Bhavin Gandhi

The hippest Mexican restaurant/bar in back bay . Rule of thumb of a Mexican restaurant : if the salsa is great, food will be awesome. And this Lolita satisfies this criteria with flying colours.

Denise Dutton

They start your meal with a complimentary shaved ice (with or without a complimentary shot of tequila in it), and end your meal with free green-apple flavored cotton candy . What's not to love?

Katie Andrade

Wow this place is the bomb! Everything we ordered was delicious including the crispy rock shrimp , chicken quesadilla , and crispy empanadas . They give you complementary cotton candy which is a bonus!

Angie

Believe the hype! We tried everything. The empanadas , carnitas nachos , chicken quesadillas , & pollo asado are to die for. The watermelon mango mojito was delicious! The service was great too.

Desiree Robertson

Diablo margarita ! The street corn was awesome! Grilled steak tacos were also very good..they give you a grapefruit sorbet that comes out in a bowl that has dry ice so it looks smoky!

Irina

Very cool burlesque-ish atmosphere with dim light . Guacamole with bacon comes with 4 sauces which is a nice touch.

Julie L

Amazing experience: tasty tacos , little surprises along the meal like the cotton candy for desert . And you can't go wrong with a margarita . Better make a reservation for your table

Matthew Pires

Great atmosphere. Good staff . Delicious Food. Get the guacamole and corn bread , it's totally worth it. If you don't know already, they give you cotton candy at the end of your meal.

Ha Diem

Complimentary shaved ice w/ a shot of tequila , lobster enchilada , that corn , fried chicken tacos , strawberry basil mojito , Black Forest cake night cap... Just a couple highlights of my amazing meal!

Miguel

The chips , salsa , guacamole , tacos , and even the cotton candy are all incredible. You can’t go wrong.

Caroline

Amazing food! The halibut tacos were outstanding as well as the strawberry mojito . Churros are amazing!!!! You have to eat here if you love Mexican food !

Sue Yee

Excellent tacos , everything's good to be honest. Can't complain with complimentary chips and triple dip , grapefruit shaved ice w/tequila & green apple cotton candy at the end. :)

Ashley

The atmosphere is really great but you have to book a table for the weekend a month in advance. I would suggest just going here for drinks at the bar so there's no wait and the atmosphere.

Rainy Zhang

First time having food here, it was sooo good! We got picante guac , short rib tacos , and steak quesadilla . Everything was super flavorful! Also try the Diablo margarita , definitely has a kick

Dan Schaumann

I ordered the corn bread based on the tips I saw here, and I can vouch it's incredible bread . You need to try it. A very well spent $6.00

Sasha Naomi

The margaritas as amazing!!! This place is always a pit stop for me when I drop into Boston! One of my favs. Can get very loud so be prepared for that

Carol

Surprisingly they do brunch but the entree options are limited to 3. Got the broken eggs , but the shoestring fries made me tired of eating. The Mexican red eye is great.

Dana Villmore

Such an awesome place! Love the sangria , 3 salsas , and the cotton candy with pop rocks that comes with the check was so good! Mondays are all you can eat tacos for $7. Tons of fun for a date :)

Laura Wong

Very trendy , a lot of internationals visit here. Incredibly crowded on weekends, fabulous cocktails . Possibly some of the best margaritas i've had

Drinks were great- strong! They also give a few complementary items which is nice. The food is slightly underwhelming but fun atmosphere and drinks make up for it

Aaron Cecchini-Butler

El Diablo . Just keep them coming. Fried chicken tacos are no joke too. Always very busy but worth the wait

Tiffany Lopinsky

Everything is delicious, and I love that they bring you a cotton candy covered in pop rocks with your check!

Hoff

Wow! What a meal. Here goes: Bonita margarita , salsa trio, guacamole especial, pork and pineapple quesadilla and the corn bread . #aintnothinwrongwithcornbread

Giovanni Oliver

Always full here. Make res. even bar is full. Anyway bacon guacamole is good.

Alex Currie

The tacos , drinks, and the guac is awesome. The cotton candy at the end of the meal is really good too!

Eric Vieira

amazing meal! amazing drinks! amazing service! nasty washrooms.... come on guys - State of a washroom usually defines the cleanliness of a kitchen - concerning.

Priyanka Ravaal

The best selection of margaritas ! Each one with different taste. My favorites are diablo and broken heart! Love this place

Justin Braga

From the grapefruit and tequila slush to the chips and dip to the mango habanero sauce to the cotton candy . Go here.

Boston Phoenix

Our critic says go for the sticky spare ribs and the blackened mahi-mahi tacos . And even with 200 tequilas to choose from, coffee with Mexican chocolate post-meal is a must. Read more

Good sangria , Great staff , very kind and caring, so innovative the way they bring you the check with cotton candy , the guard tough but cordial, funny and fancy restrooms

ᴡ T.

Food is out of this world! Location is brilliant! Bar is awesome! Definitely yes!

Kim Scalamandre

Great food and atmosphere. May have to wait a while for a table. Guacamole is awesome. Mid week may be better if you don't want a twenty something crowd.

Max Saber

Execellent drinks, staff is hit or miss attitude wise but I had a great time there overall. The cheese dip is phenomenal!

Dema Alissa

Great chicken and beef tacos . Guacamole and street corn to die for 💗
