Creative space that feels inviting. We tried the guacamole, cauliflower tacos and the fried shrimp tacos. The shrimp tacos were out favorite with a jicama tortilla. The cauliflower tacos needed more flavor. Still we loved the atmosphere and would definitely go back.

Amazing food! Fresh and delicious menu. You can really taste the thought that went into every dish. The atmosphere makes you feel at home and the service was excellent. Highly recommend.

Good food, though service was a bit slow since it's popular and usually packed. Still worth going to try though

Yall, what are these reviews? This food was awful. I’ve never had such flavorless mole and unsalted chicken. Even the margaritas were unbalanced. Very cute place, but that’s about it.

Be aware: the menu prices at Loló do not match the prices charged on the final bill. Double-check your receipt before paying as every item on our receipt was higher than advertised on the menu. Manager adjusted the bill and claimed they just raised prices 10% this week. Not sure how long the overcharging has been going on but it ruined the experience for our group. The food is also average at best and overpriced for the portions.

I’ve walked by this place for years and I finally tried it yesterday. I fell silent when I took my first bite of the tuna tacos and proceeded to devour the rest of my meal. The grilled sweet potato was so delicious and satisfying on every level. The grilled octopus was splendiferous and was a great temperature. I also tried the ceviche and the guac. The chips were warm, salty and plentiful. I cannot wait to come back and try more food.

Nice vibe and good service. Fish tacos made with tilapia ugh and fairly pricey.

My wife and I were in the area and so this was our first visit to this restaurant.
Service was great, food was tasty, but the drinks were less than one would expect for the high prices. Having family who have owned restaurants, alcohol is where you make money but this place takes it to a new level.

Margarita - $18 - more ice than actual alcohol in a small tumbler glass
Hard Cider - $15 - not only did I not receive a full amount (like some places provide the whole bottle/can) but I received a small port like glass with a splash of cider similar to a skimpy pour at a wine tasting. When I finished it they asked if I wanted another? Seriously? Are you kidding? I want the full amount for the price I paid.
Water was free. Skip the drinks at this place because they don't understand people want a full drink for the money. And if you do order drinks, and they are all like I describe, don't come back. Unfortunately they will learn the hard way when they have no customers and have to close their doors.

I was really excited to try this place (coming from Chicago) but was quite disappointed. Cocktails were okay and so was the food. Service was great though. I probably would not recommend.

Great atmosphere, but the price to value didn’t quite hit the right spot for me. Food was plenty good but a bit pricy.

Great vibe. Come early to get in line or make a reservation or expect crowds.

Downstairs is fun. Great drinks with some fun unique ones like pickleball sour or their daily slushy.

Octopus is a solid appetizer. Also enjoyed the ceviche—not much shrimp but good seafood flavor.

Great tacos. Unique Asian-Mexican fusion like ahi tuna and fried chicken with spicy, flavorful sauces. Also really enjoyed the quesabirria quesadillas. Crunchy, juicy, tasty.

Can get loud. Pretty diverse clientele in terms of ages.
