We absolutely LOVE El Olivo. We eat there every weekend. Maria is the best! She already knows what we want when we come in. Great prices and generous portions. Same owners since 1988, great place, highly recommend!
Good authentic food, friendly and fast service!
We've been enjoying our meals at El Olivo for over 30 years but there must have been a change in management/ownership. We ate there on 8/21/2025. The menu had changed (with increased prices) and the food was definitely subpar. There was only one overworked and inexperienced server and we did not receive what we had ordered. We can be understanding about the poor service, but the food needs to be good.

El Olivo Mexican Restaurant provides a memorable dining experience with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. The homemade chips and fresh salsa, especially the standout salsa verde, are not to be missed. This family-owned restaurant has a small, colorful dining area that creates a nice, relaxing atmosphere. Quick and friendly service is a highlight, although some guests have noted occasional delays, especially during busy times. The food is consistently good, with favorites like Mexican rice, beans, and chicken fajitas. The chicken dishes are cooked to perfection, bursting with savory spices. Portion sizes are generous, offering great value for high-quality food, and many customers have enjoyed the burrito, enchiladas, nachos, bean soup, tacos, and the el olivo plate. The cantina-like atmosphere and welcoming staff make it a popular spot for lunch or dinner. The margaritas are a popular addition to the meal. Overall, El Olivo is a must-visit for those seeking an authentic Mexican culinary adventure.
