Let me start off with this: Lolita was our first stop in Boston on our 4 day mini vacay and NOTHING on our trip came even close to the experience we had here! We were also STARVING after a 6+ hour flight and delay, so we came READY TO EAT DINNER. We made reservations ahead of time (this is an absolute MUST, especially if you are traveling and don't really know the area and/or wait times!) and are so glad we did because, of course, we got lost on the way (it was also raining) and had to call to say we'd be a few minutes late. The vibe was POPPIN - totally full house with great music and what a BEAUTIFUL restaurant through and through. We were seated right away, which told us that they take reservations very seriously lol. Okay, now the important stuff!

The service: Serena was ✨️PHENOMENAL✨️! Our favorite part about her taking care of us was how genuine she came off - definitely was not in it for tips/paycheck/etc. She was consistent in checking on us, even though she had several packed tables and on a Friday night. Serena was very sweet, funny and quick to get to us.

The starter: Really cool that they serve complimentary shaved ice with a splash of tequila! Whoever came up with giving guests a buzz BEFORE they order anything else is a GENIUS! 🤣

The drinks: Just order one of everything because they are SO GOOD and kudos to your bartender(s) because we are pretty sure they dumped a whole bottle of tequila or mezcal in each drink. 😂 No selfishness at Lolita! Broken heart was my favorite, though!

The food: DELICIOUS! When I said we were hungry, I meant it. We ordered tacos al pastor, brussel sprout tacos, zucchini balls 😂 (forgot the actual name, but who cares because they're on the menu), sofrito quesadilla and queso dip. See, told you we were hungry! All of it - GONE. 🤤

The dessert: Per usual, we couldn't decide and were stuck between the pineapple tres leches cake and bubu lubu. We asked Serena what she recommended and she mentioned the same ones, so naturally, we ordered both and INHALED them. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING desserts! 🤤🤤🤤

Above and beyond: At the beginning of our dinner, Serena asked us if we had been there before and we mentioned it was our first time in Boston and we were celebrating a birthday. At the end of our entire meal (post-dessert and all), Serena took it upon herself to bring a cotton candy with a cute little candle on it, set it in front of the birthday boy and very sweetly said "Happy Birthday"! Most of us hate the whole birthday spectacle, but obviously this time we were excited about it and the way it was presented was perfect!

If we could leave more than 5 stars, we would! This experience was ✨️BEYOND EXCEPTIONAL✨️ and we can't thank you all, especially Serena, enough for setting the Boston bar SO HIGH.

Thank you so much! ❤️
