If you havenât been to Lolaâs Beach Restaurant in Dorado, what are you even doing with your life? This place is a vibeâand by vibe, I mean epic beachfront eats, cool breezes, and the kind of food that makes you wish you had a second stomach.
Letâs start with the star of the show: the arañotas rellenas. These are not just any stuffed plantain frittersâtheyâre practically the size of your head and stuffed with enough seafood to make Poseidon jealous. Every bite is crispy, savory perfection. Fair warning: youâll think, âOh, I can finish this,â and then halfway through, youâre already plotting your next visit to try a different filling.
The menu is full of Puerto Rican classics thatâll make your taste buds do a happy dance. The coconut arepas? Genius. The mofongo? Life-changing. And if youâre into fresh seafood, this is your paradise. You might even catch yourself humming Despacito while digging into your plateâit just fits the vibe.
The setting is unbeatable. Youâre right by the beach, with the sound of waves and a gentle breeze keeping you cool. Itâs like nature decided to give you the perfect dining companion. And the live music? Pure fun! Whether itâs a local band or karaoke night, youâll find yourself clapping along or, if youâre brave, grabbing the mic after a piña colada (or two).
The staff here are amazingâsuper friendly and quick to recommend their favorites (hint: trust them). Theyâre also very understanding if you need a minute to recover after stuffing yourself with all the deliciousness.
Lolaâs Beach Restaurant isnât just a meal; itâs an experience. Come for the food, stay for the beach vibes, and leave with a happy belly and a slightly tighter waistband. Pro tip: wear stretchy pantsâyouâre...

RELLENO CAMARONES $23.00 AJILLO $0.00 everything was delicious but the stand out were the warm coconut arepas that we filled with carrucho (conch) as appetizers. The piña colada comes with whipped cream on top and the mojitos were bright and refreshing. The rest room was clean and convenient (nicer than youâd expect from the dining room vibe). Iâd highly recommend everything we had but donât...
   Read moreWe came for lunch two days in a row the food was so good! Lola's is located right across the street from the beach with parking behind the restaurant. It's a beach bar and while the service and ambiance was just fine (it was a weekday) it was the food that made this place so memorable. We ordered the arañitas appetizer (shredded green plantain) filled with ceviche which was my favorite. Also ordered the full snapper, churrasco which was perfect, platanos maduros and the arroz mamposteado. This place is so much better than the overrated La Terraza. Don't waste your time there, come...
