My party arrived early for our reservation and were promptly seated. We did wait about 10 minutes at our table with no one coming over. Once we brought it to the hostess' attention the server came right over. The waitress was amazing! She was so kind and attentive. One of our party does not like cilantro and addressed it with her. The waitress asked the kitchen about the jerk chicken tacos we ordered and there is cilantro in it. She made sure to come right over to the table to tell us before the food was made to see if we still wanted them. The food was delicious! The tacos are packed with protein and fillings. The margaritas were also very good. Highly recommend Lola's and cannot wait to return. read more

Absolutely love this spot! Food is always great, highly recommend the taquitos, elote and the carne asada tacos! Staff are always friendly and helpful. This place has such a good vibe to it and it is decorated so beautifully. read more

The restaurant is okay. I keep coming back more for the aesthetic than the food. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this isn't it. I'm also not a tequila drinker, so I usually have to make up my own drink. The food was just okay today, it's never a "wow, I can't wait to come back for this dish" kind of place. read more

Took one for the team! I went in for lunch because my work colleagues were curious about this place, but it didn't come through for me. I like the curb appeal & the ambiance. It's spacious & clean inside. I did't like the menu, it's got a tiny selection vs. typical Mexican restaurants & I had a hard time keeping it under 20 for lunch. I only had the two fish tacos as seen in the photo, plain water so it only slightly went above $20. It's just shy of being enough for lunch but i couldn't fill up with chips either as it's $10 extra, or fries $6 extra. Pretty much adding anything else will send my lunch bill over $30. The fish & vegetables in the taco tasted delicious & fresh, so was the sauce. Unfortunately, the corn tortillas tasted a bit off, i went up close for some serious sniff test & it smells stale. I did it 3-4 times because I really wanted to make sure, hope nobody saw me. After I got back to work, I had to go wash my hands again as my fingers now smell like stale flour because I used them to pick up the tacos. The structure integrity of the tortillas were also off, very fragile & fell apart easily after couple of bites while holding on to it with my fingers, the taco eventually spilled its guys half way through. read more

OH YES OH YES! This place was BANGING! The apps were to die for (the queso is a must) and the entrees were phenomenal. Beware: The portions are huge. You'll end up with food for at least 2 more meals. And let me tell you, it's just as good the second time around. Can't wait to come back!

Lolas Longmeadow - Drunken burrito - Mexican Near Me - Longmeadow, Massachusetts

**Review: Lola's Restaurant in Longmeadow** For my birthday, we decided to try Lola's Restaurant in Longmeadow--a first-time visit to this Mexican-inspired, fine-dining establishment. While the experience was memorable, it wasn't quite what we expected. **Service & Atmosphere:** The service was impeccable, with our server being attentive and welcoming throughout the evening. The interior décor was stunning, completely transforming what was once a Friendly's into a space that exudes elegance and sophistication. It's clear that great care was taken to create a dining experience that feels special. **The Food:** Lola's isn't your typical Mexican restaurant, which became clear immediately when there were no complimentary chips and salsa--a standard at most places. Instead, we ordered the $12 *salsa flight*: three small, flavorful, but not spicy salsas, served with whole fried tortillas that you break into chips yourself. Fancy, yes, but it felt more style than substance. We also tried the *Sikil Pak*, a seasonal pumpkin seed dip with mild habanero pepper. It was tasty and unique, but again served with the fried tortilla sheets, adding to the "gourmet touch." For dinner, my wife ordered the *Nashville Tacos*, featuring chunks of fried chicken, while I had the appetizer-sized *empanadas* stuffed with chorizo and potato. Both dishes were well-prepared and presented beautifully, but the flavors leaned more haute cuisine than authentic Mexican. Dessert was a creative take on my favorite, *tres leches.* Instead of the classic sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk, Lola's version featured a melon-sized scoop of cherry ice cream, a cherry chocolate bark chip, and cream. It was inventive, but for a purist like me, it missed the mark. **Final Thoughts:** Lola's is less about traditional Mexican food and more about reimagining it through a high-end, French-inspired lens. The flavors are subtle, the portions modest, and the prices premium. For those looking to impress or experience fine dining, Lola's delivers with its artistry and elegance. However, if you're craving traditional, hearty Mexican food with bold spices and classic dishes, this isn't the place. For us, the lack of authenticity and the high prices mean we likely won't return, as we prefer a more traditional Mexican dining experience. **Rating:** 3/5 Great service and atmosphere, but it's Mexican cuisine for a different palate--and budget. read more

