Ola Mexican Kitchen is a modern Mexican restaurant blending traditional flavors with a creative twist. Their handmade tacos, burritos, and guac are top-notch—and everyone says the margaritas are a must. (Thanks to the time difference, I missed out on the drinks… rookie mistake! )

Camer here on the 4th of July and was amazed we got seated immediately! Kind of rare! We had the chefs guacamole, carne asada, Baja fish, lobster, and pork belly tacos! I’m pretty basic sometimes so my favorites were the asada and fish while my lady really like the other 3 more. The gauc was very good as well. I’ll definitely be back! And don’t forget about the view! We were able to watch the sunset as we dined and see people starting their fireworks outside from our table. Great food and experience! Parking on the 4th is a different story though (mostly trying to leave) so plan accordingly for that. I’m sure normal, non holidays it’s easy to get in and out though

I’ve been here several times with friends and family and the food has always been pretty good. The beer battered fish tacos are a favorite of mine. The complimentary chips and salsa are very good here as well. My friend got the $42 seafood soup and it was tasty, but it definitely was not worth the price in my opinion. The tacos are 3 for $22 but they really pack it with meat, so I think they are the most worth it item on the menu along with the burritos. The view of the ocean is really nice and the service is usually pretty good. We will keep coming back here, but will probably only order the tacos every time!

Come for the view and drinks,stay cautious with the food and service. Beautiful oceanfront location and tasty drinks, but service was slow and the food quality didn’t match the price. We went for a birthday on a Friday night and ended up waiting a long time for undercooked enchiladas. It was also very loud, with a big group next to us, and we felt overlooked as customers. If you go, enjoy the drinks and view, but order selectively.

The atmosphere was great with perfect views of the Pacific! Wait staff were fantastic and extremely friendly! The chips and salsa were outstanding!! I love the seasoning they put on their chips. My grilled chicken tacos were ok, nothing fantastic. The tortillas were rather soggy and the Margaritas were extremely strong. Overall 4 out of 5 stars.
