We went with a party of 6 on a Friday night around 8pm. The hostesses were very friendly and helpful and our server was very attentive and considerate. We tried the: Elote man corn Queso fundido Guacamole Carnitas taco Baja fish tacos Grilled fish taco Blackened shrimp taco Carne asada taco Everything was really delicious. I loved trying all the different tacos. Great ambiance- the view is incredible! read more

Ribeye steak is over priced and low quality. Really makes you value Costco. Had to buy it separate. Would have loved to know how thin it was. Ordered medium rare and it came off medium. Service was great. Ola needs a different vendor they are getting robed. read more

Camev here to eat while the big waves were crushing the shore. This place may quickly become one of my favorites. My wife has been here s free times with her friends but we can't together with my adult son and we all enjoyedv the food, the drinks and the view. I almost would rather sit in the bar area because of the open feeling with the wind blowing in and the cool feeling of the sea breeze as well. We all enjoyed different dishes and they were tasty. Plus we enjoyed the churros for dessert, which I highly recommend. Actually from all that we enjoyed, so far you can't go wrong. Totally recommend this place to hang out with friends, family or even a date. It is just a great spot with good food and service. I know it won't get you acting but tell them Frankie sent you... I enjoy supporting local places that do things with a smile and they do it right. Go for it! read more

This spot might cost you an arm and a leg.. but I may consider it worth it. It's been a few years since my last visit to Ola, but the food and service here remains top tier. I visited late night with some girlfriends after catching a nearby DJ set at the Bungalow. We were ravenous and incredibly grateful to be sat instantly by the Ola team. Their servers were on top of it with drinks, apps, our meal, and even dessert. We ordered a round of guac and chips for the table, as well as their caramel filled churros to finish off the meal. For food I grabbed their taco trio, choosing the chicken, veggie, and chile relleno. The chile relleno still remains my favorite of the three! Would easily return the next time I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Easy to make reservations ahead of time or walk in for smaller parties. My friends and I were seated right away and our server was kind and welcoming. Honestly we had the best service! We started out with margs and chips/salsa and guac. The guac was good and so was the salsa but the chips were the best part. Warm too! I had the Punta Negra marg and it was delicious. Perfect balance of sweet and spicy between the blackberries and jalapeños. I had two tacos, the chicken and carnitas. Both were good! The meat on both were pretty dry but the flavor was there. The tacos were fresh too with all their different toppings. Definitely made up a little bit for the dry meats. My husband had the fish burrito. He really enjoyed it. It was quite large so it's great to split with someone or take the other portion home with you. read more

I'm pretty upset about my first experience at Ola last night. The service and food were so good that I never got a chance to enjoy the ocean view. What an absolute waste of a perfectly good window seat. Seriously though. The moment I walked in, I met Maddie, who is hopefully my future daughter-in-law. No really. She's the kind of person you meet and immediately start wondering if your son is handsome, intelligent, and charming enough to have even a remote chance (Maddie, if you're reading this, he's tall, strong, handsome, and looks absolutely nothing like me). Heck, I'll even spring for the window seat i had! Maddie and Annabelle were wonderfully charming hosts who kept me entertained while I waited for the rest of my party to arrive. Then there was Dustin, our server. And Dustin, if you're reading this, I should mention that I also have a very lovely daughter. The man was so good at his job that my friend accidentally ordered the same drink twice because Dustin appeared before he realized he'd already placed the order. I haven't seen efficiency like that since Amazon figured out same-day delivery. I almost felt obligated to serve him instead. The place is so large and airy, I actually thought I was in Boca Raton- I'm just not used to being that comfortable at a restaurant in SoCal anymore. Maybe it was the phenomenal chips and salsa. Maybe it was the Red Bull. Maybe it was me mentally planning my son's future wedding. Whatever the reason, I was completely chillaxed. For starters, our table ordered the guacamole, shrimp ceviche, and the elote-style corn that Maddie and Annabelle enthusiastically recommended. I THINK it was excellent.... To be completely honest, I was so hungry that I mixed everything together into some kind of delicious Mexican food supergroup, so I can't fairly critique each dish individually. It was less "fine dining" and more "culinary mosh pit" in my mouth. BUT...... that entree.... the enchiladas con ribeye... that was Bieber and Billie Eilish at this year's Coachella. Every bite, I felt like "One Less Lonely Girl"..... and I'm a girldad. I eat ribeye steak at least once every week. None of them taste like this. You already know I'm coming back for this. SOON. Finally, one last shout out to GM Tommie (or was it Tommy.... sorry my spelling sucks... ask Maddie for the proper spelling), who kept checking in on us. I really, really enjoyed being here. read more

