    A nice and cozy place to stop by and relax. You could have tasty and quite big portions Mexican dishes (comparing to normal Thai dishes). The drink is perfect for hot and humid day in Bangkok. Their service made my day. I really recommended this place for hangout with folks after work or family dinner during weekends.

    Below Average and slow. Unfortunately the atmosphere was nice but the food was super slow and not that good for Mexican food. Might be great for hang out and dink but definitely not for sitting and dining. Service was good and plenty of parking along the side of the road. Would give it a 2.7

    OMG, super tasty and creative Thai style tapas and cocktails! Also a very nice selection of local beers. Nancy, who manages the place is super friendly and nice to chat with. We stayed in over of the Airbnbs directly upstairs and was delighted to find out this place was so close. We ended up trying most of the food and cocktails and everything was delicious. Notable tapas were the green curry beef tapas which were perfectly medium rare slices of delicious beef on crispy and chewy fried bread (like Native American fry bread) with Thai sauces and chili garnish. The tacos and nachos were REALLY good. Both crunchy shell and soft taco options were great. Spicy shrimp and Thai pad krapao chicken options were our favorites. The beef on the nachos is shredded and nicely spiced but not too spicy hot. Favorite drinks included the Makham Margarita made with spicy tamarind vodka, tequila and lime juice, the 4'o Clock Somewhere made with gin, Earl grey tea and sprite, and Mae's Thai Tea with fresh Thai tea brewed to order, vodka, vanilla liquor, condensed milk and whipped cream. Definitely worth visiting this place while you're in Bangkok.

    A very cute restaurant with lovely service and good food. The girls that were working here greet you with a great smile. They are super attentive and nice. The decoration is also very cute. The place is small. So better book in advance. It will be difficult for bigger groups. It’s very cosy. The food is good. A nice mix of Mediterranean-Thai-Mexican favorites. They have different sections on the menu but it’s basically all for sharing. Prices are very reasonable.

    🌮🌯🍹 I found this restaurant on google map when I was desperated to decide what to eat, but it turned out to be very nice. 🧑‍💼👩‍🔬🧑‍🍳 A warm welcome with great service from the owners made me feel like I was having dinner at the restaurant in 4-5 stars hotel. It was quite small restaurant, but good atmosphere. The food was nice. I ordered Nachos with guacamole and cheese, pork barbeque, chicken quesadilla and a couple of cocktails. **but please note that their Mexican food was a kind of fusion Mexican. I'd love to come back again. That's for sure.

    Nice interior and friendly staff. The Mexican food is also good and the creative dish combining Thai and Mexican is interesting. They have Thai craft beers, house wine, and many choice of spirits.

    Hidden gem in the old town area. As a local in this area, this restaurant is quite random to be in this neighborhood. Frankly speaking, most non-Thai restaurants in this area are tourist traps but Ola is not the case. The Mexican food is quite authentic and tasty. Generous portion and value for money. The place is cozy and more appropriate for drinking than dinning proper food. Service is good too.

    Food was excellent, not sure the PadKraw Pao tacos really work but they were decent. Very cute little bar with games and darts, food was very good overall and good portion sizing. Would recommend!

    Found this cute little tapas place after visiting the grand palace, would highly recommend if you are in the area. Quaint and intimate atmosphere with excellent food and great service. I was also pleasantly surprised to see one of my favourite ciders from England: Thatchers Rose. I also found the welfare facilities to be clean and of a high standard compared to a lot of other bars and restaurants within Bangkok. If you want a quick bite to eat and good drinks (alcoholic/ non) after visiting the palace this is the perfect place. The cocktails were delicious 😋 and they had a swing chair in the back which was giving me beach vibes 🏖️ they also had games to play such as uno and a small dart board

    Had been hearing about this place months so finally decided to try it and it was totally worth the wait. In fact I wish I had come sooner. owners are super nice and friendly. Great smiles and positive energy. The space is a bit small but cute. If there’s no crowd, it’s perfect for a quiet meal and drinks. Beef quesadilla and kapao tacos were so so good! They also made me try local spirits that really give a kick. Cocktails are great as well and well-priced.

