We drive here every weekend for the fried tilapia, beef machado, lumpia shanghai, beef nilaga, pancit, lechon, pork sinigang...everything is good!! If you need your Filipino food fix, this is the place to go to for all the options!

I was driving by this location today and was curious about their food. I ordered 2 chicken lumpia, pansit, curry chicken, those cute sausages to go. They were very friendly and even though I planned to take it home and share with my family, I had to sample, right? So I ate all of the lumpia and wished I had ordered more~sampled the pansit and had to stop myself from eating it all~ ate 1 of the cute tasty sausages and am so glad I got a few because I cannot wait to eat another one with eggs for breakfast!! Looking forward to trying other dishes! Everything we had was so delicious. Service was awesome and I'm looking forward to going back and trying more dishes.

The service is nice and friendly. Everything looked delicious. The lechon is cut when you order it and friend twice so it's hot and crispy. It's a small space so it won't accommodate a lot of people if you dine in. I think he charged me wrong because I wanted two items - I got one item and then he charged me $15 for the lechon which should have been my second item.

The lumpia brought me back in time My grandma used to make them when I was growing up. That's just how delious Marisa makes them. They became to be my favorite and they make me very Happy! Thank you and your family !

It's the only Filipino place here. Coming from the Bay Area it's hard to compete but it's the best I can find out here. Service is quick because everything is precooked and it's a turo-turo (point-point) kind of place. They do take special orders for parties so that was a plus.

I lived in the Philippines for four years a long time ago. I found Lola's Kusina by chance and love it, looking for any excuse to drive the 20 miles to Marina to pick up lunch there. I like the variety of their offerings and have enjoyed everything I've eaten of theirs. I took my son, born in Maila and now living in Australia, there on his recent visit and we had some of th best BBQ chuicken we have ever had.

The chicken adobo was so good! I came for the garlic rice but they tan out :( next time we are in Monterey I will come back for the rice!!
I love Lola's for the Filipino ethnic food I just wish they would adjust their hours when googling them or on their Windows sign correctly so that when I come to eat on a Sunday they're not closed. Cash only, Take out only. Good eats

Lola's has really gone down the drain in all senses of quality from the service of the staff to the food. They never have lumpia, always let people overbuy their stuff even though they KNOW its popular and will sell out quickly. Got fried fish from here and the only thing that was hot was the rice. The fish itself was soggy and cold to the bone, the person working at the register and serving the food having been on her phone the entire time. At least when the older guy is there, he refries the fish real quick so it's hot. I'm really disappointed in y'all and you need to do better considering you're the only place around here that seems to make great filipino food-- but only when the mood is right for you I guess.

Best place for homemade lumpia and Filipino food!!! When missing my dads food this is the closest to it.

I ate here once before and didn't like the sisig. It had no flavor and wasn't Krispy. This time I said let me give this place another try. I asked if they had sisig and the man cooking it said yes. I see him add a big block of some white stuff (looked like Mayo or cream cheese) into the sisig mixture and I was kind of confused, but hey I don't really know the actual ingredients to it. So I get home and I'm eating it. It's absolutely disgusting. It don't even taste how it's supposed to. Tasted like tuna salad!

I always enjoyed my experience here at Lola's and I like Alvin and his sister Marrisa not sure of the specific spelling of her name. The food is good and my favorite is the dinaguan with the pepper. I also enjoy the pancit and several other unique and tasty dishes. The stew is really good. You maybe wondering why only 4 stars instead of 5. It's because this restaurant has decided to no longer except credit card payments and is a cash only business. I don't like handling dirty money during a pandemic so I have not been back since this new policy was put in place.
