    Ceviche boat
    Christanne C.

    Picked this spot because they had convenient free delivery to work. We just paid tip. Note: It would be beneficial if you speak Spanish, but they had someone else, that spoke English, take my order over the phone. -Asada torta. 4/5 -Cali burrito. Tortilla was really hard. Mostly fries. Very fatty asada. Pico de gallo was delicious. After reading what it was supposed to have in it, it was a complete fail. No rice or beans or onions or cilantro. Only had fries, Asada, a tiny amount of sour cream and 1 piece of lettuce. 1/5 -Sausage breakfast quesadilla. Just basic. Too many potatoes. Barely any egg. Barely any cheese. Would not get again. 2/5 -Aguachiles. Very spicy but delicious. Lots of sauce. Too much that it spilled all inside the bag and tons of sauce was still in the container. 5/5 -Ceviche mixed boat. Good mix of seafood. Good amount for price, but not enough lime juice, so not too flavorful. 3.5/5 -Baja fish taco combo. Tacos were small. 3.75/5 -Free chips tasted like they were made in older grease. Nobody ate them. Will we order again? Maybe for the convenience. Will we order different items? Definitely.

    My family and I have been a regular here ever since I was younger. It brings back so much nostalgia and joy for us to be here. Unfortunately, I think they changed management a few years ago. Ever since then it hasn't been the same. Went here today with my family and our waitress definitely wasn't familiar with the breakfast menu. There were combos that didn't actually include things on the menu (ex, the french toast combo doesn't come with hashbrown). We waited around 30-40 mins for our food, and it was just alright. Our combos came with toast too, and when we asked the waitress for it, she said "you have to ask when you want it, we don't just give it". I didn't know we had to ask for the food we paid for? Ever since management changed, we've tried to come back several times because we really enjoyed it before. Unfortunately I think this is the last time we'll be coming here.

    Authentic Mexican food Comfort food They always give plenty of food on your plate with free chips & yummy salsa

    Chile Verde plate

    The staff was nice, but paid far more attention to the tables with single men. That being said, we came about 1500 and there were only three tables with people so we hit the sweet spot time-wise. We shared five tacos then had individual entrees. I'll get into the details below. Tacos: we had the street tacos with cilantro, no onion. The corn tortillas were well prepared, we were able to make two tacos from each one ordered without the tortillas collapsing or tearing; definitely a treat. Al Pastor. I'm not usually a fan of Al Pastor, but here it wasn't overly sweet. My son said it wasn't the best he'd had, so we agreed to disagree. Pollo. The chicken was juicy and subtly flavored; although I prefer the hard chicken tacos at Baja Sonora, these were really good. Carnitas. The meat was juicy and really tasty. Birria. Very juicy and flavorful. Shrimp. Oh yum! The shrimp were of a good size, juicy and wonderfully seasoned. They weren't tiny, nor were they so large that they spilled from the tortilla; just a really good size to star in this taco. I ordered my usual "first time at a new restaurant" order of the chile verde plate. After the chips, salsa, and tacos I had to take most of it home, but only did so because I was taught not to waste food. Although the meat was tender, the sauce completely lacked flavor and the texture was...odd. The refried beans weren't bad, but the rice was completely dried out and crunchy hard. My son ordered the carne asada burrito, wet. He ate about half and shared a bite of the asada which was not seasoned at all. It also had no char so the texture was more braised meat than grilled meat. I was very happy we hadn't ordered a carne asada taco. All that being said, the chips and salsa were really (really) good. The chips were crispy, but not greasy or salty, and the salsa was a blended, not chunky, salsa full of flavor with no seeds or stems (don't ask! Lol) We'll definitely be back, but will only have chips, salsa, and tacos next time.

