The food was good, my husband had the mollejas he said they were good, it seemed like a little bit for the price though. He did like the tortillas de harina. I had the mexican plate enchiladas, which were decent, chalupa was decent, and the taco just needed some lemon. Rice and beans were good. Food

The food is fresh and seasoned nicely. The coffee tastes good and your cup is always refilled. I came back a second time, and had a better experience than before. I enjoyed my time here and the staff are helpful and polite. Parking: The parking was scarce, but that is always a good sign of the food quality. Kid-friendliness: My son felt comfortable and welcomed.

First time here. I love places that just give an old school diner vibe, and this is definitely one of those. Breakfast was delicious, the menudo was tender and spiced just right. Homemade corn and flour tortillas. Definitely going back. They have an extensive lunch/dinner menu as well.

Love a good Mexican breakfast, especially on the weekend. La Olla hit the spot. They have a cozy and clean atmosphere. Service was very good. The coffee cup was constantly refilled without having to ask. They have several reasonablly priced plate specials. My migas rancheros with egg was delicious. Their flour tortillas tasted home made. Gotta love that. So happy I gave them a try.

This has to be the best Mexican food we have had in a long, long time. You all are amazing. It may be an old building, but dont judge it for that. Go in and have you some amazing food. The chips and salsa were fantastic. I will definitely come back to eat here again. The service was great as well. As soon as I walked in, the atmosphere was wonderful. Thank you for being fabulous.

The tacos arrived sitting in puddles of grease. The tortillas were supposed to be crispy, but they were incredibly stale. It was very gross. And, although the plate was too hot to touch, the enchiladas were still cold. Like they just came out of the refrigerator. The rice didnt taste bad, because the rice didnt taste like anything... Absolutely ZERO flavor. How this plate of food was nearly $16 is a mystery to me. Also a mystery is how anyone could even consider this edible. Either way, Id rather starve than come back here. Trashy and disgusting. Skip this place.

I went here some days ago and food was good don t get me wrong but the waitress asked if I wanted coffee and I said yes. She brought me the coffee and I hadn t realized she did not leave a spoon for me to mix my coffee. She never came back and I waited because she was taking care of other customers and she never went by to ask if everything was fine. I had to get up to tell the lady at the cash register if I could please have a spoon and that s how the waitress came back if not I would still had been waiting. She seemed like if she wasn t happy working there. Other than that food was good.

Employee was frantically sweeping lots of debris all around at our table. Charged for water, its not like we were in Europe. I had my Yeti cup with ice already. Unbelievable! Not friendly.

They got a 3.99 special, 2 eggs, papas or beans, and bacon or sausage. Cmon, 3.99? You cant beat it. And its very good. The limonada is the perfect cure for that unfortunate hangover. Ive been here for lunch also and the carne guisada is tremendous! The carne guisada is like your moms, Im telling you - this place is good.

Wife and I Went there this morning for some breakfast. The waitress took our order and brought our coffee right away but just left us there sitting with out bringing our order . She knew I was unhappy as she was bringing plates to people that had arrived after us . I ve gone here before and had good service but today was unreal . We waited 45 minutes for a simple 2 plates . After 45 minutes I left $5.00 to cover the 2 coffees my wife and I drank and left . We will never go there again .
