Ole vs. 2.0

Ole Mexican Grill is one of the best restaurants in our neighborhood.  Olecito, it's burrito place across the street, has some of the best burritos in the city.  So when I heard that Ole had been sold and Olecito was moving across the street into the main restaurant I had a small panic attack.  After a short renovation, Ole opened back up and we had to check it out to make sure all was right in our Mexican food world.

Thankfully, this experiment seems to have worked out quite nicely.  The new owners kept the big bar in the front room along with most of the tables.  They took down the wall that separated the front room from the kitchen and put the burrito bar there.  The back dining room is the same, complete with it's beautiful fireplace.  The new setup allows you to get burritos and tacos and sit at the bar or any of the tables in the front room.  You can also order from the dinner menu at the bar.  The only con is the lack of cocktails at the bar, it's pretty much all tequila.  Not a bad thing, but they did use to have some excellent craft cocktails which are missed!  JO and I enjoyed our Friday night fiesta and will definitely be back quite often!
