I'll have to say I had a good time at Olo Restobar in Downey. I never been to this location, but I heard all the hype about it and how fun it was and it's definitely true. My family always goes to the one in Covina and I have yet to try Ola but this past Saturday I had the pleasure to try it, and it was no disappointment. The customer service is exceptional, and everyone wants to enter it. Very nice and welcoming. We had a lot of servers and they was recommending things that we should get off the menu. Does it was my first time I had a lot of questions about the menu since they had a lot of variety of food to choose from and drinks. I decided to order the guacamole and the four taco platter plate. The guacamole was very delicious and the taco was very delicious and I like how they put cheese inside of the tortillas which made it even more delicious. I actually wanted to order more tacos, but I had to be good and watch what I was eating. The drinks are very good as well. I ordered the lemon drop and passion margarita. They make sure they get the drinks right for you. The vibe was definitely on point! The ambiance was fun with good music playing the entire time. It gets crowded on the weekends and more busier around 9p.m. They also have plenty tv's to watch sports. They have brunch and they have a dj so I recommend you come try the brunch. I heard it's poppin' this is why I will be back to see how it is. Plenty of parking on the streets and parking structures to park. -Marshay D. read more

I definitely feel like the sanitizing is questionable here.. we received our flight of Mexican candy shots on this soaking wet board that looked old and SMELLED like mildew.. it was hard to even want to drink. Even then the shots were hot, not even chilled so it was just not enjoyable.. for the price of the drinks here I don't think it's worth it.. We stood up from our table and went to the bar to order a shot and even the rags that the bartender wiped down smelled like mildew, just not pleasing when you're trying to catch a buzz. BUT they did play good music... overall, not sure if I'll try again. read more

Bruhhhh, come on $16 for Tito's and vodka???? These kind of places are getting out of hand... People if you like getting scammed then come here. I regret getting out of the house and having a couple of drinks. I rather go buy a couple of bottles and inviting friends over which is more fun then having to over spend in a place that's not all that. I could name lots of other places where the drinks are not over priced and they are not bad smelling.. I'm glad I didn't try the food cause I could only imagine how over priced that would be. Anyways first and last time I come here.. read more

Service was slow and several mistake orders were brought to our table. Food was not warm and drink orders were delayed. It was very warm and crowded. Would not recommend for the food. read more

From the moment we walked in, the techno music set an energetic vibe for the day. What immediately caught my eye were the menus with pictures - a genius idea for a visual person like me! It made ordering so much easier and more exciting than just guessing. The service was immaculate, thanks to Gernardo. He was incredibly patient, helping us navigate the drink and food options, and he clearly knew his stuff when answering my questions. Since it was Taco Tuesday, I ordered four carne asada and four chicken tacos, plus two extra on the side, along with an Ulta beer. The tacos were so good, I devoured them too quickly for a photo! But trust me, the tacos were delicious and the service was even better. With great music and a comfortable crowd, I highly recommend this spot. Five stars! read more

The place was a little loud for conversation. The service took a little long and our drinks were not kept up. The food was delicious.

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

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

This place serves excellent food and the service was amazing. I will definitely comeback and I might be a regular too in a couple a months

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

Service was too slow they kept forgetting about our order there was only one server for like 20 people they over charge we try to get Mexican shots the lady said is 16 for 3 end up charging 73 dollars and brought 4 shots 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

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

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

Great ambiance and service. Alejandra R was so kind and had great energy! If you go and happen to get serve by her please tip her well as she will always do her absolute best! 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

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

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

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

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

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

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
