    Fairly full house on a Monday night and most tables and booths were full. High energy vibe. Quick to be greeted & seated and waited on. The food was excellent. The flavors were awesome and everything was delicious. We skipped dessert because we were too full from our entrées and guac and tostada appetizer. All day Happy Hour prices were an added bonus for our beverages. We will definitely go to Lolita‘s again.

    I truly believe this is the best Mexican restaurant in Richmond and the surrounding areas. The homemade tortillas really make a difference, and I was particularly impressed by the tacos and the green posole—both were exceptional. The Margaritas, crafted with agave, were delightful and added a special touch to the meal. On top of that, the service was outstanding, which made the experience even better. I can't wait to return!
