La Lola — Restaurant in Higüey

I'll start with the positives: much better service than the other restaurants we are at.

Negatives: in our group of four people, two started vomiting after getting back to the hotel.

The tapas were nothing like I've ever had in a Spanish restaurant and not in a good way. For example, the fried or grilled food was so overly done I almost broke my tooth because i bit pure carbon.

The portions were huge and ability to have a varied set of courses for a table of four was 5 tapas. That's plainly ridiculous in addition to the bad quality food. Those dishes were not tapas but rather entrees.

Staff are nice and food is good BUT it is down as a Tapas restaurant and it is so not Tapas. Starter is tapas type nibbles. Main course we could only choose one dish so basically my main was 7 potato and ham croquettes which whilst nice was a bit odd. Menu is awful hard to understand what you can have and staff have poor English so cannot explain it. Needs some English instructions eg order one main, salad from the salad bar and one main course and one sweet. The one restaurant we wouldn't recommend or go back to. If you are fluent Spanish you can haggle...

Médium, good service, good iberico ham, you have tapas frías y calientes, it is weird when you está the " calientes" at similar temperature than the "Frias"... croquetas, 3 stars, Cochinillo, 0 Stars, patatas bravas 2 stars, gambas al anillo 3 stars, but they were cold, it was a pitty. Morcilla 3 Stars, but it was cold too, we were waiting 30 minutes flr the main cources " tapas calientes", and all ones would have been need to be warmed.... in any case not bad experiencia, good...
