Mexican standards acquire new life in the hands of Olé’s chef-owner Erwin Ramos: Guacamole is prepared tableside with a molcajete y tejolote—a heavy mortar and pestle fashioned from porous, rough lava stone—corn tortillas are made in house, and the flour ones, which serve as a base for the irresistible chicken and rice enchiladas are from Maria & Ricardo’s (a great local success story). Though the Inman Square dining room has an authentic (read: colorful) feel, the more traditional dishes (including the moles) sometimes disappoint. Adventurous eaters should stick with the pozole Olé, an enormous main-course portion of thick soup with pork, tomatoes, sweet garlic, and slightly hot guajillo chilies. It comes with side bowls of shredded lettuce, diced radish, red onion, lime, and tortilla chips that make this classic a fabulous build-your-own meal.
