Fantastic queso. Not what I expected but delicious. Blue corn quesadillas were spot on, highly recommend.

Love this healthy and delicious Mexican restaurant. Atmosphere is quaint and fun. The outdoor seating is very inviting and decorative. I would recommend the drinks and the food! It's a small location so make sure you plan ahead if you have a big group. read more

I really wanted to like the food, but it was very bland and under seasoned. It is as if someone waved an unopened jar of salsa in the direction of my chile relleno and declared it TexMex by association. Service was polite, but very, very slow. I got zero refills on beverages, despite being there for over an hour and a half with two other guests. My guest got one of their breakfast platters. It was ok, but nothing particularly special. The potatoes were burnt and needed less dill and more salt. (There was so much dill they looked even more burnt than they actually were.) Portions were okay size for price. Restaurant was clean. The atmosphere is lovely and very welcoming. All the servers knew the products well. read more

Great food and service. Their white queso is the best I've ever eaten. I'd go there just for that. But everything else is delicious as well.

My experience eating here drastically perked up my cloudy day! I love a nice weekly deal (2.50 apps on Tuesday) and was so delighted with everything I tasted. The manager Cameron is super friendly and welcoming. our waitress Heather is darling and great at her job. Yummy yum yum read more

Cafe Ole has a really great patio for Sunday brunch! I have enjoyed their sangria and margaritas! I usually get the breakfast burrito but breakfast tacos are also a great choice! From now on I will always ask for Maria! She is a hoot and a half! We wanted a cornarita. It's not on the menu but she went a head and created it for us! She really is the reason we will continue to return. We really love the sidewalk table! We need to be separated from the rest of the public. read more

My wife and I had so looked forward to dining here again this evening, but right from the top our young lady server failed us on all counts. She failed to mention that it was happy hour and what the food and beverage specials were. We overheard the male waiter telling another table after we had already ordered. We've come here for years, but this evening realized they have changed their menu and prices too. I've always ordered the Blue Corn Stacked Enchiladas with chicken and much to my surprise they came out with no chicken. $13 for beans cheese and rice!! Way too salty to the point I could not eat them. My wife usually orders fish tacos and now those are not available and the shrimp tacos she got were so spicy (not alerted by menu) that she had difficulty eating them. So, in short, NO service from our waitress and sorry food. Adios Cafe Ole'. We won't be back. Looks like you are on the post-Covid restaurant decline. Too bad as you were once a "go to" for us. read more

Since moving to Tulsa nine months ago and frequent diners at various restaurants, this qualifies as the poorest food we have experienced. Advertised as " Colorado green chili enchilada" a very disappointing effort. Very little meat, placed on a plate and put in the oven until it dried out and stuck to the plate. Not a choice for the future! read more

I love their queso! It's delicious! I like the outdoor seating in the summer. They staff is always friendly and helpful.

Cafe Ole is small, casual mexican restaurant located in midtown. I have visited this place twice. While I have enjoyed their food and atmosphere I have to acknowledge that service is not great. During out second visit here our waiter took forever to refill drinks, get the check and even brin silverware (Service during our first visit was outstanding). Now, when it comes to food this is a good choice if you are craving something savory, delicious and fresh. Their house salsa (served complimentary with chips) is delicious and always fresh. I have tried the street tacos and their grilled salmon. Both dishes have exceeded my expectations. They also have a good selection of tequila and margaritas. read more

One of our all time favorites for outdoor dining, on the patio. Great ambiance. The service is always fast and friendly. Tasty house-made salsa and chips. The menu has expanded over the years and my personal favorite is their stacked blue corn chicken enchiladas. The house queso is also a traditional go-to favorite with a hint of cream cheese. Everything is fresh, well prepared and delicious and not the typical Tex-mex fare. The drinks are fairly priced. Sometimes a bit of a wait for a table but they are happy to serve drinks to anxious waiting guests. Really no complaints at all. read more

I had some of my best meals in Tulsa at Cafe Ole. From the Stacked Blue Corn Enchiladas to the queso to the fresh salsa with cilantro, I looked forward to going every time. For that, for all the great memories, for the outdoor fireplace, and for the Black Currant Iced Tea, I highly recommend Cafe Ole. Of course, it's been years since I've been here, so I hope it's still good. Thanks for the memories. read more

Several servers not wearing masks correctly. Very disappointed. Food was good but took a long time to get. Poor service - never got my water refilled even though we were on the patio and it was pretty hot. read more

