Really yummy tacos. Good tequila though, overpriced a little bit after looking up the price of the bottle I was drinking I realized I paid for an entire bottle after only two shots lol

This is an innovative gourmet taco shop with a lovely atmosphere, and a living-room like area with chairs and a sofas facing the bar. It is the sister restaurant of the Michelin-noted Lola 55 in downtown San Diego. Every taco is assempled with care, with some unusual pairings, and photo-ready. The margaritas are zesty and unique, with black salt (?) on the rim. And I had attentive service, including from the owner. I only wish they had more things on their menu, but have liked everything I have had.

While the food was OK, I thought it was overpriced. You have to find your own seat and they bring it to you.The ambiance is more like a nicer sit down restaurant, but you have to order using a screen instead of a waitress.

Such a wonderful casual dining choice. Tacos were delicious and my wife craves the Pozole.

Best tacos, better than fine dinning! Good meat, fish, and vegetarian options.

I came here after a Yelp event and thought I would grab a quick bite rather go home and make dinner. The place wasn't packed but it was busy. There were two iPads to place your order. You can remove items if you wish. Enter a table number (located below the order iPad) and bring it to your table. If you want a glass of water, there's a water station with lemons at the counte I ordered the squa-shroom and mesquite chicken taco. The mesquite taco arrived first. It was flavorful but very spicy for me. There wasn't much on it for $4.75. The squa-shroom ($5.98) was also spicy and flavorful but had much more to the taco than the chicken. Overall, both tacos were too spicy for my taste. This was more of a 3.5 score for me overall for these pricey tacos.

Did not like much about this place. Portions were so small. Flavors were meh. Lots of fancy descriptions on the menu but didn't live up at all. No chips or salsa. Just horrible. Also expensive wine for a take out place, where you order on an IPad. $12 a glass for house red. If you don't like eating and don't like Mexican flavors this is the place for you.

Amazing flavor! Wow is not enough. I had 3 tacos. All were interesting. I will be back. This is a great place to have drinks and hang out with friends or bring a date.

Quality of food was exceptional and quantity is just the right amount. The ambiance is very pleasant whether afternoon lunch or evening. Did not disappoint at all!
Love this place. Gourmet tacos and food at reasonable prices. Amazing. I particularly love the cauliflower tacos. Never would have expected that. Everything is excellent. Love the croutons on the Caesar salad.

I am obsessed! I love all the food, drinks, and desserts at Lola 55!! The flavors are authentic and modern at the same time. All the tacos are good, I love the creativity with each one and the beautiful presentation. I've literally tried them all and they're all good. The drinks are delicious and well balanced, and the desserts aren't too sweet. I love it all!! Even the mocktails are good. Must try!! The service is good too, and there is free parking, though you may have to drive around a bit to find one if you go on the weekends.

We had an enjoyable time at Lola 55. The chicken and fish tacos did not disappoint. They did not hold back on the spice on the smoked carnitas and squashroom tacos and it definitely packed a punch. The only off dish would be the pork taco, which was on the saltier side. But beautiful presentation on all dishes. The service was as expected for a fast casual. They didn't come to bother you much except to bring you the food after ordering by yourself at the kiosk. The decor feels modern and comfortable. Love the couches.

Very impressed. Great open kitchen and an easy to order menu. The tacos we ordered were delicious and mindfully prepared and the corn tortillas were far better than anything I've had in any other North County restaurant - obviously house made from fresh masa. I can imagine being a regular here. It's a very comfortable dining experience, the prices are great, and it's so much better than the local taco shops. 5 stars.