**3 STARS** Parking: Can be difficult to find parking directly in front of the restaurant during busy hours as Lola's shares the same parking lot with other Longmeadow shops. You may have to park closer to the CVS or where other restaurants (Posto, Max Burger, etc.) depending on what time you're there. Ambiance + Service (4/5): The restaurant interior, specifically the bar, is beautiful. Lola's would be a great first date spot as the dimly lit interior and minimalist decor gives the space a more intimate feel. Compared to other restaurants in the Western Massachussets area, Lola's is one of those restaurants that produces a more modern/upscale feel. Certain areas of the restaurant also have neon lights for those who enjoy taking photo ops! Service was good, as we went during a non-busy hour, our waiter was routinely checking on our table to ensure that our food was up to par. Food: Potato & Chorizo Emapanda (4/5): Filling was well-seasoned due to the chorizo (It can get a bit salty as chorizo is a saltier meat). The outside was fried nicely, as well without being overly greasy. This empanada crust is different from the traditional corn/baked crust, it's more airy and crispy. Taki Fuego Fried Chicken (1/5): Was disappointed in this dish due to how sweet the glaze was on the chicken. It tasted like candied chicken and adding the crushed Takis on top only provided a textural element, rather than spice. Chicken pieces were nicely fried and crispy, however, if you like spice, I would not order this dish. Caesar Salad + Add Fried Fish (2/5): The fried fish was cooked well, it wasn't overly breaded or underseasoned. However, for an additional $14-15, I didn't find that the portion was worth the price point and should have ordered the battered fish tacos instead ($16.95). Either the pecorino romano or salad dressing was extremely salty. It was difficult to finish the salad without the fish to help balance the saltiness. Would recommend asking for side dressing or light dressing instead. Drinks: Although I didn't personally order any drinks, my friend enjoyed the margaritas (Can order with a salt or sugar rim). Their other drinks, such as the pina colada which comes with a coconut paleta (popsicle) looked amazing as well. Overall, I would return for the ambiance and drinks, but the food is lackluster given the price point. read more

Came in today hoping for brunch but that's only done on Sunday. Instead I settled on the smashburger and she had the Al pastor tacos. The burger was beautifully put together but was much too salty for me. Her tacos were well executed and tasted very good. We also had the chip and guacamole, very tasty. All in all a good meal, just need to cut down on the salt in the burger toppings. The server was very good and attentive and the place is really nicely decorated and comfortable. read more

Lolas Longmeadow - Amazing bowl, best margaritas! - Mexican Near Me - Longmeadow, Massachusetts

We heard great things about Lola's so we made reservations for brunch. The decor is very trendy, yet classic contemporary. We were greeted and seated right away. I ordered their version of a pina colada. It was on the rocks topped with a mini popsicle, so yummy! To start I had the lazy elote, which was Mexican street corn off the Cobb. This was a hit. I ordered the churro French toast and it was a party in my mouth. The portion was huge and the chef really loves their craft. Drink, app, entree and tip came to about 53.00 which is maybe a little expensive for brunch but on par for the area. Our server Robert is an industry staple and superstar! read more

I have to say why bother making a reservation when they are giving you tables by door, bus stations or kitchen ehen dining area is empty. Ended up choosing a booth at bar area which was lively and had a cool vibe . That being said my friend was meeting me there and was parking . The waitress approached table before I could even put my purse down asking if I was ready to order a drink. I explained my friend was on way in and I preferred to wait . Upon my friend arriving again before she was even settled here she comes looking for the drink order . I'll give her points for being attentive but the vibe was hurry up . We ordered drinks and she asked if we were ready to order an app needed time to look at the menu it would have been nicer if she asked that when bringing the drinks imo. We got the hint that this basically was going to continue to be a rush situation so we asked a couple questions about the entree , which she was knowledgable on and ordered . We got two tacos which came with nothing and a shrimp bowl. The food arrived hot and was tasty. In conclusion, pretty decor , average food and pricey. Every little thing would be extra . The down point for me is when I go out to eat it's a total experience and being rushed is not part of the experience I am looking for. read more

Lolas has a great menu well prepared food and a terrific atmosphere. The staff is attentive and service is prompt. All of the food we had was delicious, but the real winner was the dessert. Their tres leches with dulce de leche gelato was out of this world. Way too good to feel guilty about. read more

