Where's the Mofongo? https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1787tHPzjY/ I should have left upon trying the salsa. Sweet like ketchup fusion maybe? So they brought Cholula. I can't say greasy oily meals aren't delicious but. .. the so called Mofongo was a mini vegetable pie with a bland plantain crust similar to tamale consistency. Presentation was lovely. Service was icy like the coke. To serve a quarter cup of grease can only afford a heart attack if enjoyed more than once a year I tried to check in on Facebook but I was immediately blocked. read more

Place has gone downhill since previous owner sold. Service was excruciating slow waiting over 45 minutes for our order to be taken, even longer to get our meals. They were also out of some food. This shouldn't happen on a Thursday, a day when provisions should be stocked for the weekend. When the food arrived it was cold, cold rice, cold beans, cold platinos. Extremely disappointed as this used to be our go to place for Caribbean food. Not anymore. read more

Is there a six star option because this place is that good! I wasn't familiar with this place but I was nearby and it showed up on Yelp. Boy am I glad I tried this place! Everything is fresh, the portions are generous and the service is excellent! It has a unique blend of Caribbean, Puerto Rican, Mexican and South American. It hits quite well with all of these! I had the Molcajeta, which featured steak, shrimp, chicken, cheese, peppers, noplan (cactus) and a tomatillo sauce. Amazing! Every aspect of it was fantastic. The corn tortillas and the beans on the side were quite good too. My wife had the Mofongo which she said was the best she'd ever had. She's difficult to please when it comes to food. The steak was tender, the fried plantains were amazing and I will have a difficult time deciding whether to order this or the Molcajeta next time. The empanadas are a great appetizer. We had the cheese and the ground beef and both were worth ordering. My daughter loved the chicken sandwich, my son enjoyed the nachos and my two younger ones had the chicken strips and both were happy. I was so full I had to box half of mine, and I finally have leftovers to be excited about. Despite being full, I ordered the flan. My kids tried it for the first time and were impressed. I really liked it too. What an excellent place! It's small, and most people are regulars. It's a neat spot! read more

My wife and I had dinner here tonight along with another area couple. I found the food good and the service was excellent. We shared a platter for two people which could have easily fed three,, A combination of many flavors. Food quality was fresh but I felt a couple of the items on the platter were tasteless and perhaps cooked earlier in the day and perhaps dry?? Chips and salsa were good We may return another time and try something else from the menu. read more

Lola B - Lulu's Sampler Plate - Puerto Rican Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

The Caribbean steak Spanish style had a delicious flavor salad was crunchy fresh bean rice were good friendly waiter

The fish cerviche was good... however it lacked a little "zing" ... it also did not come with chips, but they do give the table chips and salsa so I used those chips. The kids chicken strips were not traditional chicken strips. It was breaded chicken breast then cut into strips. It wasn't bad just not expected. read more

Food was great, service was great. Everything you want in good, authentic Mexican restaurant.

Neat little cantina tucked away in between several other businesses. The staff are so nice and all help to take care of customers. Love the food and fast service! read more

The ambiance was okay, but the food is lacking which is a big disappointment. We came here last year and were so happy with the puertorican food but now is more Mexican/South American. read more

One of my favorites for an enjoyable take out. The mufungo is good but not the best, a bit drier than others I had. I am not sure how the dish would be prepared if dining in but was surprised to find all of the Lulu Latins nacho toppings to have been packaged separately. While not expected, it made for a fun make your own nacho night. Shrimp a la diabla mofongo and anything made with penil (i.e. slow roasted pork) are my favorites. Was not a fan of the lobster empanadas. Staff are very friendly and service is always great. The restaurant is small so be patient if it's a busy night. Would suggest calling if you are tight on time. read more

My Wife and I just became aware of Lola B's recently although we live fairly close to Lexington, We decided to give Lola'a try and are so glad we did. She had the fish tacoe and I had the poblano peppers as well asa side of yucca fries. All were incredible IMO. We will be back very soon. read more

Delicious food. The Guac was perfect. Chops came out hot and fresh. The food was perfect. Lots of good Latin options. I would highly recommend eating here. read more

