The food was ok not something I would come back for but the bar and music was a vibe. The dj had good music and I can see myself coming back here to drink and party but not eat. read more

This establishment deserves 0 stars! Went there yesterday with a group of my girlfriends to celebrate a birthday we got sat down and left waiting to get served and no one ever came. They eventually came to tell us we were getting kicked out because we were too drunk. We had done absolutely nothing we were all sitting down waiting to get served and 2 of our friends were dancing next to our table because they had a live DJ! If you don't want people to dance and have fun a DJ isn't the brightest idea. If we were too drunk then why let us in to begin with! I had previously went to the bathroom and there was vomit all over the floor in one stall, no toilet paper in another and no seat covers in another. Disgusting establishment will never return, and I'll make sure to tell everyone I know the same. I'm so glad we didn't spend our money there thank you for that! Ended up at Mandala Bar around the corner and had a great time highly recommended! read more

Had a great time last night! My friends and I came here last minute and we enjoyed ourselves. The drinks/food/music and the atmosphere, service was fantastic! We will definitely be back!!! read more

Downtown Downey just got a vibe upgrade thanks to OLA. The menu is vibrant and inventive without overthinking it. Each bite felt thoughtfully layered, hitting rich and spirited notes without getting fussy. & Cocktails here deserve applause. I tried a flight and a margarita and they were bright, balanced, and beautifully built. There's flair behind the bar, and the drinks definitely elevate the meal. They're serving Asombroso here and it just felt right seeing the bottle up on their shelf. OLA is doing it big in Downey. Stylish, fun, memorable--and absolutely one of those spots I'd recommend without hesitation. --Rick read more

I called and asked them what time is they happy hour they said "3-7pm" I drove 40 minutes just to get turned around saying "they're having a invite" my thing is why didn't you say that on the phone I literally waisted my time coming all the way to Downey thinking I'm going to have me a little good time just to get turned around. read more

Amazing service I only was interested in the tacos which were really good I got the one on the broad. The agua chiles the one with mango was very nasty don't recommend it no flavor only tasted the limón no chile, also Jamaica is not homemade .Overall everything was good, the girl restroom is very nasty no one cleans it just heads up girls. I recommend this people who has friends and like to share from each other plates the plates are big enough for two people. read more

This was our first time here. We were celebrating a birthday for one of our sisters. It was an easy check in process. Our waitress, I believe her name was Paula took great care of us immediately with our drink and food orders. The food here was amazing. One order was big enough to share with folks. We had the ola pizza, a breakfast burrito, the carne asada tampiquena, the steak and chilaquiles, the tablita DTLA & Del Mar with flights of mimosas. The food was good and they had good music playing throughout the entire dining time. They have an inside and outside seating area. They surprised our friend with a birthday shot and it made her feel special ( thank y'all for that) I would definitely come back again. Thanks for the amazing service. read more

8/10 this is my second time visiting Ola Restobar, but my first time trying out there brunch . And I must say I am impressed. The food is very flavorful,filling , and fresh . I love how every bite you could still taste the flavor. The presentation is amazing definitely one of their strong points they offer inside and outside seating the bathrooms are clean and I love how it has a little bit of. It's all touch and decoration going on the staff are friendly, very welcoming and on top of things the pricing is reasonable judging on how much food you get. Both times I visited. I had a great experience and also two different experience. I would definitely recommend this location and I'll be back to try new things. @olarestobartm The pics I've provided is from both times I visited for brunch and got dinner . read more

I recently visited this spot and have mixed feelings about the experience. The food was excellent, the ambience was on point, and the drinks were solid--definitely a place I'd return to for the menu alone. However, the customer service left a lot to be desired. Our server, Maria, seemed overwhelmed or inattentive. I had to flag her down several times, and at one point, I even walked up to the bar to order my own beer because the wait was just that long. It really took away from the overall experience. Another thing I noticed--if you weren't dressed to impress, you might get overlooked. People in casual attire like jeans or sweats seemed to be told to seat themselves. That kind of vibe isn't welcoming. Just a reminder: never judge a book by its cover--you never know who's walking through your doors. The place has serious potential with great food and drinks, but the service needs a major upgrade. Take care of the customer, and the customer will always take care of you. read more

Place is great fun, good music DJ, prices are fair!! Highly recommend it. Been there a couple times

The service is horrible. We came for the Dodger game & they promote the $4.00 beers during the games ( great!). We had to call a server over to our table. We ordered food and drinks. Our server barely came by and the restaurant wasn't even busy. The vibe is cool and played music. When we asked for our bill i was charged $3.50 for more wing sauce! My wings were dry which is why i requested more sauce. Also the waitress could've informed me of the charge. It's not a lot but considering a beer is $4.00. i also requested a copy of my receipt and did not get it. i will not be returning to this location. read more

