation. It was exactly what you expect of fajitas at an average Mexican restaurant, but the up charge was shocking. The waitress recommended a few "special" items like table side guacamole, margaritas, and the fajitas that came with huge upcharges over similar items listed on the menu. I regret not asking, but also I really wish she had mentioned the $18 price difference between a pitcher of regular margaritas and a pitcher of coconut margaritas. The waitress was nice and attentive, but we didn't walk out of there feeling good about the experience. We would have been much happier if the pricing was more transparent. For the quality of food and advertised prices, we were really surprised by the bill at the end.

Good food and service. It's not quite as authentically Mexican as I'd like, having grown up in El Paso and being Mexican myself, but my options in New England are limited. Anyway, go if you've got a hankering for Mexican food and are in the area! Both their burrito bar and sit down menu are solid.

The restaurant was empty so the service was quick. The waiter was awesome by quickly sitting us down and taking drinks order. The food came out I would say with 10 - 20 mins after placing the order. Also you are served with chips. Me and my father had the lobster quesadilla which taste awesome and I fell in love with.

It's been a minute since we visited Ole... Sat at the bar and had house margaritas, tuna tacos, and steak and chicken fajitas... Each was uniquely flavorful... Perhaps the best fajitas I've ever had!

Stopped into this location when I was in town for work, showing a student Harvard. After I gave them choices about food types, she picked ole. We made our way over and were seated promptly, I loved the salsa, it was unique and flavorful. I had a mezcal margarita, and for my main course I had some very savory mushroom quesadillas! All around great experience, if I'm ever back in the area I would visit again!

We enjoy this place for reliable Mexican food and generally easy parking. It can be loud. They do a great job with groups. Food is very good and service swift. In the warmer weather it usually very nice to dine outside.

If there are any west coasters reading this who grew up eating at Chevy's, this place fills that Chevy's void in my heart. Their dine-in menu is full of Tex Mex classics like enchiladas, tacos, and when I visited, a sizzling plate of fajitas. I decided to go for their chiles rellenos ($19) with pork. I also tried their horchata ($3.5). I thought the food was tasty. The food was hot, the seasonings were balanced, and everything went well together. The rice was on the softer side and the pico de gallo/lettuce side was a little plain, but overall the food was very comforting. I would recommend getting the horchata, which wasn't too sweet and had a lot of cinnamon flavor. If not dining in, they also have a separate take-out counter with more of a Chipotle-style concept. It also seems like a lot of people come here for their alcoholic drinks.

This place is stealing tips from staff. If you tip, be sure to do so in cash and put the money directly into the hand of your bartender or server.

Ole is a great spot to go to when you want a good and fast burrito. Although they operate as a restaurant, they have a take-out menu as well where you can customize your own burrito, burrito bowl, or nachos, etc. Each burrito is packed with a good amount of flavor. They have a pretty good variety of meats, beans, toppings, and sauces. Their food is always solid, and I love how they give you free chips and salsa as well to accompany your food. I am always left craving more chips and salsa afterward. I also enjoy getting their churros. They are generously sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Whenever i am craving a consistent quality burrito, i always come back to Ole. I only come here for take-out, so I can not say too much of the menu they serve to those who dine in.

Been my go to place for excellent Mexican food for more than a decade . Everything from their Margaritas to their Chilli Relleno and creative desserts with hints of habanero ( on occasion) are among the best Mexican food I’ve had. What I especially like is that they refresh and reimagine their menu often with great creativity. With a city parking lot right door and a renewed and vibrant Inman square to hang out at pre and post dinner ..this place is simply put awesome!!Vegetarian options: Many vegetables options of classic Mexican dishes like burritos , chilli rellenos etcKid-friendliness: They even made a special kids mango juice in a margarita glass with salt :-), that’s great service.

The sandwiches here are the real deal. Burritos aren’t *quite* as good as Felipe’s in my opinion, but the tortas are the best in Cambridge.
