First time eating there. Good food and service. Good prices.

Friendly staff, locally owned, clean and well lit (lots of windows). It is inexpensive and popular with the locals, and they seem to do a great business at their drive-up window. Before you order you are served a basket of tortilla chips and salsa. The chips appear to be corn tortillas that have been deep fried ( a little thick for my personal taste) and then broken intro pieces. I've eaten there twice: I had the potato and chorizo enchiladas dinner ( three medium size enchiladas with a spicy paste--not chunks of potato or chorizo-- inside, covered with a red sauce) served with rice and somewhat runny beans for (if I recall correctly) under $7.00. This wasn't a bad meal, especially for the money, and I liked the enchiladas enough that I would return and order them a la carte rather than in a dinner. Recently ( my second time ) I had the Carne Asada dinner and my wife had the chicken fajita dinner. Each was $9.50, and I believe they are the most expensive items in the menu. My asada was a pile of very thinly sliced beef pieces, each the size of my palm. The meat was tough, dry, and had a large vein of gristle running through it. The meat was so thin that there is little chance that the meat will not be overcooked. It had grilled onion and peppers over it, as well as a few slices of fried potato. The pieces of chicken in my wife's chicken fajitas were also dry, and also came with a lot of grilled onion and green peppers. Both dinners came with beans and rice. At least this time the beans were not runny. I wouldn't recommend either dinner due to the meat, although perhaps beef fajitas might fare better. All dinners at Lolitas are served with a Pico mix, guacamole, and lettuce, as well as three corn or flower tortillas. Lolitas has a large menu, and most items can be ordered a la carte at a very reasonable price. I will likely return and just try a few things a la carte.

The service was speedy and the staff friendly. The only complaint is a minor one. The tacos were so juicy that they sat in a pool of their own juices. The liquid was seasoned well, though. I was given a cup of homemade hot sauce, and for me it was the star of the show. Very tasty, I just wish it were a bit hotter. That is probably my fault, though. I didn't think to ask.

Awesome carne asada. Authentic Mexican Food. QC Mexican food is finally coming around.

The waitress put the nasty paper menu on top of my chips. Food was flavorless. Tostada was soggy from grease. The enchilada was hard on one end. Left over half my food. I won't be back. Heading somewhere else to eat. I won't be back. Complete disappointment.

Absolutely 💯. Definitely has the Authentic feel of Mexican. The rice is perfect 🥰

The Waitress answered all my questions she was polite and Curious and the food was great 👍
