Superb and modern Mexican food, with super-sweet owners!
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

04/15/2007 Posted by boston6_8guy

We live just a block from Ole, and we eat there about once every two weeks. The owners are incredibly sweet, and the staff are always so friendly. The food is great! It's a very modern take on Mexican, that uses many interesting ingredients, to produce great entrees that are very delicious. I love the Quesadilla con Camarones, and the simple black beans and rice. The plantains were occassionally "off" but the waitress was kind enough to tell us that it's because of the seasonal fruit, and not because fo the kitchen. And, as everyone else noted, the guac is amazing. And, the frozen strawberry and raspberry margaritas are stunning. So smooth going down, and they'll take any edge off that you're feeling. :) You should totally go. It's not cheap, it's not Tex Mex, but it's got great food with nice service, and a cozy festive atmosphere. We like it so much we'll be hosting our rehearsal dinner there in late 2007. So, if I'm willing to throw that much money down, you know it ain't sketchy!

Pros: Frozen margaritas are the best, and the owners and staff are so sweet

Cons: A little pricey, but worth the cash

Insider Tips

Parking

Try your luck with the small metered lot next door. Because there's no train stop within walking distance of Inman Square, most diners are forced to drive.
