We originally found Restaurante Lolita while researching places to eat in Puerto Peñasco. We had…read moreactually seen a video about it on YouTube before our trip, and when we checked into our hotel, one of the employees also recommended this place for their buffet. So, of course, we had to give it a try!
We tried a little bit of EVERYTHING, and there were so many options. They had pozole, picadillo, chicharrón en salsa verde, beans, rice, pancakes, and so much more. They also have an omelet station tucked into the corner. I completely missed it during our visit, but now that I know it's there, I'll definitely be checking it out next time!
For our table, we decided to get just a little bit of everything so we could all taste the different dishes. I literally took about a spoonful of each of the meats and dishes because I wanted to try as much as possible. Everything we tried was delicious.
They also bring handmade tortillas to the table, which is always a huge plus for me. They have aguas frescas available at the station as well -- jamaica, tamarindo, and an orange drink that reminded me of old-school Tang.
And I have to talk about the desserts! I'm not really a dessert person because I don't like pastries that are overly sweet or sugary, but these were REALLY good. We got one piece of each and shared them around the table so everyone could try them, and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious they were.
The service was excellent, the restaurant was very clean, and the atmosphere was beautiful. The decor is really well done, and there's this gorgeous brick dome in the center with a beautiful chandelier that really adds to the whole aesthetic. It gives the restaurant a really nice, authentic feel.
Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Restaurante Lolita. Great variety, delicious food, handmade tortillas, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere. Definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're in Puerto Peñasco!
I'll definitely be back and next time, I'm NOT missing that omelet station!