Nestled on top of Pacific City at Huntington Beach , Ola Mexican Kitchen is a solid Mexican Restaurant with great outdoor views, electric vibe and good Mexican food ! We got seated at the outdoor patio with great views. Our Server was awesome and made some good recommendations. They started us with complimentary chips and salsa which was very good ! Some of the best I've ever had. We then had Trio Tacos which were good, Guacamole was excellent too and Shrimp Ceviche also hit the spot. Wife loved Beet and Watermelon Salad. We also tried their Habanero Salsa which had a solid kick ! Overall - great experience at Ola ! read more

We were looking for light lunch with a relaxing ambiance and this place was perfect. The hostesses were nice and sat us by the windows. The views were amazing because its on the second floor. We were served their delicate chips and salsa to start. We ordered their trio tacos and our favorites were carnitas, and Baja fish. The salmon taco was dry and over cooked. Its great the foundation drink keeps flowing. read more

Great time here, really recommend this place if you are in town and want some good Mexican on the water. Stopped in on a Monday night and was easily able to get a table against the glass. It was a little chilly out, but they had heaters going, so it was comfortable to sit outside. Our waiter Curtis was extremely efficient, gave great suggestions, and took good care of us. I even saw that he was making our drinks himself which were quite good! Food itself was delicious, had the salmon tacos. The chips and salsa were also delicious and complementary. I had the jefe margarita, which was also very refreshing. I also thought it was very reasonably priced. Great time here, would easily come back next time I'm in town! read more

We had a party of six and sat outside, overlooking the ocean. The weather was amazing and the view was beautiful! The waiter was attentive. The beet & watermelon salad was the star of the meal! The guacamole with orange zest & pomegranate seeds as well as the salsa were both excellent! The Huntington Beach location is located in an outdoor mall and we will definitely be visiting again. Parking garage is expensive but restaurant will validate up to two hours so bring your receipt/ticket. They definitely need more plant based/vegan options. read more

I like the decor and vibe. The staff here though seem not to be too concerned with your comfort inside the restaurant, stuffing a party of 8 into a booth is just not it. When asked to be seated elsewhere I was told no. The food isn't good enough for me to come back and the service is not too accommodating to reasonable requests. Won't be back. read more

Pleasantly surprised to have enjoyed a restaurant with a view in a high tourist area! My expectations were aiming for average due to location, however, don't underestimate this spot! We made a reservation and were seated promptly. Had a kind waiter & enjoyed the view of Huntington Beach. The tuna poki was fresh & delicious. I wish we were offered chop sticks for this as it felt strange to eat with regular silverware. Otherwise, the grilled fish & Baja tacos were delish! So fresh & I loved the flavors of each. My spouse enjoyed his pork carnitas, cilantro lime rice & beans. We certain would return when back in the area! Nice spot! read more

Ola Restaurant truly serves some of the best Mexican food. The chips accompanied by the salsa were exceptional, featuring a delicious seasoning that stood out. The shrimp ceviche was perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. The home made corn tortillas used for the tacos were among the best I've ever had. They held up well, even when they got a bit soggy, which is a testament to their quality. Service was excellent throughout our visit. We loved the experience so much that we returned two days in a row. Highly recommend Ola for anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine! read more

The restaurant itself is beautiful along with the view. You can't beat it. The servers were attentive and helpful. They bring you complementary chips and salsa. The guac add-on is delicious though. For the tacos, you can mix and match and they're a good size with a lot of meat! Their drinks are also great a definite must go, especially in the summertime. read more

Today I visited a new Mexican restaurant called Ola Mexican Kitchen in Long Beach California on 2nd & PCH across from the marina. It's was such a beautiful sunny day 80 degrees outside perfect The restaurant aromas were smelling wonderful as we walked upstairs to the entrance. The restaurant is beautiful inside and outside with views of the ocean and lovely boats in the marina. We got seat with views great views of the water and people enjoying themselves. Our waitress Daniella was friendly and delightful with a smile. Daniella had great suggestions for the food and drinks. We shared some yummy Elote Man Corn - Sautéed corn off the cob topped with cotija cheese and lime aioli delicious I had an IPA and my friend enjoyed a Margarita called El Dragón - It had Watermelon, Jalapeño Hornitos blanco tequila - watermelon purée - sweet 'n sour - fresh jalapeño so refreshing. We shared a plate of Refried Black Beans with Spanish Rice yummy. I enjoy Posole Traditional homemade carnitas soup, with all the fixings so delicious! Jeri enjoyed Enchiladas Con Queso with Fresh tortilla, three cheese blend, homemade guajillo pepper sauce, and queso fresco it was so good. The fresh made Chips and Salsa they serve are so delicious, we ate two baskets. This restaurant is absolutely beautiful and it's great for a date night, hanging out with friends or family or for a party. So many good selections on the menu we will definitely be back there again soon. Thank you for great hospitality and customer service which our waitress Daniella should be applauded for her hospitality!!! This place is amazing. read more

