Welcome to Lola's Mexican Restaurant

2101 Flatbush Ave Brooklyn, NY 11234 Hotline: (929) 284-3675
I was surprised to see a restaurant opening on what was always such a dead corner of Flatbush Avenue. Told my wife they were crazy. Shows you how much I know. Small place, but brightly lit and nicely decorated. Service was professional, quick and very friendly. The margaritas were delicious; and rest assured, I know margaritas. I've had plenty of bad ones. And the food tasted fresh and terrific, and considering I generally don't even like Mexican food, this is a high compliment. Parking can be found within a block. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Wheelchair accessible.
I enjoyed Lola's Mexican Restaurant. I've visited them about three times and each time I'm satisfied when I have a quick feeling for Mexican food. The service is always God. The staff members are friendly at all times. I usually get tacos or the burrito bowl. I would suggest adding hot sauce to the burrito bowl if you want it spicy. The portions are reasonable and well presented. Their prices aren't too bad. Given they are the only Mexican sit down vibes in that area really, I agree their prices can be what they are. I noticed they had brunch. So I tried it and it was ok. Not my favorite if I ever say I need brunch but it wasn't "send back to the kitchen" bad. It filled me and I was fine. Their cocktails are well made. I've had their cocktails in the past and definitely felt like I can grab a quick drink if I needed a calm and quiet vibes. It doesn't have like a bar,lounge hype vibe at all. It's a cute place and the decor is nice but it's usually low key and calm.
The service and ambiance win here. The food is decent but it's not going to please the food snobs. I liked most of my dish but the black beans were a little off to me. The waitstaff was really attentive overall however. The restaurant is cozy and the decor is really cute.
Came here for dinner with my husband. We ordered the quasidilla as an appetizer. It was good but very small. The list of appetizers isn't that big. I was surprised child and salsa was a paid appetizer...usually Mexican restaurants give that complimentary. I had the chimichangas and my husband had the pork chops. The extra little pico de gallo for my husband was $2 extra. The portions were a nice size - it wasn't too filling. The service was pretty good. It's a cute spot with nice decor. The music was a little loud but it was Friday night. It was pretty busy while we were there. Definitely a cute little spot, I'd go back.
This place was an amazing and unexpected surprise. We arrived 90 minutes before they closed but they were kind enough to let us in and order. The waiter was very friendly and fun to chat with. With half my party only being able to speak spanish it was a great surprise when the waiter spoke spanish as well. We ordered a few drinks and all got chicken enchiladas de mole. The enchiladas were amazing we did wish that there was more mole sauce on it and the rice a little softer but overall it was really delicious 4.5/5. I didn't enjoy the mango margarita as much 3/5 but the mojito was nice 4/5. The mojito could have used less mint leaves as it felt like a lot. The restaurant itself was nice and fun. They had space inside and outside to eat. They had a little bar not that you can sit there but to view them making the drinks which was fun. lol
Food overall is very good for the price. An appetizer and 2 entree came to $50 (no beverage). Guacamole and chips appetizer rates 6/10 was small and missing the tomatoes onions and jalapeños. Desperately need salt and lime. Carne asada rated 8/10 was sliced very thin but tender and juicy. Rice was cooked perfectly not mushy. It comes with tortillas grilled onions, guacamole, and beans. (I'm not a fan of beans so I ordered without). The Molé rates 8/10. The molè sauce was more on the sweet side, which was not what we expected, and also missing some spice. The seating is limited on the inside but they do offer outside dining. The kitchen closes at 7pm sharp, felt a bit rushed. They have a full bar and some interesting cocktails but we did not have time to try any like the kitchen they close at 7. We'll surly be back for take out.
Alright alright !!!! Yes I'm a foodie but when it comes to Mexican food it's a little more like foodayyy if you catch my drift lol After a doctors visit and riding pass Lola's a few times in curiosity me and my princess & Mommy decided to have lunch at Lola's I have to say it kept calling me, the good vibes drew us in. I went with a virgin pina colada that was made by David and hands down it was one of the best I've had at a restaurant. It wasn't watery and not too sweet it was actually close to perfect I loved the mint leaf to top it off. Aesthetically Pleasing: The entire restaurant from outside to inside is definitely instagram worthy. I loved the pic in the back should have taken a pic on saying tequila is like therapy lol... I digress. I loved the service also Ashley was very attentive and nice from the beginning to the end. Food: I got the fajitas (chicken steak and shrimp) I shared it with my princess and brought it home and shared with my sister and still have leftovers a great bang for your buck it was about 23$ not bad My mom got the chicken bowl it was so yummy and authentic definitely topped chipotle for you chipotle lovers. I'm excited to come back to try brunch as well as outside seating . Thank you guys for the wonderful experience!