Place was hopping at 7pm Sunday evening. Sat "outside" which was kept warm on this spring evening by plastic sides. Enjoyed their "world famous " margarita ", the 16 oz, $8.95 was $1 more than 12 oz, so I went big. Upon the recommendations of a person I met, i started with a small cream cheese queso $3.75. It did not have much flavor, even when i added salsa to it. The chips taste like they came from a bag, not house made. I described the dish I was seeking, a cheesy burrito to Justin, he recommended the enchiladas de pierce, I changed to have a flour tortilla. The pork & chorizo enchilda with chili Colorado sauce, black beans and rice were really good, exactly what I was looking for. The red salsa they serve with the chips is mild so I asked for the Spicier salsa. It was HOT! Just a small amount added to the red salsa was enough to give it kick. I was surprised when they charged $1 extra for the spicy salsa, I'm accustomed to both hot salsa being considered a complimentary condiment at a Mexican restaurant. So a 3 star for overall experience. read more

Incredible service!!!! I had server Jackson and he was so attentive and helpful! The food tasted amazing and my margarita was just perfect! :-) read more

I was very pleasantly surprised to find out how great cafe ole was today. My previous favorite Mexican restaurant was closed and we just kept driving around and ended up here. Fantastic And before I forget, on Tuesdays between 4 and 9 they have a $2,00 menu that really looked good and a great opportunity to try several things. Even the Tecate was $2. The blue corn stacked enchiladas were delicious and I had the street tacos that came with a picante sauce that was killer. Free chips and salsa was a great touch. The lunch came with a side and I had the tortilla soup. I could have done a gallon of that soup. Now my new favorite Mexican restaurant and I really look forward to returning. Oh yea, the service was just perfect. Plenty of parking. read more

Probably the worst Mexican in Tulsa. The food was terrible. Under seasoned and bland. Another reviewer said it's like they waved a can of salsa at the food for seasoning and that was spot on. There are better Mexican places within walking distance of this restaurant so save your time. read more

Food was great but not fast. Girlfriends came on a Saturday for lunch . Service was very good. Everyone left happy.

Cafe Ole! You have made my day! Wow! That Blue Enchilada Stack is out of sight! Love the quaint indoor eating area as well as the outdoor seating. Salsa is delectable, black beans are savory and cooked to perfection. I will be back! read more

I've long since relocated from Tulsa to Kansas City, however, going to Cafe Ole on each trip home is a must! The amazing white cream cheese based queso, beautiful patio and excellent service never disappoints! Welcome home! read more

Went for brunch and were very pleased. We ordered the Huevos Rancheros and Chicken Quesadilla which were excellent. Service was excellent and they were busy. Look forward to going again soon. read more

Probably one of my favorite restaurants in Tulsa! Every time I've come here has been with a group of 5 or more (usually it's more than 8 of us) and they are always so accommodating of our large groups! This is a go-to for my group of friends from college whenever we're all in town, primarily because of the drinks and the queso. I truly don't think I've ever had a negative experience here. One time, a group of 12 of us came for dinner during the winter. It was VERY cold, but we decided to sit out front while we waited for the rest of our group and our table. We got drinks and queso while we waited. Maybe I'm making this up but I'm pretty sure they brought us blankets. Eventually, our whole group had arrived and our table was ready, but we ended up enjoying each other's company (and the drinks and queso) so much that we just stayed outside despite the cold. They were, as always, accommodating of the change! Even in the cold, I loved the experience!!! Thanks, Cafe Ole, for consistently good food and for making reunions with college friends so much fun! read more

Have to go if you're in Tulsa. Tin Pan Tuesday is awesome if you want to try something other than the regular menu. Regular menu is great. Ole Queso is a must. Great and kind service. Patio is cozy in the fall/winter and nice in the spring/summer. read more

Definitely one of our favorite weekend spots! Today our waiter was Angie and she was SO nice, very on point. We usually only come for brunch, but will be checking out their evening dinner game. Even in the winter, their patio is so comfortable and they offer blankets. read more

Cafe ole is adorable. I love that it's tucked on a side road on Brookside. For the longest, I didn't know it was even there. I've never really had a negative experience there. Their food has always been good. It's really fresh and well put together but nothing outstanding. Their lunch menu is probably my favorite part of their menu as they have quick entrees for $6, $7, and $8 which is pretty adorable for lunch. I recommend the Mexican pizza for lunch. Also, if you order the Ole queso, be aware that it's melted cream cheese with Rotel(?) so you could literally eat a whole block of cream cheese with tortilla chips if you're not careful. read more

Food is good. Service is better than it was in distant past. Sitting on the covered patio is not as quiet as one would think, and as weather gets cold I hope fireplace will help. read more

