Absolutely phenomenal! The food was scrumptious, bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and served in generous portions. We enjoyed the ceviche tostadas, caldo de camarón, potato taquitos, café de olla, and Mexicafé. Every dish exceeded our expectations. The best part of our visit was Molly! She delivered exceptional customer service, friendly, attentive, charismatic, and genuinely caring. She made wonderful recommendations, anticipated our needs, and made us feel truly welcomed. Molly elevated an already amazing dining experience into an unforgettable one. If you visit Ola Restobar, ask for Molly. You'll be glad you did! We can't wait to come back with family and friends. read more

The experience at Ola was extremely disappointing, and the biggest reason was the poor management by Jorge. When we arrived, the line was already very long. Jorge came outside multiple times, clearly saw how many people were waiting, and even recorded the crowd on his phone three different times for social media. Knowing the capacity of the restaurant, he could have easily informed everyone that the remaining people in line would likely not get in. Instead, we waited over three hours with no communication. While we were waiting, I repeatedly watched people call Jorge. He would come outside, greet them, and bring them straight inside. I personally saw this happen at least six different times. When it was finally our turn to speak with the host, we were told there were no seats left, that we would have to stand, and that we wouldn't even be able to order food. I confronted Jorge about letting those other groups in ahead of everyone else. His response was that he knew them personally and that they were friends of the restaurant owners. That explanation only made the situation worse. My wife had just finished a 14-hour hospital shift, and we came here hoping to enjoy the game together. Instead, we spent three hours waiting only to be treated as though our time didn't matter. What was most shocking was Jorge's attitude. He literally told me, "They won't do anything to me if you post this. I'm friends with the owner." If that's the mindset of management, it's no surprise customers are treated this way. It truly felt like only friends and family received special treatment while everyone else was left waiting without honesty or respect. I have no issue waiting when things are busy, but I do expect transparency, fairness, and professionalism. Unfortunately, this experience showed none of those qualities. read more

We've been here multiple times and each time it's been okay, but yesterday was just ridiculous. Yesterday we went in specifically to get a small bite and to have a mimosa flight. It was noon. The host brought us to a table and asked "is a high top okay?" and we said oh can we have a regular table. He rolled his eyes and brought us to a different table... okay?? As soon as we sat down we noticed the table was very sticky and asked for water because of how hot it was outside. We ordered and received the mimosa flight maybe ten fifteen minutes later and asked for water once again. We decider to not order food. Some time passed by again with no waiters around and no one checking up on us, we called someone and asked once again for some water. We had to ask three separate times before they finally brought over the water, and by the time we got them we were frustrated with our experience and asked for the check and left. read more

Ate here in Covina and it had a great menu. The taquitos were good but the burrito was not the greatest. Seams like they used yesterday's asada. Service was first poor and then they had a shift change and it continued to be bad. Asked for ice tea and it took forever. Meal was done before 1st refill. She asked if wanted lemon and we said no, then she brought extra lemons. Kinda funny. Had to ask for extra plates and silverware 2xs. Don't think I would be back read more

Best service I've had sitting at a bar in a while. Alexis was so attentive! Ok with our questions about drinks and food. Wasn't frustrated when we asked a few more he he. The manager Geo went above and beyond as well! He made himself visible during busy happy hour time, and asked how we were doing, that's going the extra mile! My husband and I will definitely be back.

Nice big parking lot around the area, and when we came around 9:30 AM there were still a few prime spots right in front--always a good start! Right away, the vibe was giving outdoor patio but with cozy indoor energy. Super clean inside and out, and the staff was really friendly. Our waitress this morning--her name was "B"--was the sweetest. Super kind, always checking in on us and making sure we were good. If you're like me and super indecisive, I usually stalk the menu the night before. But this menu was HUGE--pages and pages. I flipped straight to the brunch section in the back (three full pages!) and landed on the Supreme Skillet: potatoes, over-easy eggs, bell peppers, ham, and sausage. It came with three tortillas of your choice--I picked corn. Taste-wise, it was good, but I wish there were bigger and more pieces of meat. Compared to other skillets I've had, this one was a little light on the protein. It was $17.99. I'd rate it a 6.5/10, but with the refried beans on the side, it bumped up to a 6.9/10. My bestie ordered the Combo Benedict with French toast sticks, and honestly...the French toast sticks were the star. Super crispy, fluffy inside, and perfect with syrup. We also got the mimosa flight--mango, strawberry, and peach. All were tasty, super cute, and very Instagram-worthy. I can totally see this place popping at night with music and drinks. That said, even in the morning with only one other couple next to us, the music was pretty loud--it was kinda hard to talk during our brunch, literally had to look at besties lips to know what she's saying. I can't even imagine nighttime volume, lol. Overall: Ambience: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 3.5/5 Definitely a fun spot to try, especially if it's your first time! But def plenty better brunch food out there! Happy eats! read more

