Cafe Ole'

Nestled in the bustling Brookside district, this Mexican cafe is renowned for its salsa and queso blanco, both of which are good enough to make a meal out of. The cuisine here leans toward contemporary Southwest flavors and seasonings, as opposed to Tex-Mex. Longtime devotees of Cafe Ole - it's been open since 1987 - recommend having a seat on the cozy patio and monitoring the foot traffic outside before diving into a plate of stacked blue corn enchiladas and washing it down with a frosty margarita. If you're hungry for something more experimental, try the Mexican pizza.
