Mexican · Inman Square · Since 1998

Chef-owner: Chef Erwin Ramos · Opened 1998

Opened 1998 by chef Erwin Ramos in the 11 Springfield Street space that housed the 1980s comedy club Ding Ho — the room where Steven Wright, Jimmy Tingle, and Bobcat Goldthwait got their start. Olé's tableside guacamole and Olecito takeaway offshoot next door have kept it an Inman Square anchor for a quarter-century.