OLA Restobar...Where the server hustles harder than the DJ! Came in after partaking in the Christmas parade with my husband, still buzzing from the floats and ready for food and drinks. The place had the perfect post-parade vibe: not packed, super chill, and the DJ was on a wild (but awesome) journey. He played old-school reggaeton, hip-hop, 80s throwbacks, banda, corridos... basically a musical piñata. Then there was Arturo (pretty sure that's what the name tag said). This man is a national treasure and an absolute MENACE (in the best way possible). I barely grazed the drink menu twice and POOF!! He materialized like a cocktail genie asking if I needed another round. His radar for empty glasses should be studied by NASA. I watched him zoom around the room subtly pointing at people's drinks like, "Hey! Your glass is looking a little lonely." He even stopped to help two girlfriends who were either attempting to take selfies, or simply asked him, or he could have offered. Dude's energy and permanent smile could power the whole block. Funniest, fastest, friendliest service we've ever had. Arturo, if you're reading this, (or your boss) you need to be given a raise, a cape, or both. Now, foodwise: Drinks? On point. Carajillo and Aperol Spritz were perfect. Food? Delicious. Queso fundido with shrimp disappeared in record time. My enchiladas de camarón were fantastic, and husband demolished the aguachile divorciados. Only tiny nitpick: the sauce on my enchiladas tasted too much like oregano to me. Everything else? Wonderful. read more

Paring is available within walking distance. I've only been here twice and neither time was I impressed with their drinks or food; ceviche de camaron or beef burrito. It's a decent location to grab a beer and watch a game. Service is good but this place can get pretty busy on the weekends. read more

I have been coming here for a little over a year. My friend and I like to come here to grab some food before we enjoy some nightlife in Covina. I always get the tour of the sea shrimp taco plate. It's $18 for four tacos. The tacos are good but I come back for the vibe. It's a good place to start the night. The music is ok but no one is ever on the dance floor. So we usually just eat then leave. They do have an extensive drink list. I gave tried the espresso martini and the lychee martini but I wouldn't recommend either one at all. The beer is ice cold and the service is somewhat slow but not terrible. Very polite and respectful, but I waited 20 minutes for the check to come last night. We can move a little better than that. A good place to start the night or watch a game. I would recommend coming in a Sunday at brunch time. read more

OLA Restobar - The bar - New American Near Me - Covina, California

I went in on a Tuesday for the taco Tuesday deals, the game and the happy hour drinks. The food was what it was. The tacos didn't come with cilantro or onion. The ceviche was room temp and had a fishy taste instead of lemon or seasoning. The drinks were basically juice so you're better off just drinking beer. The music was so loud you had to shout just to be heard. I guess it's a cool and safe place for people in their early twenties. Glad I experienced it. read more

Thanks to Erica at the bar I had suck a great time! A lot of TVs, Sound and music is good. And even though I wanted a regular consume (I should have read the menu) this shrimp and fish soup had great flavor plus on lunch it came with a Margarita. My friend had the taco plate and it was a lunch special with a Beer. I definitely will be returning to the place especially if Erica is working at the Bar or floor! read more

OLA is located off Citrus Ave and parking is available all over but can be challenging during prime time hours. I appreciate that there's indoor and outdoor seating. There's plenty of seating and they offer TV for entertainment. It's suitable for all crowds. The music is a bit too loud for my preference. Customer service was accommodating. She made her recs which I appreciated. Portions are plenty and food had a ton of flavor. read more

Came out on an early Saturday night. We just wanted to try out some aguachiles but experienced more than that. Music was loud, I would recommend some hearing protection for anyone. Please take care of your ears. Ample space for dancing and drinking. Our server was fine. The octopus was a bit chewy, the flavor of our dishes were good. We just wouldn't pay for the price again. Plenty of parking spots nearby. read more

Such a fun place for date night. And it won't break the bank either. We ordered so much food for just us two, and we had so many leftovers.

