Bhavin GandhiDecember 3, 2016The hippest Mexican restaurant/bar in back bay. Rule of thumb of a Mexican restaurant: if the salsa is great, food will be awesome. And this Lolita satisfies this criteria with flying colours.
Denise DuttonOctober 23, 2013They start your meal with a complimentary shaved ice (with or without a complimentary shot of tequila in it), and end your meal with free green-apple flavored cotton candy. What's not to love?
Katie AndradeJuly 24, 2016Wow this place is the bomb! Everything we ordered was delicious including the crispy rock shrimp, chicken quesadilla, and crispy empanadas. They give you complementary cotton candy which is a bonus!
AngieMarch 11, 2018Believe the hype! We tried everything. The empanadas, carnitas nachos, chicken quesadillas, & pollo asado are to die for. The watermelon mango mojito was delicious! The service was great too.
Desiree RobertsonMarch 27, 2019Diablo margarita! The street corn was awesome! Grilled steak tacos were also very good..they give you a grapefruit sorbet that comes out in a bowl that has dry ice so it looks smoky!
IrinaMarch 2, 2017Very cool burlesque-ish atmosphere with dim light. Guacamole with bacon comes with 4 sauces which is a nice touch.
Julie LNovember 23, 2019Amazing experience: tasty tacos, little surprises along the meal like the cotton candy for desert. And you can't go wrong with a margarita. Better make a reservation for your table
Matthew PiresApril 28, 2017Great atmosphere. Good staff. Delicious Food. Get the guacamole and corn bread, it's totally worth it. If you don't know already, they give you cotton candy at the end of your meal.
Ha DiemApril 17, 2016Complimentary shaved ice w/ a shot of tequila, lobster enchilada, that corn, fried chicken tacos, strawberry basil mojito, Black Forest cake night cap... Just a couple highlights of my amazing meal!
MiguelNovember 18, 2017The chips, salsa, guacamole, tacos, and even the cotton candy are all incredible. You can’t go wrong.
- CarolineAugust 24, 2016Amazing food! The halibut tacos were outstanding as well as the strawberry mojito. Churros are amazing!!!! You have to eat here if you love Mexican food!
Sue YeeJuly 2, 2015Excellent tacos, everything's good to be honest. Can't complain with complimentary chips and triple dip, grapefruit shaved ice w/tequila & green apple cotton candy at the end. :)
AshleyApril 9, 2016The atmosphere is really great but you have to book a table for the weekend a month in advance. I would suggest just going here for drinks at the bar so there's no wait and the atmosphere.- Rainy ZhangJanuary 10, 2015First time having food here, it was sooo good! We got picante guac, short rib tacos, and steak quesadilla. Everything was super flavorful! Also try the Diablo margarita, definitely has a kick
Dan SchaumannOctober 9, 2014I ordered the corn bread based on the tips I saw here, and I can vouch it's incredible bread. You need to try it. A very well spent $6.00
Sasha NaomiNovember 10, 2017The margaritas as amazing!!! This place is always a pit stop for me when I drop into Boston! One of my favs. Can get very loud so be prepared for that
CarolOctober 3, 2020Surprisingly they do brunch but the entree options are limited to 3. Got the broken eggs, but the shoestring fries made me tired of eating. The Mexican red eye is great.
Such an awesome place! Love the sangria, 3 salsas, and the cotton candy with pop rocks that comes with the check was so good! Mondays are all you can eat tacos for $7. Tons of fun for a date :)
Laura WongJanuary 10, 2016Very trendy, a lot of internationals visit here. Incredibly crowded on weekends, fabulous cocktails. Possibly some of the best margaritas i've had

Aaron Cecchini-ButlerSeptember 18, 2016El Diablo. Just keep them coming. Fried chicken tacos are no joke too. Always very busy but worth the wait
Gianna NebbiaSeptember 23, 2017Drinks were great- strong! They also give a few complementary items which is nice. The food is slightly underwhelming but fun atmosphere and drinks make up for it- Tiffany LopinskyMay 31, 2016Everything is delicious, and I love that they bring you a cotton candy covered in pop rocks with your check!
HoffJuly 9, 2014Wow! What a meal. Here goes: Bonita margarita, salsa trio, guacamole especial, pork and pineapple quesadilla and the corn bread. #aintnothinwrongwithcornbread
Giovanni OliverApril 10, 2015Always full here. Make res. even bar is full. Anyway bacon guacamole is good.

Priyanka RavaalMay 12, 2013The best selection of margaritas! Each one with different taste. My favorites are diablo and broken heart! Love this place
Eric VieiraSeptember 29, 2013amazing meal! amazing drinks! amazing service! nasty washrooms.... come on guys - State of a washroom usually defines the cleanliness of a kitchen - concerning.
From the grapefruit and tequila slush to the chips and dip to the mango habanero sauce to the cotton candy. Go here.
Boston PhoenixMarch 14, 2011Our critic says go for the sticky spare ribs and the blackened mahi-mahi tacos. And even with 200 tequilas to choose from, coffee with Mexican chocolate post-meal is a must. Read more

Gisele FriedJanuary 8, 2012Good sangria, Great staff, very kind and caring, so innovative the way they bring you the check with cotton candy, the guard tough but cordial, funny and fancy restrooms
ᴡ T.January 1, 2020Food is out of this world! Location is brilliant! Bar is awesome! Definitely yes!
Kim ScalamandreFebruary 18, 2012Great food and atmosphere. May have to wait a while for a table. Guacamole is awesome. Mid week may be better if you don't want a twenty something crowd.
Max SaberFebruary 22, 2015Execellent drinks, staff is hit or miss attitude wise but I had a great time there overall. The cheese dip is phenomenal!
- Mar MarOctober 25, 2015The margaritas are amazing and the free cotton candy is a nice treat. Loved the atmosphere!

Tatiana JunqueiraAugust 4, 2014The verticle nachos at Lolita are the BOMB! So good. Everyone at our table couldn't talk about anything else.
A SSeptember 11, 2016Creative apps. But leave room for their chips and salsa, they absolutely steal the show!
Magda IwaniecApril 11, 2019Diablo margarita is awesome! And the green apple sugar candy for free with your bill💚