Always top notch service and wonderful food! Nothing but good vibes and smiles. The food is a nice change of pace for the area. Their cheesecake is also amazing!!! I'm normally not a fan on any toppings on cheesecake, theirs changed that... It's definitely worth the ride if you're out of Lexington. read more

Great food! Great service! Everyone was so friendly! The live music was fantastic! I can't wait to come back! read more

Lola B - Ceviche was delicious! - Puerto Rican Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

A hidden gem! Warm and welcoming atmosphere and staff; greeted with smiles by all. Exceptional food. Truly authentic!

Very clean restaurant, excellent service, large servings. Unfortunately everything was very greasy; from the rice to the Cuban sandwich to the soggy fries. You could see the visible oil bead up on the bread when you gently squeezed it. We won't be back. So disappointing to spend over $30 for at best a mediocre meal. read more

Best food, Best service!!!! My mom came down from Florida and we took her there she asked about Croqueta and the Chef did it out of the menu special for her. and it was fantastic!!! She had a great Birthday Thank You!! read more

My husband and I have eaten here twice and both times we were pleasantly surprised with how good the food is. We have had both Mexican and Cuban dishes and agreed that everything is seasoned really well. We have had the chicken mole, chile poblano, carnitas, Cuban sandwich, and chicken verde enchiladas so far and everything has been excellent! Servers have been friendly and attentive each time. This will be a place we will keep coming back to. read more

Food was tasty. Got mofongo with chimichurri steak. They brought the plate out and I asked where the chimichurri sauce for my steak was and he said they didnt have any. You would think they tell you that at the time you order in case you rather go with something else but no. Food was tasty and place was very cute so i still have to give them a good rating. read more

It was about 2-3 pm late lunch. So inside was comfortable cool and quiet. But the service and food was #1 in my opinion. We had the chicken with chorizo and mushrooms with a yummy bit of white queso dripped over it served with corn or flour tortillas. Also shrimp toestorones with avocado on it. Wonderful! On the sweeter side we had the can't timber proper name but it was the green plantains with a sweet sauce on it. Loved it. It also with the chicken dish it had rice with it also. So all that little rates of a couple of the many other things to choose from we enjoyed our lunch chatting in a great atmosphere and it was the perfect lunch out. I believe they have a couple of small bands for some relaxing music that I think play like two nights a week probably on Fridays. The staff was right on it with excellent service and very kind people. Would have been better if she understood us skittle better. No just kidding we figured out how to communicate pretty quickly. So go try a great Latin cuisine with a lot of different choices on menu. And enjoy yourself. Right in Lexington near flight deck in Lexington. Called Lulu's!! Thanks. C. T. read more

I was so excited to try Lulu's as I love Latin cuisine. Unfortunately, my meal was terrible, I had the Camarones Al Ajillo (garlic shrimp), empanadas and sweet plantains. The empanadas were very bland/ didn't have much taste which was very disappointing. The garlic shrimp was made with frozen stir fry vegetables which were mushy and had a distinct frozen taste, another big disappointment. The sweet plantains were the only thing I enjoyed. My daughters ordered chicken and steak tacos they said they were decent. We got the sopapilla cheesecake for dessert and none of us liked it. read more

Lulu's is under new management. Check the reviews prior to going and the reviews were not to promising. My first time there and was pleasantly pleased with the food and service. Looking forward to my next meal at Lulu's. read more

Lulu's might be hard to make out in the strip between all the other places there, but if you are looking for good, authentic, fresh, flavorful, tastes-like-grandma's-kitchen food in relaxed atmosphere, you should find them. Now! We went there on a date night with my husband, who is Puerto Rican, and attempted to order half the menu on sight. Everything was delicious, absolutely everything! I had the mofongo with tilapia for dinner with the sweet platanos, and LuLu's guac for appetizers. He ordered the carnitas fritas with white rice and yuca, and wanted to order another one for desert. Changed plans when we ordered the flan. That flan!!! Their cocktails were delicious as well. The owner came to chat for a bit, and the staff was beyond friendly and accommodating. We moved to the area three and a half years ago and without a doubt this was the best meal we have had out since. Found out they have live music on Wednesdays too! Basically, if you end up going there, chances are we will be at a table nearby! (Sorry I didn't take more pictures, but will next time!) read more

