We 100% attribute coming here to the amazing service and drinks at Yvonne’s. Giovanni sent us here as a great place to eat and Xiamora took AMAZING care of us. I wasn’t even hungry but when I tasted the guacamole I had to get food. We ended up eating 3 entrees (carne arsada plate with rice and beans s, steak tacos and pork carnitas tacos) and they were all AMAZING. We’re going to have to come back . Thank you Giovanni and Xiamora

This was our second time back after 8 years. We had fabulous service, food, and a cool atmosphere. We were catching up with friends and were grateful to not be rushed during our visit. We will be back again! Side note, we had a reservation and were visiting on a Thursday night. We were also asked if there were dietary restrictions prior to ordering which was great.

Lolita offers great vibes and quality food! When you enter you're transported into a very sophisticated space with gothic decor. It's very photogenic and has top notch ambiance. Drinks we got were really good. I enjoyed my riviera margarita a lot, and the glass of wine my boyfriend got was good. We split a few food items as it seemed like the best option. This place doesn't market itself as tapas style from what I saw, but the portion sizes definitely feel like it is. We started with the hot queso dip as our appetizer. It was good but ! feel like the dip could've been bigger for the amount of chips given. Then we split the beef gorditas which came recommended to us by the host, as well as the steal quesabirria. Both were really yummy and honestly were filling. Then they give you a cotton candy when you get your bill which was a cool touch. Tables are close together so our neighbors were striking up conversation with us. I didn't mind but beware if you're looking for a more intimate experience it might not happen depending on who your neighbors are. But I was surprised with how big this place is, there are so many dining rooms and a few bars! Overall a quality date night in Boston!

We made a reservation to enjoy an early dinner here before going across the street for a candlelight concert. We were seated quickly, but it did take a while before our server came by, which had us lowering our expectations at the start, since the place was not packed inside or anything. Thankfully, after she came over and took our orders, the food was excellent! We got a couple margaritas and the street corn app and the crab ceviche app. She also brought over a complimentary starter that was like flavored ice with tequila. We then got the yucca tacos and the steak tacos. Everything was great, with the yucca tacos being our favorite bite of the night. They also brought us cotton candy with our bill at the end of the night.

The food here is delicious! My husband and I loved the tacos so much. My favorites were the fish, the shrimp and the steak. The tortillas were fresh and homemade. I really liked the Diablo margarita. It’s sweet and spicy. If you like Mexican food, you should definitely try this place. We went there twice within three days and we would definitely go back next time we return to Boston.
