Dylan, our server, seemed new and was struggling a bit, which we understand. However, Jeremy really stood out. Even with his own tables, he took the time to help us and support his coworker. Very professional and provided outstanding customer service. Highly recommend Jeremy — definitely management material!

We had the best time with Yaneli taking care of us! She was very hospitable, sweet, and attentive during a busy lunch rush!! Even when Aunt Judy tried to pay when someone else gave Yaneli the card to pay, she played along lol!

We were casually walking along San Antonio's infamous river walk and came across this amazing spot for a traditional lunch. We were greated by a very friendly host who promptly seated us and staff were bustling around ensuring we had beverages, complimentary chips and salsa, menus, and felt welcome! We ended up ordering birria quesadillas and shrimp tacos, both of which we absolutely AMAZING! EVERYTHING about this experience was a solid 10/10. The atmosphere sitting outside along the River Walk watching people, and birds floating along the river was relaxing and enjoyable. I'd highly recommend trying out Cafe Ole on your next opportunity, you won't be disappointed!

Kaylee is an awesome waitress! She gave us a great atmosphere of a greeting! She made my first date at the river walk wanting to go back again for another date night.

We came here today. The food was absolutely amazing. The street corn was delicious. I got a salmon salad. It was huge and amazing. Justin was our waiter and he was absolutely awesome. He helped us with everything on the menu gave us great tips and was so personable the entire time. We would definitely come back.

My boyfriend and I came last minute on Valentine’s Day, they sat us right away! And not to mention right on the river walk with an amazing view! From there our experience was only elevated, our server was AMAZING, 10/10 service, very attentive and food was so delicious, definitely made my night. Was the perfect date night on the riverwalk and definitely will be back!

Hubby and I wanted a drink so we randomly stopped at Cafe Ole's outside bar. We met Gina G., the bartender and she is amazing! Her knowledge of drinks and recommendations are on point. When she mixes up your drinks they hit the mark and presentation is perfect. 👌🏻 Highly recommend the King George Margarita with tajin on the rim and the Maria's Mango Fresca. The free tortilla chips and fresh salsa are the perfect compliment! Sit at the outside bar with a fresh drink at Cafe Ole and people watch...BONUS if you get to have Gina as your bartender!
