We happened upon this gem when I searched for fish tacos on the Yelp app and what a winner. We walked in and was completely surprised that every table was taken. Even the bar seats were full. This place was bustling with orders of delicious smelling food passing by. We were seated in the back and ordered our tacos. We decided then, we will be back to enjoy more of the menu but for tonight the tacos were delicious and left me wanting more. read more

Every time I come to Ola service is always great. Came here on a Saturday night with my man. Ola Latin kitchen serves a fusion of Latin American dishes. We ordered several flavorful drinks. For appetizers we ordered Brussels sprouts with chorizo, steak skewers with yuca, mixed ceviche with tortilla chips, and street corn. For entree I got the churrasco with chaufa rice and a side of sweet plantains; he got the guava glazed ribs with a corn mix and yuca fries. For desert we had guava cheesecake and churros. Everything came out from both from the kitchen and bar very promptly. Everything tasted great as always cooked to perfection. The ambiance is very vibrant and tropical. This is one of the very few restaurants I like to revisit as it is very well rounded. read more

My family and I stopped in because our air bnb happened to be around the corner, and boy, did we get lucky! The atmosphere outside and inside were so cute and well-decorated. Our server was very kind and kept checking in to make sure we enjoyed our food and drinks. Let me tell you, the food and drinks were out of this world! My parents enjoyed their $8 mojitos which is part of the Wednesday specials and I enjoyed a house made espresso martini with fresh made espresso! I always hunt for the best espresso martinis and this is one of the best I've ever had! All of our food was delicious including the huaraches, the beet salad, the quinoa tacos, and the short ribs. My dad is a very picky eater since he is a chef himself and even he enjoyed every bite of every plate! I definitely recommend this place for everyone!! read more

This restaurant was nice idea. I came here with my girlfriend and tried several different things. I had the ribs and yuca fries and she had the churrasco with rice and plantains chips with a side of rice. I also got the Mexican street corn and some beef pinches. The ribs were fall off the bone and delicious. I tried her steak and it was also very good. The yuca fries were crispy and hot and the Mexican corn is always a pleasure to have! Had a few mixed drinks, I enjoyed all of them. We finished the night with some desert. Cheese cake and churros with ice cream. Very satisfying. The restaurant looks nice and the service was on point and tentative. I would like to come back here soon. I recommend you try Ola latin kitchen. read more

So good and staff are amazing. Thank for helping make my dad 90th birthday dinner special!

Rene the owner is extremely flexible. We needed to do a lunch for a small gathering and Rene agreed to open the restaurant for a small fee. It was a lovely Indian summer day in early October and we sat in the Pergola space which was lovely. All the food starting with the appetizers and ending with dessert was flavorful and excellent. The service was awesome with very attentive and courteous ladies. Would highly recommend Ola Latin Kitchen if you are in the Bridgeport CT area. Thank you Rene and Ola staff. Doreen L. read more

Loved this meal so much! Our waitress was so sweet as she brought over plates of delicious tapas! We loved everything from fish tacos to fried artichokes. Much to my delight my favorite two drinks were melded into one.. blood orange and lemon. delicious martini! It was a little loud but everyone was in a festive mood read more

I so want to give this place 5 stars as service, ambiance, food presentation, taste, texture price, etc exceeded all expectations, however, I will visit again to ensure a consistent dining and culinary experience. Colorful, clean and most inviting space. I loved the colored glass and plates on the tables. The margaritas were fantastic and the in house wine was so good. Thursday nights all house drinks are the same price as Happy Hour prices. Excellent! Service was outstanding. Our waiter was kind and patient with our menu questions. We never felt pressured or rushed and we were fully able to take our time enjoying our wonderful dishes. before our dishes arrived, we were given a delicious roll with dipping sauce which was magnificent. Ordered: Ostras con Motongo---an incredible dish so beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Arepas De Cardo-gorgeous presentation and wonderful fusion of flavors and textures Salmon con Panela--excellent execution of freshness and flavor combinations Tacos were amazing! We oohed and ahhed and sighed with delight with each bite. Ecstasy. Such a low key, lovely evening with superbly cooked dishes we took time to savour. Generous portions, fair prices, clean restrooms, adjacent parking area and off street parking available. I highly recommend this establishment and most surely will return often! read more

Haven't been here in a long time and disappointed they took skirt steak off the menu. Also, we all thought guacamole was disappointing.. salty and no flavor. Otherwise food / drinks were very Good. read more

Food was DELICIOUS! Service was great and everything was reasonably priced. Will be back.

Great food, very weak served and ambience are fantastic...good music. Evening was so perfect, thanks for all read more

This place is happening. It's apparently the place to go to for celebrations. There were 3 birthday parties there. It is loud. Brightly decorated. The food comes out nicely presented. The drinks look good. It tasted fine... my hubby thought it was all great. The pulled pork quesadilla was made with bbq pulled pork, which is an interesting twist. It came with guacamole, which was delicious. The octopus was perfectly cooked, mildly seasoned. The lamb chops were also perfectly cooked and came with a nice sauce. The pernil (usually slow roasted pork shoulder) was more of a pork shank and deep fried. It came with coconut rice and beans, which were delightful. read more

Stopped in to get a bite to eat. The restaurant has an outdoor dining area, bar area and indoor dining area. The bar area seemed to be very busy when I stopped in, not sure if it was happy hour or what. For my dinner I had the steak with asparagus. The steak was cooked perfectly and the veggies were good. The menu has a Latin fusion to it and they have many other options I would like to try. read more

Ordered for the first time (takeout) and really enjoyed it! Nachos were sufficiently topped/very flavorful and quesadillas were crisped just right. Prices also felt extremely reasonable.

