Cool spot with good food! Only reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars is because they don't make substitutions to their breakfast burrito (like not making it with pork for my friend's religious dietary reasons). Other than that, their menu is large and has many options. The service is great and food comes out pretty quickly. I've only been during the day but I heard they get pretty packed at night-- more bar vibes. I'd recommend it for brunch/lunch, but not sure how it is for dinner. read more

Worst Ola I've been too, Downey Ola is way better. The server with the tattoos gave us horrible service. I kid you not there was probably about 10-15 people MAX & she didn't even check up on us once + she was on her phone the whole fucking time. I can't believe how horrible the service was here, never ever coming back to this location. read more

Food is not good. The drinks are pricy but good! The vibe in here was fun. Happy hour deal isn't great. They also add gratuity. I think because I had 6 ppl in my party but either way I was surprised. Don't think I would come back unless it was to meet up people for a drink. read more

I visited this restaurant recently and was extremely disappointed After I paid and left, I discovered that the staff had fraudulently added a tip to my debit card without my authorization. I did not leave a tip on the receipt, yet somehow, one appeared on my final charge. This is credit card fraud, plain and simple, and completely unacceptable. I called the restaurant and I spoke with the manager, who told me "there's nothing we can do." That's completely unacceptable. A business should take responsibility for fraudulent activity, especially when it's coming from within their own staff. I've since reported the transaction to my bank and am considering further action with the appropriate authorities. If you decide to eat here, check your receipts and your bank statement very carefully. What could've been a decent experience was completely ruined by dishonesty. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! read more

Our first visit and had a nice experience. I would describe OLA Restobar as a sports bar with music and new age Mexican menu selections (authentic with a twist?). Large inside dining areas, but it was a little loud, so we opted to sit on their small, street front patio. SERVICE: Very good, thanks to Valeria and the rest of the wait staff. Even the restaurant's Security was nice and acknowledged us every time they walked by. DRINK / FOOD: I had the Mexican Candy Flight margaritas ($14.50) which included Watermelon, Mango, and Tamarind samplers, very sweet. Delia had a Paloma ($21), which she thoroughly enjoyed. We shared two appetizers: Stacked Taquitos ($12.99) topped with sour cream and cheese, with guacamole and salsa verde; and the Queso Fundido OLA ($16.99), topped with 3 meats (Carne Asada, Chorizo, and Carnitas) and jalapeños. Both were delicious! The drink and food menu here is extensive and everything that we saw around us looked great. We'll definitely be back in the near future. read more

El restaurante está agradable buen ambiente.. Encargamos diferentes platillos no todos estaban mal.. Pero 2 de ellos no me gustaron que fue el de aguachiles rojos esta muy salado y la salsa que lleva no esta buena. El otro es el burrito campechano tiene mas papas que carne tampoco me gusto si hubiera sabido que tenia papa adentro ni lo pido.. Esos 2 platillos NO los recomiendo para nada. No me gusta gastar dinero en algo que ni me gusto es mi opinión. read more

Came on a Sunday morning around 10 for brunch and they sat us right away. As they got busier we did notice our waitress was taking a long time to come back around so it took a long time to eventually get our check but not the end of the world. We really liked that they had screens everywhere with games on, even though no one we were interested in was playing, good to know for the future. Music playing but not so loud you can't converse like a lot of places these days! Food - ordered the chicharrones and guac as a appetizer, both were good and they don't skimp on the guac! I ordered the breakfast skillet. It was essentially fajitas with egg, sausage, ham and bacon in it and was really good! Very filling! I am 8mo pregnant and not a lot of room in my belly so I was sad I couldn't eat more! My husband got the huevos con chorizo and he didn't leave a single speck of food on his plate. Value for the $ - 5 stars Ambiance - 5 stars Service - 4 stars Food - 5 stars Would definitely want to come back when I'm not pregnant to try some of their cocktails read more

Really good service good energy. Food was really good. Pretty chill and not crowded during breakfast lunch hour during the weekday. read more