I love Cafe Ole! It is tucked away on Brookside, and has a really amazing selection of New Mexican food! Everything I've had here I've really liked. They have a thick kind of queso that is very non-traditional, but delicious nonetheless. I would highly recommend trying it out. The margaritas are also good and reasonably priced. The restaurant space is pretty small, but it has a nice comfortable vibe to it. If you're able to get a spot on the patio, that's the place to be! They usually keep it open even in the cold months with plenty of heaters! One of my most favorite things about Cafe Ole is $2 Tuesdays. They have a menu of $2 items, and also have $2 Tecate beers. Some of the highlights on the $2 menu are the gordita, empanada, tamale, and the pork belly sope. Writing this review has made me very hungry, and it's a Tuesday, so you know where I'll be tonight. Cafe Ole is the best! read more

Cafe Ole is one of my favorite restaurants in Tulsa. Wonderful salsa. My favorite dish is the stacked blue corn enchiladas, but everything is good. Margaritas are the best in Tulsa, hands down. Patio is fantastic year round. Can't get enough of Cafe Ole! read more

I love this place . We live near this restaurant and somehow have not started going there until just this last past month. We have been there 3 times ! I love the quaint atmosphere. The tin pan Tuesday has a variety of flavorful food to try. The ole dip with a side of jalapeños is delicious. Love their street tacos !!!! We will keep coming back. Great place! read more

Cafe Ole has it all for me... a legit outdoor patio, inside AC, kid-friendly environment with a solid kid's menu, one of the best steak fajitas plate I've ever had... AND JALAPEÑO INFUSED TEQUILA! Yep. Cafe Ole is a Tulsa favorite for me. Start with the house queso; it has great consistency of not too water-ee. The complimentary salsa has just the right amount of kick. I devoured 2 helpings! The steak fajita plate is just beautiful. The meat was obviously marinated in pure flavor goodness and everything tasted fresh. Something I've never seen before is the cheese came out melted on the plate: AMAZING concept and now I'll be a snob about it... cold shredded cheese for building fajitas is so 2014 now. I had the house marg and asked for the jalapeño infused tequila instead of the standard... omg. It's everything I've ever wanted in a marg. Service was so kind and fast. PLUS they genuinely cared about how you like your meal/drinks. Cafe Ole drops the mic in some of my all time favorite Mexican food! read more

Don't let the low starred reviews fool you. Those are more than 2 years old and the place is always busy. I'm new to Tulsa but have been to this place twice and love it! One of my favorite mexican restaurants in town. Be sure if you drink a margarita to get the top shelf one. It's worth the extra $$ and one of them does the trick! I also like the lite options versus the full and heavy meals too :) On the downfall, the patio is great but kind of small. You might have to wait a while to get onto the patio on a busy evening. read more

I have been frequenting Cafe Ole since I was a little girl. As I have grown up and my tastes have changed, I still find it Cafe Ole to be one of my top restaurants in the Tulsa area. The ambiance is fantastic. May I suggest sitting outside by the fireplace? Incredible. Their queso is phenomonal and Todd is right; the Stacked Blue Corn Enchiladas are as good as it gets. Also, I will share a little secret. They have THE BEST chocolate chip cookies I have EVER had. They normally sell out right after they make them, so get there early. My favorite spot on Brookside for sure. read more

Best queso in Tulsa! Great kids meal. Black current iced tea is so good! Service is always friendly.

Cafe Ole is so quaint and scrumptious. The waitstaff makes you feel like you are a part of their family. Seriously, you go a few times and they know you and what you like. For me that is the originally queso (in my opinion if you don't go original you aren't experiencing Cafe Ole) and a house marg with salt. I literally could be 100% satisfied with chips, queso and a marg. However, if you are going to do a full meal, consider this your warning--pace yourself of the chips and dips or you won't be able to put any of that delish meal away! Not only do I love the food and waitstaff, I also love the location. Cafe Ole is tucked away on brookside. They have the most adorable patio with heaters and a real fireplace--the only thing I wish they had were blankets so on a chilly day I could still enjoy the patio! read more

Man I think this place is great. Nice salads and soups, great patio with TVs and a fireplace. Wonderful margaritas and drinks. It's one of the top places I go for tex mex. Has a newer menu and had improved recently. read more

I went back with my parents a couple weeks ago as there have been changes at Cafe Ole.... and it was definitely noticeable! Salsa was great, margs were delicious and the food as a whole is MUCH better. Some friends picked up salsa, guac and chips from there just the other day for a party I had... nom! Definitely will be adding it back to my list of frequented restaurants. Great job guys! read more

Great job cafe ole you earned s customer back! read more

Food is good for the most part. But the service is beyond frustrating. Our server acted like we were annoying with every single request and we were not being high maintenance. Really disappointing for such a good spot. read more
