I love this restaurant. My partner and I rarely get to go out, and when we do we always go to Lolita. You are sure to get an incredible and creative meal and be treated like royalty. The bring your own tequila...

Lolita rocked. Such a cool concept, nicely tight dining room, and wonderful, wonderful food. I had the fundido and the carne asada - both of which were awesome, though next time I would probably get…

Fantastic concept with the BYOT. FYI, one bottle is usually enough... I once brought in two and got some funny looks from the staff. We actually cracked into the second one, but the rest is hazy.…

Bring your own tequila is the first great thing about this restaurant, but certainly not the last. From the chips and salsas they bring over after you've ordered to the last bite of cheesecake, this Mexican...

Lolita is just right. The food is right, the atmosphere is right and the service is right. No wonder why this place always seems to be busy. We went the weekend of 4th of July and the place was busy, but we...

Fantastic!!! I really have no criticism of any dish I've even been served. The carne asada is to die for - I have to force myself to order something else on occasion. I've also tried the duck breast, and the...

The food here is truly authentic Mexican. You won't find tacos or burritos. No reservations and expect long waits on weekends. We waited 45 min. but the hostess was nice to call us on our cell phone while we...

Lolita brings a twist to Philly's BYOB concept by inspiring BYOT (tequila). If you bring your own tequila they'll mix it into their special margarita mixes tableside for you. Obviously this is the…

I ate at Lolita for the first time during Restaurant Week. I found the food to be absolutely delicious, but my dining experience as a whole left much to be desired. I'm not sure if it was because they were so...

The food here was ok - generally tasty, but nothing outstanding. The margaritas were also fine, but again not outstanding. But the worst part of our experience was the very rude hostess. Our meals were taken...

Frankly, the last review about the rude hostess was way off. As a restaurant that does not take reservations and relies solely on a list of walk-ins, the hostess (actually also part-owner) is incredibly...
