They are only serving to go, and there were no views of the ocean, but oh wow. The food was fresh and delicious. Got a burrito de adobada and one taco of the same meat. Yum! read more

All I can say is STOP HERE if you are anywhere in the area. It's a must visit for us when we are in town, sometimes coming a couple times a week. Their shrimp tacos are out of this world and their hot salsa is delish but honestly, everything I've ever ordered has been yummy! read more

Lolita's Taqueria - Shrimp tacos, rice and beans and a mineragua at the picnic tables. - Mexican Near Me - Smith River, California

Great down home mexican food! It was great finding this place close to the neighborhood.

order a carnitas taco with cheese and lettuce only....friend is allergic to onions and cilantro and a carnitas burrito with 4 hot salsas....i order there a couple times a month on my trip back from brookings....gave the taco to my friend...she called me and said she couldn't eat it...covered with cilantro and onions....my carnitas meat was sooo tough and crunchy it was unedible...and short 2 salsas which might have made it bareable. yea...the food has been great in the past. maybe this was a one off but i feel like i just threw $14 out the window AND tipped on top of it. read more

Amazing food! Always good service! Quick and delicious! I go here a lot and everything I try is very good quality!

Food was good I recommend the shrimp tacos. It is a small establishment so the dining experience includes picnic tables. Don't be put off by the appearance the food was fresh and good. read more

Stopped by just to get a snack. So glad we did! We had beef and chicken tacos. The beef taco was flavorful. The chicken taco was AMAZING! Best seasoning I've tasted that was the closest to my traditional Mexican flavors. An extremely light California/ New Mexico Chile flavor in the juices. Delicious! Will stop again if we go up on hwy 101 near the Smith River. read more

Amazing food!! Try the Tamales!!! 10/10 right on the ocean and beautiful. friendly staff read more

The customer service is always top notch when we go there. The food is excellent. I would highly recommend the green salsa over the red.

Stopped by to grab some tacos during a road trip. They are honestly quite overpriced for tacos. The Asada and the Carnitas were pretty good. The meat was flavorful and nicely seasoned and the tacos were pretty stuffed. The Shrimp taco was not bad. The shrimp was cooked nicely and the veggies were fresh. The fish taco was terrible; dry, smelly and tasteless. The Salsa Roja and Salsa Verde are both really nice. The rice and beans however are mehhh and I'd totally skip them. read more

Best food around, not one bad choice and by far best ceviche on the coast! Tacos taquitos and more

Solid! Props! Seems to be a favorite of the locals that's always a good sign. Our food was really good! Heads up, seems that indoor dining is currently closed, call ahead and order takeout! read more

Fantastic food served quickly. I had the carnitas burrito, horchata, and churros and all were excellent. Go for the hottest sauce you can tolerate! read more

We ordered two burritos, a beef with sour cream and a shrimp with guacamole. Well, there was none. They redid the beef with my husband's insistence but they said for sure there's guacamole in the shrimp. That wasn't true, for there was none. I'd figure I didn't need extra calories for that and let it go. Food is ok, we had better burritos elsewhere. Service was so so. You can only eat outside.It's windy and may not be the best place to eat. read more

I have a soft spot for dives, thus Lolita's fits the bill perfectly. Located right off highway 101 in a strip of unimpressive-appearing businesses, I marched on despite my husbands protests, convinced we were in for a treat (solid 5 stars on Yelp didn't hurt!). The interior matches the exterior, but it was clean. Seating consists of both booths and tables, and we opted for the former, finding it comfortable as can be. I was staaaaaarving and, waiting in line behind an indecisive couple, mesmerized by the pictures flitting across Lolita's electronic menu. A colorful display of fruit and chile powder popped up, and I noted it as a must. Sadly, when I finally got to order they informed me that particular dish wasn't available. Sigh. My heart broke a little, but I settled for the albondigas (why is soup always so much better at restaurants?), a fish taco, and taco salad with carnitas (I swear I sound like a pig in the majority of my restaurant reviews, but I'd just completed a thirteen-mile hike, okay?! Don't judge me). Upon seating ourselves, we were immediately served warm corn tortilla chips, followed by my albondigas shortly thereafter. It was a fantastic starter, especially topped with cilantro and cabbage from the salsa bar. The taco salad arrived in a fried flour tortilla, and I mostly ate the salad itself, though could not resist munching a bit of the tortilla (delish, I just avoid those blasted carbs). The fish tacos, though, are a requirement. Accompanied by a mix of crunchy, fresh lettuce, cabbage, and carrots, along with a fat lemon wedge, the real delight is their perfectly seasoned and cooked juicy white fish (cod?), and creamy, dreamy dressing. Man. Everything was great, but if I had known what I was getting with that taco, I may have opted to just order ten of 'em. My husband had the steak fajitas, which were great, however I think that dish is pretty similar most places. The meat was appreciably tender, though, and the refried beans excellent. Their salsa bar offered generous options, and I tried every one, finding the spiciest to be my favorite. There were also pickled vegetables, the aforementioned soup toppings, and limes. Worth noting, is the inclusion of complimentary peruano beans, along with deep fried onion and jalapeños. Myriad drinks are available; including some Mexican specialties (my husband was pleased they had Coke in glass bottles), even beer and wine. Prices are fantastic, especially fajitas for $12. All employees were extremely friendly, and the short wait for food once we ordered was impressive. This is perfect for a quick break from the road (take out is also available, though I think there might have been a nominal fee). read more

