La Olla Restaurant

La olla is perfect for a good O Colombian ox tail soup. I have visited Colombians restaurants in the past, like in New Jersey and New York, and their ox tail is always delicious. I was surprised. I found this Colombia rest here in Houston. Very impressive. I need to return back soon and try their famous rice with chicken. Is one of the best dishes they have. Nice waiters. Very friendly. I recommend this place.

Went today for the first time to try the place and ordered carryout. Maria Fernanda and Johanna were just so amazing. They went out of their way to make sure I was fully satisfied. They explained everything on the menu and even recommended some pairings to go with the food. I even bought some Colombian items based off their recommendations. When I got home and tried the food it was amazing. We were very satisfied with the quality and flavor. Would definitely recommend. Again, Kudos to Johanna and Maria Fernanda!

A small place, especially good for meat lovers. I tried the typical Colombian Paisa Plate, which was a like a big sampler, including a thin-sliced beefsteak, big sausage, pork belly, red beans, rice, an egg, potato cake, fried banana and sweet potato...really enough for two to share, and topped it off with a nice blackberry smoothie. I would have rated it five-star, except that the dish should have included avocado and they were out, which wouldn't have been a big deal, but avocado was in season, so really no excuse. I asked for extra rice instead of the avocado, and was told I could substitute only fried banana or sweet potato, which I thought was not very accommodating. Anyway, just a small complaint, and the food was delicious, service good, and prices fair.
