We tried a variety of apps and main dishes - everything was delicious. Highly recommend the amarillas fritas, bacalitos, sancocho, mofongo con bistec, and vanilla flan.

Pricing was very reasonable - we had plenty of food for 5 for $108, tip included.

We had a simple lunch that was flavorful, well-prepared, and inexpensive. It's an open air restaurant where you can enjoy the fresh air without baking in the sun and heat. The decor gives it a rustic and charming vibe. You can tell simplicity is part of their approach. You walk in and seat yourself, you bus your table at the end of the meal, and you pay at the window on your way out--we learned this by watching the locals who had stopped in for a quick lunch. The small menu was handwritten on plain white paper--Spanish on one side, English on the other. We spotted someone diligently hand-drying clean plates and trays at the edge of the dining area. We were expecting our bottles of waters to come to the table before our food, but after a short wait the server brought it all out together on a tray. The plates are basic and we got to-go plasticware & napkin sets to eat our meal. The food was excellent! The Arroz Mamposteao (mixed rice) was especially good. After a week in PR where it seems vegetables are surprisingly scarce on restaurant menus, we were really excited to have green salad. The total meal was under $20, making it the least expensive lunch for two we've had in a long time.

She is supported by her two sisters who are the hostess and server. The take out portions are huge and can definitely be shared. You can call your order in and they will bring it to your car. They only make a limited amount of their daily 4 entree choices since they are only open for lunch. While currently they are only open for lunch you don't want to miss out on this gem. Parking was not an issue, plenty of street parking near the restaurant.

Wowza. Definitely the best meal I had in Puerto Rico, and quite potentially one of the best meals…read moreI've had in my life. Salmon sashimi on the plaintain chip was a good appetizer, although I do think that the plantain was a bit large and overshadowed the fish. But the tuna tartar taquitos were out of this world! So flavorful that my husband and I were fighting over who would get the last one. Had the grilled salmon as a main dish, and although the menu didn't quite sell me on the cucumber broth the fish was sitting in, I have to say that it tasted absurdly delicious. The crispy taro cake was a perfect texture complement to the dish. Our server was fantastic, and recommended several of the dishes that we ordered. When debating dessert he insisted that the corn cake was the best they had. I wasn't really sold with the menu description again, but holy smokes, this thing was excellent. Can't say enough good things about the food at Lola. If I lived nearby, I'd probably be there frequently.

I really enjoyed the dark atmosphere and spacious seating. Our server was also very kind, asking about our trip to Puerto Rico and giving us recommendations. We ordered four appetizers because we weren't in the mood for the entrees on the menu and it was a great strategy. We ordered the Aranitas De Salmon Sashimi, Tuna Tartar Taquitos, Croquetas De Risotto, and Escargots Cubierto De Filo. My personal ranking from favorite to least favorite was the sashimi, croquettes, tuna taquito, and escargot pastry. The sashimi paired really well with the light, airy, and crunchy plantains and the mango really elicits the freshness of the dish. The Croquettes were crunchy on the outside and cheesy and sweet in the inside, and the entirity was creamy and melted in my mouth. The tuna taquito was also sweet - the tuna tasted really fresh but the sauce kind of reminded me of teriyaki or honey barbeque which I don't mind. The pastry to me tasted on the plain side but the escargot was very buttery and flavorful. We also tried the Creme Brulee De Pistachio. It was a small size which is fine after we were full from the appetizers. It was really cream, sweet, crunchy, and the pistachio flavor punched through. Overall, I really recommend this restaurant.
