Spectacular Mexican food! I'm so glad TikTok recommended this place because I may have never stumbled 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! read more

Not impressed by anything we ordered, given the competition locally. I will drive to Acton, CA (124 miles round trip) for their chicken tortilla soup ... bringing back 3 quarts of it after our meal is done. The soup here lacks the tastebud awakening zip that Don Chato's has. The ono fish taco experience was my fault... I hate fried fish taco, so I had lofty expectations, but due to the fact that I do not prefer corn tortillas, guacamole or raw onions, led to much disappointment since It has all three. Totally my fault. The butternut enchilada was lacking in the expected savoriness... this is being polite. The potato taquito was okay... but I am not a taquito person, so if you are I would seriously encourage you to try it. The star of the table was the Mexican corn. It may not compete with Cornman in Lincoln Heights, but it was decent. I scraped off the onions and toppings on the ono tacos, put the fish on the flour tortillas that another person didn't want, and topped the fish with refried beans, street corn and a but if the chicken tortilla soup broth to make due. When you are driving more than 30 minutes for this experience, I think you would agree that it was less that a proper way to celebrate a birthday. Oh and if there isn't any street parking. It'll cost you about 9 bucks in the lot. I didn't use the restroom, so I cant review its cleanliness. Our waitress was flawless taking orders and delivering food The restaurant itself has a great layout and an outdoor courtyard complete with propane heaters and umbrellas - I loved that... but my favorite part was out front, no not the seating area in the former parking spaces, nope... it was the collapsed woman on the sidewalk, walking her dog with snot running out of her nose because she was huffing some aerosol can of whatever. This truly set the mood upon arrival. Two stars for being close to a lot of other food choices to visit afterward. read more

Of all the times I've been here, it's alway been great. The service was amazing and the experience was all great. This visit, we stopped by during happy hour. It's normally taco Tuesday or dinner. It wasn't busy when we arrived. Mainly everyone was seated outside which we wanted a table as well. There was one that we were interested in and asked if we could have it which the waitress working was ok with. But it needed clearing up. It took a while for someone to come out and clear and clean the table up. It was fine waiting but it was like did someone forget about us. Anyways. We got seated and then the waiting continued. It could be that they were short staff but it seemed like there was only one person working. It took a while for someone to finally come back and acknowledge us and take our order. After that the chips and salsa were brought out. Once we ordered the drinks it was easier to place everything together. Menu for happy hour is pretty limited. A few drinks and beer on drafts and for food, maybe 6 items on the menu. Went with an order of the street corn which was quite tasty. An order of the mole chicken nachos and the queso dip with barria. Out of the three, the queso dips and the street corn were great. Nachos were good but nothing really major. The flavors of everything were quite tasty. Dishes were 12.00 an item. For happy hour, it was decent and what we had was good. The service was pretty slow at the beginning. Only the front patio and inside seating was available as the back patio wasn't open. We did start to see other staff walking in so maybe there was only one staff during the time. read more

I drove and walked past this place many times and finally was able to tried it recently! We went during HH and got some drinks, which were yummy, they didn't skim on the liquor. We ordered a few burritos, which my friends all liked. I was able to taste them too and the salsa verde on the burrito was so so yummy! And, the black mole was so so flavorful and rich I would ask for extra mole! Then I got the grilled salmon tacos, sooo good, pieces were big. Def recommend and I would def come back! read more

Food, amazing. Service, fantastic. Ambiance, cozy. We enjoyed Lola's so much. There's not one thing I can complain about. Our server was excellent. She was friendly and knowledgeable and gave good recommendations. We started with the Yellowtail Tuna ceviche and we were completely blown away by how flavorful it was. It is not apart of their regular menu and it won't be available long so get there and try it asap! My honey ordered the Bixby Burrito and she enjoyed it a lot. I ordered the grilled salmon tacos (which is pictured) and they were delicious, along with the black beans. The Jamaica was really good too. Just the right amount of sweetness. I would definitely recommend this place and I look forward to visiting again soon. read more

I appreciate the great variety of vegan options. I had the vegan enchiladas and was able to enjoy some vegan sour cream on top! Extremely large portions, which is a huge plus. The side of plantains was also a nice touch. They stay open late, making this a great spot for those late nights when all you want is a big plate of food. Lots of seating, friendly staff, and moderate wait time. Parking is a bit rough, but there is a small lot next door. read more

