Machaca and Huevos Rancheros! Agua de Piña and handmade tortillas
Reyna M.

They redid their front entrance and menu! Looks very nice! The menu is easy to read! The kitchen area also got a makeover! We got the Machaca breakfast and The huevos Rancheros! Absolutely delicious! The hand made tortillas so yummy! We also got the Agua de Piña (pineapple) definitely recommend this place. Even before the remodel it was super delicious!

This place used to be good but no good quality anymore. Found a hair in my burrito absolutely disgusting .

Food is ok! I was going home and stopped here for the asada tacos. I got 5 and ate 3 and 2 the next day. Make sure if you eat the tacos get enough for that day. Holding them over night in the fridge the next day the tortillas don't taste so great! Almost to the point i would just eat the meat inside and throw the tortillas away. Good customer service at the window. They have a few outside seating/no inside yet. Scary area after 8pm on that part of magnolia so be careful and alert. Not as good as before when they had the full kitchen going but it gets the job done.

Affordable prices

Food on the past was good and affordable . Now I noticed that menu was reduced and quality and price are not part of their history.

Food quality is Low-mid, ordered 2 burritos, and they were filled with mostly onions and cilantro. Horchata is good.

The meat was a little greasy, with gristle on it still. The entrance from my the parking lot is a little strange too.

I am a frequent regular and I highly recommend this place! I have yet to try their brunch, but I…read morehope to soon. The wait staff is incredibly friendly and the food is always amazing. The taco Tuesday deal is pretty great! I find myself there quite a bit! Also, the margaritas and other drinks are really good. I finally branched out on a non-taco Tuesday day and the butternut squash enchiladas, and the yellowtail ceviche were incredible..... like to die for. The Lola's margarita is always a hit. Probably one of my favorite margaritas --it's a classic. I recommend the patio area in the back when it's open, but during the heat and the inevitable bug problem that happens during the summer I would suggest sitting inside.

Spectacular Mexican food! I'm so glad TikTok recommended this place because I may have never…read morestumbled upon it otherwise! I stopped by on a Friday afternoon and waited about 20 minutes for a table. The wait was well worth it because each dish offered an explosion of flavors. My favorite dish was the birria, with the salmon ceviche as a close second. The mole was great too, but I'd say the other two dishes were more memorable and something I'd return for. I can't recommend the birria enough, as the flavors were reminiscent of what I've had in Mexico, very authentic. The space is small and can feel a bit tight, but sometimes the best food comes from these types of "hole in the wall" places. Ultimately, I'd say give Lola's a try! You can't go wrong with Mexican food!

We decided to grab lunch at 2nd and PCH after going to the Sunday Farmer's Market, and decided to…read morefinally check out Ola. Palapa next door offers the same food menu but has more drink options. Many opted for outdoor seating on the terrace due to the gorgeous views, but not wanting to wait we agreed to indoor seating. The interior of the restaurant is also very beautiful. The bathrooms were too dark for my tastes though. Our waitress was absolutely phenomenal, super friendly and anticipating all of our needs (water refills, leftover containers, etc.). Service overall by all staff was friendly. We were actually presently surprised with the taste of the food, thinking it might be more Americanized but they actually had very authentic and tasty totopos (tortilla chips). The tomato salsa that came with the chips was also very refreshing. We asked for hot sauce too and the house habanero salsa really packed a punch! We ordered carne asada nachos, pork belly chilaquiles (from the brunch menu), a breakfast burrito, poke, and steamed clams. The steamed clams came in a rich tomato broth and the breakfast burrito was massive. The poke was just okay and the chilaquiles a bit too soggy for me, and the carne asada nachos a bit dry. Nonetheless, presentation and portion sizes were respectable. The last comment is that food here is quite pricey but that reflects the likely high rent of a restaurant in 2nd and PCH. Ola still exceeded expectations and provided a more than pleasant meal.

Absolutely fire! This place was a smash hit!!…read more My brother and I came down here for the Formula Drift Championship and Night Lights car show. We were looking for a very authentic Mexican place that was clean and vibrant. From the moment you drive into their parking lot in the rear, you instantly know how much they care about every piece of their entire process. I'm telling you: the manicured parking lot, the detailed attention to us (even though we were the last ones walking into the restaurant at near closing time). They attended to us as if they were awaiting royalty! I've forgotten what real authentic service felt like, and this really smashed it. Beyond that, I can tell you that from the homemade salsa to the absolutely overabundant amount of ceviche, the generous portions of avocado slices on top of it, the authentic tostada, and the fajitas that we split were absolutely over the top. To have any other value other than 5 stars for this place is absolutely mind-blowing! This is definitely a destination location, and I will be bringing my wife and kids to thoroughly enjoy themselves and the quality of food that they have here. This is the Mexican place that has that authentic flavor, that 10-out-of-10 royalty-level service, at a very reasonable value in exchange for everything and more. *To whomever reads this on the ownership side, I personally thank you for the entire process and for the culture that you have created. A restaurant like this, hitting all marks, is definitely missing in our system and society today.

We came to celebrate two birthdays with a party of 15, and unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing. Our server Enrique barely came around, and even when we thanked him, we received no response or acknowledgment. Customer service has just gone down the drain! At the end of our dinner, after spending over $600 as a group, my husband mentioned that we were celebrating two birthdays. The server's response was, "Well, I will have to charge you for two cakes because you didn't tell me on time." My husband paid for the cakes, of course, but the way the situation was handled was very disappointing and left a bad impression. We chose this restaurant to celebrate a special occasion, especially because we have been coming here for years, and unfortunately, the experience took away from what should have been a happy celebration. With a large party and a bill combined of over $600, we expected much better service and hospitality. Very disappointing experience, especially after coming here for years. Unfortunately we will not be coming back.
