In a nutshell...this place is highly OVERRATED, and staggeringly overpriced. The Ole website makes it look initmate and upscale. It is neither. At $10 a pop, their margaritas are very stingy (less than 4oz of actual liquid), and nothing special. They have some lady who wheels a table-side guacamole cart like a trash bin. The guac is fine (once she... more

Hands down, the worst experience that I have had in a very long time, if not ever!!! A group of 5 of us went there for dinner on a Tuesday evening at 7:30.

Some of the dishes here are really good, just like the Pescado a la veracruzana. You cannot go wrong with guacamole made infront of you in a molcajete. more

The portions were reasonable, and the presentation is lovely. Almost every dish had... more

My husband and I have been eating at Ole for the past 7 years. We haven't been for the past 2 years and I'm writing this review because we just went there this past weekend, Jan 5th 2009, so I can attest to the changes. First the good- Ole has good food and this hasn't changed. The sangria is the... more

Overpriced and too shishi for a Mexican Restaurant. That said, the Sunday brunch is pretty good. more