When happiness marries a promise. Lolas was chosen for a birthday celebration because I had a fabulous gift card to the Federal, a sister restataunt closed for renovations. It promised to be delicious and inspiring with oysters, mexican, and tequila options. The menu was a tome of culinary inspiration that clicked the gears of my hungry palate into motion. From ohhh to Oh! This is definitely a place to go if you are bored with the ordinary, and tired of the average. read more

We went there for the oysters. They were delicious as were the drinks but that was it. My tacos were mediocre and my husband's burger was average. The place was noisy even though it was mostly empty. The service was very good. read more

I would give Lola's a 3.5 of 5. I wanted sooooo much to love this place. The atmosphere, decor and service was top notch. Seating was comfortable. Staff was pleasant. They really worked hard on the decor. That was a 5 for me. The drinks - $12-14/cocktail. I had a Paloma my brother a margarita. I never thought I'd say this but we both thought they were too strong. I felt like all I could taste was tequila and nothing else. Maybe some enjoy that but I don't. 3 of 5 The food: we shared app - the queso, the birria quesadilla and the lazy man elote. I was not a fan of the queso. It didn't have that smooth easy to dip consistency I looked for. It was full of vegetables and some sort of meat and I didn't love that. They give you a total of 6 small flour tortillas to dip into it... I would've wanted chips. The lazy man elote was good - good flavor. Could've used more cotija cheese. Did not like the birria quesadilla. It didn't have that cheesy melty goodness birria should have and the consome flavor was just off. It has the feel of a looser mole - that was odd. For dessert we ordered the churros. For $13 I expected a decent size dessert. It was three churros that I'm not even joking couldn't have been more than 3 to 4" long with an artificial tasting caramel dipping sauce. Should've skipped the dessert. 3 of 5. Expensive. Two cocktails, 3 apps and dessert cost $110 with tip for lunch. I've heard from friends their tacos are really good. You get two tacos, no sides for around $15-$17 so I didn't go this route, but maybe that would've been better. My friend also said their tuna tostada was good. I would maybe give it another shot. However I prefer their sister restaurants much more! read more

The modern decor and upscale ambiance is very nice. The location is spacious & clean inside and our server was superb. BUT...they have a small selection compared to your typical Mexican restaurants and sides are not included. Order the "Gringo" tacos for $12.95 and you get two mostly tasteless tacos on a rack. If you want rice it's another $5.95, and beans another $5.95. One of the appetizers: Potato and Chorizo empanadas $14.95 consists of two overly-fried and overly spicy empanadas which will burn the mouth. The beef quesadillas consist of a soft tortilla, with thin slices of beef inside and a "bitter"-tasting cheese and sour cream. If you are used to a Mexican restaurant which starts you off with lot's of chips and salsa, this place doesn't do that. You will pay $11.95 and get a few hard, large chips (which you must break yourself) and a few puffed wagon-wheel shaped chips which are totally tasteless. The chips come with three small bowls of sauces - only the green one was okay for me, but t each his own. Some of my guests had the bowls, but no one finished them. I Wish I could have a better report card for Lola's, because I was really looking forward to discovering a great Mexican restaurant, where I could take my friends and family; this is not the place. Hopefully they read their reviews and make some changes to improve their menu and have some of their food taste a little more mainstream Mexican. I will be more than happy edit this when they do, because they do have a lovely location. read more

Ambiance and service were stellar. Bar drink was great. Not sure why a restaurant would charge for chips. Granted the presentation was wonderful but the salsas were thin and tasteless. Shishito pepper apps was a home run but I can make them at home. Carne asada taco was salty and too seasoned; also pretty sparse. Elote corn too spicy. Not your traditional Mexican. First time here but will not return. read more

Location, service and food was the best I've seen in this area!!! Had some of the best Mexican with updated twist to it. Highly recommended! read more

I went to Lola's twice so far. Both times the service was fantastic. Beautiful Decor. However, Atmosphere was loud and the bar was crowded. That doesn't bother us though. We were happy to see that this new establishment is doing so well. My husband and I agreed that the East Coast oysters were absolutely amazing. You could tell they were super fresh and all the toppings are perfect, I especially loved the jalapeño mignonette & cilantro. Unfortunately, The slow Roasted Pork Tacos that I ordered were very fatty and chewy. I will not be getting them again. The salad was good but nothing special. The first time I came here I ordered the Chicken Tinga Bowl and wasn't super impressed. I think if I come back it'll just be for the oysters!! read more

