Hola May 19, 2011

hola is a restaurant in Marshfield, MA. They serve a wide selection of Spanish/Latin style Tapas and Flatbreads.

I've never been to Spain but stepping through the door and past the large red drapes, hola makes you feel like you are fresh off the runway.

Since this is a tapas bar all the portions are pretty small but so far everything has been relatively tasty. I think this is the 4th time I have made a trip and have almost sampled the entire menu along with the gf. The wine and cocktail selection is pretty big and moderately priced along with everything else on the menu.

White Sangria - $5

Tonight we started out with Avocado w/ queso fresco cheese & mojo sauce and a Pork and corn tamale with smoked paprika. You are able to smell the smoked paprika before the plate even hits the table. Both were very good.


The avocado with the mojo sauce had a very strong but delicious lime flavor. The queso and pickled onions worked very nice with the freshness of the avocado. It was a nice way to start out the meal. 


The tamale was a little dry but the taste was def there. To be fair we did show up for dinner around 8:15 when they close at 9. I'm sure the tamales were cooked in advance, which was probably the reason.

$6.50

I think also $6.50. This item is not on the online menu.

Next we were served the Steamed Clams w/chorizo/garlic/white wine & scallions.

$9.50

The clams were fresh and the broth was Absurdly Delicious. Let some of the toasted bread soak up the broth before you eat it, you wont be disappointed. 

After filling our bellies with the 3 well portioned apps, we were treated to a main course consisting of a flatbread with Tomatoes/fresh mozzarella/basil 

$9

I think this flatbread is the only repeat item I have ever gotten. So far I think it is the best out of the 11 you can chose from. Definitely worth Going Back for.

We finished the meal off with a dessert flatbread. Strawberry flatbread w/ sweet cream &

Balsamic drizzle. The sweet cream is almost like the filling of a cannoli. I could def just eat it out of a bowl or piping bag. It is really good.

(When I was in elementary school I learned the difference between desert and dessert, bc the teacher told us dessert has more s's bc you always want more dessert. This is something that is very true in my life. I could eat this flatbread everyday)

$9.50

Over all this place is really good on fri and sat nights you are barely able to get into the door it is so packed. We payed $70 including tip for all this food along with an espresso and 2 cokes. Really a great place. 

I have tried to go maybe 3 or 4 times on a weekend night and turned around once we opened the door bc it was so packed. So if you plan on going on a weekend night plan to go early. 

They open at 5 on the weekends and close a little later, 10. They are closed monday and sunday and for lunch. 

On a scale of: Avoid/Eh/Going Back/Last Meal

My Rating = Going Back! (p.s. over and over again)

Bon Appetit Bitches!!!!