It took a while for me to do this review because I dreaded doing it... this incident occurred during my birthday dinner and it was such a let down! Server Ethan was attentive and gave time for us to place our orders. I ordered the Ola burrito and a few seconds into our meal... A LONG STRING OF HAIR... under the sauce and I was sooo disgusted + annoyed. They redid the burrito and I took it to go. The manager: Travis came over and extended his apologies but what can' be said about a situation like that... I liked the churros with ice cream + the chips and salsa. These were the best things I had. The Ola burrito was nothing special, imo. Filled with veggies, rice, beans.. the chicken needed more flavor --it was just ok. I don't think I'd return. read more

Stopped by in time for happy hour which, unfortunately can only be enjoyed indoors. Still a decent view though by the bar. We got the fish tacos which were ok but the asada nachos were great! I'm usually not a fan of carne asada, but I enjoyed it here. Nachos were great to share but could be an entree for one. Would recommend Ola for happy hour and the views! read more

Food: We went here for dinner a week ago. They had very personable receptionists that sat us during their busy hours (6:30 pm, Friday). I ordered Rib eye enchiladas. Strips of Ribeye was served medium-rare. The enchiladas were ok. I thought it had too much cheese though. Side orders were ok.My fiancé had the blackened fish. It was good and tasty. Service: it was very good. The young waitress was very nice and attentive. We asked about the fish and she said it was a favorite in their menu. My fiancé was happy with it. The 2 watermelon margaritas I drank was tasty. Ambiance: The vibe was very touristy and looked top $$$. It was very cosmopolitan. Mexican food is at a different scale here. I am giving them a rating of 3.8 read more

Food is delicious and never disappoints. The shrimp and lobster enchiladas are a must try! So rich and savory it comes with 3 and nothing else. You will leave pleased, satisfied and want to come back. Don't forget dessert and order some churros. Get there early to enjoy a breathtaking sunset view of Huntington Beach. Priceless view. Service was fantastic and staff is great. Riley is an awesome server. read more

Parking is street or in the parking garage. It is validated for 2-3 hours I believe. Service was fast & friendly. Loved our server & host. The location is amazing. We sat right by the window with an amazing view. Ambiance was nice, some harsh lighting in some seating areas. The complimentary chips & salsa are amazing. I had the passion fruit margarita which was excellent and then had the chicken enchiladas (rice & beans are not included) Prices were a bit high but still had a great time. read more

Came for lunch 7/2/2025. Had a great time. The place is super roomy with plenty of seating and a lot of nice beach views! SERVICE: We were greeted right when we got in and seated quickly. Our server was very nice and super attentive. Got our drinks and food timely! FOOD: Fabulous! From the house-made Cho's and salsa to our food choices - everything was great. We tried the shrimp ceviche, Caesar salad, tortilla soup and the agave salmon. Everything was perfect! And the margaritas - Superb!! If you are hanging in HB - you gotta come hang at Ola's - even if just for chips and margs!! read more

Ola is solid Mexican food with knock out views of the ocean, especially at sunset! It is conveniently located in Pacific city right off PCH and across from the ocean in Huntington Beach and it is on the second floor, which gives it really great views as long as you're sitting near the window. The food was good, but the service was a bit slow, and it was a difficult time to get at the attention of our server throughout the experience. I would like to try again, especially as I live right down the street so it's really convenient not to mention. We did meet the owner unexpectedly when we were entering and he was super sweet, but I just wasn't overwhelmed with our experience but plan to try again! read more

Second time coming in and it was a drastic difference. First off the service was great, we got a table so quick for a group of 9 and the waitresses were so good, quick, and kind. I went down to 4 stars this visit instead of 5. The chips were nowhere near as seasoned as they were first time. We clearly got the end of a batch or something because they barely had seasoning. The pollo con mole was mid as well. Chicken was well prepared but the mole sauce was nothing special. And again the Baja fish tacos are 10/10!! My friend said the blackberry jalepeno marg was "the best margarita I've ever had" and all of the other flavors were amazing too! read more

