By: Louise Fayet

Let's taco 'bout Olas! A cute beach shack right on Shoal Bay beach, Olas has been making waves. It is the talk of the island for two reasons that pair perfectly: Tasty beach tacos and a rum punch that contends for "best on-island!"

Welcome To Olas...!

Situated in the middle of Shoal Bay, near Madeariman, Olas is perfectly placed. It is within a few steps of the bay's enticing blue water.

Breathtaking Shoal Bay

This wooden beach shack is owned and operated by Bev and his partner, Eulandy. Some of you may know Bev, who also runs The Fountain Resort in Shoal Bay.

Hello Eulandy!

Olas is beautifully decorated with dried coconut and palm tree leaves, giving it a warm Caribbean vibe.

We settled at our table where the blue views are plentiful and the relaxing music soothes your soul.

Best Cocktails in Anguilla?

Olas offers an ocean of refreshing drinks to beat the warm Anguilla sun. First up?

Eulandy's Fresh Margarita!

Eulandy fills her cocktails with passion, love and care. Her margarita is prepared with pride. Made with the freshest ingredients, these are extra-refreshing! The passionfruit and mojito go down as BEST on-island.

Mojito & Passion Fruit Margarita

Eulandy has also perfected the recipe for a potent rum punch! We watched as she sliced fresh fruit - and she did not skimp out on the rum! These rum punches are as strong as they come.

Eulandy's Famous Rum Punch

From the frozen section we also sampled the pina colada which had a unique twist. It is made with plenty of fresh ingredients and real chunks of coconut.

Speaking of frozen drinks, you can't leave without trying Eulandy's frozen margarita. She will color it an eye-catching electric blue if you ask. Margarita options don't end there. The Red Bottom is picturesque. A potent cocktail, it is made with Silver Tequila, Grand Marnier, St. Germaine, fresh lime juice and sweet grenadine.

A Spec-taco-lar Lunch!

The menu begins with appetizers of green salad, onion rings, freshly made guacamole, salsa and chips, picaditas and...

Yummy Chalupas

A specialty dish of Mexico, these five mini chalupas pack a whole lot of flavor. It is a great plate for sharing.

If you love tostones as much as I do, then Olas will make your day. Their Topped Tostones are locked and loaded!

Olas' Loaded Tostones

This gigantic tostone is patted down and fried until a crisp, golden brown. It is topped up with a savory, meaty salsa and served with a side of boiled corn, beans and a green salad made up of fresh lettuce, cherry tomatos, zesty radishes and a light vinaigrette.

This is one hearty starter!

Grilled Mahi Fish Tacos

Fresh grilled fish tacos are topped with lettuce, pico de gallo, lime cream, chipotle mayo, jalapeño and grated cheddar cheese. I absolutely loved these tacos, dipping them in the lime cream made them even better! All tacos are served with chips and boiled corn.
