    Omg when can we go again?!!! This has been one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the city , definitely for Brooklyn though my number 1 and 2 are in Manhattan. Food: 5/5 legit loved everything that I had the meat was well seasoned and everything was nice and fresh, I especially love all the guac and fixings we got on the side absolutely delicious! Service: 5/5 I was in a bit of a rush and they were able to give us somewhat speedy service and were super friends Drinks also 5/5 I need to cone back here for happy hour! Ambiance 4/5: I think the inside was beautiful but a bit in the smaller side so I cant imagine how it is when they are very busy Overall a great place for a date night or to catch some drinks with the gworlssss.

    Come for the aesthetic...and that's about it. Lola's is such a cute addition to Flatbush with colorful decor, providing a great place to take photos for social media and a good place to grab drinks during dinner. I've visited three times, trying to give them a chance at winning me over, but can't find anything stand-out about this restaurant other than the atmosphere. The price is pretty high for the amount of food and quality you get, and the food itself isn't that flavorful. This most recent visit I had opted for the mole enchiladas and there weren't any stand out flavors other than sweet. The staff was the redeeming point, always checking in to see if anything was needed and not rushing you even if closing time was approaching. Being in Brooklyn and having plenty of Mexican restaurants at our disposal, it's really hard for me to justify dining here when I can get better value and stronger flavors elsewhere.

    Very good! I enjoy my sweet plantain bowl and I'm not even a fan of sweet plantains. Will definitely go back again.

    Mole Enchilada: $17.95

    BLUF: Old food. Our first experience with Lola's Mexican Restaurant could have been much better. We ordered two dishes to go. Most of the food we received seemed to be at least a day old. Mole Enchilada: $17.95 ($19.54 with tax). The chicken was flavorless and very dry. The mole on the chicken had also dried to a powder-like substance, so the mole barely helped the chicken. The rice was dry and somewhat hard, and the black bean sauce had congealed into a jelly-like substance. Shrimp Burrito: $15.95 ($17.37) with tax. Over-salted. The shrimp was fresh, but the rice and black beans were the same as other dish -- the rice was dry and somewhat hard, and the black bean sauce had congealed into a jelly-like substance. Service was polite. There is a 3% cash discount.

    This place was an amazing and unexpected surprise. We arrived 90 minutes before they closed but they were kind enough to let us in and order. The waiter was very friendly and fun to chat with. With half my party only being able to speak spanish it was a great surprise when the waiter spoke spanish as well. We ordered a few drinks and all got chicken enchiladas de mole. The enchiladas were amazing we did wish that there was more mole sauce on it and the rice a little softer but overall it was really delicious 4.5/5. I didn't enjoy the mango margarita as much 3/5 but the mojito was nice 4/5. The mojito could have used less mint leaves as it felt like a lot. The restaurant itself was nice and fun. They had space inside and outside to eat. They had a little bar not that you can sit there but to view them making the drinks which was fun. lol

    Small portions, very tasty

    Great service, atmosphere, the food was fresh and tasty. However the portion is small and light, ideal spot for cocktails, and apps or a quick lunch.

    Carne Asada .. no beans w/tortillas. Rated 7/10. Meat was very good, not dry but more like sliced roast beef.

    Food overall is very good for the price. An appetizer and 2 entree came to $50 (no beverage). Guacamole and chips appetizer rates 6/10 was small and missing the tomatoes onions and jalapeños. Desperately need salt and lime. Carne asada rated 8/10 was sliced very thin but tender and juicy. Rice was cooked perfectly not mushy. It comes with tortillas grilled onions, guacamole, and beans. (I'm not a fan of beans so I ordered without). The Molé rates 8/10. The molè sauce was more on the sweet side, which was not what we expected, and also missing some spice. The seating is limited on the inside but they do offer outside dining. The kitchen closes at 7pm sharp, felt a bit rushed. They have a full bar and some interesting cocktails but we did not have time to try any like the kitchen they close at 7. We'll surly be back for take out.

    They bought me a big grocery store looking salsa. Def was def Pico De Gallo & Chips which they bought after.

