La olita — Restaurant in Oaxaca

Amazing! Came here based on the Google reviews and was not disappointed! The ambiance of the space is very enjoyable, with seating both inside and outside (alongside the busy street) - which is sometimes a rare find if you go into the smaller quarters of Zicatela.

It is a nice atmosphere , but for us it...

After a few minutes I was told it might take 15 min. since they'd just opened. I felt that was somewhat reasonable. After about 15 min I was told that the oil wasn't hot and the grilled tacos would be faster. So I conceded to have those. 15 min later I got the grilled "fish" tacos. For the life of me I can't understand putting so much broccoli and cauliflower on a fish taco. Tons of veggies, hardly any fish. Broccoli is not a flavor I'd want on a fish taco. The guests next to me got tempura tacos right after mine..they looked really good. So I bet they are great. I just don't recommend the...
