Another good food stop is Ole-Ole, tucked away on Loreta #66. The place is full of bullfighting memorabilia, including mounted bullheads – some that looked real and some not. During the Semana Santa, they had a very imposing display of Christ surrounded by dried flowers, oranges, and purple drapes at the entrance of the restaurant.
The rest of the place is very colourful, though, with bright orange and yellow walls and tablecloths. It’s nicer to sit at the back of the restaurant, where long skylights give the feel of an open courtyard when compared to the darker area at the front.
The quality and quantity of the food may have explained why the place was full of Americans when we visited. Four chicken fajitas, four margaritas, and two lemonades ran at about 400ps for four people (although it could have easily fed six).
We also spotted some huge kebabs coming out of the kitchen, and had we gone back, I would have definitely ordered one of their shrimp or chicken kebabs.
The complimentary chips and salsa were especially good, with a very spicy green salsa; a milder, smoky brown salsa; and a serving of sour cream.