    A few quick things about this spot. Ambiance: Open, spacious and bright. Bathrooms was private and clean which is always a plus. Typical commercial Mexican flair, nothing really stood out. Service: I feel like we had a waiter who just started working with them yesterday! It's like he didn't "get it". Like it's ok to swap salsa for pico de gallo, lemon (the yellow one) is what I wanted with my water not lime. And it's weird to watch us eat while you lean on the bar. I'm not sure what was going on because he came to us about 20 minutes into our meal and said his shift was ending and then never left. Weird... Food: Who shreds the fish in a "grilled" fish taco? They do!! The lettuce didn't look fresh either and I had pieces of the lettuce core on my taco. It was tasteless too, I had to add so much hot sauce and that mayo looking sauce to eat it. Hopefully this place gets better but for now, skip this spot.

    The thing I liked the most.  Why is there broccoli in the taco bowl.  Missing was jalapeño and sour cream.  Plus the place was freezing

    The drinks were on point but it was cold inside. My taco bowl did not need broccoli and huge slices of carrots. Missing was jalapeño and sour cream,

    Came here for dinner with my husband. We ordered the quasidilla as an appetizer. It was good but very small. The list of appetizers isn't that big. I was surprised child and salsa was a paid appetizer...usually Mexican restaurants give that complimentary. I had the chimichangas and my husband had the pork chops. The extra little pico de gallo for my husband was $2 extra. The portions were a nice size - it wasn't too filling. The service was pretty good. It's a cute spot with nice decor. The music was a little loud but it was Friday night. It was pretty busy while we were there. Definitely a cute little spot, I'd go back.

    We came for a quick lunch run ... I would drive by and its so inviting i said why not . Its very pretty inside . Girly even . We didn't order much (some guac / chicken tacos) but I do remember their lemonade was so refreshing, Not overly sweet . but I couldn't really stay to try the menu but what we had was decent . My waiter also didn't speak english, or even really understood us - Unsure ig i will return .... Maybe not intentionally- But Im also not really a huge mexican lover and I already have a spot but it's definitely worth a try if you're in the area .

    So very pleased with the addition of Lola's to my neighborhood! The food is made fresh, and the flavors are quite good! It's not the bestest Mexican food i've ever had, but the taste and flavors are there, the service is friendly, the ingredients are quality, and i didn't need to add much salsa. I personally recommend: - ground beef burrito - not explicitly on the menu, but i ordered it over the phone w/ no problems. *Spoiler alert -- it was GREAT! Nicely seasoned, and wrapped with love - the shrimp burrito - the chicken quesadilla (this is a hit w/ my 2-year-old) - the side of yellow rice & black bean (tasty, and the beans are soft enough for my 8-month old) - camarones al ajillo - just enough garlic to have you licking your fingers! After ordering takeout from here 3 times already, i must say i'm a local fan. Def recommend Lola's for when you want good Mexican food that doesn't make you feel heavy. And my whole family enjoys it!

    Great food, service, prices. Loved the chimichangas and the flan. They also have homemade chips and salsa which are fantastic.

    I was honestly shocked by how much I loved this place! We did the tasting menu, which was $65 per…read moreperson, and I also ordered the passion fruit cocktail. It was fab! Most of all, what I really appreciated with every bite is that I wanted more and that it was so unique compared to anything else that I had ever tried. I thought the tasting menu was a really good deal, but you should also consider booking just a la carte because everything was so solid. You can tell when the chips served alongside the guacamole are so delicious and so unique that the rest of the meal is going to be incredible. I will say that it did seem slightly understaffed. Our waiters did the best they could, but dinner took longer than expected. It was still a great experience for both those on dates and those there with friends!

    4.5 stars, 5 for food and 4 for service…read more Food was delish! My favorites were the gem salad elote and the guac. We also got the crispy snapper taco and the duck to share. I loved all the sauces that they give to each table that I couldn't decide which one I liked more. The drinks were very good as well. We got the deconstructed margarita and I really enjoyed it as well as the pina colada cocktail. Service was a bit on the slower side but to be fair, there weren't many people working the tables. Also one of our dishes got served to the wrong table and then never came :( definitely wanna come back to try the tuna tartare which was the dish that didn't get delivered.
