    I had an amazing dining experience at Lola's Mexican Cuisine! The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors that left my taste buds dancing. The menu had a great variety of options, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place for a memorable meal. I can't wait to go back and try more of their dishes. Highly recommended! ❤️ Foodie Android(Gaurav Kapoor)

    Lola's was my favorite place when I lived in Long Beach. It did not disappoint when I ate here the other day when visiting Long Beach. 10/10 would recommend.

    Lola’s is an awesome Mexican restaurant With super friendly and excellent service. The menu has all your favourites and everything was fresh and delicious. There is a great bar with many drinks choices but you have to try the classic Margarita - just perfect!!!

    New spot! Met up with friends to have some brunch, the margaritas were good but you know I had to try their Concha Breakfast sandwich. The sweet and salty combo hit the spot, worth the try. I'll be back

    One of our regular haunts since opening. Many vegetarian options... my go to is the potato taquitos. We also often order the queso fundido with soyrizo..... pairs well with the amazing green 'crack' sauce... not certain what it contains, but amazingly yummy. Just discovered Ochoa drink... half Jaimica.. works well together.. with the tea cutting the sweetness of the Jamica. Strayed from my usual and ordered the vegetarian butternut squash enchiladas. Butternut squash cream is a nice take on cream sauce, giving it a slightly sweet and buttery taste. Served with a medly of zucchini, tomato and onions. Can't go wrong with anything here. Fun, upbeat atmosphere in a cafe type setting.

    Absolutely one of the best restaurants in Long Beach hands-down! I take all of my friends and family from out of town or out of state to impress them. Not only do they have amazing street tacos and small platters, but they do an amazing job with their main dishes! Last time I went I got butternut squash with a corn and lime cilantro pasta sauce! Absolutely astonishing and very impressive! Their margarita and drink selection is vast and every single one is super yummy. But the single greatest thing here is there green avocado salsa!!!! I asked for a to go container every single time I go because it’s absolutely delicious on absolutely anything. Pasta, sandwiches, eggs! Sometimes I go and the service is a little bit slow, but I know that times are hard and a lot of people are understaffed. So I just try to be as nice and understanding as possible, but I will forever be in love with this place highly recommend!!

    Great location, staff was quick, friendly. They had sittings outside and inside. The watermelon margarita was delicious. The food was great too along with the chips and dips.

    The Vegan "Chicken" Enchiladas are so good. I eat the entire meal with the nachos so I don't think utensils are necessary. I like red salsa guajillo with the meal. I am super full after eating the meal. I don't know if the restaurant bakes or fries the nachos. Each part of the meal in the container tastes just right.

    Delicious takeout! I’ve also been in person several times and it was a great experience. I got the Chile verde bowl, which has pork and egg - great lunch! Not really spicy at all, but delicious. Really flavorful and fatty pork, which I loved. Also got a side order of plantains (small size) which were excellent! The order comes with chips and a guacamole-ranch type of sauce which was just okay, not my favorite dip.. I would have preferred regular salsa. Also, it seems my tortillas were forgotten. But overall a positive experience and great food.

    We had a party of about 20 people and our server Maricela didn't miss a beat. Food and drinks were served promptly and she did it all with a smile. I had enchiladas suizas made with chicken, the chicken had sooo much flavor!! My wife had a shrimp burrito, she is small but it was huge and she ate almost all of it because it was that good. We will be back and probably very soon!!

    Wish I could have added a picture of my Mahi Mahi en Mole Verde but I devoured it too fast. The place is super authentic!

  • 5/5 Susan C. 3 months ago on Google New
    The Molay was extraordinary! The cloud nine Margarita was unique and delicious. It’s like an old diner that’s been reincarnated. There was adorable tile and wallpaper in the bathroom. It’s the first time in a long time that I feel like the server at a restaurant is so happy to be there and share the food and experience with you, I was in town with an old friend who actually lives here and his wife and this was their choice for dinner. It is a gem of a place.

    I cannot recommend Lola's more for a proper sit-down Mexican restaurant. There's hardly a dish here that leads you wrong. The chips and salsa alone are to die for. The cochinita pibil is an excellent dish as are the street taco offerings. Don't sleep on the mango avocado salad either! With added shrimp, that salad offers the "perfect bite."

  • 5/5 Duncan B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great drinks and the happy hour deals were baller. The salsa and food variety was all incredible. This isn’t a place for families however - the servers and bathrooms aren’t prepared for kids.

  • 4/5 Dr. T. 1 year ago on Google
    We went to this restaurant for the first time and truly enjoyed it. Ambiance, server attentiveness, delicious food and price of the food was great! My only complaint, I ordered enchiladas and requested the sour cream on the side. When I received my plate, the sour cream was in my enchiladas. The server kindly took my meal and replaced it. However, after I finished half of my meal, I realized that the extra cheese on my enchiladas was covering the sour cream I didn't want on my food. Thank God I didn't have an allergic reaction. Instead of preparing new enchilada's the cook simply placed extra cheese to cover the sour cream.

    Lola’s saved my birthday brunch plans by accommodating a party of 10 for Sunday brunch with no reservations! I made a reservation online for the place across the street, but of course they were closed and didn’t change their hours or disable their reservation system 🙄. Thankfully, this place had plenty of space and their food was delicious! The brunch drinks were also tasty and not too pricey. Would definitely come back when I’m in the area. (FYI to the restaurant crew, the pipe along the ceiling is leaking some condensation so you might want to get that fixed so it doesn’t drip on the customers!)

    This café didn't frustrate us! The air was spotless, white and current. Our server was exceptionally kind in suggesting something my child might like as he experienced difficulty choosing. We will return here.

    Please excuse that I already started eating before taking that picture - I don’t usually review places (or photograph my food). BUT THIS PLACE is amazing!! Everything had such wonderful, full flavor, perfectly cooked, not too much or too little of anything, it was absolute perfection. This was their Sat/Sun brunch, but we are coming back for dinner before we leave town.

  • 4/5 Emily F. 1 year ago on Google
    If I was reviewing this place on food alone it’s a 5 star. The best guac we have had. Entrees we’re all delicious and fresh ingredients. Will definitely be back to try more entrees. Only reason it lost a star was the margarita tasted like sour mix and was not fresh or strong. We ordered a skinny margarita pitcher so maybe next time we will try a new cocktail… overall, great food, atmosphere and friendly staff.

    Birria Queso Tacos & Horchata. I was one happy boy today during lunch. The green sauce with the chips were like green crack like our waiter said. Do yourself a favor and bring some friends to this iconic Mexican spot.

  • 5/5 Christopher H. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the sopes, green chicken mole, and mulitas. Ambiance was really nice. We got greeted by the owner, got a free shirt. But the quality of the food here speaks volumes about this restaurant. Try the tinga sope, you will want more than just 3!!

  • 5/5 Craig A. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here is very good. This is the Best Salsa I have had in Los Angeles. The salsa they call Green Crack is insanely good. Taco Tuesday did not start until 6:00 p.m. so they recommended something they are very good at. The Cochinita Pibil was delicious. The pork was fall apart tinder and quite succulent, the flour tortillas were fried just right. The hibiscus tea was quite tasty and added to an enjoyable lunch. I will return soon and try their fresh hand made Guacamole to go with their exceptional chips and salsa! I Do recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Dawn S. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food, fresh, with great taste. Their portions are large, priced well. Strong mixed drinks, yummy guac and their chips and salsa was so good we couldn't stop eating them.

  • 3/5 Bundy The B. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was pretty good, we went on a weekday mid afternoon so probably not too busy at the time. The server was very sweet and the michelada was very tasty. I had the vegan burrito and it was good.
