The food smells good the minute you walk in. Very cozy and inviting vibes. The food is so good I almost cried. From the home-made salsas to the carne asada fries to the octopus everything was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. For the carne asada fries, bite-sized chunks of potato with a crispy exterior that melts in your mouth the moment you bite into them. Perfect texture pairing to the perfectly cooked steak bites. Very generous portions, perfect for sharing or if you're super hungry. My husband and I love supporting a local family-owned establishment!We will be back! Can't wait to work our way through their entire menu. Our first visit was the perfect birthday dinner for my husband!
I met my family here to celebrate a birthday. We called ahead to secure a reservation because we heard they are always busy and there's usually a wait. When we walked in, there was just a few minutes wait and we were seated. The server was awesome, very informative and helped us to create a vegan option off the menu. The food was very good - we had a soy chorizo quesadilla, grilled cauliflower, and tacos. We also had some drinks, that were just as pretty as they were delicious. I loved the vibes of this place, there was a beautifully lit bar area and wall decor as well.
We came here on a Saturday afternoon and we’re able to be seated without a reservation. The restaurant is fun and colorful. They have great cocktails, including a Mezcal old-fashioned which was yummy. We started with a guacamole and salsa and there was a decent portion. I had the Mexican Caesar salad with Suadero and my friend had steak. Both were very good and huge portions. The brussels sprouts were also delicious others in our group ordered the tacos and everyone liked theirs. Price is a reasonable bomb service was pretty good.
We. Love. Lolita’s!!! The staff is so amazing, and somehow the food is even more astonishing. My girlfriend and I travel from PA and SC, and have made it a tradition to come to Richmond just to eat at Lolita’s. The food is vibrant, cooked to perfection, and full of tradition that you can taste in every bite. Highly recommend everything on the menu.
Excellent Mexican fare with reasonable prices and outstanding service. The staff were so attentive and the food came out fast. My carne asada fries were amazing, as were my chorizo tacos. Recommend for a high end lunch or fun date night spot. Full bar inside as well.

Vibrant Mexican flavors in a cozy, family-owned Richmond gem.