Met friends here to celebrate a birthday based on some good yelp reviews. I can't say that I agree with the 4 star rating. LOCATION - restaurant is on a busy street but they have a small parking lot with a sign for Ola customers however you may need to find street parking. AMBIANCE- it has a very nice decor but for me it communicated a Cuban feel with the palm tree decorations. In terms of seating tables are somewhat limited around 40-50 but there is quite a long bar. I would suspect a good happy hour crowd. SERVICE- is definitely 4 star. Very attentive bus service. Very nice waiter but as crowds built he was pressed with service for a number of tables MENU - was more of a Nuevo latin selection. So a bit of a higher end dining experience. Could also be bigger as the specials were limited to one entree choice and one appetizer. APPETIZER- I had octopus which was very good. Friend had calamari which was very over cooked and rubbery. The kale salad was very good. The seafood savichee (bad spelling) was miss represented a bit. Actually more like a shrimp cocktail in sauce. ENTREES - short rib dish disappointing came out over cooked and Luke warm. The sea bass was good. The chicken dish was tasty with black beans. DESSERTS - I passed but the tres Lechee cake was a hit. The chocolate mole cake was also very good. PRICE - no way this is $$ in fact I'd say for Latin cuisine it is $$$$. The bill for 4 people and no drinks was over $200 not including tip. Pricy I would say. read more

Last night on Saturday, April 20th, me and my girl squad met for dinner (a bday celebration really) at Ola Latin Kitchen in Bridgeport, CT. My gf Gee suggested it as she lives in Bridgeport and had actually eaten there several years ago when they first opened. Ola Latin Kitchen is in a nice neighborhood in Bridgeport with beautiful old Colonial homes and tree lined streets. The weather that night was icky and rainy but once we stepped inside we were whisked away into a Latin paradise. Our waitress Judy was sweet and accommodating. The entrees we ordered almost too pretty to eat and the atmosphere made for unique photo ops. All of us agreed that we will certainly return as the food was delish and the service, impeccable. read more

Came here last night for the first time- did not disappoint! We started with the special Tuna Tartar which was soooooo good. I got the Salmon for an entree and my friend got the Bacalao cod fish and we ate every last bite. We also loved the roll and sundried tomato dipping sauce they give for a table snack when you first sit down. And the margaritas were delish- pomegranate and SPICY jalapeño. Service was also wonderful- all the wait staff very nice and professional. Can't wait to go back when the weather is nice and sit outside! read more

My Drink was on fire!! The food was so amazing!! I am so happy we went here!! Great date night!! WILL be back !! Thank you!

This review is only based on drinks at the bar and the atmosphere. Stopped in here last night looking for a final cocktail before ending the evening. We grabbed two open seats at the bar after 9 pm and reviewed the menu. I went with the Mango Martini - excellent and he stuck to his standard Stoli and soda. Even though we weren't eating, the bartender brought out some delicious chips for us to snack on - yum. I loved the decor and the music playing while we were there, and we both want to come back for dinner soon. read more

Went there tonight with my sister our server "Ray" was fabulous. Food amazing!! Mentioned that it was a belated bday dinner, and he had the staff come outback and sing HB. They even gave my sister, her favorite dessert.. ice cream! Guacamole n chips spot on.. Salmon dish with quinoa to die for. We each ordered desserts to bring home. Thank you for a great meal and superb hospitality! Son ideal! Muchas Gracias!! read more

Ola is fresh, fun, with attentive service and a well prepared, creative cuisine. We were there to celebrate Quatro de Mayo, an important day set aside to revel in Friday and payday. Ola was into it - the bar was filled with very happy patrons loudly celebrating freedom from their overlords. Ola has an extensive cocktail menu featuring martinis, mojitos and margaritas. My classic mojito had a sugar cane stick with mucho chopped mint, and don't mind me if ramble because I had two. My patacones, plantain toasts filled with pulled pork and arugula, were well prepared. I ordered the baby octopus/potato tapas with trepidation because these Cephalopoda are intelligent sentient beings. Those served were not thumb sized newborns as advertised, but larger slices of a more teenagery-adult. The dish was well seasoned with pieces of roasted red pepper and served with a separate dipping sauce. Remind me to watch fewer nature documentaries. We were the only diners as it was 5 o'clock-ish. Listening to the bar talk reminded us of the importance of celebrating life with vigor. Just wish they had better acoustics for us diners. read more

What a fantastic dinner! We went for a birthday celebration with friends and enjoyed every single dish. The salmon was absolutely delicious, the sauce under the salmon was incredible as was the quinoa. My husband had the pork shank and it literally was falling off the bone. Our friends had the chicken that was amazing. Tapas dishes were great and the Perfect Margherita was certainly perfect. What a lively and colorful ambience and the service was friendly and so efficient. We will certainly be back again soon. We loved Ola Latin Kitchen! read more
