Birria for lunch? Yes, please! Ate lunch at Lola's Birria and grabbed their lunch special, birria ramen + birria taco, and let me just say... my lunch was having a whole identity crisis because it couldn't decide whether it wanted to be taco or ramen... let's have both!! They start you off with chips and both red & green salsa, and thankfully, BOTH were delightful. No sad, watery salsa situation happening here! The birria ramen came in a small soup bowl, but don't let the size fool you. That broth was packed with that rich, savory birria goodness. The birria taco was generously stuffed with meat and came with its own little container of consomé for dipping. Because apparently one can never have too much birria juice. The lunch special also comes with rice, beans, cilantro and onion, making this a pretty satisfying meal for less than $15. That's a lunch deal I can get behind! And the birria itself had what I look for: tender, juicy, slow-cooked beef with a deep, savory, slightly spicy and mildly smoky chile flavor. It should taste rich and beefy, with the spices complementing the meat rather than overpowering it, and the consomé should be flavorful enough that you'll want to drink it straight from the cup. BONUS POINTS: They don't use lard in the beans! As someone who appreciates knowing what's lurking in my side dishes, I definitely appreciate this. Overall, I liked it! If you're looking for a good-value lunch special in the area, Lola's Birria is definitely worth checking out. And if you're anything like me, you'll probably be dipping everything into that consomé. read more

Drinks were on point and the chips and salsa were legit. Rice and beans were flavorful, and the service was good,attentive without hovering. The ambiance was casual and comfortable. Unfortunately, the goat birria was a miss. Way too salty and really chewy, which was disappointing. Solid experience overall, but I'd skip that dish next time. read more

Amazing experience right when I walked in the door! I love the ambiance and color! It was clean, bright, beautiful with authentic design. I knew I was about to get some authentic Mexican food. Julissia greeted me and took care of me! She's wonderful! So kind, attentive, and genuinely seemed happy to be there and personable with me. She also had urgency and didn't hover. Can't wait to come back and see what else she recommends! The food was exceptional. Every single thing was full of mouthwatering flavor, perfect textures and drinking it down with that margarita was perfection. read more

You want authentic flavors? This is the spot for you. The food is full of flavor and you can tell these flavors come from family recipes. Maria and her team are all very welcoming and friendly. It's a small hidden gem with beautiful decor and great music. Support small businesses like this, they are the ones that keep family style recipes around for others to enjoy. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Attention all birria lovers I found you a local spot! Coming from a Mexican family it's hard to find authentic birria, let me tell you this place did not disappoint. From the queso birria to the ramen birria even the fish tacos everything was delicious. Cute lil restaurant located in Murrieta with plenty of indoor seating and some tables outside. Started with chips and salsa , they offer happy hour $5 margs why not and even $5 micheladas what a steal! (Note they don't use tequila only reason why I knocked a star margaritas are made with agave) still delicious and made very crafty with chamoy rim and tajin. Plates are large and very filling had fish tacos on special that came with authentic tasting rice and beans main reason I was here the star of the show BIRRIA RAMEN with all the fixings. What a delightful lunch are server was attentive and very friendly. Definitely coming back to try the brunch. FYI they also serve goat Birria for an up charge. I like my beef birria which is what I got. :) read more

So there I was, leaving Amazon Fresh when my attention was drawn directly across the parking lot to a woman raising a tall promotional banner stating "TAMALES", in front of Lola's Birria. I was hungry and instantly remembered it was tamale season, so I stowed my groceries in my truck (an XLT by the way) and walked over. The woman who tended to me was very nice and professional, and turned out to be the owner. I ordered two Birria tamales, with a side of rice and beans, and what she served me was simply glorious! The tamales were already unwrapped and had been given a nice cheese sear. Like a queso-Birria taco, if you know what that is. It was a delicious and filling dining experience, which moved me to prepare this review. Food, service, and ambiance were all on point. I look forward to going back to explore other tamale varieties. Fortunately I took a photo of my plate before I devoured everything on it! read more

Food was good, smell was awful. I ordered the birria melt and it was awesome. Birria and cheese stuffed inside grilled slices of Texas toast. The toast provided a nice crunch even after dipping it in the birria sauce. The bad part was the smell of the restaurant. It smelly like sewer. They probably need to clean out their grease traps or check their plumbing. read more

After a spa day in Murrieta, this was the best choice I made to ordered some birria sliders. What can I say? It was super delicious! The meat was so tenderized melting in your mouth. Dip it in the consome adding more flavor. So juicy! Made my mouth watered in taking every single bite with a awwwww...So good! Wish I had more time to try other items on the menu, but had to do take out since we were in a hurry to get home. Place was nice and clean with friendly staff. I would definitely return the next time I'm in Murrieta. read more

Lola's Birria is a gem. The birria tacos are on point. Packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The consommé is the best I've had. Rich, savory, and not overly greasy like many places. Prices are fair and the service is excellent. It's only 6 minutes from my house, which makes it even better. Hard to beat quality, value, and convenience all in one spot. Highly recommend. read more

Yummy food!! Birria is on point. I would definitely recommend coming here for your birria fix!

