This is a great place for really good Mexican food! The service was excellent it is a very clean place. The margarita’s were amazing, the elote corn we had as an appetizer was really good and main dish even better. This is a place we will go to again when we are back in the area.

Disappointed. The chips were the highlight of the lunch. Chile relleno wasn’t bad, the rest was over salted, and lacked flavor.

The best Mexican food we have ever had. You can tell a lot by the chips and salsa, which were phenomenal, and everything kept getting better. I had the surf and turf special, my wife a combination, the kids got tacos and tostadas. Every aspect was legendary. I felt they under-charged, so I over-tipped. They deserve to succeed and open 20 more stores.

Even the salsa rocked! So much flavor! I can’t remember the Spanish name for the side, but as a side, get the zucchini, cheese, etc. Dish. Everything was great and the service was too! Photo is the side. Already devoured the main dish.

La Olla is a small restaurant with booths and tables. They have a bar shoot you want to sit there. Service was quick and and we received our food just as fast. The menu was good and all the dishes I have tried have been very good. The portions are typical of Mexican restaurants and you either leave stuffed or with a to go box. The atmosphere was pleasant and inviting. It was a great experience.

This little place is absolutely amazing. The service was excellent. Trista was so sweet and an amazing waitress. She made sure we were well taken care of. It was a tad slow to get the food, but DEFINITELY worth it. I had the pork and shrimp and it was to die for. It was one of the best meals I think I have ever had. I couldn’t recommend this place more. You have to go check it out!

The server was spectacular! It has been a while since some place new wowed me. The food was yummy. Just wish they offered a mild salsa. Sometimes, my pallet doesn’t tolerate medium. The food was good and the 4 star rating is pretty accurate.

I stopped in to have lunch and has the taco salad. The taco salad was amazing! It was also quiet and I was able to read and do some work while I waited for my food though the wait wasn’t that long. The waitress was very communicative about checking-in and gave me updates on my food.
