I had a mango habanero Margarita which was fantastic. If you like spicy I recommend definitely trying that out. It paired wonderfully with chips and salsa. The bartender was very accommodating and had great recommendations. She knew what she was talking about creating a wonderful experience for my wife and I. This place would be a fun place to bring friends and family to hang out. read more

Visited this place with my husband on a whim. We weren't too hungry, but we each ordered a steak tacos to try. We each also had a margarita. While waiting a long time for the two tacos to be made, we were given a complimentary basket of chips and salsa. I thought the chips tasted great, but something in the salsa was over-powering. The steak tacos arrived at our table with a side of beans and rice. The tacos and beans were bland, and the rice was mushy. Margaritas were average. Service: Okay. The restaurant had few people visiting when we dined in so we were seated promptly. A guy would often come around and ask if everything was okay. I did think the wait for just two tacos was a bit long. Value: * Food & Drinks: Approx $20 - $35 per person *Cocktails range between $11-15 per drink. Ambiance: Interior of restaurant is very colorful. Flat screen tvs in some areas. Music may be playing. Location: Inside the Gurnee Mills mall; 6170 W Grand Avenue, Gurnee, IL 60031 read more

I went for dinner last night in what we thought would be a nice mother-daughter dinner. I would not go back and would strongly recommend anyone go to one of the 100 GOOD Mexican restaurants in the area. First, the server and bartender were staring at us throughout the meal. It seems to happen there a lot as I'm not the first to comment on this. Weird and creepy. To make matters worse, when I opened up the box today for lunch, the avocado was dark black.....not brown like just a day old open avacado but black! Threw it out. Their rice tastes like the Spanish rice packets in the supermarket and the fajita was drowning in a pool of grease. read more

Do not waste your money at this restaurant. This was, without question, the worst Mexican food we have ever been served. We barely ate any of what we ordered. If you decide to go anyway, stick with the chips and salsa and don't venture any further into the menu. And what Mexican restaurant doesn't even offer queso as an appetizer? The kitchen has no idea what a fish taco should be. Whatever they served, it was definitely not a fish taco. The al pastor wasn't authentic either, it resembled pulled pork more than traditional al pastor and was clearly not prepared on a vertical spit. Unfortunately, the service was just as disappointing as the food. After bringing water to the table, our server never asked if we wanted anything else to drink. Once we finished eating, our dirty plates sat in front of us for over 35 minutes while we visited. The server never came back to clear the table or check on us. To make matters worse, the restaurant was nearly empty, so there was no obvious reason for the lack of attention. I'm not sure what passes for great Mexican food with the locals, but this certainly isn't it. We won't be back. read more

Food not even close to as described in the menu. Missing at least 4 key ingredients and had a vinegarette or something vs. creamy dressing on menu. Totally half-assed. Terrible service. No wonder the place was empty. Since they had only about 3 tables of guests they could have come back to fill our empty glasses (for "bottomless" beverages), or even take 2 seconds to ask if we needed anything or see if the food was ok. Didn't do either, and we had to go looking for the check. read more

Had a family get together there and the wait staff was very friendly and attentive. We all had several different dishes with only minimal complaints. I ordered the guac n chips which was delicious and chicken taco dinner. The tacos were very good but the beans and rice didn't taste fresh. Overall great experience and will definitely be back. read more

oh yeah ive been here back to back. the food is really good (their steak tacos and nachos con queso and guacamole). their watermelon margarita is really good i get it everytime and it comes w a shot too. The price is really good for the freshness and taste of the food. The staff are friendly and very welcoming. read more

While shopping at Gurnee Mills we stopped for lunch at Lola', and I am so glad we did! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a cute, young lady with a fun demeanor that took us to our table. Our waiter was a very great guy who was very knowledgeable and attentive. They bring you chips and salsa right away. I've gotta say, the egg rolls were amazing, and the steak tacos were delicious! The restaurant had a great energy, and the restroom was very clean! read more

We stopped by Lola's after a long morning of shopping and we were starving. It's a very cute restaurant and the staff is so nice and friendly. We immediately had chips and salsa which were very good! We had a hard time deciding what to order, because the prices were so incredibly high. We ended up not getting our first choices, because we couldn't justify paying $24-$28 for a lunch. We both ordered the chopped salad. The chicken was really yummy, but the rest of the salad didn't really do it for me. There was a "cilantro dressing" which I assumed was going to be a creamy cilantro dressing, but it really just tasted like someone had squeezed a lime over my salad and the flavor was a little overwhelming. Overall, friendly staff and great environment, the food was just not doing it for me and it was very overpriced. read more

Unfortunately the only good thing about our visit was the service. Cole was great, even though he was being run ragged. We got two appetizers and both were no bueno. Utterly disappointing in fact. The ceviche? It was 95% some whitefish that was so soft I'm surprised it held its shape. We ate a few bites then picked out the few random pieces of shrimp. We should have returned it after the first bite. Sam's Club offers a better version. The nachos? Canned cheese (!), a ground beef mixture, a few random pieces of lettuce and even fewer pieces of anemic tomatoes, topped with a crap ton of black olives, a sprinkling of cotija cheese, and jalapenos. With a glob of sour cream and tasteless guac. It was barely above 7-11 nachos (and I think 7-11 might be better because it's nacho cheese--I think this was just plain cheddar cheese). There are much better Mexican options in town. read more

Lola’s Tacos And Tequila - Steak Shrimp combo fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Gurnee, Illinois

