Olla Cocina is a charming neighborhood Mexican restaurant in Willow Glen serving thoughtfully prepared regional dishes in a warm, colorful space. The enchiladas, chiles rellenos, and house margaritas are consistently excellent, and the brunch menu on weekends is a neighborhood favorite. It's a small space so waits can be long without a reservation.
