    Finally decided to try Ole' after passing by it so many times and I'm glad we did. We ordered takeout and I was really impressed. The staff was friendly when we placed our order and again when we picked it up. The inside of the restaurant looked really nice. Bright walls decorated with Mexican art and a good amount of seating. They also have a nice bar that looks like a great spot to sit, grab some food and enjoy a margarita. I ordered the Ole's Burro with carne asada, which comes with rice and beans on the side. Everything was delicious. I'd definitely come back and next time I'll probably dine in.

    I have not been here since my friend passed away. She had ALS, and I took care of her till the end. We went here all the time, and had many conversations and watched many a game here. I sat in my usual stool at the bar, and her seat....well it was empty....but many memories filled it. I decided to order a couple things different, and I was not disappointed. I for the 9 oz prime rib, (number 28 I think) and the potatoes and beef tacos. (number 14). I expected pan fried enclosed tacos with beef and potatoes, so that was my bad. They said pan friend, and I misunderstood. They were excellent though! The star of the show is this 9oz prime rib. I asked for it med rare, and was told ...basically they try. What I got was a DELICIOUS, medium rare slice of heaven. The sides are on point, the flavor of the meat ....was mouth watering. THIS will bring me back , as well as all the other things I have tried. I have to give a shout-out to Denise. She was behind the bar, and it was slow, and then BOOM everything got busy. She found me on the way to the bathroom (as she was waiting on other tables), and asked if I needed anything, (I took forever to decide). She was so kind and attentive.....even though she was waiting on some dining room tables as well as the bar...she did great. I think my Bestie is smiling ......

    Fish taco

    Fish tacos on Friday. Option grilled or fried! Fantastic. I like grilled. So 2 grilled Talapia tacos. Fish is a good size!!!Option flour or corn. W/rice and beans. Pretty yummy. $13. House margi. Decent. Chips awesome! Salsa 7.5. little spice not too much. I'm very pleased with the dinner. Better than a year ago.

    Cold tacos

    Save your money. Go somewhere else. How you going to have a "special" Of a tiny soup and a cold taco. For 9.99? Then I ordered carne asada hard shell tacos. With beans and rice.. never again. Just not worth it. Kinda upsetting for Mexican food in Tucson. Go somewhere else the food is cold, and just not worth it.

    Chile relleno
    Hannah S.

    I love this super unassuming spot in north Tucson for a quick, Decently priced Mexican meal. Service is friendly and quick, and their menu has a lot of traditional options. I always order the Chile relleno plate that comes with rice & beans. Plus complimentary chips and salsa! Always a hit and coming in hot. Partner got the steak fajitas and they came hot and fresh. Similar to a Guadalajara but I personally feel the prices are much better.

    38. Beef Tamales

    Soooooo good. Service was very friendly and attentive. There wasn't much customers but the servers and bussers were on top of it, making sure our drinks were filled and we were checked on. Food didn't take too long to arrive and it was certainly delicious. It's a cute lil place that I have always been susceptible about, but I'm finally glad I stopped by and tried it. Definitely worth it!

    I wanted to really like this place. We had enchiladas and fajita's And since they offered red menudo , I had to know. It lacked the richness of a good one. And the oregano for topping was from a shaker that was as ground as pepper. Menudo is a gamble, every chef is different. If he came to my place I could give him another outlook. If I come again I will have the shrimp fajita. They looked and smelled great. The shrimp had a Smokey flavor worth repeating. The restaurant itself is very decorated in Mexican theme.

    Taco salad
    Chrissie S.

    Loved it. We've been here now twice in 2 weeks. Chips and salsa was good. The service was excellent. We've been here when it's busy busy and times they had multiple table options. We've had multiple options and all were good. Totally would return!

    I've been coming to this establishment for the past 18 years and the food and service have always been exceptional, very clean area and restrooms! And attentive service. My fave is the caldo de queso (traditional Mexican cheese soup) with sautéed peeled and cubed potatoes, sliced onions and tomato, roasted green chiles, and melted cheese seasoned to taste in a addicting buttery tasting savory broth. This place is closest (5 min drive) from Northwest Hospital, so it makes it super convenient to eat homemade dishes to sooth the soul. Come in and enjoy this cozy and uplifting little restaurant with good music and vibes! This place does not disappoint!

    This was my first time visiting a Guadalajara Grill in Tucson, and in years. I was overall quite…read morehappy with our experience. The interior is visually congested, not in a bad way but with lots of decor, seating, movement areas and etc. It makes a feeling of the space being busy and distracting. I prefer calmer spaces but it's not terrible. Service was prompt, frequent and wonderful. An older woman came by and asked how we wanted salsa and made us a bowl which was INCREDIBLE! So savory, spicy, fresh and left me wanting more. (You get a certain amount salsa and chips per person than you gotta pay). It was literally perfect. We weren't super hungry and wanted to share, to us the serving was more than enough for two. We enjoyed a house rocks margarita, grilled steak fajitas with rice and beans, sides of sour cream and guacamole and also some chips and salsa. It was all very well made, came out steaming and was very satisfying. The space felt cold to me, but seemed fine to all else. So just a note there if you run on the warmer side. I don't know if they do reservations, but I would imagine on some nights it would be a good idea seeing as they seem very busy.

    Ugh! I feel genuinely bad about giving this place three stars because it has all the makings of…read morebeing a five stars if not for one very important thing...the food. Which, you know, is kind of the whole point of a restaurant. The atmosphere was great, a little on the nose, but great none the less. It feels like a Mexican dinner or at least what I imagined a dinner in Mexico would look like. The staff where beyond amazing, especially the woman who made our complementary salsa right at the table. And the salsa was yummy but sadly that's the only part of the meal that I can say that about. The thing is, nothing was truly bad, but just about everything was incredibly bland. You'd have expected someone who puts raisins in potato salad to have served it, not an authentic Mexican restaurant. Though the positive is the lack of seasoning is really the only major problem. The food did not have any weird taste, it wasn't dry, the presentation was fine. It simply needs to be seasoned and this place goes to a solid 4/5 rather than a three.

The meat was not tender or chewy, and it didn't really taste like anything. The rice and refried beans were in surprisingly small portions, and the jalapeno wasn't very spicy either.
