"If there’s a trendier place to order tostada and tamales than Olla Cocina, then we’ve yet to come across it. Located on a string light-lit street around the corner from San Pedro Square Market, its large open windows reveal a charming interior of wagon wheel light fixtures, tiled flooring in hacienda-style, and accent walls with wildly patterned wallpaper. One wall displays a collage of vintage movie posters, while another presents a bold skull pattern—ideal backgrounds for those Instagram photoshoots." - Johanna Harlow
