Taqueria Lola — Restaurant in Dhaka Metropolitan

The ambiance is very hip and beautiful. They have limited seating capacity so you might have to wait a long time to be seated. Visiting off peak hours is a must. The place is unusually small which is what makes it unique. The servers were also very friendly but lacked knowledge about the menu itself. They also took a unusually long time to serve us our food. I believe if they were better knowledgable about their own food, it would have been better for us as the customer. The food although left more to be desired. The drink were very refreshing and tasted as good as it looked. We had the Pineapple Green Chilli which was definitely the best among the rest of Watermelon Mint and Cucumber Lemongrass. The drinks might be pre packaged but I could be wrong. We asked the recommendation of the server of what would be good as appetisers as we wanted something with guac and chips, he recommended the Shrimp Aguachile and said that it would be perfect for us but unfortunately maybe due to miscommunication, the item wasn’t what we wanted. It tasted very tangy which wasn’t what we were looking for. It didn’t have any chips like he said so I guess better customer understanding would’ve played a better role. The Refried Beans where delicious and just what I had expected. The Tacos where bland. The Beef Barbacoa tasted like deshi gorur mangsho, not bad but not great either. The Chipotle Chicken was a bit better and tasted good enough. The tacos where not as good as I...

The place is too small but really pretty. We ordered the following

Pineapple express: only item we didn't like. Firstly, the ice fills a lot of the glass. So quantity of the drink is less. Next, the drink had so much potential and had such great reviews that I feel sad that both of us did not enjoy it. It was overly sweet and no tangy-ness of the pineapple could be felt or tasted. It was spicy and smoky which was great but overuse of sugar ruined it

Fried camarones taco This was a great dish with lots of prawn and nice salsa to go with. I wish they gave more than one lemon though. By look of it, we felt the quantity is too less but once we were done eating, we felt full. The rice was also not bad but I wish they had an option to serve refried beans instead of rice.

Grilled redfish taco This was also good but the shrimp one was better. Also, shrimp one had more shrimp compared to the amount of fish in this one. But, nevertheless, a very light and refreshing dish

Beef barbacoa quesadilla You cannot go wrong with it as it is "jhura mangsho" with porota and cheese and beans. I wish it had a little more beans. It was too filling and had a very generous amount of beef and cheese.

Overall, good food but a very...

Taqueria Lola is a small cozy and such a vibrant place.

⚜️Tinga tostada. [price: 295/-]. This is my favourite from their menu! Crispy and super tasty. Topped with roasted chicken, refried bean, queso, fresco etc

⚜️Beef Barbacoa. [price: 395/-]. Braised beef in a soft shell taco with cilantro, onion , green chilli etc.

⚜️Chipotle Chicken quesadilla. [price: 325/-]. This was pretty good. A bit dry for me. The sauce goes perfectly with this.

⚜️Marinated Jerk shrimp. [price: 350/-]. Very fulfilling but I’ve found it a bit bland for my taste . But the carrot sauce is amazing!

⚜️Shrimp aguachile [price: 325/-]. It’s basically like shrimp ceviche. Very refreshing. Loads with punchy flavours.

⚜️Queso Fundido. [price: 325/-]. It’s a cheesy dip with braised beef. Served with soft tortillas. The dip was very unique and tasty. I wish they served chips with it.

⚜️Thai chilli pineapple & watermelon mint! [price: 145/-]. The drinks are AMAZING! specially the pineapple one. So unique and flavourful.

✅MUST HAVES Tinga tostada, beef barbacoa, drinks!

Overall loved...
