LA OLA SURFSIDE RESTAURANT – Mexican
Times Square, Fort Myers Beach, an hour before sunset - that is La Ola at its best. The bar opens early, live music plays daily, and the whole place is built around the view down Estero Boulevard to the water. The kitchen turns out its signature nachos, tacos and burritos alongside seafood and steak plates, with gluten-free and other dietary requests handled without fuss. It is loud, sunny and unpretentious, and people come as much for the dancing and the crowd as the food. A rebuilt multilevel home with a tiki deck is on the way.