Lola B - Tilapia mofongo with veggies and house salad. - Puerto Rican Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

If I could fly I've this place 0 stars I would. My family and I were really excited to eat based on the reviews we saw on google... however, to be frank the food was terrible! Kraft bottled salad dressing, canned beans and needless to say the rest of the food was very bland. My family was starving so they ate most of their food. I on the other hand did not because I rather have grabbed some Taco Bell on the way home lol I didn't eat my dinner so I politely asked them to take my entree off the bill. What happened next was surprising... the manager came over and was disrespectful to my family and I. Anyways, the situation escalated from there cause I personally don't kindly to anyone being disrespectful to me or my family. Save yourself the time and go elsewhere... no hospitality and bad food. read more

The empanadas were excellent, besides that my main course was mofongo with "skirt" beef that was over cooked and not good at all... too bad because I was really looking for a good mofongo con churrasco... oh well.. it sucked read more

Restaurant is VERY small. 10 tables basically. We were sat and waiting 10 minutes for menus before I just got up and asked for them myself. Service was terrible. Asked for sweet tea it was not sweet at all! Then asked for a Diet Coke, was told they were out. Settled on coke and it was extremely flat. My friend ordered an alcoholic drink and she was brought out the wrong one. Food was okay at best. Will not be going back that's forsure. read more

The chorizo cheese dip Is amazing. The California burrito could easily feed two. I'll be back. read more

Great food, music, and service . Fun with my friend and meeting new people. Great time

We always get la bandeja para dos and it is amazing. Everything is fried to golden perfection and the food is more than enough for you to take leftovers home. read more

We waited an hour for our food. We were there on "live music" night and were placed right in front of the amplifier. It was so loud we couldn't converse. Our party was too big to move to another spot in this small restaurant. read more

This was our second time to this restaurant. Our first experience was pleasant but this second go around was extremely disappointing ! Where should I even start No inside seating available so we allowed them to seat us outside but asked and were told that when a table inside becomes available we could have it (it was getting ready to rain and we had two small toddlers with us ) we reminded waitress various times that we would like a table inside. We never received a table even after she came out telling us they were getting us a table ready then proceeded to tell us they gave it to someone else all while our toddlers were getting rained on. Outside. We then order the sampler for 4 people the waitress told us it could take a few extra minutes due to it being a large amount of food we agreed but we never expended to wait an 1.5 for our food to come ! If that isn't enough already I asked for sweet tea and got unsweet then asked for a packet of sugar which they didn't have. After speaking with the manager who seemed to understand our complaint he took our checks and said he would return with some sort of discount (which would have at least made the experience a bit more pleasant ) but then proceeds to come out again with an attitude and hand us the same exact check for the same amount. The friend swig came with us never even got there food and by the time it was supposed to come out we were all ready to leave. They tried to charge them for undelivered food also . Hen teh manager was spoken too a second time he got mad and threw the food in the garbage ! Extremely unprofessional will not be back and will make sure others know wheee not to go . Don't waist time or money ! Oh by the way the mofongo was dry ! read more

We were pleasantly surprised with our recent visit to Lulu's. Beyond the relaxed atmosphere and the attentive waitstaff, our meals rivaled the food we've experienced on our Caribbean vacations. I had the tilapia with mofongo and shrimp. The fish was nicely seasoned, the mofongo delicious and the shrimp plentiful. I especially enjoyed the sautéed fresh mixed vegetables that accompanied this dish. They were an appreciated improvement over the usual afterthought side. My wife said her Bistec Encebollado, (steak and onions), was a step up from her Puerto Rican mother's. My wife also enjoyed a Mojito for a true taste of the islands as well. We'll plan to be back one Wednesday night soon for live music night to add to the experience. read more