Its been cold and rainy. I wanted pazole Verde and you know what, this place makes some bomb soup. We've never had/been here and I noticed it by accident while across the street. The dining area was very clean and the music was a nice beat to sit to. Service was great! No complaints at all. Horchata came with some garnish and it pleasantly made it that much more enjoyable. Husband was very happy with his dish as well. I left with only my flan because I was so full...Will be enjoying that soon. We'll be back and will be bringing friends and family. read more

I have had my eye on this place for a while. My husband and I finally stopped in today to pick up lunch. The restaurant is small but cozy and well lit. We were greeted and ordered our food. We ordered the sliders (new menu item), shrimp tacos, Baria Goat Bowl and a Churro Sundae. While we waited, we were served a lime and cucumber water which was delicious!! Everything we ordered was delicious. The sliders were filled with flavor, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The shrimp tacos were tasty and well made. I was only able to eat one and saved the second for another meal. This restaurant deserves more than 5 stars and I really cannot wait to get another round of sliders and also try out some other menu items. read more

Had my eye on this place for several months and finally took the plunge! Ordered the 3 Queso Birria Taco Plate with Rice and Beans, and a Tostada with Chicken for take out (smile)! Upon arriving home, I noticed that the meal was well packaged and the food was quite visually appealing, with the acception of the amount of cilantro, chopped onion, and radish, lime wedges; which was not enough for one taco, and I purchased three. In to the airfryer went the tacos , to crisp them up, but not before inserting additional monterey jack cheese, and getting additional condiments from my pantry and fridge. The Tostada was of typical quality, and reasonable size. The Birria tacos were delicious and the accompanying consome was delicious too! Next time I should spending the additional $3 for extra cheese, but I am contemplating a dine-in experience to see if there is an improvement on presentation and portions. I will give the place another try because the Birria is one of the best I have tasted, and I want to sample additional items on the menu. read more

Always delicious juicy flavorful tacos. The Birria is the only thing I have had here. The ramen is ok, the noodles tend to be dry and very instant ramen type what would make it better would be to use the fresh/refrigerated kind not the premade dried noodles. But the queso Birria tacos are hands down the star of the show. Will always recommend the tacos for anyone seeking the best in town. read more

EAT HERE!! BEST BIRRIA EVER!! My wife and I found this place by searching for food We were going back home from a trip and we stopped by best decision ever.

First and last time eating here. The only reason I am giving Lola's a two star review is because the waitress was courteous and prompt. She replaced our chips once we told her they were rancid but the second basket was rancid too. We thought it must be the oil. The drinks were great, agua frescas. Our birrias, one goat and one beef were over salted to the point that we could not finish. read more

Got their Ramen Birria to go on a cold-ish day and it certainly hit the spot! The service was prompt and the order was ready when we got there. The place is cute and in a shopping center.

I read the positive reviews on Yelp several days ago for this restaurant and was excited to try them out today. My first impression of the restaurant was not impressed. The floors were dirty and the restaurant was not very busy, with no salsa bar. I ordered A mahi mahi taco plate (with beans and rice) as well as the street taco plate (three DRY carne asada tacos with stale corn tortillas, also with rice and beans). The lady at the counter seemed nice, but didn't make eye contact with me as she brought out my order (which was a red flag). There was also no salsa bar and the salsas given were not that great (a couple different red ones). The music was festive, but I don't think I'll come back, sorry.‍ read more

Menudo was bomb.com! Service was amazing. I wished I lived closer to support this small business.

I'm going to up my rating to 5 stars because my wife and I both agreed that the food reminded us of her family's home cooking. The beans in particular were really close to the way my wife's aunt made them. Service was good and we enjoyed our first visit. The best thing was the Birria tacos which my wife ordered. She let me take a bite and I realized "That's what I should've ordered!" When your restaurant is known for a certain food it's a good thing when that food is super delicious. I ordered Mahi Mahi tacos because I was in the mood for fish. They were pretty basic and needed lime, salt and salsa to wake up the flavor. Chips and salsa were good, too. Small, cozy place. Owner is lovely and cooks got the food out quickly. I would say if you are going to go shopping at Amazon Fresh or Marshall's or Burlington, which are in the same center, grab some Birria tacos to dine in first. Your taste buds will thank you. read more