    Great cocktails and food. The service is great and the atosmosphere is really nice. They have few tables, so better to come early or making a reservation. It seems to be the only place for food and drinks open after 6 PM in the area. Definitely recommended!

    Tasty food and drinks, nice oldies music and reasonable price.

  • 5/5 Shannon B. 2 years ago on Google
    We just stopped by for a snack and a drink, but the managers - Dashel and Nancy - were super kind. Very close (8 minute walk) from Wat Pho - if you're in the area, give them a visit! My partner was very happy to discover that they had Maker's Mark at the bar, and their nachos and guacamole were delicious. Hip spot with enough seats for about 10 people downstairs and a few more upstairs.

  • 5/5 Mike Krause M. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic little place on Charoenkrung Road with warm, welcoming hosts. A normal looking cafe on the outside, the culinary deliciousness that awaits lies within. I had an enjoyable conversation with one of the partners Dtoy while having a super unique and absorbingly flavorful tapas style take on the classic Thai dish pat gaprao gai that was prepared by his partner in the operation; it was incredibly good! The lychee Italian soda to wash it down with was also easily the best, most finely blended combination of sweetness and spritelyness in an Italian soda I’ve ever had; the succulent, perfectly ripe lychees were the icing on the cake. Glad I went in and will also be telling my local Bangkok crew about it (spotted it on Google Maps while visiting town on my regular winter break). Definitely add it to your hit list if either living or passing through Bangkok; a true cut above the norm (which is already very good here).

  • 5/5 Summer H. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is the best Thai Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been. The food was sooooo good! Last night we came here ordered Garlic Shrimp, chicken and beef quesadillas, Chicken and beef tacos, Mexican French fries… everything was delicious. So we back to this restaurant today again. Because we are going to leave Bangkok this afternoon, we don’t know when we’ll be back, so decided have lunch here. It’s worth it to come to Bangkok for the food. We all love it!

  • 5/5 Ethan G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place! Met the owner and his wife and had a great chat. I’ve been here a few times now and it was always fun with other people in there that were friendly to chat with too. Just a hidden gem for those looking to get a drink and a bite to eat. They also have rooms for rent upstairs.

  • 5/5 Inash A. 1 year ago on Google
    love love love!! The hostess was so nice and cheerful and and had really good English. The place had a cool rustic vibe. and the food oh my gosh. Do yourself a favor and try the Thai fusion tapas. It was amaaaazing. Highly highly recommend. One of my favorite food experiences in Bangkok.

  • 5/5 Victoria R. 1 year ago on Google
    We stopped here for some lunch and drinks after seeing it on the map. We’re so pleased we did, the chilled vibes of the music and atmosphere were such a relief from the hustle and bustle outside. The drinks were amazing, especially the White Sangria and the food was incredible too. We felt so looked after even though all of the tables were full and the bar seats too! What a gem of a place!

  • 5/5 natascha l. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cozy and warm. The service was in top. A very sweet and invested manager. Definitely coming back 😎

  • 5/5 Teepob H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Tapas restaurant, it was Mexican and a little bit of Thai mixture. Most food taste so good, but when we join there were barely available desk so we have long wait on the order but they are generous to give some discount off the food though. 🛖 Mexican style decoration there were about 4 small desk with counter bar. 🚗 Parking nearby the park (300m walk). 🍕 Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quesadilla beef ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spicy Shrimp Tacos ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nachos cheese beef ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terriyaki Chicken Tapas ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fajitas beer 🧁Drinks & sweet ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Churros ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mojito

  • 5/5 Kurt Y. 10 months ago on Google

👍👍 We waited for 3hrs after arriving at 9:30am, and finally eat our food at 12:30. I suggest to arrive before the shop opens, maybe around 8-8:30am.
