Taste down three steps to the teeth tapping Lolita | Boston

🌮 Lolita: Boston’s Mexican Tapas + Underground Bar—Vibes, Flavor, and Lots of Guac Mexican tapas meets underground music bar—book ahead. The “behind curtain” area? Loud, lively, with first-come-first-served seating (perfect for groups who love energy). Portions look tiny, but they’re surprisingly filling. And the drinks? Dangerously smooth—we split two pitchers and barely tasted the alcohol. 🌟 The Must-Orders Street Corn: 5 stars, group favorite. 4 pieces, loaded with more cheese than Bartaco’s version. Creamy, spicy, and so satisfying. Tuna Tostadas: 5 stars. Fresh tuna, crisp tostadas, and a zesty kick—only downside? Raw onions = post-meal breath (oops 😷). Shrimp Taco: 5 stars. Juicy shrimp, bright slaw, and a tangy sauce—textbook perfect. Pork Taco: 4 stars. A little greasy, but the pineapple inside cuts through it—sweet, savory, and addictive. 🦐 The “Almost Perfect” Bites Blackened Shrimp: 4 stars. Crispy, thin, and pizza-like—salty, but the mango sauce (I skipped due to allergies) supposedly balances it. Pork Taquitos: 3.5 stars. Tasty, but overly salty—good for sharing, not solo. Guacamole: 3.5 stars. Solid, but nothing special—standard creamy, fresh, and good with chips. 🍹 The Drinks Lolita: 5 stars. Refreshing, fruity, and easy to sip. Broken Heart Margarita Pitcher: 5 stars. Salt rim swapped for red sugar—sweet, smooth, but so much ice. Harvest Sangria Pitcher: 4.5 stars. First sip: tart + cinnamon. By the end? We were hooked. Beer: 4 stars. Cold, crisp, and pairs with spicy food. 📍 Verdict Great for groups—vibes, drinks, and tapas that hold their own. Bartaco’s duck tacos still top my list (and no reservations needed), but Lolita beats Barcelona’s tapas. Skip Chickadee’s harsh drinks—this is where it’s at. 📍 Lolita: Boston’s lively Mexican spot—come for the corn, stay for the pitchers. #BostonMexican #TapasBar #SeaportNights