Time to support this local business! We love the deluxe burrito with green sauce and decided to also try the carne asada plate and churros today. The carne asada plate was pretty good but man who knew how much we would love the churros! I believe they have dulce de leche inside of them and yum. We usually take ours to go and they always have it ready super fast! read more

Hole in the wall gem. Went there on a Sunday and the place was packed with seemingly regulars and new customers alike. Food is affordable and good but the service could do better though. Waited half an hour for 2 combo plates, another 15 for a takeout order that they forgot. The place offers Mexican and American food, which is a plus. It's a place to stop by when you're passing through this town. Ordered Pork Tamale and Pork Enchilada combo plate, Chile Relleno and Pork Enchilada combo plate, Albondigas and Carne Asada burrito to go, which was a size of one swole arm. The pork was crispy, tender and well seasoned. They have a good selection of drinks too. read more

Excellent chicken burrito here. Super sized so I recommend cutting in half to share or save. Partner got asada burrito and since we were "eating - while- starved" those two burritos went down fine. Starvation averted! Thank you Lolita's Taqueria. read more

Their taco salads are the best I've ever had. Veggies are fresh and a good mix (more than just iceberg lettuce). They have awesome salsa and really good albondigas. Love that they have a drive thru/walk up window to order/pickup your food. Service is friendly. Get food from here regularly. read more

A great little place in the middle of nowhere! Everything we tried was way better than average food. Worth planning ahead to arrive at lunch or dinner time. Delicious well made rellenos, enchiladas and three types of salsas. Lunch specials are a particular bargain. Really friendly accommodating staff from Jalisco. read more

I love going here. Im a local and we have a few restaurants that serve mexican food but not as good as Lolita's. Definitely worth the 10-15 min drive! Always my number one choice, they are always so nice and helpful! 10/10. Hands down one of my favorite! read more

Wonderful little Mexican restaurant! Great selection of beer, delicious food and awesome, friendly staff. We hear this place was good so checked it out. My tostada was so fresh and the cotija cheese made it divine. My dude got the shrimp and bacon quesadilla. It was seriously the best quesadilla EVER. The whole group agreed it was the tastiest choice. I didn't taste the meat but was holy yum without it. Others got the carne asada burrito and said it was great. Will definitely visit again when in town! read more

I am a local to this location and I go there 1 -2 times a week. The burritos are monsters. Top notch

Amazing little place; we were just driving past and turned around. Service was at the counter with a nice young man. Good menu good veggie menu too. I had nachos and my husband had taco salad; huge portions and great food. Close enough to Brookings you could take the to go food camping with you! Will come here again. Fresh chopped condiments and great salsa. read more

Lolita's Taqueria - My supposedly small plate of nachos! Wow! - Mexican Near Me - Smith River, California

Small little mom and pop Mexican joint that does an exceptional job. En route back to Cali on 101, we stumbled upon this place. And boy...were we pleasantly surprised. (It might be a little tough to spot since it's in a tiny shopping strip right off of the highway.) They have a ton of options so it may get a little overwhelming, but I can highly recommend the fish tacos. They were fresh, perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. The dinner plates come with seasoned rice and beans as well making the dinner plate a very filling option. At only $8-9/plate, this place not only provides great food but also great value. Be sure to check it out if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Decent tacos and tamale. Big portions with low price. Had to ding them for all the styrofoam to go boxes. Would be great to use compostable.

Yummy Shrimp Tacos and Shredded Beef Enchiladas. Window service for easy, safe takeout. Thank you!

I have been ordering for years, ordered just last week, always the same thing, this time they more than doubled the price. then when I say something they hang up on me. needless to say won't be ordering again, they should of warned us we were placed the order, they didn't. they should of tried something to make it right, they didn't even care. especially with a long time customer that orders 5x or more a month. fine dining prices for food truck quality! read more

Great Asada and Potato Tacos! They have homemade shells and are big, so order light if you want street size. Friendly and happy people who serve, makes this a definite stop for me when I'm in Crescent City read more

We were driving up to Oregon and I read the reviews on Lolita's. We stopped for lunch and the reviews were accurate. I had the enchilada special, one beef and one chicken with rice and beans. They were very good and reasonably priced. My husband had the steak nachos and it was huge. It's in the middle of nowhere by an RV park. It seems popular with locals too. I recommend it for traditional Down Home Mexican Food. read more

Really good old school Mexican food, from the salsa to the chips, it was so good. Little hole in the wall but damn it tasted good.