Lola's ended up being a happy accident for us. We originally had plans to eat at Ammatoli, but they had an unexpected emergency closure due to a plumbing issue bummer at first, but it worked out for the best because we had an amazing meal at Lola's. We were a party of four, and everyone had been here a few times before except me, so I was excited to finally check it out. Here's what we ordered: Special of the Day: Pork Shank with Green Mole Sauce - My bf ordered this and really enjoyed it. The plate was HUGE. If you're considering this, just know it can easily be shared by 2-3 people. Mexico City Street Corn - Shared by the table and it was just okay. Salmon Tacos - Light, flavorful, and nicely balanced. A great option if you're in the mood for something a little lighter but still satisfying. Mango Avocado Salad with Grilled Shrimp - My order and it was fantastic. So much flavor, perfectly balanced ,10/10 and an easy favorite. Cochinita Pibil - My gf's go-to order. Regular & Mango Margaritas - Both were tasty and well made. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and I can see how this place could easily get packed, especially during HH. I unfortunately can't recall our server's name, but she did a fantastic job, and all the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. Great food, fun atmosphere, and a save-the-night kind of dinner. We'll definitely be back! read more

Taco Tuesday date night was so good! We got seated quick, our server was great and the tacos were so tasty. The chips and salsa are always good here, especially the "crack" salsa which this spot is known for. As for Taco Tuesday, we ordered the Drop Kick Tacos, Third Eye Blind Shrimp tacos, and a couple of the Mexican Coca Cola glazed carnitas tacos. You can't go wrong with any of these. The Dropkicks are potato tacos with chorizo and lots of yummy toppings. I'd definitely get them again. The TEB shrimp was also a winner and the carnitas were so flavorful. The crowd is also chill here and we had fun people watching and hanging with locals and visitors alike. We'll be back again soon! read more

I visited Lola's on July 7th for the first time for a late lunch. I ordered the following (prices as of July 2025): Large Baja Salad ($14.95) + Grilled Chicken (+$4) - Surprisingly very tasty. I enjoyed my Baja salad and definitely recommend adding grilled chicken for extra protein. It comes with crispy romaine lettuce, black beans, avocado, pico de gallo, queso cotija, toasted heirloom corn, tortilla chips, and pepita like dressing. All the ingredients tasted flesh and complemented each other. It wasn't too salty but had just the right amount of flavor. Very delicious and I would recommend this. Jarritos Guava Soda ($14.75) - I enjoy drinking jarritos! I've tried other flavors but this was my first time trying the guava flavor. It didn't disappoint but the guava flavor is on the lighter side. Interior: This is a cute Mexican restaurant that is nicely decorated with tables inside. Customer Service: A sad miss. Our waitress was really nice and had some good recs when we ordered. However, although we came at an off time and there wasn't many patrons, it took some time to get everything from taking our orders, receiving our meals, getting the check, getting the boxes, etc. We had to flag them down several times and they were not that attentive. Parking: The shop is located right next to a paid lot next door. Fortunately, there was one spot left when we arrived! All in all, I wouldn't mind coming back to try out more food. But just keep in mind, if you have a more limited lunch time - this place may not be the best for you. read more

Cute dine-in Mexican spot off of 4th Street, quick service and has a full menu of all the greatest hits - tacos, burritos, enchiladas and their signature moles. We weren't super hungry when we came in for lunch so ordered a shared plate of handmade taquitos and one of their holiday specials, the tamale platter. Food came out quickly so the taquitos were still nice and crispy, which I prefer before they inevitably get soggy and smothered with sauce. The tamales were okay, but I am coming to the realization that maybe I just don't Iike the maize flavor of tamales. What I will definitely come back for is their robust menu of agave cocktails - they make their own syrup in house, and every flavor sounds delicious. I ordered their more popular Guava Margarita with mezcal instead of tequila, and it's one of the better drinks I've had in a long time. All I need is one of these margaritas, which are offered for $8-10 during their weekday 3-6 PM happy hour, along with a basket of chips and salsa, and I can happily stay for a long time. read more

Plenty of choices for seating. Outside patio, inside, and back patio. We sat in the back patio. Very cute. Clean. Service was outstanding. Our server was very attentive. Chips and salsa were good. I really enjoyed their salsa. We ordered a pitcher of margaritas. I hardly see Chicken Milanesa on the menu so when I seen it I knew I had to order it. I also haven't had chicken milanesa in years. Chicken Milanesa was a 10/10. The chicken was perfectly lightly fried and juicy. The garlic tomato sauce they put on top was a great addition. The rice was so delicious. You can really taste the garlic in it. I love garlic. I would definitely order this again and I love that it came with caesar salad. I'll definitely be back. read more

