Reviews for OLA Restobar Downey in Downey, CA
The michelada flight is worth it and only $11.99 I thought this price was good for 3 different flavors! Their skillet... chilaquiles were also spicy crisp and tasty just the way they should be! Definitely going back!! Read more
I am basing this review on breakfast only. There was no wait time, got seated at a table right away. A loud establishment with... dark lighting inside. They do not have their lunch menu opened during breakfast hours. Food came out quick. For the combo platethat I ordered it was $15. The combo plate came with a small crepe, a side of fruit, and one small Benedict. Looking at theplate , my first thought was oh no I?ve paid less for more at other place. The crepe was smothered in a heavy serving ofNutella, which was the flavor that stood out the most. As for the Skillet with chilaquiles, it was all soggy by the time it cameout to the table, so perhaps it was cooked too fast. Overall, I left with the impression that breakfast is not their forte here.I doubt I would want to come back for breakfast here. Read more
Food is good and drinks are strong. Try to make reservations if you have a group. It's always busy
Went on a Saturday night around 7pm, was seated pretty quick for a party of 4. This place is mainly for drinks only. I ordered 3... of EL Pepe's and i hardly felt any buzz. The food was cheap, not price wise but quality. Wifey ordered Tacos Al pastor and themeat tasted and felt like any little kids party taqueria meat, the same meat i can buy at foodless or something. I don't thinkthey prepare/marinate the food/meats themselves. I also ordered the seafood taco tour which consisted of 4 tacos(2 fish, 2shrimp) first set was shrimp taco, and fish taco with sauteed onions and tomatoes and they were alright. The shrimp felt it wasover cooked and so had a mushy texture. The other two were regular tacos with only diced onions and tarter sauce. The only goodthing about that was the sauce. The fish looked and tasted like frozen fish packages from Costco too. The chicken nachos justlooked like a nuclear disaster. The place was way too loud that we literally had to be in each other's faces to talk. And at theend of the day, i got home and and through up all the tacos, i felt very sick and nauseous leaving the place. Will not comeback. Read more
It was my first time here with friends, we came for a birthday brunch. Food is very delicious, service is great.. music little... loud but I really enjoyed this place. Read more
Came here after sitting across the street having a drink and seeing this place seemed to be popular. There was no wait on a... Friday evening at around 7pm which was nice. We had some margaritas which were pretty good and big although not really strong.We had a taco platter and mixed appetizer platter. Both were satisfying and good. Food came out pretty fast and we kept beingasked if we were doing ok by the servers. They had plenty of people working and assisting. Ambiance is fun, music is good. Iwill definitely return!

This place is mainly for drinks, not recommended for food. The service was alright, we ordered an appetizer and our own dishes.... They served my dish a solid 10 minutes before the appetizer or any of the other dishes came. I got the egg Benedict?s combinewith crepe. The crepe was such a disappointment because it didn?t come with the blue berries or strawberries as advertise. Itwas so flat. The fruit bowl was just melon and grapes which is literally the cheapest fruits any restaurant can serve. The eggBenedict was cooked all wrong, the yolk was cooked but the white was runny?? I sent it back and they gave me a corrected eggBenedict. My first friend got the skillet chillaques, which for the most part were good. It was just the potatoes were sooverdone they tasted like they were old. The side dish of beans also tasted like canned beans. My second friend got the greenchilaquiles with chicken. They only served her the Chilaquiles with no chicken. The server then gave her a side serving ofchicken that was super fatty and oily. Another factor that was upsetting was the staggered delivery of the dishes. The dishescame not in the right eating order (appetizers first) and then we didn?t get all of our dishes together. The Mexican flightliterally tasted like there was no alcohols the mimosas flight were good. Read more
This restaurant is located in Downtown Downey. What attracted me here was the lively music walking by the restaurant. Every... night starting at 7pm they have a DJ set up at the front and the music is loud. They have several big screen TVs so a nice placeto watch the games too. The decor is amazing. The bar is the highlight. It's lit up from head to toe and gives off a funfriendly vibe. Has sort of an industrial feel to it too. There alis plenty of seating and also large patio in the back foroutdoor dining. The menu choices are spectacular and drink menu very vivid. Food and drinks were delicious. The staff is reallynice too. I felt very welcomed here. Definitely going to be a fave go-to spot. Read more
