Ole Mexican Grill, Boston

Chef Erwin Ramos is friends with Chicago’s famous Mexican food chef Rick Bayless and has grown ever more ambitious with his own regional Mexican cuisine. Bright décor and a lively atmosphere can’t hide the serious skill behind Ole's entrees like róbalo asado: Pan-seared wild sea bass with grilled corn polenta, sautéed organic baby spinach and red bell pepper-chipotle sauce. Make sure you get the guacamole, prepared tableside, and try the ahi tuna ceviche when you dine at this top Boston restaurant. There’s a selection of small plates, and for entertainment, well, there’s usually action at the tortilla-making station by the bar. Ramos also has a takeout taquería across the street called Olecito. And if you can’t get a table at Olé, the great East Coast Grill is just around the corner.
