🥃🌵 The Story Behind Olamendi's Mezcal

While traveling through Oaxaca, Don Jorge met Juanita, an remarkable woman who had been making mezcal the traditional way for generations.

He was fascinated by her knowledge, her passion, and the care she put into every batch. Sitting with her, listening to her stories, and tasting her mezcal became one of the most memorable moments of his journey through Mexico.

That experience inspired Don Jorge's love for authentic mezcal and his desire to share those rich traditions with our guests.

Every glass is a tribute to the people, stories, and craftsmanship that make Mexico so special.

¡Salud! 🥃❤️

🌮🍹 Why Olamendi's for Father's Day?

Because Dad deserves more than just Mexican food.

He deserves recipes passed down through generations.
He deserves a restaurant that's been part of Dana Point for over 50 years.
He deserves authentic moles made from family recipes, margaritas made with award-winning tequila, and a table where everyone feels at home.

Could Dad go somewhere else?

Sure.

But will they have Maria's recipes, Jorge's stories, and over five decades of family tradition?

We didn't think so. 😎

This Father's Day, bring Dad somewhere with a little history, a lot of flavor, and plenty of margaritas.

We'll save him a seat. 🍻🌮❤️

🌊🏄‍♂️ Do you remember "Hole in the Fence"?

Long before Dana Point became the destination it is today, locals and surfers spent their days at Doheny Beach and the area affectionately known as "Hole in the Fence." It was a simpler time—surfboards on car roofs, sandy feet, endless summer afternoons, and a tight-knit beach community.

Right across the street, Olamendi's was becoming part of that story.

For more than 50 years, we've welcomed generations of surfers, beachgoers, families, and friends looking for authentic Mexican food after a day in the sun. Many of our guests first came here as kids and now bring their own children and grandchildren.

The waves may have changed, the town may have grown, but the feeling of gathering around a table with family and friends remains the same.

Here's to the surfers, the beach lovers, and everyone who remembers the days of Hole in the Fence. 🌴🌮🍹

Were you part of the Doheny and Hole in the Fence crowd? We'd love to hear your memories in the comments!

🌊🏄‍♀️🌮

A Family Tradition That Never Stopped ❤️

When Jorge and Maria Olamendi opened the restaurant more than 50 years ago, they weren't just building a business—they were building a future for their family.

Their children grew up here. They rolled silverware, cleared tables, helped in the kitchen, greeted guests, and learned the value of hard work from a young age. Like many family businesses, Olamendi's became their second home.

Today, the next generation is still involved, carrying on the traditions, recipes, and values that Jorge and Maria worked so hard to create.

When you dine at Olamendi's, you're not just supporting a local restaurant—you're supporting a family legacy that has been shared with the Dana Point community for over five decades.

Thank you for being part of our family's story. ❤️
