    Beautiful decor, great Taco Tuesday dinner but for the group, the big table and loud music made conversation difficult. Server and food were warm and wonderful! Accommodated allergies with grace.

    Lolita's offers a welcoming atmosphere with truly great service and some good drinks. However, the food itself proved to be a bit of a mixed bag. While the hot sauce/salsa is a definite highlight, the main dishes left something to be desired. The much-talked-about Carne Asada "fries" were surprisingly breakfast-style potatoes, which, while having a good flavor, felt underwhelming for the price, especially lacking expected additions like guacamole and jalapeños. My sopes featured brisket that unfortunately was quite dry, though the other components were indeed quite tasty. Overall, Lolita's shows promise with its service and beverages, but the food quality needs more consistency to truly impress.

    Delicious food and nice ambience but service was a bit strange, and felt very rushed. Wait staff clearly wanted to turn our table over quickly, pushing us to order entrees and more drinks ASAP, despite only being 20 minutes into our reservation time. After about 40 minutes of being hounded to order everything very quickly and having plates with food still remaining to be eaten nearly snatched from the table while we were still eating, in efforts for them to flip our table in under an hour, we relented and opted to go to a different restaurant for additional drinks and dessert.

    Great food. The house made corn tortillas are outstanding, as is the guacamole. Bloody Mary was perfect!
