Lola

First off I must say that Lola's is a bit overrated. I was told that the Sangria was a must a not being a big fan I was surprised on the effervescense and taste of it. It was refreshing and very tasty.. The service really wasn't bad at all our server was prompt and nice. But if you like to be greeted with a warm smile and a hello do not go here! The hostesses were too busy gabbing away to notice me and my friend, and when I warmly said hello they acted as if it was a huge burden that I interrupted their conversation. I left to ask my friend who was standing outside if this is where she wanted to go and when I came back they ignored me. I finally had to interrupt them yet again and ask if I could sit outside on the patio. The girl simply exclaimed ""yes"" and carried on with her other hostess friends. I don't think I liked the sangria that much to deal with rude, impersonable, and immature 17-year-old girls. You could get better service for a cheaper price at D'Corazon. more

we arrived with a reservation in the peak of dinner. we were immediately seated in a small table very close to the open kitchen. the restaurant was packed and the noise from the patrons and the kitchen were far to loud to have a reasonable conversation. the drinks were served quickly, and they were of very good quality. we ordered some guacamole from the guac cart, and when we asked them to spice it up a lot, we got an incredibly bland, far too lumpy to be easily eaten on a chip pile of avocados. it was not nearly spicy or flavorful enough. apparently they get too many out of town midwesterners to know what ""spice it up"" means. we finally decided on the porkchop and shrimp platter and the buttered escolar. the porkchop and shrimp was good, but nothing special, but the escolar was fantastic. the fish was tender and mild, and the sauce, although mostly butter, was light and subtle enough to not ruin the delicate flavor. we skipped desert, because of the generous portions. overall, a good experience with fantastic views of the city. Pros: hip, great view, good food, great drinks Cons: loud and crowded, hard to get into without reservation, not up-to-hype more

I tried Lola because I had heard the buzz around town about it. I called ahead and we arrived early because I was warned of the potential wait time. The host staff was busy talking with eachother and patrons and not paying attention to the people who where waiting to be sat. That was annoying. But, once sat, the service was excellent and the food was thrilling. We sat on the patio and had a friuty drink with our morning meal. The ambiance is like a tropical get away, and the crowd seemed hip and fun. As we where leaving, an hour later, the line had formed and the host staff was lacking in organization. more

My friend and I went to Lola on a beautiful spring day, as we were walking up we were delighted to see four available tables on the outside patio...we walk up to the hostess (who could not have been older than 17) and ask if we can sit outside. She mustered up as much attitude as a teenager could and told us there was no available seating outside. We checked the patio again to make sure we weren't kidding ourselves, and indeed still saw the four available tables at the end of the patio. When we informed the hostess of this, she replied that the patio was not fully open and she could not seat anyone at those tables. I don't know if she was just in a bad mood because she did not make the cheerleading squad at her local high school, but I will never go back to Lola again. Pros: Large Patio... Cons: but you're not allowed to sit there more

I may be in the minority about the delicousness of the food. more

Apparently I'm in the vast majority but I had a bad experience at this restaurant. First, we watched our house margaritas be poured with Montezuma tequilla. Ultra-cheap and not what I expected from this kind of restaurant. Their ""top-shelf"" margarita featured Sauza Hornitas and there was hardly a mention of a mixer besides triple-sec anywhere on the list. My salmon was server very, very rare and after a couple of bites... didn't sit well. more

I don't get to Boulder much, although this was worth the trip. I hope they come to Littleton, or at least Denver. Ideal for a date. Pros: A place in Boulder.............. Cons: The drive home!!!! more

Pros: Tequilla, Parking, Downtown Views more

lola has the best monday happy hour. the $2 tacos are delicious, and very filling. they come with soft warm corn tortillas and a delicious mix of cabbage slaw. the casarita (strawberry) is delicious, and at $3 won't break your budget. i have also had the salad with fried goat cheese, pickled egg, and chipotle ranch dressing...delicious. although i would ask for the dressing on the side as they seem to like to drown the salad in the stuff. the warm patio is a great place to hang if the weather is nice. the table tops get nice an toasty from the heat. too trendy and lound on the weekends. the table-side guac was not worth the 7 bucks, as it came already prepared, and i've made better myself. i have not tried any of the entrees, but nothing really shouted at me. worth the monday night happy hour and margarita specials though. more

