this dinner exceeded my expectations! would come back and bring friends visiting. also a well priced restaurant.

chips and guac: some of the best i’ve had. great flavors on both the dip and chip.

tuna tacon: a must try! i’ve never had tacos like this before - so fresh, but the sauce packed with flavor. went back recently as wasn’t as good this time though.

birria quesadilla: delicious! not too cheesy and the birria was well made. don’t expect traditional birria with consome though

chichi clara: wasn’t a huge fan, kinda tasted like medicine to me but could see how it would appeal to others

drink with raspberry powder: don’t remember the name but this was delicious. creamy and fruity drink

a little corny: cool concept and great flavor but leaned too creamy for me.

Best Mexican I’ve ever had. I loved it so much, I went back for more 2 days later. The staff are very helpful and help in wine selection.

Our host was Juanita, super friendly and made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere was warm, and the bartenders were really nice, the fish tacos were delicious ?

The cauliflower tacos were absolutely amazing! I was not the biggest fan of their homemade soda which had jalapeño and a bunch of other herbs. It tasted like carbonated grass, but that was the only bad part. Everything else from the atmosphere and service was amazing.

I was so impressed by the way the restaurant was decorated. Super colorful and the atmosphere was cozy. The food was great too. I’m glad I made a reservation because it got really busy after they opened at 5:30.

Parking: Parking was surprisingly easy to find so I was pleased.

Loló in Los Angeles offers incredible Oaxacan cuisine!

The Ceviche was rich and complex, and the Tuna Tacon were perfectly crispy with generous toppings.

The service was warm and welcoming, and the ambiance is lively and festive. Definitely a top choice if you want to explore authentic regional Mexican flavors in LA!

Not the best Mexican in mission - underwhelming flavour and ingredients don’t stand out. They are in a hurry to turn tables which leads to a lot of interruptions while eating the meal and conversing

Very fun atmosphere. Drinks range from $5 tecate to delicious high-end cocktails. Food is moderately priced and delicious. Interesting takes like the vegetarian Al Pastor Cauliflower Tacos. Nice variety of selections. Service was great with everyone seeming to help all tables.

Vegetarian options: Interesting and unique vegetarian dishes.

This was our nicest meal out we had on our whole road trip of LA, Yosemite & San Francisco! So delicious, great flavours, great tacos, great atmosphere and great service. Our server Jean was absolutely amazing & helped us with some advice for our final day in San Francisco, she was super LGBT+ friendly & invited us to a drag brunch on the next day that was so much fun! Thank you Jean for making our time in San Francisco so much fun!

Dietary restrictions: Really great gluten free options!

What a treat. The house salsa sets the tone, the drinks bring the buzz, and the food comforts the stomach. Bravo. Had the mezcal martini, chips n salsa and fried fish tacos.

The woman with a grey shirt at the entry is so mean and arrogant, this is unbelievable.
We've been seated in front of the entry door, hence windy and cold.
When kindly asking for another table (and saying we can wait 10 more minutes) she told us that, in 5min, she will close the door.
15min after she closed the door for 20min... when asking to close the door another time that person get angry and said that "the door as been closed for 20min".

So I had to get dîner in the middle of a windy corridor, and couldn't say anything else. Lovely.

I go to the mission to eat fire Mexican food and was disappointed. To start the cocktails are more expensive than the tacos… like a house marg that is the definition of mid. The food we got was flavorless - no complexity no depth just bland. Also I ordered a quesadilla and it came in bowl. And finally - the lamp shades of the bar were blue buckets rimmed with lace - gag me. Ok I’m done. That should tell you enough.
