Olas is a wooden shack in the middle of Shoal Bay East, run by Bev, who also runs the Fountain resort, and his partner Eulandy. Tacos and Mexican plates instead of the ribs-and-crayfish standard of this beach, plus a fresh margarita Eulandy makes herself and topped tostones large enough to count as lunch on their own. There is a small boutique attached that she stocks by hand. Same sand as the neighbours, different menu.
Tacos on a beach famous for ribs and crayfish is either a bold move or a very well-timed one, and Olas Tacos seems to be pulling it off. Tostones big enough to count as lunch is the kind of detail that makes the Bum’s stomach start composing letters. If you’ve grabbed one of Eulandy’s margaritas at Olas, tell us how it stacks up. And what’s the best taco you’ve ever eaten with sand between your toes?
