Great neighborhood restaurant with delicious food and warm and welcoming service. I had the ropa vieja and it was phenomenal - tender and deliciously seasoned meat and super flavorful beans. My friend and I sat in the courtyard and it was lovely—a beautiful garden space with loads of hummingbirds flitting around. Service was top notch. All the servers were friendly and helpful and really added to the whole experience.

Lola’s Lounge is more than a restaurant. It’s an experience that feeds my soul and makes me want to dance. The space is cozy and filled with warmth. The energy is welcoming and the love shows in the food.

The flavors and seasoning are everything. Nothing is lacking and every dish feels intentional and delicious. It is rare to find Puerto Rican food in Sacramento and Lola’s delivers with authenticity and heart.

I love bringing my loved...

Good vibe and food buy whwn we were there multiple items on the menu were out. Fun place to hang out though and it has a large nice patio. Parking can be tricky depending on the day and time.
