“Good oysters, and Shirmp Cocktail!!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 24, 2012

I have been going to this place for years, and every time I go back to El Salvador I make time to go there and have some good and fresh cocktails, and they still are good, it is seafood so I like to eat it in a safe place, and this is one.

“Exellent Sea Food restaurant!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2012

Casual atmosphere. Exellent raw and cooked sea food. Family oriented restaurant during the day and afternoon. Not recommended for children after dark, since it gets packed with locals in a sort of bar atmosphere.

“forget the decoration, enjoy the food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2011

"Agh, kitsch decoration! what can I expect from the food in this place?, but it's so highly recomended!!"! That was my first impression.A strange restaurant/bar with a terrace,full of local young bussiness people and some foreigners ; where you can enjoy drinks and amazing food. You can eat seafood, meat, pasta, ceviches,pizza, japanese food etc, etc, etc. Everytime I go to San Salvador, I try to go; this time I order an Octopus Guashimi (its like a Sashimi) worth the visit!!!!

“Prepare to wait for 2 hours to eat”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed September 13, 2011

We went to La Hola in the Costa del Sol and the food is ok but they serve you less than they do in the other locations and they charge you more! We had to get up to get our own napkins and asking for a drink was a headache. From the time we ordered it took 2 hours to be served the food! It's nice to eat on the beach but they obviously have no one who cleans because there was dirty napkins and other trash all over the place. When we complained about the service the manager didn't even pretend to offer an appology, he just stared at us like we were nuts. Never going there again! It was the first and LAST time.

“Extensive menu in this Zona Rosa eating place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 29, 2010

La Hola has an extensive menu from pizza to lobster, with lots of Salvadoran specialties, especially seafood. Nice outside dining and a prime location. Pricey for San Salvador, but consistent with what you would pay in the US