    This is the piece of plastic I got on my food

    This place is a Hit or Miss!!! I liked going here, but it's a hit or miss! Sometimes it's good and sometimes is bad!! Last 2 times been a miss for me. 1st time ..they fuck up my order then I get a piece of plastic in my food! ‍ Didn't drive back, I ate it but I was grossed out and just keep checking on my food.. 2nd time I ordered the Birria de Res with rice and beans the meat had nothing but fat & the nerve ! It was discussing I didn't even eat it! I wouldn't Recommend this place! I will be staying away!

    Aguachiles, watery & lacks spice
    Annie G.

    I came here because Tacos El Cuervo down the street was randomly closed. Visually: Really nice art. Colorful, vibrant and eye catching! they have tall comfy booths on the perimeter and tables in the center. They have jukebox my daughter and I used. $1 per song. That's pretty cool! There wasn't anyone in here, so I can't really speak of the ambiance or people around. Service: Service was good. Not exceptional. Very sweet woman. Didn't check in on us, so my daughter had to walk up and tell her she wanted ice cream for dessert. Still nice though. Food: Tacos Tuesday- so I ordered a taco de papa, carnitas, and papa. All of them were 3/5. Maybe the taco de papa was a 4/5. It had repollo, diced tomato, lettuce and the papa was nice and salty. So, it was flavorful. The Carnitas was really bland and dry. My daughter's chicken Tacos (she asked for cheese on top) were not grilled. The chicken looked like they just took it out the caldo pot. So it was boiled chicken. Not good. Aguachiles-Okay, I am particular with aguachiles, I eat them often and pay attention to details. The plating was esthetically pleasing because the pepino and onion were so thinly sliced. However, this is part of the reason why I think it lacked in flavor. The lemon juice marinade was really watery and doesn't taste like they put enough spices or chile. It was not spicy, at all. I had to use the limes they give you for the table, salt. Pepper, and asked for their spiciest salsa to add to my Camerones. A good aguachile by my definition would be SPICY, marinate a little more thick consistency (not watery), good slices of pepino that I can scoop a shrimp with, good slices of onion for extra flavor. This was just an underwhelming food experience.

    I'll have to give this location another shot. There were three customers sitting together at a table who received food and drinks. I place my order for the classics burger, no cheese, no onions, no thousand island dressing. Bacon,Pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, mustard and mayo. Burger arrived 15 min later with nothing but pickles and meet I ordered a margarita that was PURE SURGAR not sure what happened but I'll def give another chance. Expect to wait long for beverages and food to come out.

    Portion does not equal price, very little meat.
    Wendy W.

    Price does not equal portion. $16 for huevos con chili verde. Literally had 5 squares of pork. And a charge to use credit card. My bill was $35.28 and they charged a $1.41 "fee" for credit card on top of that! New owners are greedy. The busboy is gone, the servers have to wait tables and clean. I use to love this place, I will NEVER go back!

    My Carne Asada Chilaquiles & Eggs= SOOOO GOOD! hefty servings, had to bring it home.
    Dani S.

    Just wow. I miss my family up in Norther Cali and especially their cooking. My bf and I came across this and their food is so good! And affordable. The best chilaquilles ive had in a while. Ps- portions are large, you'll definitely need a to-go box.

    Well besides them taking over 30 mins to bring us our food my bacon avocado burger was burnt!!

I stopped by on a Friday afternoon and waited about 20 minutes for a table. The wait was well worth it because each dish offered an explosion of flavors. My favorite dish was the birria, with the salmon ceviche as a close second. The mole was great too, but I'd say the other two dishes were more memorable and something I'd return for. I can't recommend the birria enough, as the flavors were reminiscent of what I've had in Mexico, very authentic. The space is small and can feel a bit tight, but sometimes the best food comes from these types of "hole in the wall" places. Ultimately, I'd say give Lola's a try! You can't go wrong with Mexican food!

