                                  Always a good experience and excellent service. Only gave it 4 stars today because service dragged a bit and also got a cold cup of coffee. BUT they took it off the bill and also gave us some comp guacamole; first class! Lolita’s is a fabulous spot and always has the best live music. Keep the jazz coming!

                                  We had a great time at Lolita's. There was some excellent Latin jazz guitar music (a bit too loud to have a conversation), and the food was delicious and reasonably priced.

                                  A great spot for awesome Mexican food, great vibe and ambience. Band playing in the front was low key cool --- really added to the whole vibe. Lola provided exceptional service.
