"When: Mon-Fri, All Day The Deal: $6-$8 Margaritas; $25 Bottomless Margaritas from 4-8pm Bottomless margaritas on a weekday? Only our strongest soldiers. If that’s you, head to this festive, flower-covered Mexican restaurant in East Harlem from 4-8pm. If it’s not, you can still show up at any time and still get individual margaritas for $6-$8, and everything from cheese arepas and birria fries to huge deep-fried chile rellenos.

"Ollin has been around since 1997, but this Mexican restaurant in East Harlem has found newfound fame on TikTok in the past few years, introducing the world to the family behind the business. Several generations of family members can often be seen online and IRL putting up colorful papel picado, flower garlands, and holiday decorations in the tiny room like it’s an extension of their own house. Others are busy in the back, deep frying huge, queso Oaxaca-filled chili rellenos, or stacking Puebla-style cemitas milanesa with perfect precision. Come hungry with one or two other people—these are close quarters—and look out for special events like drag brunches and Dia De Los Muertos parties." - Neha Talreja

Cute spot with pretty good Mexican food. Not a huge menu but the Birria enchiladas are very good. The guac also was excellent with homemade tortilla chips. I found a some of their prices a little high for the serving sizes though and wasn’t in love with their margartas.

Ollin was a small but amazing spot. They have outdoor seating, but my friends and I decided to sit inside because there wouldn't be enough room for us outside. The inside of Ollin was very nicely decorated but was a little loud with the music they were playing. Not a big issue because they lowered it when we told them it was too loud. Now on to the food, I had the esquites to start and they were good, not the best but not the worst I have had. I followed this up with a pineapple margarita and a arepa hawaiina. Let me be clear the margaritas here will have you twisted quick if you aren't careful! They were a lot stronger than I thought they would be, which was great! My arepa was filling and tasty, and I would recommend it. For dessert, I ordered their chocolate chip cookie and was given the story of how most of their baked good are baked in-house by one of the family. Let me tell you the cookie was good. It had a slight cinnamon taste and a decent amount of chocolate chips. It was warm and gooey. So if you are in the area, definitely give Ollin a try, I promise you won't regret it!

My torta had a thin slice of chicken. Some people prefer more, but I was okay with it because it was still good. I believe they added cheso fresco to the torta. 👍 The enchiladas were good too. Margaritas were different flavors! Agua de Jamaica margarita and passion fruit margarita!

Came here as a stop on a bike tour so we didn’t spend much time in the space itself although it’s worth noting that there’s limited seating. The cemitas are awesome and I’d come back for more. Aesthetics are cool too - there’s a reason it’s popular on Instagram!

I ate the chilaquiles, which are always amazing!!! My partner always gets the cemitas. They taste like his late aunt’s homemade cemitas that’s how authentic they are. We drank a pitcher of the agua de Jamaica margaritas. We indeed came out of there happy! Do not sleep on the chocolate chip cookie either. The food is fresh and if you’re confused on what to get the staff is super helpful. If you are new to the neighborhood, Ollin should definitely be on your list to check out. They are a multi generational family locally owned businesses that has it’s feet grounded with the community. They host events w. great deals!

One of the best hidden gems in East Harlem! Olin gave us a warm welcome and experience. The happy hour margs are a 10/10 and you can’t go wrong with the Birria Tacos. Get the goat meat though, it’s takes it to a different level 😋 Follow @Butteronaroll_ on IG & TT for more NYC restaurant reviews 💛🧈
