I've tried just about everything on the menu and it is delicious. They have a special oven that cooks things quickly and can be made healthy.

Although the food left a little to be desired, the atmosphere was great! Live music and fun times...definitely a party atmosphere!

But unless you have more than 3-4 people, you only want the 1/2 order. Great space, outdoor seating right in all the beachfront action. Live music and friendly wait staff.

Seasoning in beef tacos tasted like packaged from grocery store. Salsa was the same... nothing special. Not much kick to regular or pineapple mango salsa. It was nice to eat outside and drinks were decent.

Food was good , guacamole side oder at $2.00 for a sample cup portion a bit high. Need a Mexican cook if you want a Mexican flair , salsa tasted like barbecue sauce rather then salsa.

We just happened upon this place one day when we were at the beach. Food and drinks were great. Our waitress was wonderful. Most of the seating is outside with umbrellas, but the bar area is covered. Had live entertainment all 3 times we were there. Great place!

A good friend of mine recomended La Ola. I was a little burnt out on fried food from the bars and fish places, so Mexican sounded good. Wow was it ever. The menu has all the traditional offerings. I tried the Bubba Gump shrimp burrito. The burrito was huge and delicious. I topped it off with an ice cold Dos... More

We like to go here as a family after a couple of hours on the beach. Ordered the ladybird, which has 2 chicken hard or soft shell taco with lime flavored chicken. Very good., The burritos here are chipolte style so plenty big. Burritos are $10 which you can split and the the tacos we ordered were $7. Tap beer... More