OLA Restobar - $5 mimosas Mon- Thurs. Bomb chilaquiles! - New American Near Me - Covina, California

Don't come if your hungry or thirsty. We came at 10:40 am on a Thursday morning. Seated right away. However the ordering part took place awhile later. The server came to ask us for our drink order, we gave our selection ($5) mimosas lights, and then when she came back to bring us our drinks, we were ready to order however she brought the drinks, didn't ask us anything and immediately walked away. When she came back another 10min later we got to place out orders. We arrived at 10:40, it's 1:37 right now, and my water still has yet to be filled a second time. I guess we have to ask for water as well for everything else. Between getting out drinks and wanting to order another drink it was 20min in between. When I ordered the second mango margarita she informed me that it was past 12 and would be regular price. Idk I ordered the queso fundido and also the two eggs Benedict Chile l. So their Benedict's plate, came with a salad, I don't remember reading anywhere it saying they put walnuts in their salad. I'm allergic to walnuts. So I had to ask them I take it back, wait again. But not I'm afraid to eat my food. Also the queso gets hard fast and it's not tasty unless you rush to eat it. Overall they could use more staff or better train their staff. Also make sure certain food plates like salad have the correct description of what they contain. I'm pretty sure they took the plate back and just removed the walnuts I highly doubt they made a fresh different salad so I didn't bother to eat it because it honestly looked like the same plate. Just without walnuts. read more

OLA Restobar - Who ever this is was sooo rude. - New American Near Me - Covina, California

Went to meet up with some girlfriends for Sunday brunch at the urging of a friend. Pros: lively atmosphere where you can people watch! The menudo was really good!! Staff is super attentive and friendly. I love picture menus! Pretty drinks! Cons: the music was so loud- we had to shout to hear each other if we weren't right next to each other. Pictures showed huge plates and drinks but what came to the table in real life was not so much. The drinks were more sweet than they were stiff. Limited options for brunch. The spot was busy. It seems that lots of people come here to try the drinks, especially the michelada, margarita & mimosa flights. It's a little pricey..but then again everything is these days. I'd come back for the menudo that is only available on weekends, and I would like to try the non-brunch menu as well. Portions weren't big, but they were enough. Plates are in the $13-17 range. They automatically charge 18% gratuity for parties of 6+ so keep that in mind. Parking along the street. read more

My girlfriend and I took my parents here for brunch and it was an awesome experience! Aside from being loud from the music, they had an excellent variety for lunch and the service was spot on! We were seated right away and our waitress was delightful! We ordered 3 coffees and they were well presented, on a wooden board with cream, sugar and cookies! We proceeded to order and the food came out quickly! I ordered the pork belly Benedict with a banana Nutella crepe and it was delicious! I'm not generally a benedict person, but the addition of pork belly made all the difference! It was served with a hearty bowl of fruit as well. My girlfriend ordered the pancakes and although she wished it came with a little more syrup, she was pleased with consistency and presentation. My parents ordered the breakfast burrito and huevos rancheros respectively and both thoroughly enjoyed them! Great food, atmosphere and service! We look forward to going back soon! read more

This is my second trip to OLA. Had to text my son I was coming because I know it is one of his favorites. I was meeting a friend and i started with a flight of mimosas. At $4.99 before noon it was too good to pass. Don't judge, it was 11:50 AM. The drinks were very good and I was laughing because everyone took up their pre noon offer. When my friend showed up we decided that the last time we ordered the OLA Platter with taquitos, nachos, guacamole and more. It was really good and the two of us barely made a dent into it. Thank goodness we both have hungry teenagers that would love to have leftovers. Place was really nice although the music was a bit loud for a lunch at noon. I really enjoy coming here and want to come try their Happy Hour. read more

This place is crazy overrated I'm sorry. Let's start with the aggressive security putting his hand in front of me like "Nope, stop" when I approached. I told him I was picking up my to go order. Mind you I'm 5'4 gal in my crocs and tee after a long day of corporate work trying to enjoy my Aguachiles on a friday night. Psh- Did they maybe forget they sell food aside from booze. The aguachiles here used to be my favorite I had to go fishing for shrimps in my to go order. I hardly had any and for the price now I expected better. Often It is way too loud in there and often difficult to hear a conversation your trying to have with the person next to you. I heard recently they adjusted the volume some. I just feel that the focus here is the alcohol. I will go down to Camichin for my mexican food, it's delicious. read more

Service is sometimes slow. Not bad the food. Disappointed that they charge you for chips and salsa. $5.99.