Great customer service ! Always trying something new , and this place exceeds your expectations. Food drinks waitress Will definitely come back read more

Have been here, on different occasions, for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Have yet to be disappointed. They have a great variety of food and drinks. All very delicious. They have great music-such a vibe. Very aesthetic. They have brunch for certain hours of the day on Saturdays which I thought was amazing. Been with both, family and friends, and all have been impressed. read more

Food has lost its quality. Their aguachile use to be my favorite. It's lacking in flavor 100%. Their drinks are also bad. I ordered a mezcal spicy margarita. Not made good at all. Mezcal was lacking and the spicy was thru the roof. Bartender threw in all the seeds from the pepper in there that it only caused me heart burn and no buzz. I will be taking my business else where. Ola in Downey is really good. Sadly too far fro read more

The whole experience was great the service was amazing they did a great job being attentive of our large party with food drinks can't wait to go back again the food was delicious and fresh read more

Gustavo was the best manager here. We celebrated our birthday here with a group of ten, he told us to wait 2 min while he fixed tables for us, then immediately sat us and greeted. Amazing service, even read the menu w us and changed the music too. Amazing 10/10 read more

Came here for taco Tuesday & was extremely please with the prices, food and vibes! $1.99 tacos and $5 shots! Can't beat that.. I'll definitely be back! read more

Starting with the food--simply outstanding. From the moment you take a bite of their freshly made food you'll know you're in for a treat. Whether it's the perfectly marinated plates the juicy carnes each bit e ipacked with flavor. And don't even get me started on the cevichesfresh, zesty, and absolutely addictive! Really good drinks definitely we coming back read more

I hate to give such a bad review but this is truly my experience. The service was great but the food and drinks were awful. Menu is grossly overpriced. $15 for chips, guac, and chicharron but they excluded the chicharron. $18 for a burger plate, burger was overcooked and dry. It was advertised with thousand island dressing and had none in it. $17 for cocktails are expected, however our drinks were terrible. Came here to have some cute drinks and a quick bite but left disappointed. At least make up for the bad food with good drinks?! read more

OLA Restobar - Overcooked burger. I took out the toppings for a better view - Mexican Near Me - Downey, California

Sooo this one is a mixed review.. And I'll explain why! The reason I am saying mixed with only two stars is due to my brunch experience I had on Sunday. It smelled like a club if anyone who's what I mean. It's like spilled alcohol drinks and dirty bleach mop water smell. This particular day I came here with my family two kids and bf. We seen that they serve mimosa flights it's close to the house so we went. The brunch vibes I was looking for was not it. The food was not great. No flavor especially for breakfast dishes I was upset. Plot twist! I came here late night for drinks with friends and the vibe was great for a bar with finger food good music. This is why my review is mixed this place in my opinion is only good for a drunk night. The brunch experience was bad. Parking isn't the best either only street parking, usually you can find a park though. read more

Food was decent, service was okay, but the upcharging was ridiculous. We asked if they had a cucumber jalapeño margarita, waitress said, "Yes, what kind of tequila would you like?" I replied Don Julio Silver. No advisements or questions asked. Bill comes and they up-charged us $7.99 per drink for the cucumber and jalapeño. That is ridiculous and unheard of. At the very least they should have advised us in advance that they'd be up-charging the price of a meal for cucumbers and jalapeño mixer. read more

Good spot for after work drinks and nice deals on the happy hour food and beer combos (around $12-$15, I think from 5-7pm). It starts getting busy after 6pm and there's plenty of street parking before this time. The ambiance was chill with a little pretentious vibe. But fun to watch people socialize and dance, especially after all the drink specials that are offered throughout the night. Typical barfood which works fine for a quick happy hour bite. Ordered the taquitos and beer combo. The taquitos were the frozen kind but were good. The asada fries were just ok. They do have other food options but didn't try so can't comment on those. The bar seemed to have low stock on some of their items and was having issues with the beers on tap. The bar staff were friendly, and although busy, were attentive. On the other hand, the hosting staff seemed rude and a bit dismissive at the patrons waiting for a table or going inside. Inside, noticed a lot of extra staff just standing around chatting and only a few who were actually busy serving and waiting on tables. There are two outdoor heated patios, in the front and the back (which seemed nicer and more chill). The indoor seating has high tables and chairs, which are not great if you're wearing a dress/skirt. There are TV's, low light and loud music... ibelieve it was a DJ playing some 90s/00s and some Spanish tunes. There isn't a dedicated dance floor, but that didn't stop people from shaking it up. Oh boy, this review is all over the place but that's how this night felt, like a little chaotic but fun time! Haha! read more

I wa Ted to love this place because the music is blaring and it's open and the environment seemed lively however I ordered the margarita and I think they may need to change the water because it had a weird taste more than likely from the ice . When I had my friend's mimosa it was perfect. The service was good nice and friendly.we ordered the tacos because it was Tuesday. Between both of us we tried them all the only one that I thought that lacked flavor was the grilled fish. It reminds me of el pescador. read more