I had such a great experience at Ola Restobar in West Covina, and a huge part of that was our bartender Cindy! From the moment we sat down, they were welcoming, attentive, and had such a positive vibe. You can tell they really know their craft -- the drinks were perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and came out fast even when it was busy. They made great recommendations and checked in just the right amount without being overbearing. The energy behind the bar really set the tone for the whole night. If you're going to Ola, definitely sit at the bar -- you won't be disappointed! read more

If you want your ears to bleed and lose your hearing this is the place to go. Walked in to six beefy Covina cops that must have just cleared out the place. Asked for a table that isn't so loud and were told it's as loud in the entire restaurant. Sat and no one approached us at all. Not even for water. Meanwhile the music was damaging our hearing my the second. After about 7 minutes we left and finally regained hearing by the time we walked to another establishment. No thanks. Won't be back. Music wasn't even good and I like all music. read more

My Bestie and I enjoyed happy hour here. Considering there wasn't many people at the time we arrived. I feel like we waited too much to get any service. I will say I think they were doing a shift change. We placed our order for I was AguaChiles and their taco Tuesday special. The chef made our food deliciously. I will say they added Chamoy and Tajin to our Glass of Michelob ultra. After we finished our food, we realized how packed it was for a Tuesday. Maybe it was the Dodgers game. Overall music was great and I will be checking this place out on the weekend. read more

Ola Restobar is a great place to have drinks and eat with friends! It's more of a sports bar and they sometimes have a DJ depending on the day. Fair warning it is really loud in here with the DJ so if that's your vibe this place is perfect! That's why I love coming here with friends just to hangout and drink. Their service is always great here. My recent visit I think one of the managers was helping us by always checking in which was nice. The drinks and food are decent. I do feel their cocktails are watered down.... The drinks are not strong at all and sometimes I feel I don't taste the alcohol. So I do only drink beers or seltzers when I go here just because of that. read more

Visited this establishment twice. Once for brunch and another time during dinner. I sat in the patio seating both times. When calling for reservations, you'd have to call multiple times or they won't pick up. Their service over the phone is very "straight to the point" and their staff will tell you different things. I had made a reservation for party of 10 for brunch and requested to be seated in the patio area since the patio area was very beautiful. We all came on time and waited an additional 20 minutes for the patio "to be set up". It was only us and three other tables at the time. Drinks came out about 15 minutes before the food (which is fine as there were 10 of us). Food was delicious. However, service started to slow down after we ordered our initial food and drinks. One person's food came out 10 minutes after everyone else's. We ordered additional drinks which didn't come out after another 20 minutes. However we were approached 2 different times asking how we're going to pay (even though we were still order/waiting on our food/drinks). There IS a 2 hour time limit, but our time there wasn't even 1 hour in when they started asking us how we were paying. Came here a second time with my husband for dinner. It is a completely different vibe with a dance floor inside (not a complaint). It was fun to see the difference with the dance floor as well as music videos playing on the tv screens. Host asked if we wanted to be seated inside or in the patio for a slightly more quieter time. We requested patio, but were seated inside by the dance floor. We realized it might've been a mistake and was moved to the patio. There are doors to the patio that would be kept shut most of the time to avoid the music from coming out. However, the servers would leave the door open and it was as if we were seated next to the dance floor anyway. We ordered some food, some cocktails, and a soda. Alcohol came first. Then the food. My soda didn't come until we were halfway through finishing our food. we couldn't flag anyone down as no one would come out to check on us until someone was seated, and the servers told us to request it with our waitress. Overall, the food and drinks are good. However the service is what kills the experience for me. Whether it was on the phone, waiting on our food/drinks, and even ordering additional food/drinks, it was a pain to get anyone's attention. If you got someone's attention, they'd either acknowledge it and walk away without putting the order in, or tell you to request it with the waitress. read more

Decided to come here for Cinco de Mayo this past weekend, which was a good decision to make. We did not have reservations when we arrived around 5 PM and only had to wait around 10 minutes for a group of seven people, which is not bad at all usually on Cinco de Mayo it's a long wait. This is my first time at the Covina location. I have been to the Downey location before but this location I definitely recommend I love the outside is spacious and bigger and very live with the really good DJ. good times and the decor was so cute inside. One of my best Cinco de Mayo celebrations, and a very long time I had so much fun I couldn't stop dancing. The service was exceptional and the management was good as well! Nonetheless, the food was good as always. I ordered the Carnitas tacos and guacamole which was very tasty. For my drink I just ordered a skinny Cadillac margarita and we got a Casamigos for the bottle service for our table which was only $260. The prices here are really reasonable and they even had deals for Cinco de Mayo with five dollar beers and five dollar margaritas , so I do recommend to come here if you want to celebrate and to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. This is a turn up spot for sure! It is also the spot if you wanna have a good time with your girls, family, and a good hangout spot with good drinks and food. It's plenty parking on the street, and it is located in old town/ downtown area of Covina. Overall, my experience was top-notch. I had a great time, and the others in my party enjoyed themselves as well. I would definitely be coming back to this location again. -Marshay D. read more