I had really high hopes for this place--it came recommended by a few friends--but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. To start with the positives: the ocean views were easily the highlight of the experience. The breeze and the general ambiance were all lovely. I also appreciated the complimentary chips and salsa. Our waiter didn't ask if we'd been there before or offer any kind of introduction--he jumped right into asking what we wanted to order. When we weren't ready, he came by a few times without much patience and never offered suggestions or guidance. I eventually asked for a recommendation and went with the shrimp taco, and also ordered their short rib taco, which was the special that day. I didn't enjoy the shrimp taco. The short rib taco had good flavor, but it was extremely greasy--probably the greasiest dish I've ever been served, to the point where grease covered my whole plate and made the tortilla soggy. As for drinks, they didn't impress me either. Nothing stood out and I wouldn't go back for them. A quick note on parking: it's worth asking the valet about the best option. There's a sign advertising a deal, but it only covers a short window. We were told by the valet that paying the flat $20 for the night was the better option, and that turned out to be true. Overall, aside from the view and free chips and salsa, the experience was underwhelming. I don't see myself returning. read more

Ola Mexican Kitchen - Short rib taco - Mexican Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

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! read more

The service was really great, I wish I could remember my waiter's name. But if you are lucky enough to have a friendly redheaded dude, that was him! Came here on a Saturday to grab a quick bite and a drink. The tacos are $17 for 2 or $21 for 3. The two tacos were a decent enough size for me, but if you're a big eater you may want to go for three. I had the carne asada and the pork belly it was good. I had the bloody orange cocktail and thoroughly enjoyed sipping it as I enjoyed my view of the beach. My waiter didn't rush me, and I got to enjoy the complimentary nachos with a bunch of different hot sauces that he brought out. This is a great place to go on a sunny day. read more

Haven't eaten here in a while. We were greeted by a friendly hostess and seated right away. Our server was warm, friendly and accommodating. We ordered various dishes and drinks for a lunch party of 5. Unfortunately, the shrimp was very overcooked and so over-dusted with powdered seasonings, that the shrimp taste was gone. The fried fish in the Baja fish tacos tasted weird - like it has sat in the freezer a long time. The margaritas and the ceviche were good. Half of us thought the food was too spicy. The place is nicely decorated and the view is very nice. Would probably only return for drinks and apps only. read more

The best thing about this place was definitely the ambience! We sat in the patio. It was such nice weather!!!! Me and my friends had cocktails and the food was beyond delicious.

Amazing ambiance overlooking Huntington Beach from this second story restaurant. Located in the nice Pacific City shopping center which is walkable to the Huntington Hyatt if staying there. Their chips are served with refried beans made from black beans, and their tortillas are delicious. Tried the chicken and carnitas taco. The chicken taco was incredible, one of the best I've had, with a delicious sauce. The carnitas wasn't as thrilling but still was a solid traditional taco. Both tacos had a healthy portion of meat and tasted like quality ingredients. We will be back on our next trip! read more

We came here since we were in the area and a friend recommended it. I can't stop talking about their chips. They were sooooo good and warm. We went through almost 2 baskets of them and then I bought some to take home. They were still good all week long. Seriously. For food, I had the pork belly taco and it's a really good size and was pretty tasty. I'd definitely go back if in the area since I'm a bit far from here. Service was good. I just don't recall our server's name. read more

The food!!! I can't believe this place is still open! I tried them when they first open and it was terrible! From the salty chips to the dried out chicken in the tacos. I waited a few more years decided to give them a try again with hubby on date night longing for great Mexican food only to be disappointed again. I guess I'm a sucker recently took a friend that works at Pacific Cities for her lunch break and we went to Ola's. Guess what the worst lunch ever!! Ordered tried out chicken tacos, cold disgusting rice and beans and chips soggy with way too much salt. I can't remember what my friend got but she didn't eat it. We literally threw away $88.00. Shame on you Ola charging that much for horrible food! I think the people that are giving you great reviews drank to much or are living in the story book I read to my kids... The Emperor's New Clothes by Hans Christian Anderson! The food server was slow but I don't think it was his fault he had too many tables. The management needed to schedule another server. Please don't waste your money!! read more

Stopped in for some grub on a sunny and slightly breezy Thursday afternoon. The hostess was very friendly. We sat where we had a direct view of the beach and ocean, which made for great scenery.
