If your in New Westminster and are hungry, the majority of the places to eat are on Columbia Street. There are some of course on 6th (some good ones there) but unfortunately the best ones are on Columbia and I hate eating there while watching all the riff raff swearing up a storm or yelling at invisible people! However Ole Ole is a bit away from Columbia St. and if kind of a nice change. It is a small little place with a very polite owner who brides himself on being there for quite a number of years. The food is descent and so is the price, the atmosphere is quiet and relaxing and if you like the small mom and pop feel instead of the big franchises which you will find a lot of on 6th St., then this is your place.

It's tiny, and very local. The owner is Mexican. The food is very good--very "home" style. Probably the best Mexican I have had in Canada. I had the "green mole" over chicken, and next time will ask for the mole (which was excellent) on the side, so I can skin the chicken thigh and leg--I hate chicken skin. But the flavours of the food were excellent.
My partner had the nachos--also excellent. -

As a spanish person (not Mexican) looking for some Mexican food one day and I came across this restaurant, not very impressed with the food, some Asian guy is the cook which is weird but whatever. U get your food pretty quickly but not very well made. I vote no for pedro!!

The decor is sparse and there's no liquor license, but this hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant serves up filling portions of tacos, nachos, tamales and burritos on homemade corn or flour tortillas. I tried the taco combo, which included chorizo, beef and chicken tacos wrapped in soft corn tortillas and topped with fresh guacamole, plus rice and refried beans, for about $12.
Everything was fresh and tasted homemade - though there seemed to be something missing in the chile department. Nothing was terribly spicy, though the meat was tender and nicely seasoned. The refried beans were a little sweet for my liking - and the Mexi-rice seemed a bit dry, suggesting microwaving?
But hello sugar! The fried banana with caramel sauce and ice cream that we had for dessert met my sugar requirement for about a week. Oh, so good. Maybe washing it down with the remains of a bottle of Jarritos lime soda wasn't the best idea. I was fairly buzzing at the end of the meal.
And speaking of sweet, the owner is a courtly older Mexican gentleman who will sit you down, take your order, prepare the food and make sure you're happy. He greets everyone with the happy salutation of "friend" and though we were the first in for dinner that evening, it soon became clear the place has many regulars.Listed in: Bright Lights, Royal City

The review from 9/30/2009 is not at all what I found when I ducked into this establishment. As I recall, the only mexican aspects of this restaurant were the mexican sodas and the need for bottled water. My food arrived far to fast to be mistaken for anything but frozen and the flavour & consistancy did nothing to help the experience. The only positive thing I can say for this place is that the food didn't kill me.
I ate enough to give it a fair shake and got some quiznos on the way home. -

A good go to Mexican place - food is not swimming in sauce and cheese as many fast food Mexican places tend to do. Owner, Raoul is friendly, always remembers a face.