The atmosphere is great, lively good music. The waitress Luz was very attentive and friendly. Aqua Chili was delicious, spicy and also the ceviche was flavorful will try again. Menu was good all the food has a lot of flavor. Great selection of Mexican cuisine. We will be back For all the sports fans there are multiple big screens to watch your sporting events through out the restaurant read more

The food , service, and atmosphere were all good The waitresses Dee was great, and she checked up on us several times. Also, another gentleman with a ponytail who I think was a Manger check-in on us three times. The only thing was she could of asked if we wanted the dessert at the end of the meal. We will definitely be coming back and recommend this place to our family & friends. read more

This place is located in downtown Covina and has a good party vibe. Big tvs, loud music, cute decor but they missed the mark with the food and drinks. The drinks had too much tajin but not enough alcohol. Now about the food. Huge menu and a lot to choose from. They have these shareable platters and we ordered the Marisco tour with all sorts of shrimp items. Everything was just meh. Presentation is cool and good amount of food but just not anything special. Service was great. Our server checked on us plenty! read more

We came here to have dinner on a Friday night. The drinks were great the food was delicious. The reason for the 4 star is that the music was way to loud. Yes I get it was friday night and everyone is there to party but when you cant even hear the person sitting next to you, or you cant hear what the waitress is saying then the music is overly loud. Although the music was very good and a variety was being played just too loud. Also there were 3 little boys that kept running around and from their table to the outside front part of the restaurant. It was rather annoying yet non of the staff said anyghing to the parents and of course the parents were oblivious the the fact their kids were being annoying. read more

Make sure your bill doesn't go over $250 (including taxes) or be prepared to pay an 18 % gratuity fee. No matter how big or small your party is. Our bill for a party of 4 went over $1 and got charged $42 more. It only went over because of the taxes. The waitress only came to our table twice to check up on us. Food was delish and ambiance as well. read more

Food and drinks were great but service was bad. Our table took forever to be cleared after our appetizer and drinks and main they just kept bringing stuff out to us with our clearing our empty plates table was small and things were falling all over even when asking them to clear it. The lady that brought out our food spilled our salsa all over the floor next to us and instead of mopping it up she swept it and didn't clean it properly which made our server almost fall. The lady who spilled it never brought us a new one when we asked. When trying to strike a conversation with one of the wait staff she just turned away hardly engaging in anything we said.. this kinda service turned us off it was our first time there too.. like I said food was great but the rest was questionable read more

