I chose the booth thinking it would be big enough. Unfortunately it's a tight squeeze if you're working with a bit of stomach!! Lol. The booth was an awkward shape. I felt trapped, but that's my fault not theirs. Just don't make the same mistake I made!! Patric'ia was very attentive to our needs and friendly. She made the visit pleasant!! We ordered fajitas, birria tacos, nachos, queso fries, chicken enchiladas, a burrito, calamari and etc. My chicken enchiladas were good with the rice. They were a little bland though. So I had to add a few things.. The fajita veggies were on the side and we enjoyed them also, it was enough to share. My daughter wished the queso fries were cheesier, but I think all the cheese fell to the bottom of the dish. So maybe getting it on the side is better. My sister said her chicken nachos were tasty with the guacamole. The calamari weren't my favorite because of the breading, but they were ok. My mom's boyfriend had never had birria before and he was happy with his tacos. He crushed those! My daughter's burrito was a good portion and she liked it. My mom enjoyed her fajitas as well!! We all had a great time and another gentleman who was sitting next to us who we were chatting with got up to leave, and surprised us with paying the bill for everyone!! We were extremely blessed and so thankful! That special treat made the visit even better!! It was so unexpected, but I guess we were at the right place at the right time!! Check them out!!

When you walk in, it smells absolutely amazing and the staff is always extremely friendly. The decor is very inviting and they're always playing great music! Since I was craving tacos, I decided on The Famous Tacos La Piedad, which included three spicy taqueria-style tacos, fresh guacamole and stewed beans. The tacos included one grilled steak, one grilled chicken and carnitas and they were absolutely delicious! My favorite was the carnitas for sure. The stewed beans were amazing as well! I ate the entire bowl lol! I also ordered a tamale but I wasn't a fan. I would've preferred no red sauce or cheese. If you're looking for great Mexican food and wonderful service, definitely stop in! You will not be disappointed!!!

They were very good at refilling the chips and salsa/white sauce while we waited. Not pictured since I devoured everything and forgot to take a picture but the food was really delicious. I got the deluxe burrito which came with two large burritos and also had a birria taco. Not the best birria I've ever had but was still pretty good 4/5. I did get a picture of the reason I came here which was the soft serve margarita. It was pineapple flavored so tasted exactly like a dope whip with alcohol 10/10. Was pretty loud in there with a birthday, multiple large parties and the o all round business of cinco de mayo. Overall I would recommend this location but mainly for the soft serve margarita which I haven't been able to find this side of the water.

There were three birthdays that the crew went over and sang an enthusiastic happy birthday for, so it may be a popular place to host a birthday party (not sure if the shots of tequila were free for the b-day guest).

The tacos and margarita weren't anything crazy (not quite a Cali street taco) but I asked for fresh jalapeños and hot sauce (made in house) and it put the finishing touches on my dinner.

We came here to celebrate a birthday, and it ended up being one of those meals where everything just hit. First off, those margaritas are no joke. Massive, flavorful, and strong in the best way. Bonus: they do $2 off specialty margs on Mondays, which is dangerous knowledge now that I have it. I went with the Coco Loco Margarita (1800 coconut tequila, coconut milk, triple sec, and sweetened flaked coconut), and WOW. It was creamy, refreshing, and honestly tasted like a tropical vacation. My friends ordered the House Marg, Peach Sangria Marg and the Spicy Pineapple & Cilantro Marg, all were just as impressive. The spicy one had a great kick without being overwhelming, and the peach option was super smooth and fruity. Before we even ordered, the complimentary chips, salsa, and that famous white sauce came out ... and let me tell you, that white sauce is to die for. I could've eaten that all night. For my dinner, I had the asada enchiladas, and I'm still thinking about them. Perfectly cooked grilled steak laid over cheesy enchiladas with verde sauce, plus rice and black beans. I loved that the steak was on top because once I got full, I could still pick at the protein (elite move). My friends got arroz con pollo, carne asada tacos, and the wildest dish on the table ... the El Molcajete. It came out sizzling in a stone bowl loaded with shrimp, beef, chicken, chorizo, cactus, and all the fixings. We all shared bites and it was unreal. We ended the night with the staff singing happy birthday and completely embarrassing my friend with a sombrero and a candle in his shot. Incredible. Definitely will be coming back, especially for that margarita deal and birthdays!

I could not rave about this place enough. My group had the guacamole and tuna tostada to start. Both were very well curated dishes. We also enjoyed the different variations of steak and the chicken tinga. I am not one to order a chicken dish out at a restaurant, but oh. my. gosh. It was phenomenal. HIGHLY recommend.

