La Olla Mexican Cafe - Tucson

There food is always amazing. This is my favorite place to eat

Great food, very clean but limited hours. I love this place but wish they had longer hours on Friday and Saturday. Update 2024. Food is still good but their booths are completely worn out and one will need to be very careful where you sit to avoid injury or a chiropractor visit. It’s a shame because the prices are high enough to cover repairs as needed.

Four of us arrived around 4:00PM on a Monday in April, and it wasn’t too busy. Typical décor you would find in a Mexican restaurant. We were greeted quickly and taken to a table. A wait person quickly brought chips and salsa. We each ordered one of their house margaritas which were just ok. They could have used more tequila because it mainly tasted like lime mix. The waitress confused two of our orders. One of them was supposed to be enchiladas but ended up a burrito. The other was supposed to be one chicken enchilada and one cheese which ended up with 2 chicken enchiladas and one cheese (which we were charged for). We just ate what we got rather than make a big deal out of it because we were hungry! The servings are generous, and we all enjoyed our meals and the chips and salsa. The calabacitas were tasty and something new for us. Most of us took leftovers home. We would come again but trade the margaritas for beer – and make sure they got the order right!

The quest finding is ridiculously delicious. Staff is kind, margaritas are fantastic although a bit in the expensive side. La Olla is the spot I’m sending my out of town friends to when they ask (and they ALWAYS do), “Where should we go for great Mexican food?”

Heard about this place from a friend and we were not disappointed. Our waitress Shantel was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations the nachos appetizer was amazing just like she said and she gave us great service as well. The food was of course amazing we just had a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back.
