I brought my family of five here today and was so excited to try Peruvian food, but wasn't delighted. I'm not a stranger to spicy food, but this restaurant felt more like a chain restaurant than an actual authentic cuisine, and it left much for my heart to desire. Almost every meal and cocktail was 20+ dollars each, the meat wasn't flavorful and needed salsa to compensate for lack of flavor, the margaritas had no liquor in them, the rice tasted like it had vegetable oil on white rice and pieces of corn in it and had absolutely no taste, the portions were very small and my entire group left still hungry, and the only thing that I honestly enjoyed was the chips and salsas... We won't be returning, after this experience. We ordered: (2) orders of the chilies rellenos (which consisted of only one small Anaheim pepper), (1) order of the ceviche (it was extremely small and lackluster in terms of flavor... just ahi tuna, lemon juice, and some onion.... Honestly, it tasted the way that being sad feels. We had the taco salad, which was only had a few strip a of tostadas and was more lettuce than anything that resembled a taco, and the chicken tacos came cold with a giant clump of uncooked cheese in the middle. Most of it was left uneaten, because it was barely palatable. And lastly, we had (3) different margaritas, Berry, Passion Fruit, and red cactus or something to that effect and it was glorified juice with next to no tequila. I hope someone sees this and my review helps to save them a trip because it was overall high prices with extremely low quality cuisine. This food literally makes me never want to visit Peru and that is a very sad thing, because I live to travel. (total: $215.00 wasted). read more

Ready to move on from Hola. We've been to both locations a number of times. Have had better luck with the Eastside Hola, but I'll focus on the Old Mill Hola here. Came in just at the end of happy hour for dinner. We were greeted cheerily and seated quickly. The restaurant was only about a third full, but the service was rushed and anxious from that point forward. Ordered the lomo saltado and pollo de seco. Both had tough, hard meats (beef in the first, chicken in the second). Very small portions for almost $20 each. The saltado came with four slices of roast potato (fries) and rice on the side. The pollo was a stew with a dish of rice on the side. The sauces were just fine - not as flavorful as we'd experienced in the past. Frankly, Spork and El Sancho (food carts) knock Hola's food out of the water, for a fraction of the price. I expect to pay more in an actual restaurant with wait staff and overhead, but this is getting silly. After all the quick, perfunctory service during the meal, we waited for a long time with no presentation of the check. Finally went to the front to request the tab. Strange, given that there appeared to be plenty of staff for the amount of diners present. On the other hand - drinks here are always wonderful. Expensive, but tasty and plentiful. read more

I would never eat at the old mill location. My brother-in-law and his girlfriend where in town for the Memorial Day weekend and we decided to eat there. Not only was our server extremely rude and un-professional (white guy, bald head), it was never mentioned to us until after we ordered and waited 45 min for our food, that they ran out of food due to a busy day. The "scrapped-together/sloppy food" was awful (literally, tomato sauce for salsa dip), the service was god-awful, and when they told me that the reason rice was not on my plate was b/c they ran out, the bald headed server said "rice is cheap" and failed to discount the meal. I got the impression that they thought I was a tourist. I had to pay full price for a half meal. I really wouldn't have minded if they were straight up with me and said that they don't have some menu items due to lack of preparedness (Seriously, who runs out of food when everybody knows that the Old mill is a place for tourists??) I would suggest you go elsewhere unless you want to spend $18-a-plate on garbage. read more

"Mario the Mexican" absolutely makes this place AWESOME!!! He made us drinks that were personal to his history, treated us with complete respect, called us sir and ma'lady throughout our visit, made us homemade guacamole at our table and laughed with us and shared stories of his home in Mexico. He absolutely made the experience one we will remember for a very long time. thank you Mario for being extraordinary!! When you go to Hola! in the Old Mill District, ask for "Mario the Mexican"!! read more

The restaurant had an efficient and prompt service, but there are several areas for improvement. The food quality did not meet expectations and arrived cold, which detracted from the overall dining experience. The ambiance, while aiming for a low-lit, cozy feel, felt overly dim and the seating was somewhat cramped, limiting comfort. Additionally, the pricing did not align with the taste, warmth, or presentation, which were below what would be expected at this price point. read more

Mojitos, margueritas, chips galore. Friendly attentive service. A tip, come and order for takeout too and sit at the bar to wait until it's prepared. All the locations of this place are just as good. If you like Mexican food but want some variation, this place is Mexican food on steroids. Meat dishes have that high quality that tells you they're not skimping on what they put into it. It has an air of fine dining about it, gourmets will feel at home here. read more

A large group of us (16) went to Hola in the Old Mill on our way to see Bad Moms. Our server, Mario was absolutely phenomenal! He made our dining experience so so fun! We all had a great time. The food was on point, as always and the drinks were even better. Mario was so accommodating and awesome, he made sure we all got to the movie on time. Would highly recommend this restaurant! Mario for president!!!! read more

Good food, good drinks, very friendly folks, but my god are they slow and disorganized. They will say they have a 5 minute wait and you wind up waiting for 45 or more minutes and then nobody comes to take your order for another hour. It's crazy bad like that. Even when it's slow, it doesn't seem to matter. I've been there probably half a dozen times and it's always the same story. read more

been in here a few times, usually after a movie. have tried some of the peruvian fare as well as the mexican. have yet to receive food that i want to share with anyone. it's very underflavored and sometimes just plain not good. sooooo, won't be going back for food anytime. the margaritas however are always good and i will be going back for some of them. read more

went in with a friend recently and had a very average or even below average meal. upon walking in, everyone is Hi! and Welcome! but once you're seated, good luck getting any service. i did enjoy the Cadillac margarita, quite nice. But I don't think i'll go back for dinner again....there's so many other good places in town. read more

hanging around at the old mill for winter fest and stopped in for lunch never had peruvian food before, but think its quite tasty need to sample a few more things, seems to be a little spanish, but waqs presented well and hot, enjoyed this little place even though its mall atmosphere. ill go back read more

I would not waste my time here. The food is expensive and the wait staff are terriable. For a lot cheaper price you can find the same genre of food with a lot better taste. Maybe the other restruants with this name are better, but i highly doubt it. I should have read yelp first! read more

I recently visited Hola and found the service to be very fast and the waiters to be very friendly. The food was a bit bland, but the salsa and chips were really good. The portions were decent, but the chicken was a bit plain and unseasoned. All in all, it was a decent experience. read more

Food was just fair and the service terrible. We waited for our food for a very long time, was kind of wondering if the waiter had quit on us. Would not recommend this place at all. read more

Gross, french fries and mushrooms were the only thing in my veggie burrito. I will never go back.

Boring tasteless food... move on nothing to see here ... over priced old mill food ..
