Service was slow even though they weren't full. Food was only luke warm for appetizers and main course. All beers on tap were pouring warm so they were not available. certain appetizers and main course options were not available. all in all a miserable experience. I wont b e going back

FANTASTIC service! It was my daughter's birthday and our server took great care of us. As someone that has worked in hospitality for years I really appreciate top notch service. Thank you!

Extremely nice staff. Tasty margaritas. Chips and salsa sampler was very good. We sat on the porch area which was lovely. Dinner entrees we're good but not great. We still enjoyed our evening and would definitely go back.

Spicy shrimp was very spicy but delicious. The place is definitely pricey but I would love to go back for a happy hour. The bread that comes with the queso was also incredible.

I was walking to little man ice cream when I stumbled across this place and walked in just to be turned away because they were at full capacity for the next few hours. It looked so good that I made a reservation for that night, and showed back up! The drinks were really good, we had the watermelon margarita, and then some spicy ones, both great cocktails. Must trys: the grilled oysters, 10/10. You may be put off because the description says it has dried beef ontop but it gives it so much flavor and you can barely even see it. the grilled octopus was really good. It came with some sauces and what looked like sesame seeds, not super traditional but we loved it. We also got the taco board, with regular asada and the meat qualify was great. It comes with some green cilantro rice that was tasty. I would give 5 stars but we ordered the mussels and they were extremely fishy. Not like come from the ocean fishy, but like, not fresh fishy. We each took one bite and put it off to the side. The server was nice and refunded, but I hate sending food back.

I had my bridal shower at Lola and they did a fantastic job hosting us. We made a reservation ahead of time, they gave us a nice big table, and let us bring our own decorations in. They were incredibly accommodating and friendly, I highly recommend! Food and drinks were delicious as well.

We showed up 45 minutes early to our reservation and they graciously sat us early, which was greatly appreciated! The entire ambiance is so lovely and we were able to sit at a high-top on their covered patio area. Everything we had was delicious from their drink of the day to the appetizers and through the entrees. Didn't stay for dessert this time but will have to save room for it the next time we stop by. Great service as well. Our server was constantly mindful of our water glasses and food came out so quickly!

What a lovely place to end the week. Service is OUTSTANDING. Party of five, one of which had never been there. She loved it. She's SFO food sophisticate. She said if she lived down the street, she'd done there everyday! We love you Lola!
Great vibes ! We loved the music playlist , good margs , cool decor and the food was delicious ! Guac is chunky and a little spicy. Big portion for 2 people , but would be perfect for a group. Thanks to Matthew for taking good care of us Chicago girls !

The good looks amazing but tastes BASIC - kinda disappointed in the experience. I did give it one extra star - For the atmosphere, the vibe is amazing but the food does not have good flavor.

Charred octopus and michelada popsicle were a highlight. Music could be turned down a notch to help with conversation.

Hannah was AMAZING! She knew everything about the oysters (Emmerson’s) and cared passionately about every drink and dish. She was so attentive and engaged. Superb service!

Enjoyed a little culinary travel with my mom who was visiting after many months at home during the pandemic. Lola never disappoints. We enjoyed everything but the grilled octopus was a particular favorite.
