It's very tough to give a review when the restaurant has been closed!! I made a reservation on OpenTable for days out I got an email asking me to confirm my reservation one day out I got a text message to text them but I was still going. And when my wife and I got there the restaurant was closed with a padlock on the door!! Obviously open table did not know the restaurant was closed, the owners on website said they were open. Very disgusted with how this all went down. Somebody has to take responsibility and tell somebody anybody that the restaurant is closed whether that be the owners or open table.

Fajitas were over cooked and over priced. Empanada and tacos were good. Atmosphere is amazing and so is the service !

KRISSY FERREIRA

Went last night ( Friday) and I was surprised this place was not busier! Hidden gem of RI? Looooved our waiter he clearly enjoys his job and all the staff was happy, laughing, having a good time. The drinks are little pricey but delicious! The food was beautifully put together and delicious ( try the churros OMG sooo good) we sat out side and it was so nice… the inside is beautiful - loved the vibe and the DJ was playing some GREAT music- Very clean- I feel like this place is going to be very popular once more people learn about it. 5/5 will be back! -

The ambiance is a grungy Mexican vibe... very dark and dia de los muertos decorations. The food was ok. The service was great.

First of all the drinks and the service are outstanding. I heard that the food had changed since Covid and sadly it's true, the food has gone down hill. I was disappointed with the food I ate and won't be going back again.

Cute place to catch up with friends or quick girls' night out. The food and service were good - servers are very attentive and give recommendations. The music was awesome wanted to get out of my seat and dance. Not too loud and not trendy club hits. Just right for me even my 17 yr old daughter was dancing in her seat. I read other reviews where they said the music was SOO LOUD; it depends on the person you are and what you are looking for in a place. If you want less of the music you can sit outside under the tents and away from the LOUDNESS. Will attend again. Thanks and keep up the good service.

Music is WAY too loud for dinner at 6:30pm at night. More like a club scene for someone in their early 20's. I asked for outdoor seating in my reservation request and the hostess tried to sit us indoors where the music was LOUDER than outside. Service was extremely slow and we had to ask for chips and salsa. We were not drinking alcohol this night and we were never offered refills on our drinks or water. Calamari was over cooked and there was barley any sauce on top, we asked for more on the side to make it edible. Our dinner took about 1.5hours to come out. Luckily, everything was DELICIOUS!. Maybe consider hiring an extra waitstaff for dinner service and dropping the unnecessary DJ.

The food is really good and and our server was wonderful. The only issue is that the music inside the restaurant was really loud, it was hard to have a conversation.

The music was so loud you could not have a conversation, we felt like we were at a night club, we asked to move tables from inside to outside due to to the loud music and did not help. The drinks were all water down, the margaritas was like drinking lemonade. We ordered appetizers, it took about an hour for the apps to come out, now mind you it was not that busy. The queso blanco was not melted cheese was like they poured milk on a plate and warmed it up was gross. We also ordered calamari frito they bought us the wrong one, we got the calamari Lola, the calamari was frozen calamari you could tell from the texture and taste. At that point we did not even eat the apps, did not order entrees paid for the drinks and food we did not eat and went elsewhere for dinner. It was our first time there and I was very excited to go try it out, but unfortunately to disappointed to ever go back.

First of all…Michelle was amazing! I would go back any time and request her for her great personality and attentiveness to all her guests. She was busy and still made time for everyone!! She was on top of keeping the drinks coming and I did not have to ask her for anything—she was top notch. Jose was also amazing at communicating with me via social media and making sure we could get in! Kudos to Lola’s—make sure you visit!

Great service. The tacos were hands down the best tacos I have had in a while. My wife had the calamari and she didn't eat them because she said they were very greasy. The server notice and told us he wouldn't add it to our bill.

Gothic atmosphere, Live DJ plays today's pop hits. Margaritas are decent but WAY over priced! $45 a pitcher!! Menu overall is over priced. Food selection is very minimal but they made decent choices for what they chose to offer. Excellent Calamari! They don't have regular mayonnaise, just garlic aoli. I visited around 8:30pm. On a Friday.I believe later it turns into a hip hop, bumping, club. Unsure if that has changed. I doubt I will return.

Margaritas tasted like they had no tequila...how do you now have Sav Blanc white wine on menu? And tableside guacamole means someone come tablesidr and makes it in front of you!...and having italian food items on a Mexican menu is just strange!