Nice to have Lola's delivered via Uber Eats. We rarely do delivery (except pizza) so this was a real treat. I must say I was surprised to have it arrive piping hot. Quality vs dining in very similar. Nice surprise! It also arrived quickly. Compliments for both Lola's (packaging) and Uber Eats! Chips and the Green Crack, excellent as always! We ordered side Plantains, again excellent as if we had ordered dine in! Carnitas Plate very tasty. Lola's definitely makes the best Carnitas around. Tender, not fatty or chewy. You can tell it's been cooked right for hours! My husband had the Mole Rose Plate (Steak) and loved it! Our son ordered the Al Pastor Burrito. Of course as usual, lots left over for another meal! Lolo's is one of our favorite local restaurants. Great food! Dining in, great margaritas, that we missed with having our food delivered! read more

Im disappointed tbh. I was excited to try this place because of TikTok but we didn't have the best experience. Our waiter was a tall young guy with curly hair. We found a small wood stick in our taco and when we showed him he said "did you grab it from the garden" that was next to us?? Wtf?? No dude.. and then he told us he messed up punching in our order and interrupted us mid ordering and left to fix it and came back. Super distracted and sporadic server. Didn't apologize for the stick in our food that we could've choked on and only checked on us 1 time throughout our entire meal. Aside from the poor service, the food was very mid.. so were the drinks... overall just wouldn't return. read more

Authentic Mexican cuisine in the beautiful city of Long Beach. Came in on a Saturday evening and it was busy but we were seated after 15 minutes. Friendly staff and casual decorations. Smaller restaurant with two patios. We opted for booth seating. My kids shared enchiladas and a cheese quesadilla. No complaints. For starters we had to have their cuetes and a side of guacamole.Fresh avocados made for a delicious guacamole.The cuetes consisted of Jalapenos filled with sour cream and cheese wrapped in bacon. Super yummy and not too spicy. Also shared chile verde and a taco trio. The chile verde meat was a little undercooked but the flavors were good and authentic. The best taco from trio was hands down the carnitas. Well cooked with a hint of coke. Also had a michelada which I think has too much mix. I couldn't taste the beer. But their house margaritas are solid. You can taste the real agave tequila with just the perfect blend of flavors. We left happy and content. read more

So every time I go, I order the butternut squash and this time I decided to do something different. I got the vegetarian burrito and it was actually a little too spicy for me. Boyfriend got the enchiladas. Everything was OK, but I kind of wish I got the butternut squash enchiladas. Otherwise the service was good. I like the outdoor seated environment and we will be back. read more

Tried to go get some chorizo in San Pedro but the location is closed on Mondays. Tarted to head home and decided to stop at Lola's for lunch. It was margarita Monday so hubby ordered that, only $5! He chose the Birria Guadalajara with flour tortillas. Whole garlicky beans and Mexican rice. I had the Chili Verde with flour tortillas, refried beans, and buttery white rice. Serving sizes were large and we both have leftovers for another meal. Lola's is one of our favorite places and I usually try something different each time. read more

Visited Lola's last night for taco Tuesday to try out their tacos. First came the chips and salsa, the roasted pepper salsa was pretty spicy but their green creamy salsa was really good. We got the carne asada, chicken, veggie (squash/calabacitas), birria and carnitas. The carne asada and chicken were good, the veggie was also yummy and flavorful. Between birria and carnitas, the carnitas was juicy and flavorful and the birria which was more just the meat without cooking it birria style was super dry (almost no sauce and no consommé either). We were also gonna order the mole to share as it won awards but we were so full so next time. Staff are nice, there is seating outside in the patio out back, inside tables and also in front outside. They are dog friendly outside. Re: parking here - limited parking on 4th street but there is a lot just next door but beware it's like $4.20 an hour read more

Haven't been in years but forgot how much I missed...and the green crack sauce! Had yummy sea bass ceviche and mole enchiladas. The ceviche is my favorite, I actually realized I don't like the taste of mole that much but it was authentic. The margs were fire, not too sweet. The michelada was a thick one too, which is how I like them! Server was great and sitting outside was perfect. Having a cute date to me was as even better. read more