First time coming to this place. I've seen and heard about but haven't been there. Had a girls lunch date on a Sunday. It wasn't too busy which was surprising. We went all in and got the strawberry margarita tower. Very good. The waitress told us they put a whole bottle of patron which we were really shocked about lol. You get complementary chips and salsa and we also ordered guacamole. It was good. Entree wise, we all got fajitas. I ordered the shirt fajitas. So delicious. Would seriously go back just for they. Shrimps weren't small which was a plus. read more

It was good. My dining companion and I worked up an appetite walking around Gurnee Mills and stopped in for a quick nosh. We could have filled up on the chips and salsa, but wanted to try the tacos and an appetizer. We started out with the shrimp cocktail appetizer. I think there were eight fresh, medium shrimp bathing in a tomatoey soup. I enjoyed it. Dining companion was overwhelmed with the tomatoieness (if there is such an adjective). I tried a coconut tequila cocktail and it was good, but a bit on the small side for the price. Dining companion enjoyed the al pastor Taco. I enjoyed the steak taco and a pork taco. Brought home leftover chips to snack on later. We will be back. read more

Lola’s Tacos And Tequila - Shrimp cocktail appetizer - Mexican Near Me - Gurnee, Illinois

Decided to stop by Lola's on a weeknight for a quick dinner. This place is located inside Gurnee Mills. Decent crowd on a weekday. Our waitress was super sweet and nice. But wasn't able to answer a few food questions we had on the menu. We decided to order 1 Al Pastor taco and 1 Carnitas taco and also a Ranchero Steak Entree. None of us finished our food. It was very disappointing. Mediocre at best. Definitely not worth the money. Overpriced and food was not good at all. Doesn't taste like it's freshly made. The Ranchero steak was over cooked. Hard to chew. Had two bites and nobody wanted to eat it . I did like the Carnita taco. It had good flavor. However, the Al Pastor was disgusting. I wouldn't recommend anyone getting it. The pork was very mush. Tasted like leftovers. The pineapple was not fresh at all. The flavors did not compliment each other. $4.50 for that? It was REALLY BAD. It was worse than a Taco Bell taco :( The rice and beans were not good either. Not authentic at all. Beans didn't taste freshly made. The rice lacked a lot of flavor. Again, worse than Taco Bell... I'm not sure how this place got good reviews lol overpriced and worst than homemade Mexican food. I hardly leave one star reviews but it was a very disappointing meal and definitely not worth $50. Maybe they are known for their drinks? But I wouldn't recommend this place for food. There's better places nearby that are cheaper and taste 10000 times better! The one time I didn't check Yelp before coming to a restaurant and this is what happens lol read more

Lola's Tacos and Tequila is a Mexican Restaurant in the Gurnee Mills outlet mall. I was a little biased about this restaurant at first, because it replaced Chicago Woodfire Pizza Co. (former restaurant before them) which was very good. Nevertheless, I decided to give Lola's a try. Upon entering, there's a ton of fun decor, and outside decorations and lights on the trees and in the vestibule as well. Our waitress was very friendly & gave us complimentary chips and salsa before our entrees came out. We had the Mexican Chopped Salad & the Sizzling Shrimp Diabla- both were very good. The Shrimp has a very nice kick to it, if you enjoy spicy food I think you'll really enjoy that meal. I didn't check Yelp! before coming, but I'm honestly surprised at the low ratings in the reviews (but I did not try any margaritas). The only thing I didn't like was the beans - it just didn't taste very fresh/hot when they came out while the other food did. Overall, I'd recommend stopping by at least once, good service and food and reasonably priced. read more

Lola’s Tacos And Tequila - Horrible food, tastes stale and old, weird flavor, not authentic at all, I rather have Taco Bell drive thru over this. - Mexican Near Me - Gurnee, Illinois

Yummiest margs!! My mom and I love to go here before shopping. It's great vibes and a bright, fun atmosphere

10/10- the food and drinks were so good!! Alfredo was our man!

Very friendly! Pablo made sure we understood what we were ordering. Would highly recommend will be returning in the near by future .

If there was a zero star option I would press it! Family of 5 we ordered a starter, enchiladas, quesadillas, fajitas and two kids items my children couldn't eat the cheese they said it was sour and it hurt their tummy, and the beans absolutely awful they tasted like they were dipped in soap and windex and the food overall came out cold. When we asked for the manager a young man came by and said we ate the food which we didn't we tried it being new customers and then another manager came over when we said no we're not paying and he also said we ate it and after a few minutes he agreed we did not eat the food! Absolute worst experience!!!!! read more

Service is excellent at Lola's. If you like good cocktails and tacos this is the place for you! We love the Blood Orange Paloma and their Mai Tai. The steak is nicely marinated, tender and not overly seasoned. The fish is crispy delicious. As to the price, realize this is a full scale restaurant and not a drive thru. The prices are in line with other quality Mexican restaurants. The decor is just like restaurants I've visited in Mexico. Bright and festive. I highly recommend Lola's if you are in the Gurnee area. read more

After a long day of shopping my son chose Lola's. Amazing decision. We got the sweetest welcome from our waitress, Parcilla. Bubbly, outgoing amazing personality! We ordered carne asada, steak ranchero and Lola's enchiladas with green sauce. The flavors were so good, steak was so tender. Our drinks were always full. We got asked multiple times but different employees if everything was ok and if we needed anything else! Cortez I believe was his name, came and picked up our empty plates... and was very nice. Super kind made sure our food was per our liking. LI would definitely give this place a higher rating if I could. MUST TRY!!! You can't find good service and delicious food anymore... this place is where it's at! read more

Lola's is a cute, upscale place tucked into Gurnee Mills Mall. The fajitas were very good and although my husband and I split an order, we still took home enough for dinner! The server even gave us a few extra tortillas to take home. Chips and salsa came with the order and they were both really good. The bar Coke was really weak, but that was the only complaint. read more
