Went back a year later. This time the food was excellent, we had the fried deviled eggs and shared an order of wings.
The deep fried deviled eggs were amazing! The egg flavor went perfectly with the chive aioli, topped with a jalapeno slice and cilantro garnish, the perfect match. We almost ordered another plate. :)
The wings are cooked perfectly! Crispy outside while the inside meat was juicy - so many times I find the inside of the wing way over cooked/dried out, not these. I ordered them plane with their hot sauce on the side. They came with a salt-n-pepper seasoning which I was not happy about as I said "plain" but to my delight it was actually really good - I'm sensitive to salt, so I have to be careful. They had just the right amount of salt. Next time I will make sure they don't add the salt & pepper, but you may like them with it.
The hot sauce was really good. It had a ketchup like thickness - texture but 100% buffalo spices you'd expect in a good sauce.
The service was great, we sat at the bar, she kept our drinks full and made pleasant conversation and a fun lunch!
Will I go back? Yes, they have upped their game, the menu has many new changes for the better!!!
A YEAR AGO: 3 STARS! Really great atmosphere I love what they’ve done inside. Cool sports bar - huge large screen on the back and many others all over the restaurant. The tables and chairs are really nice. Very comfortable very open space. Great place to meet people for drinks - Watch some sports when they start playing again. 😀
As for the food it’s so so. I only had the calamari because they were out of octopus. Then they were out of kettle one, you would think the first week open you would be fully stocked. But maybe there was a problem.
The food itself needs something. For example on the Carnitas it came with rice, beans and plantains. No wraps, no limes no picante no nothing else to go with it. It needs sauces options - fresh tomatoes parsley onions. The calamari appetizer could’ve been from Captain Ds. The sauce was so so. The calamari could’ve been a little more crispy and a little less soft - there’s a difference between chewy and soft and then this case it was too soft - not cooked well enough. It wasn’t raw it was just not tasty in terms of level it should have been cooked.
Since they’re new and they’re still working things out I will go back and give them another chance. Maybe try one of their burgers that they claim they’re all about.
The menu looks great the service was great and the people were great. Management needs to help the food or they won’t make it on...
Read moreMy boyfriend and I came in since roux closed early at 4 and it was 3:50. The space is wonderful. Open and has a 2nd level and tvs everywhere. It is a great sports bar vibe. The host was extremely friendly and had a wonderful beard. The waitress was quick to take our orders as well. Now the negative. We ordered a beef empanada, canton street chip, street corn, the pan seared salmon and the patty melt. The empanada filling had no flavor, no salt or pepper and the texture was as if it was boiled ground beef. The street chip were soggy (cheese directly on top of the chips with the pork on top of the cheese) the pork was amazing but on a bed of wet chips. The salmon was cooked perfectly! But the sauce was so salty it ruined the fish. The rice was passable and the brussel sprouts were sweet instead of savory. The patty melt was too salty and overcooked. Positive note the corn was phenomenal and the margarita and paloma were strong yet well balanced. This place did open in July so I assume these are growing pains, but should be addressed. I will come back once more in the future(far into the future) hopeful you all improve on the food quality
Edit one year later Thank you for listening, Lola's staff. We decided to come back once more and the food blew us away. Your staff has become more friendly and knowledgeable and the food was well made and seasoned. You even made a chicken for our puppy while we were there. Kitchen and front of the house staff...
Read moreWent to Lola’s Burger & Tequila Bar for dinner with a few friends and everything—from the food to the vibes to the service—was spot on. First off, the place has a really fun and chill atmosphere. Great music, cool lighting, and it just feels like a place where you want to hang out for hours (which we did 😂).
Now let’s talk about the real MVP of the night—Riley. She was our server and honestly, she made the whole experience. Super friendly, totally on top of things, and just had a great energy. She was super helpful walking us through the menu (especially the tequila options, which were 🔥), and you could tell she actually cared that we were having a good time. It felt like we were being taken care of by a friend.
Food-wise, everything was chef’s kiss. I got the classic burger and it was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. My friends got the El Diablo and the Smokeshow (both awesome), and we shared some tequila cocktails—HIGHLY recommend the cucumber jalapeño marg.
Can’t say enough good things about this place. Great food, great drinks, and Riley was seriously the best. Will definitely be back—and next time I’m 100% asking to sit in her...