This place wasn't bad, but the 5 star reviews are baffling to me. One reviewer even commented the portions were "huge." What? We did not experience that here. My girlfriend and I left hungry on a $65 bill. The portions were very small, and the only thing complementary with your meal is the water. Our taco plates came with two very small tacos. That's it. If you want any rice or beans or whatever, that's extra - as in $6 to $10 for each side extra. Oh, and that includes if you want a side of nachos - usually provided for free at authentic Mexican restaurants but at Lolas it's an upsell. We ordered the "Salsa Flight" nachos with our meal for $12. That comes with three average, not-so-zesty sauces that our server even gave us an explanation of - as if we were at a wine tasting. And the "chips" were these incredibly large monstrosities that we had to break up on our own. Also, don't order anything with crickets. They are the cheap, crumbled dehydrated variety that are sold online. Like eating dry powder. The tacos themselves were very good. Not "fantastic" or "the best ever." I ordered the "Gringo" tacos and frankly, they weren't any better than Chipotle's. My gf had the brussels sprouts tacos, which she enjoyed. Again, overall, not a bad place. But I think it's not as good as the owners want you to believe it is. For my money, I'll go to other places with sides included with the meal and complementary nachos. read more

I have to say the service was amazing! The food was not my cup of tea . Ceaser salad too salty ( I like salt) the carne asada tacos had a wierd flavor and the tortilla was soggy. The empanadas were not greasy but also salty and big chunks of chorizo not ground . Chips and salsa flight ok .. liked the little chips . The tres leches desert was delicious!!! Would return because of service but just for dessert read more

I've been there a couple times and never an issue until I got bad food poisoning. I ended up in urgent care and they confirmed it. I called restaurant and informed them because it was reported to the health department . Never got a call from the manager. My meal was the shrimp taco. I'm afraid of going there now read more

Amazing service from our server Chelsie ! She was so attentive and personable, always keeping an eye on us with regular check-ins. The ambiance is always inviting and very "Tulum" But my favorite part besides all of the delicious food we had was dessert. They recently put a new dessert item on the menu ( this one was recommended by Chelsie ) - "Cookies and Milk". You won't regret finishing your dinner with this one. It's the perfect comfort dessert to end a night. read more

Hours should be updated. They were closed at 10:45am and yelp says 10:30. We've eaten here and it's very good.

BEWARE when you use your card here!! A few classmates and I came here for a nice lunch and we initially liked the nice vibe it gave off. We had a larger party and had to split the bill 3 ways. We marked which items go on which receipt and they couldn't even get that right so we said ok whatever and paid. THEY BROUGHT back our cards and receipts and we sat there for a few minutes sending money to the folks who paid. Not a word from the servers or staff. We left and saw them standing outside and didn't think anything of it since they didn't wave us down they were just staring. Turns out one of the cards declined and they NEGLECTED to tell us. One would think that you would know immediately that a card was declined but I guess not. Not a word was said and they charged one of the other cards over $100 without notifying us. Very sketchy behavior imo and I would not recommend coming here because clearly splitting a check is too hard. Auto gratuity of 20% is a bit much for a large party, most places are usually 18. The drinks were great (pina colada and margaritas) and food was ok except for the stale tortilla chips (more like tostadas actually) but way overpriced imo. I can get better seasoned Mexican food in California for half the price. read more

Fantastic lunch ... one of the best, if not the best Mexican fusion or Mexican inspired restaurants I have ever visited. The quesadillas were fabulous!!! Highly recommend!!! read more

Great atmosphere with upscale food. Crowded the night we went but service was quick and the food came out fast. Sat at the bar with some familiar faces as bartender's from Latitudes. Some consider the cost expensive as compared to typical Mexican restaurants but the food is much better and the portions generous. They have some non Mexican items and feature a couple dinners and appetizers from Latitudes. read more

Very nice, clean restaurant, went there on a Wednesday, pretty busy, didn't have reservations but they were able to seat us as long as we were done before the reservations. Food was awesome Wanted empanadas but we were told the dough that was made wasn't right so it was 86 for the night. Had the plantain apps it was good but for the price they should given you more, 3 pieces of fried and 3 pieces of sweet. They are fairly cheap at the grocery store. Chips and guacamole were awesome again for the money that you pay, could have given you more. My son ordered salmon tacos, only 2 tacos & salmon pieces were very small, not sure if it was wild or farm raised. Had carne asada tacos and only 2 served. My hubby had truffle Mac & cheese w/braised ribs, It was good but have had better. Drinks are expensive and so is the desert menu. Wish you'd get more food for the price that you paid for it. See for yourself! read more