OMG.. YAAAAYYSSSS!!!! I'm so sad that I didn't know about this place sooner!! Finally, a place that feels like a club but isn't a club. A place that has club-like music with a DJ and club-like lighting with amazing yummy food & drinks. Hubby and I found this place while on our way to another restaurant. Instead of going to that other restaurant, we walked passed OLA and ended up here instead. What caught our eye was the music and the club-like ambiance we were getting just by walking by. We were sold instantly haha. We sat immediately and were given the menu. They have a lot to choose from and a full bar. We ordered drinks, appetizers, and dinner. While eating and drinking, you'll find yourself dancing and moving in your seat. Not only was the food good, but the overall experience was off the walls! I didn't want to leave haha. Also, this was on a regular Monday evening. It wasn't even on a Friday or a Saturday. Thank OLA for a great night out. I definitely needed that and my hubby and I had a wonderful evening. We will be back for sure! Maybe next Monday. :) read more

This place def has a club vibe. My girl and I went out for dinner but this place played club music, had the DJ lights going and it felt like this was their target audience. The server was super friendly, kind, and on top of it (reason why I gave it a 3 star review). The food wasn't anything that stood out, it was ok (not great but not bad either). When I asked about the special they were advertising, picture included, they said that it was only for opening day. The server actually went and asked the manager because she wasn't sure and that's the reply I got. Overall: Service is great , drinks are expensive, food is decent, ambiance good for a club but not to dine. read more

YALL I really wanted to like this place but the service was nottttt it. We were ignored and it took like 30+ minutes to get someone's attention. Everyone kept passing us like we weren't there and it was an ugly feeling. They are luckyyyy I spared them and didn't do a review on TikTok... read more

This place gets really busy and so I gave it 3 stars because the service can get sloppy. It's probably not the servers fault, but that has been my experience. The food was great, we went once with a part of 7 for brunch and it was just hard to catch the server for condiments or another round of drinks. I would come back for the food if we were going on a day when it's not as busy to see if there's a difference. Everyone at the table did enjoy their food. Their restaurant is pretty, very modern with a Latin twist. There's inside and outside seating. We sat outside, and it was great. We ordered a variety of cocktails and everyone enjoyed them, but they are pricey with the exact ounce of alcohol and nothing more read more

Brunch is LITERAL 9-2 and they do not allow you to order outside of the brunch menu. Servers were very honest on the food and drinks and stated how bad the horchata was, guac as well. My first time here and most likely last. Theme and all are great overall but not very good service or food. Alcoholic drinks cost as much as a food plate... read more

Giving it one STAR because I have too!! Went to the street fair .. as we walked saw the place from all the places we picked this one to have a drink maybe some food!! Place was empty!! yet the waitress came out said I'll be back we said can you take our drink order.. she wouldn't take it ! said she had to come back ! waited 5 minutes left!! I see why it's empty .. wow what a waste of a place .. never going there again .. I guess she was too good for us . good luck read more

The wait here is very short and the greetings are met well. Food is good! Been here a few times and have had a good experience every time. The area out back is a bit sunny but really nice. In front has better shade. Only downside is that you can only get the brunch on Sunday and if you want something from the kitchen you can't until after 2. But all and all a great place read more

The food and drinks are really good , good atmosphere and great service . Will definitely come again.

Tables were sticky, place is like a nightclub on a Monday. Like damn can we just grab a bite and drink without trying to party. I understand on weekends or after like 9pm but they seem desperate to compete with the other bars down the street read more

Came for brunch around 12:30, right before their brunch menu ends at 12:45. Our server showed up at 12:40, we asked if it was still okay to order brunch, and he said he'd check. He disappeared and didn't come back until 1:03 just to ask, "Are you guys ready to order?" We asked again if we could still get brunch, and he said yes, like the whole delay never happened. I ordered a cappuccino that never came. The server vanished for the rest of our meal. We had to ask other staff for literally everything silverware, napkins, and to check on my drink. When the food finally showed up, my French toast was burnt and crunchy like it had been left in a toaster too long. The food itself was mid, the drinks were good, but the service was awful. No communication, no follow up, and no effort. To top it off, they told us we couldn't sit on the back patio, but then another couple who walked in right after us got seated there. And at the end of it all, he had the audacity to ask if we still wanted the cappuccino. Sir, that ship has sailed, just bring the check. Overall, a super disappointing experience read more

First and foremost, worst service ever experienced. I am a waitress, I know how the system works, the server took so long for anything requested on a slow night. I don't understand how that's possible. We asked to use a specific amount on a certain card & the remainder on another and they said they couldn't do it. It's mandatory they do by law. What if I don't have enough funds on one. So the manager on duty said we weren't welcomed back. GLADLY. read more
