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 girlfriend, 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.
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.

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.

With our cocktails in hand, tacos called...
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.
The menu then explands into a variety of kebabs, fajitas and tacos, burritos, tostadas, chimichangas and quesadillas. Choose your filling: Grilled mahi mahi, chili lime chicken, Al Pastor pork, steak, ground beef, grilled lobster, shrimp, cauliflower and veggie mixes.
First up, as recommended by our waitress...
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.
Next up, the Adobo steak quesadillas...
Olas' quesadillas are loaded with flavor! Our favorite? The Adobe Steak quesadillas. Succulent pieces of steak are grilled to perfection and layered with chipotle mayo, cheddar cheese, lettuce and jalapeños. These come with a side of chips and tomato salsa.
Lastly from this section...
Al Pastor Pork Enchiladas
Two enchiladas are served in a hot iron pan. The pork enchiladas are mixed with pineapple and covered in a sweet sauce. The whole creation is finished with sour cream, cheese and slices of avocado. The dish also comes with a side of chips, rice and beans.
The menu doesn't end there. Olas features a variety of sides. Choose from beans, tostones, fried plantain, onion rings, french fries, sweet potato fries and sautéed potatoes.
Delicious Sautéed Potatoes
In addition to Mexican fare, Olas serves up classic beach burgers, chicken wings, grilled lobster, salmon, crayfish and so much more.
