    Thai Tea & Ube Cold Brews, Iloko Moco with chicken adobo (front), and Salmon Belly Sisig (back)
    Angela C.

    I keep wanting to sing Copacobana every time I see the name of this place. (Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl...) I digress. It was my first time here and I came here to treat my friend for a birthday brunch and we enjoyed our experience. When we arrived the restaurant was pretty full, but since we were only a party of two, there was one table in the corner available to us so we were seated immediately. Yay! Our server was friendly and gave great recommendations for drinks and entrees. My friend got the Thai Tea Cold brew and Salmon Belly Sisig, I ordered the ube cold brew and Iloko Moco with chicken adobo. We both enjoyed our meals. The Iloko Moco was shredded chicken on top of garlic rice with a gravy and two eggs sunny side up. Very flavorful and tasty, a bit on the saltier side, but overall a good dish. My food was served on a colorful plastic plate which felt a bit weird and gave it a cheap feel TBH. It was like eating off my kids' plastic Gerber dish that they used when they were babies. Yes I always want to feel and look young, but I don't want to feel like a toddler when I'm dining out.

    Silog breakfast with lechon kawali and an extra side of tocino
    Alicia N.

    I stopped in for lunch and was greeted warmly when I arrived. They had some music going, and there were many available tables. The decor is cute as well. My server was helpful and kind. I ordered the silog breakfast with the lechon kawali and an extra side of tocino. I also had the buko pandan milk tea. I was informed that the tocino was made in house as it looked different from what I'm used to. The silog breakfast was absolutely delicious as was the milk tea. The tocino was okay. I would definitely be happy to come back and enjoy more of their food.

    lloko moco, adobo rice omelet, ube pancake
    Amy P.

    My family had visited Lola's before and wanted me to give it a try, so we stopped by on a Monday for brunch/early lunch. We were seated quickly upon arrival. Menus are available via QR code at the table, though physical menus can also be requested. Service seemed a bit stretched, as there was only one gentleman handling seating, drinks, and orders, along with two kitchen staff members helping run food. Adobo Rice Omelet ($14.95): Garlic rice with chopped chicken adobo wrapped in a thin egg omelet, topped with adobo gravy, fried garlic, and scallions. The chicken was a little dry, and the gravy leaned saltier than I prefer. This isn't a dish I'd order again. Iloko Moco ($19.95): Country fried steak over garlic rice with two eggs, finished with adobo gravy, green onions, and fried garlic. This was definitely the standout dish for me. The chicken was crispy yet tender, and the thinly sliced Thai chilies offered on the side added a delicious kick. Ube Pancakes ($14.95): Two pancakes topped with ube sauce and garnished with shaved almonds, toasted coconut, and powdered sugar. The pancakes themselves were a bit chewy rather than fluffy, but the ube sauce was absolutely phenomenal and made the dish enjoyable overall. Lola's is located in the same plaza as Haven City Food Hall and GW Supermarket, with a shared parking lot for several businesses. Parking can get pretty crowded during peak hours and some spaces are on the tighter side.

    hands down Lola MFK is all around amazing. warm and welcoming Filipino culture pride decoration inside. lots of natural light and seating. once on wait list, easy to get seated and not busy on a week day for lunch. we absolutely adored our kamayan enough for 2-3 people. tocino, longanisa, beef tapa, chicken adobo, garlic fried rice, egg, tomatoes, orange slices all yummy on top of banana leaves. the pandan coconut pancake was fluffy and moist. loved our buko and latte flight drink with pandan as the favorite. nico was especially kind, thoughtful, professional, prompt, went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of. will return again and again. an epic all time favorite gem. appreciated the diary free coconut whipped cream and coconut milk based drinks. in the future, will appreciate more gluten free and diary free options.

    This is a must try! Ube, mango, and avocado.
    Marisca S.

    This is a must try place. We ordered the pancakes flight. Ube, mango and avocado. The ube sauce is made with rich coconut cream, giving it an authentic flavor instead of the artificial "milk" taste that some places use. The mango sauce was delicious you can really taste the fresh mango purée in every bite. The avocado sauce was also excellent and adds a creamy, unique touch. Overall, these are some of the best pancakes I've ever had. We also ordered breakfast plate with Lechon. For me Garlic rice was dry but lechon was good. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

    Thai tea French toast, breakfast poutine with Loganisa, and Silog breakfast bowl with tocino
    Amy N.