Lindsey, our bartender, was an absolute superstar. She took wonderful care of us throughout the evening and really made us feel special. Great service is about more than taking an order and keeping a glass full. Lindsey understood that distinction. The Executive Chef also came over to welcome us and started our evening with a fantastic mini tostada served with house-made guacamole and escabeche. It was an unexpected and much-appreciated touch, and a great introduction to what was ahead. We started with the Wood-Fired Wings, featured on their Wood-Fired Wednesday menu: one pound of hormone-free, all-natural organic whole chicken wings with a choice of roasted jalapeño & pineapple, chile de arbol "buffalo," white peach BBQ, or Caesar. I don't throw around superlatives lightly, but these are the best wings in the 757, and it's not even close! Next came the Tenderloin Asador, roasted garlic-marinated beef tenderloin served on a skewer with salsa cruda and salsa criolla. The beef was tender, beautifully cooked, and absolutely delicious. We also tried the Charred Brussels Sprouts with ancho sweet potato purée, maple-Dijon vinaigrette, pepitas, and goat cheese. There is a lot going on in that description, but somehow it all works together. Yummy! For dinner, my wife selected the Bone-In Pork Ribeye, served over mashed potatoes with peanut salsa macha and grilled onions. The dish was as visually appealing as it was delicious. The pork was cooked to perfection, everything was seasoned properly, and she enjoyed it very much. I ordered the Argentinian Grilled Fish, served over mashed potatoes with grilled greens, chimichurri, and almonds. I really enjoyed both the presentation and the amazing flavor of this dish. The fish arrived piping hot, perfectly cooked, and properly seasoned. Everything on the plate worked beautifully together in that rare way that is so wonderful to encounter when a dish looks every bit as good as it tastes. Naturally, celebrating 26 years of marriage required a little dessert, so we finished with the Chocolate Crème Brûlée, made with dark Colombian chocolate. Interestingly, it reminded me of pot de crème because it was served without the usual layer of hardened caramelized sugar. Not a complaint, just an observation. I enjoyed it very much. From the banter we shared with Lindsey, to the Executive Chef taking a moment to welcome us, to the atmosphere, the Happy Hour selections, and the consistently excellent food, Quemar delivered something considerably better than simply a good dinner. If you have never tried Quemar, you are missing out on more than another night out. You are missing an experience that deserves to be savored.

Today was our first visit to Lola's and I will say we weren't disappointed…read more First let me say it's early October and the beach visitors are still around but nothing like summer. I say this to highly suggest- Reservations. We had them and glad we did. Actually we arrived about 45 minutes early but they were able to get us seated. What I saw during my stay was a place that stayed busy. My guess the entire time seating was 85-90% full. So again reservations are highly recommended. As for service: it wasn't bad. Our server was very friendly but extremely busy. I do wish he checked on us a bit more. My tea glass ended up empty and wasn't refilled. But again, he didn't seem to be slacking. As for the location: Has a large bar and appeared to have a large selection of spirits. Now I will say this - parking could be a challenge as well. Just something to keep in mind. It was full when we arrived. Now the food: Very good and came to the table quickly. I had the Shrimp and Rice and the wifey had the Chicken and Rice. As for the shrimp. It had a very nice flavor. Each shrimp was firm and a decent size. I think I got 6-7 for my plate. The chicken was good. Very tender but didn't really have a flavor, other than chicken. It lacked any real spice flavor . But when mixed into the rice the meal tasted very good. So I hope you heed my advice with parking and reservations but do give this a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Happy hour was 3-6pm I think, and there were 2 taco specials on the board. I'm not sure if it was valid or not.. There was one person at the bar taking orders, serving drinks, and pretty much running the place. She was very busy. The anxiety of watching her try to handle everything made me a little uncomfortable. She was doing her best, and kuddos to her for not flipping a table and walking out. She was nice, but she asked us every 3-4 minutes if we knew what we were ordering. It was very aggravating. I don't think she realized after several times we were over it. The inside is pretty much a bar setting with a few booths. It's very dated and low-key kind of gloomy inside. I'd say this is a bar for locals, not really a restaurant. It's definitely the kind of food you could eat if you had a few drinks, maybe. But sober, heck no!! Lol. Ugh. I was excited to try them because they have some 5 star reviews, but it wasn't what I expected. When it was time to eat she went and got the cook from outside. We ordered 2 burgers and fries, and chicken nachos. We left and came back to pick up our order and the seats at the bar was packed at this point. The waitress met us as we walked in, with our food. I was hungry, so I tried the food in the car. The burger was definitely a frozen patty and thick as heck. It looked decent kinda sorta, in a way, maybe, just a little bit. Idk what to say. The fries were crispy but awkwardly greasy!! There was one tiny tomato on my burger and a huge onion that was a little moldy. I've never seen someone use a slice of onion this big on a burger. The burger definitely needed seasoning. I think if it had flavor it would have been decent. I'll give the burger a 4/10. My sister got the chicken nachos and she was not happy. Whatever mystery beans they had made were disgusting. They tasted old or something was off about them. The guacamole was a little sour tasting also, and the chicken was flavorless. She tried so hard to make it work, she even re-cooked the beans and it just didn't help. 2/10!!! She spent $25 and felt it was the worse decision she made all day. I wish I was exaggerating or something, but this is actual factual. The prices are reasonable, I'll say that. But it's definitely certain things to stay away from on the menu. I don't think we'd ever return. Maybe the tacos are better than what we had ordered. If you're looking for a drink maybe things would be better. I think they specialize in drinks over food!?

It's a bar a little dive kinda spot I had ordered the bacon cheeseburger for my boy, the grilled chicken nachos for myself. I can appreciate that they didn't put the toppings on the nachos or burger. My sister has gotten some kind of burger also lol. I get dropped off gave my son his food looks like it's about to be good lol until he heats it up for a second, I put all the fixings on my nachos right. Believing things was about to hit smh nope.. my kid said mom I appreciate you bringing me something to eat home but.... The burger tastes like nothing was like chewing sawdust bacon was the only thing to taste alright, fries were ok though. now lol for my nachos looks can be deceiving. My lettuce was brown and wilted, was supposed to be like a refried beans I guess ‍ they were kidney beans looked those. When i say they smelled like I was taken back by the look of things but when my crazy self tasted that mess my lawdt smh had my stomach doing flips. Also the guacamole tasted like that was old and sour. I have had guac with too much lemon or lime juice in it, this was like past its time only looked ok due to the lemon juice or whatever. Will not be doing that again. The ambiance was chill a few of those slot games bar area in the middle of the place a few tables around it nothing to really hype up. I will say even though we didn't care for what we had, maybe it was a bad day. ‍ Who knows other things may be good if we stop past that beauty store again, I'd go and try the lumpia or fried fish taco. Was told that they taste really good. lol honestly y'all go be the judge for yourselves could have been an off day.