Just a really weird encounter with security. We were a group of four that just came from Color Me Mine looking for somewhere to grab dinner. We get to the front, show our ID's to the first security guard and for whatever reason the second security guard standing right next to him asks to see them too--fine, whatever. Our friend stuck her ID back in her bag without putting it in her wallet, so she made a light joke while digging for it. All of a sudden, the second security guard says she's drunk and can't come in. We're all genuinely confused, because we're all stone cold sober and between coming from work, to painting figurines, to going to the restaurant, we wouldn't have even had a chance to get drunk. We ask the guard what makes him think she's drunk and he can't give us a reason why and just says it's policy that if he thinks someone's drunk, they can't come in. I ask to speak to a manager, he says we can call the restaurant to speak to a manager--and of course there's no way to connect with someone directly when calling the number and their mailbox is full. I go back with one friend, whom the security guard didn't say was drunk, and we go inside. The first security guard was going to let us in because he seen us literally 15 seconds ago, the second security guard demands to see our ID's again. While waiting at the front I ask the manager Geo what's the basis for determining if someone's drunk, he also can't give me a clear answer but offers that if my friend comes back, he himself can make that call. I ask for the security guards' names, he says something along the lines of Hector and Luis. It's loud inside, so I walk outside to call my friends to ask if they'd like to try again--they were uncomfortable and would rather meet at a nearby bar. That's fine, the other friend and myself will wrap up here and leave. I ask the security guards their names and they give me different names than what the manager tells us. I find it weird and was just gonna bring it up to the manager before my friend and I left. The two of us go back inside and while waiting to get seated, the security guard comes into the restaurant and tells us we need to leave. I ask him why and he says it's for customers only. I tell him we're customers and are waiting to get seated and he just stands there looking stupid before he walks back outside. We're about to get seated but at this point I'm annoyed, because between the security guard saying my friend was drunk when she wasn't, to the security guard telling us we couldn't go inside to talk to the manager and that we can call the restaurant, knowing that there's no way to get in contact with a live person and the voicemail box is full, to both the security guards and the manager lying about their names, to the security guard coming into the restaurant to tell us to leave because he's worried about us talking to the manager, it was all just so unnecessary and immature. I'm curt with the manager and address these issues, he gets stressed. Suddenly it's policy to not give us the names of the security guards--which is fine, but why couldn't Geo just tell me that in the first place instead of lying to me? If they would've cut the bs and been honest with me, I would've been gone and way less upset a long time ago. Geo brings out his general manager Camille who asks what the issue is, I retell the story and she confirms they can't tell us the security guards' names, which makes no sense to me, but I appreciate her being upfront instead of trying to lie her way out of it like the security guards and Geo. We go outside to speak with the problem security guard and he makes excuses at to why he came inside to try to pull us out, saying we could check the cameras to try and offset the conversation, which the general manager agreed was unnecessary. He then made the excuse that the entry way needed to be clear--but we were already inside and the doors were closed, so we obviously weren't obstructing anything. He keeps trying to make other ridiculous excuses and at this point I'm fed up. I tell him that the reason this is all an issue and explain to him that if he didn't have a clear basis as to why he made all these stupid decisions, then the next step is just to say sorry. I accept his half-assed apology and leave, the second I walk away from the podium the security guard is running to the general manger to make excuses and mope. Very disappointing. The biggest kicker was that after we ate at another restaurant and left around 11pm, we drove past the restaurant to see that the security guards weren't even at the front anymore. This restaurant has gotten A LOT of 1-star reviews in the past 30 days, so I hope they take into consideration that maybe taking some accountability and doing a little bit of growing up instead of trying to be sneaky and lie to customers could do wonders for their reviews in the future. read more

Horrible customer service. Took forever to get a server. Brought the wrong order. When we asked for utensils to eat our food they had an attitude and told us they were not our server and to wait for our server to pass by.

3.5 stars tbh. Service really missed. We were seated quickly which was nice considering it was a busy Saturday brunch rush. However, it took a while for my drink to come out and then my girl got her food before I did and I then waiting another 10-15 minutes for my food to come out.

Good bar with good food but loud music playing where you can barely hear the person you're dining with. Went there to watch the Super Bowl game and got there 2 hours early to get a seat on the bar in front of one of their main monitors. This was fine until just after the game started the GM came to me and told me I had to move over to let 3 guys who just walked in to sit directly in front of the main monitor I had been viewing. I told him I got there early to see the game where I thought I would be to my advantage but he said it didn't matter and wanted me to move over. I told him I wouldn't mind moving over a seat if he had them buy me a beer that I had been drinking but he told me he couldn't do that. I finally said I'll move over if HE bought me a beer for my moving over for these guys and he said he would so I finally moved over. This was about principle and had nothing to do with the fact I wanted a beer but the fact that I got there early to reserve a good seat for the game but he wanted to squeeze as many people into his bar by game time as he could which I could understand why money wise. I drank my beer and left at halftime to watch the rest of the game at home and won't be back because this GM doesn't respect their customers rights over their bottom dollar. Other than that, the bartenders and waitresses are awesome. read more