    Tried this brunch place out for the first time, and it was really good! I would come back to try other things on the menu. My group got there at 10AM on a Sunday, and there was no line/wait. I did see a line start to form outside the door around 10:40 AM. Parking was easy to find at this time. The store is small and cute with lots of tropical vibes. Food was overall good! We ordered four dishes to share between three people: the silog breakfast bowl with tocino, poutine with longanisa, iloko moco, and Thai tea french toast. Portion size was good. We had some leftovers, which were enough for me to eat as my dinner later that day. My favorite was the poutine; it was so crispy and went well with the egg and longanisa! The only problem was that the tater tots got soggy after about 10 minutes so they were not as good afterward. The iloko moco and breakfast bowl were also good. For meats, i liked both the longanisa and tocino. The meats were flavorful and not too salty. I was not a fan of the Thai tea french toast because it was way too sweet for me. The Thai tea flavor was very strong. That being said, my brother liked it. He actually asked for additional maple syrup to pour on top of the French toast because he wanted it EXTRA sweet. If you have a sweet tooth, this may be the dish for you.

    First time here. Cute and clean place, nicely decorated with a mural of Lola. Our server was friendly and attentive. Parking can be difficult as there are so many eateries in the same plaza. Located outside next to Haven City. Our food was so tasty and flavorful. My breakfast bowl with the crispy pork belly was so filling. The fat on the pork belly melted in my mouth. It was crisp just right not charred. Our server suggested Maggi on the garlic rice and he was right, it was delish! The salmon sisig was tender and had the right amount of seasoning. I have never had Filipino brunch and this was such a great experience. I can't wait to bring hubby here... will definitely be back.

    chilaquiles filipinas
    Flora A.

    First off, thank you to the workers for still letting us dine in even though we were cutting it very close time-wise . We ordered a ton of food, and everything was delicious! For drinks, I got the ube cold brew while my friend got the buko pandan cold brew. Totally biased, but I loved the ube one more -- and ironically, she did too . That's not to say the buko pandan wasn't good; the ube was just richer and creamier while the buko pandan had a more subtle flavor. I ordered the Chilaquiles Filipinas with longanisa and it was absolutely worth having longanisa burps for the rest of the day (iykyk). My friends got the silog breakfast bowl with longanisa and the two egg breakfast with lechon kawali. The kawali was super crunchy without being overly fatty, and shoutout to our server for bringing us extra mang tomas LOL. Now for the real star of the show: the ube pancakes. I still think about them. So fluffy, decadent, and delicious. HIGHLY recommend ordering them, especially with a savory dish to balance everything out. The restaurant itself had a fun, lively brunch vibe and was pretty busy when we went. Truthfully, the only downside was finding parking, but that's definitely not Lola's fault

    Salmon belly sisig
    Kara S.

    Why haven't I been here sooner??? Went to Lolas after church because my husband was looking for a place with good waffle or pancakes. Saw that this place has a good pancake selection so suggested that we finally go and check Lolas out. We got seated right away since the lunch rush hasn't arrived yet. Cute little spot with pieces of the filipino culture sprinkled in their decor. We ordered their special salmon belly sisig (not yet on the menu), burger steak loco moco, fruity pebbles ube pancake, and the ube cold brew. O. M. G. Sooooooo good. All of it especially the salmon belly sisig (make it part of the menu please!). Check them out! They are open for brunch and totally a must try if you are in the area.

    Bangus
    Jami S.

    Such a delicious Filipino brunch spot! All the servers were soooo sweet and helpful. I loved all the decor. I suggest getting the cold brew flight! My parents and we were able to try all of their flavors. The ube French toast is a must! I got it with a side of chicken adobo. Deliciousssss! My dad got the bangus and omg it was amazing. My mom got a tocino. My dad loved it. My mom didn't really like that it was saucey. The nice waiter gave her a new tocino with less sauce which was nice and he definitely didn't have to do that. I'm definitely coming back with my husband and older daughter. I know they'll love it too.

    Milo Cold Brew
    Jay C.

    Seeing all the positive reviews for this place, I've been wanting to try for myself and it did not disappoint! As soon as we entered, we were greeted warmly and promptly seated. The place was cozy and felt like we had stepped inside Lola's kitchen. Our server was friendly, made suggestions and came to check on us couple of times. I ordered the salmon sisig (which came with a side of garlic rice) and my friend got the longanisa plate. For the drinks, we ordered mango juice and Milo cold brew. Everything was delicious but the real highlight for me was the Salmon Belly Sisig. It came out on a sizzling plate and the portion was more than enough for two. It had the right amount of tartness and I liked the crispy bits on top for added texture. Highly recommend and would definitely be back!

