“ One of our favorite restaurants. We always get the tuna ceviche, which they always seem to have a version of with their fabulous rotating menu. I have so many pictures at Lolita’s I couldn’t decide which to post. We met one the owners and she was so lovely and so was our helpful server Jasmine!!! Get the ceviche. Also they have fabulous cocktails. ”
“ Went here earlier today with some of my friends- prices were so much better than i anticipated given the atmosphere, and the service was phenomenal!! Our server Avery was so funny and quick, and the food itself was delicious. If youre used to american larger portions, do we aware that the lunch portions were smaller (however all of us left feeling adequately full!) we will definitely be revisiting soon! ”
“ Small woman owned business serving delicious Mexican cuisine with a twist. I absolutely loved that they have vegetarian options. Everything was amazing, from the mocktail to the appetizers to the tacos. Every Tuesday you can experience their taco special, all tacos are 5. Excellent service from Jazmyne and delicious food at an affordable price. ”
“ The overall vibe is top notch! Plenty of seating options, didn’t have any issues getting a seat in late afternoon on a Saturday. Very friendly staff and very accommodating! We tried the the carne Asada tacos and the mushroom tempura tacos. The mushroom tempura was so flavorful and had a nice crunch to it! Would definitely come back again to enjoy their small plates. Parking is along the street and walkable to so many other spots as well! ”
“ This place is beyond delicious! I am Latina, and I usually hate avocados and guacamole. BUT this place makes the most amazing guacamole with this special green oil on top! I love this place. It’s such a special find. Great people work here too. I will be back again soon. ”
“ My husband, in laws, and baby are visiting Richmond with me and we decided to try Lolita’s tonight. Wow, what a great experience!! We got there right before happy hour ended so we were able to order their esquites and tuna tostadotas—both were delicious!! Then we ordered 6 sets of tacos and all of them were delicious! My favorite has got to be the gobernador and my husband agreed. My in laws don’t typically like Mexican food but even they said the flavors were great and they really enjoyed the meal. Place is cute and service was great too. Would totally be one of my go to spots if I lived here!! ”
“ Wonderfully fresh, innovative, and flavorful food. Salsa & tostadas appetizer was exceptional. The three different salsas were all interesting. We enjoyed the carne asada tacos & quesadillas. The fresh fruit with chili was an unexpected delight! Would recommend. ”
“ We couldn’t be happier about our visit to Lolita’s. We came for my best friend’s birthday and Ganzalo and the staff made it even more special! The food was incredible, they are extremely accommodating to allergies, and just made the birthday celebration and vibes even better!!! We can’t wait to come back :) ”
