Great food, drinks, and service. Very reasonably priced. I had the Olla Parriada and really enjoyed it. I had a margarita, mojito, and Cuba libre, all delicious. I asked for a hotter sauce and they brought out this little goblet of salsa. It was really flavorful and went great with the meal, but it was $4. Definitely recommend and want to visit again to try some of the other menu items.

Cute place- they definitely should get a bigger location because their food is amazing and they deserve to have their restaurant full! Wonderful service and amazing food. Ran out of the tequila we wanted but definitely have a lot more options than other places. They are also one of the few that will make a pineapple margarita.

I had a fantastic experience at Olla Bar! The Latin-inspired food was absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic flavors. The customer service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Plus, the prices are very reasonable, making it a great spot to enjoy a tasty meal without breaking the bank. Highly recommend!

Great selection of foods from multiple Latin American countries. Arguably the best in Latin restaurant in Stafford.

Came in for lunch and welcomed to plenty of seating and wide selection of table seating sizes and the small bar; Latin music, and 3x wall TVs. Service was friendly, informative, and fast. Had the Calamari and Pupusas. The Calamari was just the right bite sizes, sprinkled with peppers (personally would’ve liked a lemon in there as well but the salsa was good). The Pupusas are deceptively very filling (there was ~6+ filling types), and will fill you up. Will definitely come again l, and I’ll try their recommended Biria Tacos.

[Edit] Came back and tried the Biria Tacos, and I don’t know why I didn’t come back sooner. They’re Biria meat filled, with a melted cheese and soft taco that is surprisingly solid and holds together. The Biria consume was a well seasoned delight and isn’t salty like others I’ve had around the world (you can drink it straight if you’d like).

Overall this was a great experience. I got the birria tacos and they were some of my favorite. The sunset margarita was really tasty. I also got their homemade chips and salsa, queso and was very surprised how fresh and crispy the chips were. I sat at the bar and had great service.

Wow!!! and wow again!!! This is a fantastic restaurant. It is small and unassuming, but let me tell you, they deliver! Every dish was simply delicious. The atmosphere is casual and the service is friendly and effective. Don’t think twice about trying this restaurant if you are in the area. It is a must! I would call it a hidden jewel… though with more than 400 reviews at this time, I don’t think it is that hidden anymore…

I hate to write this review in fear that it will be harder to get in 🙂 They need a bigger footprint to hold more diners.

100% my favorite new place. Just wonderful flavors and choices on a limited menu with daily specials. We’ve gone three days in a row just to ensure the first visit wasn’t a fluke.

Thank you to the owners and the staff, we enjoyed every single item and we couldn’t stop talking about our meals. The filet I had on Saturday was literally one of the best steaks I’ve had in years.

Seating based upon group size is a challenge. We’ve finally given up on this place as it’s too hard to know if you can get a seat because they save larger tables at the expensive of deferring giving them to a couple. I actually get it, but if you’re in this situation consider tables that can be stacked together or broken apart…or scale to a larger location. Best wishes, we did enjoy the food.

Just back from constant eating out in Naples Florida. All the restaurants there rated 4.7 and higher with many hundreds of reviews. Without exception Olla’s was twice as good and half the price. Best burger joint in Naples couldn’t hold a candle to Olla’s burger. Fresh gulf shrimp was nothing when compared to chef Joachim’s Gambas al Ajillo. Don’t miss this out on this place.

Amazing food at this little hidden gem. The food is consistently delicious, and the incredibly friendly staff told us that this is because the owners are the only chefs who work the kitchen.

We order the birria tacos every time and they have never let us down. We’ve even ordered them without the beef for my vegetarian friend and still were delicious. Not sure if they do anything special with their tortilla chips, but they are amazing and worth the trip on their own as well.

Food and drinks are reasonably priced, with a full bar.

UPDATE March 2026 –
We have visited many times over the years, and each experience has been consistently positive. The service is reliable, and the food is excellent. The menu is updated regularly, reflecting seasonal availability and evolving flavors.
During our most recent visit, we tried the wings, which were well-seasoned and flavorful, as well as the quesadillas, which were substantial and well-prepared. We look forward to returning and consider this one of the best pan‑Latin restaurants in Northern Virginia.

Been coming here for over a year for lunch (would definitely come for dinner – it’s just that amazing!) and have enjoyed each visit! The menu is pan-South American with food from different countries and I’m typically not impressed with places that do more than ne style of food, but I’m amazed as how great the food is here!

Each visit the food has been excellent, flavorful, and is always served up fresh – made to order!!

Most recently I tried their Lomo Saltado and while it wasn’t necessarily “traditional” in its preparation, it was very tasty and made with hi-quality beef!!

Their chips are always an excellent way to start and their guacamole is incredible and fresh… but get one of each of their salsas to go with it all because those are incredibly tasty!!

The service is rather a mixed bag, but is typically friendly. The food definitely makes up for any short comings! and the love they put into their food is quite noticeable. Highly recommend stopping in!

And – For those giving one star – they need to get over themselves! The food is solid! Yes, service needs a little help, but is far from bad and there’s absolutely NO REASON TO GIVE A 1 STAR REVIEW FOR THIS PLACE!!!