    Interior - "Psst.  Look to the right.  There's a Happy Staff Member."
    Ian A.

    I had a lovely experience at Lolas (West Covina). I ordered the Silog Breakfast Bowl ($15); I selected Longanisa (additional $2). The meal includes garlic rice, sunny side up egg, tomato salad, and a choice of meat (ex: beef tapa, chicken adobo, spam, etc). It's TASTY! The food is very fresh, well-prepared, and clean. I arrived at Lolas (West Covina) on Thursday (around 10:27AM). Parking is surprisingly easy because it's early; however, the lot is shared with the popular Haven City Market which is notorious for competitive, busy parking. Staff is exceedingly friendly, smiley, and personable. Staff regularly walked from table-to-table to chat and connect with customers. If you peak at my attached "interior photo," Staff sneakily snuck a happy pose. Staff is also efficient; I was helped immediately. The food took five minutes and 29 seconds!! EXTREMELY fast. As mentioned, I enjoyed the Silog Breakfast Bowl w/ Longanisa ($17). The food felt modernized for a more health conscious consumer; it lacked the saltiness typically associated with traditional Filipino food. Curiously, the Longanisa lacked the familiar "SNAP" when bitten into; rather, it offered a very soft, tender body usually found at a BBQ restaurant. These sausages were different but pleasant; they're sweet, plump, and gentle. Its rice is also a little dry, but it successfully carried the loving flavor of fresh garlic. Still, the cooked sunny side egg is the meal's showstopper, perfectly prepared and seductive. All in all, this meal arrived with a very picturesque and attractive appearance. It's a gorgeous and tasty dish. Concerning ambiance, Lolas (West Covina) is sleek and clean. The air felt fresh and well-ventilated. There's many tables, and the music is strong and upbeat like a nightclub. I appreciated the greenery and lovely artwork on its wall. Overall, I had a lovely experience at Lolas (West Covina). The food is delicious, fresh, and cooked lovingly. I found pleasant memories at Lolas (West Covina). If you enjoy Filipino food, this is an easy recommendation. 5 out of 5. "Just go."

    I want to try EVERYTHING on the menu. We discovered and came in today by accident and as Bob Ross would say, "It's a happy accident" The inside is beautiful and gives you all the island vibes, including the music. The fusion of Filipino and islands is EVERYTHING. Beautiful decor. The service absolutely sweet and top notch, and the food arrived so quickly. He got the sizzling tuna sisig and it was absolutely bomb. And served with garlic rice! I got the country fried steak adobo loco moco and it did not disappoint. Crispy, flavorful,garlic, sauces but not overly sauced. Over garlic rice and two perfect cooked eggs. It didn't stand a chance to be ALL eaten. Cannot wait to come back to try breakfast!! Also, the Ube cold brew coffee is heaven.

She ordered the sisilog (crispy pork with fried eggs), and I went with the Binagoongan talong (sautéed eggplant with shrimp paste). Both dishes were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly, rich, savory, and incredibly satisfying. We paired our meals with refreshing sago't gulaman, made with tapioca pearls, sweet syrup, and Filipino-style gelatin. It was the perfect sweet, icy finish. Customer service was great from start to finish. Staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Pang Inasal did not disappoint, and we'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu. Highly recommended!

It's a large-ish space, and I guess kind of like a sit-down place (not "turo-turo/cafeteria style like some Filipino joints), with a ton of Filipino snacks on the counter. Plenty of seats that have seen better days. A portion of the restaurant is covered in plastic to house some construction equipment ? I asked for the pork sisig ala carte and decided to add an order of kalderetang kambing and 2c of rice. Big mistake buying more than one entree when you are taking it home and have no clue how their food tastes. I trusted Yelp too much. . Sisig had a 1:1 ratio of meat to bell peppers. I also couldn't help but feel lile the peppers were undercooked, even raw. Maybe that was their style, but I also disliked the mayo on top. Now the kalderetang kambing had a strange fishy (gamey) smell in the car. When I tried it at home, the meat looked so red and tasted way too sweet, not at all like the Kalderetas I'm used to back home. The meat was falling off the bone soft though. This is my problem with Filipino restaurants in the US - if they can't make dishes better tasting than what I make at home (i rarely cook but im a good eater), I cannot rate them high at all. I've eaten too much Filipino food in my life to know what tastes good. I feel bad because the folks who work here/(owners?) are pretty nice and they were working on Valentines. But the current rating they have is misleading. If you're going for the big entrees like I did, and are used to Gerry's Grill type sisig, prepare to be disappointed. Yelp, you did not come thru for me this time.