The soup here lacks the tastebud awakening zip that Don Chato's has. The ono fish taco experience was my fault... I hate fried fish taco, so I had lofty expectations, but due to the fact that I do not prefer corn tortillas, guacamole or raw onions, led to much disappointment since It has all three. Totally my fault. The butternut enchilada was lacking in the expected savoriness... this is being polite. The potato taquito was okay... but I am not a taquito person, so if you are I would seriously encourage you to try it. The star of the table was the Mexican corn. It may not compete with Cornman in Lincoln Heights, but it was decent. I scraped off the onions and toppings on the ono tacos, put the fish on the flour tortillas that another person didn't want, and topped the fish with refried beans, street corn and a but if the chicken tortilla soup broth to make due. When you are driving more than 30 minutes for this experience, I think you would agree that it was less that a proper way to celebrate a birthday. Oh and if there isn't any street parking. It'll cost you about 9 bucks in the lot. I didn't use the restroom, so I cant review its cleanliness. Our waitress was flawless taking orders and delivering food The restaurant itself has a great layout and an outdoor courtyard complete with propane heaters and umbrellas - I loved that... but my favorite part was out front, no not the seating area in the former parking spaces, nope... it was the collapsed woman on the sidewalk, walking her dog with snot running out of her nose because she was huffing some aerosol can of whatever. This truly set the mood upon arrival. Two stars for being close to a lot of other food choices to visit afterward.

Our waitress was absolutely phenomenal, super friendly and anticipating all of our needs (water refills, leftover containers, etc.). Service overall by all staff was friendly. We were actually presently surprised with the taste of the food, thinking it might be more Americanized but they actually had very authentic and tasty totopos (tortilla chips). The tomato salsa that came with the chips was also very refreshing. We asked for hot sauce too and the house habanero salsa really packed a punch! We ordered carne asada nachos, pork belly chilaquiles (from the brunch menu), a breakfast burrito, poke, and steamed clams. The steamed clams came in a rich tomato broth and the breakfast burrito was massive. The poke was just okay and the chilaquiles a bit too soggy for me, and the carne asada nachos a bit dry. Nonetheless, presentation and portion sizes were respectable. The last comment is that food here is quite pricey but that reflects the likely high rent of a restaurant in 2nd and PCH. Ola still exceeded expectations and provided a more than pleasant meal.

First, we asked for a spicier salsa, and we were told that it could only be served with our meal. What's the point of getting the salsa with the meal when we wanted to enjoy it with our chips beforehand? They also used to offer free horchata refills, but apparently that is no longer the case. Unfortunately, they also got our food order wrong. We specifically ordered beef enchiladas, and my husband repeated the order three times, yet we received shrimp enchiladas instead. Overall, the experience just isn't what it used to be. It feels like they are nickel-and-diming customers for everything, even something as simple as salsa or a horchata refill. I understand they are renovating the front of the building, and perhaps the cost of the renovations is contributing to these changes, but the customers shouldn't feel the impact of that. The staff at the front may look nice and presentable, but unfortunately, the overall service doesn't feel as customer-focused as it once did. At this point, I would recommend looking for another restaurant where the service and hospitality are more consistent and where you don't feel like you're being charged for every little thing.

Unfortunately, the huevos rancheros were pretty underwhelming. They came with two over-easy eggs over a tortilla that was very soggy. I personally prefer the tortilla to have some crispness so you can actually bite into it and get that contrast in texture, but this one was completely soft underneath the eggs and sauce. The ranchero sauce itself was very basic and plain. It wasn't bad, but there wasn't anything particularly flavorful or memorable about it. The beans were fine, but I didn't care for the rice. My partner's beef sandwich was actually decent and probably the better of the two dishes, although it still wasn't anything extraordinary. He also ordered a Paloma, but unfortunately that was disappointing as well. He could really taste what seemed like lower-quality alcohol, and overall the drink tasted mostly like watered-down Squirt rather than a well-balanced Paloma. Overall, nothing was necessarily terrible, but the experience was pretty average. I was hoping for more flavor and better textures from the food, and a better-balanced cocktail. Unfortunately, nothing really stood out enough to make the meal memorable. The staff and waiter were nice and pleasant and restrooms were clean.