Or after a few of their margarita's, BOTH. This is a place where you can walk in off the street for some good homemade guac or plan a dinner with friends. I say ""friends"" because with so many good items on the menu, the more you share, the more flavors you'll get to experience. Stick with anything from the sea and you won't go wrong! more

I had the pleasure of trying several of thier dishes, all were very good! The only compliant is even with reservations we still had to wait almost 45 mintues for our table, but as it turns out it was worth the wait. Pros: The Ambience was great. Cons: Very crowded more

I came to try out this place by taking advantage of their Monday night special - chicken tacos for $2 plus happy hour drink specials all evening. Love the inspired atmosphere and great service! The tacos arrived on soft corn tortillas with shredden chicken and a cabbage slaw, very tasty. I don't understand why they bring you free chips but charge $4 for their salsa (which is fabulous), but atleast refills were free for both. I couldn't justify $7 for their tableside guac when I saw they only use one avocado (!), and since their entrees reach the $30 stratosphere I'll have to wait a while to return and sample the full menu. more

My friend and I saw this restaurant on Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels, and being that my husband loves Tequila, we had to try it out. The service was very friendly, but not overbearing. We ordered the guacamole, prepared tableside to your liking, the salsa sampler and their famous lobster barbacoa tamale (it truly was the best tamale i've ever had!). The portions are very generous, and the drinks were delicious! If you like scallops, don't miss out on the Scallops Two Ways. Great food, great drinks, great atmoshere and a great view of downtown Denver! Go to Lola!! more

Great outdoor Bar and Patio... Love the Sangria...great Guacamole...service A+...Great Happy Hour! Great for a date night. Pros: free parking, outdoor bar Cons: pricey more

I live a block from this place and have been there a few times. It gets awfully crowded Fri, Sat so if you're a weekend diner, get ready to fight the crowds; very hip scene though. If you can, go Mondays for the $1.95 chicken taco special and multiple specials from the bar. The food is great yet eclectic and sometimes you just have to take a risk with a highly original dish. I think the service is hitt or miss depending on how busy it is. If you can make it for brunch you should definetely go. I had the tequila something salmon ""benedictos"" which was amazing. Best breakfast dish I have ever had. Pros: Great food, Great Scene Cons: Pricey, sometimes crowded more

The Lola Huevos are the best I've ever had! The eggs benedict are incredible, as well. You can't go wrong with the $3 mimosas in just about any flavor you can think of. Enjoy the complimentary beignets while sitting outside or inside listening to live music. Pros: Dog ties outside so you can bring your best friend. Cons: Service is sometimes slow due to high volume business more

the new location is amazing! from good looking staff to amazing food and continued intimate atmosphere. not quite the same as the old location, but the new digs are great! the view and patio are the best parts, also their corn soup is something i could eat daily! Pros: service, view, parking Cons: wait more

The food here is wonderful if you are into fresh fish. Order from the menu that changes regularly for the best in-season flavors. The cocktails are a hit and miss. I've had great cocktails and a couple of send-backs...depends on who's making them and how busy they are. I do not recommend this restaurant on a weekend. They are just too small for the crowd. Hit them on a weekday and you will not be disappointed. Pros: ambience, fresh fish, great flavors Cons: crowded more

Waited an hour, which isn't bad for a Friday night. Waitstaff was just average, didn't go out of his way to reccommend something we would like. We finally settled on the Mushroom , Spinach, Lobster Enchilada. It was ok, but I tasted one bite of seafood, couldn't tell if it was lobster or not. I don't think anything was horrible, but it also was not spectacular. For the price we should have stayed at Pearl St. Gril.l more

Loved the paella! Our table was in a corner and a little lop-sided but everything else was great. more
