Don Lolo’s

The food was good but the service was not good. I ordered pork carnitas and the waitress brought me beef. Carnitas are always made with pork. She then argued with me and blamed me for the misunderstanding if you advertise Mexican food at least you should know that carnitas are made from pork not beef.

I’ll start by saying I started coming here in 2008, when they gave a decent amount of food for about $ 9. Now in 2015 the amount of skirt steak served is extremely small in comparison, however you still receive about half a pound of rice. The price now is almost $ 14. Now that LA Granja is open I often go there since it is the same amount of food for almost $ 5 less, and their taste level are about the same.
The food is very flavorful. I’ve has the skirt steak nearly 75 times and the chicken breast about 30 times. The taste is pretty consistent. My sides are typically rice, beans, and either fried plantains or mixed vegetables.
Service ranges depending on who is serving you, I only order to go. The main players are the grandma, mom, son, and daughter (not sure if they are really a family but this is how I know them in my head). The grandma almost never speaks, and I think she is the owner. I’ve walked in before while she is was in the dining room and she would say nothing and left me just standing there waiting for someone else to come out. The mom is ok. Not really friendly or mean. The kids are a little better specially the girl. Once I came in, paid for my food, then I had to walk to a table and pic up my bag of food since he walked away.
Overall, food is good service is not the best depending on who you are.

Great food, reasonable prices and friendly staff. Some of the best Cuban food in the area.

Pretty tasty! Nice staff. Served the fajitas de carne on a cast iron pan which was cool because it was so fresh. Recommended! Probably will eat here again if I’m in the area.

Good food and friendly staff. Reasonable prices. My go to spot for lunch when I’m in the area.

This is still a pit stain on Hallandale.

I’ve eaten at a ton of Cuban restaurants and this little place is by far my favorite. The food is always hot, delicious and the service is great too. If I had a Cuban grandma, I would hope the food would taste just like theirs. Yummy!

Good food great people, is a family business and they are proud of there business. Love the music o mhm e days Cuban other mana! Us great!

With your choice of authentic Mexican or Cuban dishes, you can’t go wrong! Many options and delicious food! Great service a well.

Family owned hole in the wall restaurant that offers good food at good prices! We used to go to La Granja a block away regularly but decided to try this little spot and never went back to La Granja again. The black beans are the most flavorful ive had in the 11yrs I’ve lived in S Florida and their Churassco steak is the best priced! The Mexican food is really good too! The service isn’t always the best, but its also not the worst. Now that we’ve become regulars were taken care of well… unless theres a new server.

love their churasco steak know I spelled it wrong. but for $ 8.99 the portion is great and the steak is yummy. I love going for lunch it is great value for the price. the portion is really good and the rice and beans are the best tasting I have ever had. the service is good the girls are really nice. it is a small restaurant but I have never had a problem getting a table for lunch. I highly recommend it.

If you are in the middle of a thunderstorm… and traffic is really backed up… and you can’t wait the extra mile to get to Taco Bell, then don lolos is a great idea! Surprisingly good given the first impression.
PS Don’t ask for Mountain Dew. They don’t have it.

The Cuban food deserves a four star review but it’s a dive so three. Visiting from Atlanta GA (all our best restaurants are dives too) this one stuck out as a must-​try. Glad I stopped. Delicious grilled chicken topped with onions, side of rice, black beans and fried plantains. Nothing fancy, just a solid Cuban style meal for $ 7

I wish there were zero stars. I don’t know why I have stupidly given this place business again! NEVER AGAIN. That idiot lady that answers the phone screwed our order up yet again and argued with me, instead of make it right. This place has bad service, and the food has went way down the drain along with their portions and quality! Rip off! Avoid this place at at all costs. Go right up the street to Padrino’s Cuban cuisine instead, where they make good food and value your business.

Visiting from Los Angeles. The Florida dudes wanted Mexican I wanted Cuban. Everyone wins here.
Empanadas are fuego, Mexican food is legit. –extremely pleasant surprise.

Was visiting Fl from NC … We ate here three times during our visit. The Cuban Sandwich’s ~ Quesadilla & the Steak Sandwich’s were really good… But the Ropa Vieja was awesome… We will be back in April to visit again. Can’t wait to get another serving of this great food :)

Lunch special is a deal and the food is so good. Super small place only a few tables but can’t complain the food is always fresh and so tasty. Fried pork is real good as well as the chicken with all sides. Haven’t had a bad meal here and the people are very nice

I had never ordered from these people before and I never will again. This is my first and only experience with them.
I had made an order and was never told of any delay. They actually estimated about 45 minutes. Which was fine by me since it was lunchtime and can moderately anticipate that they had a rush.
I had ordered a simple chicken ready with rice/​beans and plantains with a side of fries. I didn’t have any idea that it takes an hour to make it and 45 minutes to deliver.
After an hour I called them and asked about my order. They said «it just went out and should be there in 10 – 15 minutes». A half-​hour later I called again and the guy on the phone said… Oh it JUST left 2 minutes ago. It should be there in 10 – 15 minutes. WHAT!!! Didn’t they tell me that 30 Minutes ago???
After 1:45 later I finally got my food, lukewarm, and the quality not as good as can be expected for waiting over an hour and a half. They obviously had my food just sitting around because they forgot and then sent someone in a hurry. My job is maybe a 10 minute drive at best from their location.
They lied to me, whether by accident or on purpose 2x. When they took my order and then again when I called to check it the first time. Maybe 3x if they had lied when I asked the 2^nd time.
They are not that good, they are not that cheap, and they are not that serviceable to make food worth one hour and 45 minutes wait.

Don Lolo’s doesn’t look like a classic restaurant. It looks more than a basic café so you shouldn’t be confused by its looks. It’s been the place I’ve chosen for a couple of years as my must go place for those days I’m not dressed up and want a relaxed lunch or dinner in the area.
They have a combination of Mexican and Cuban cuisine, but their Cuban options are more «original» than the Mexican which are not bad at all either.
They have outdoor seating and service is good and gentle.

been meaning t stop in forever. Went for lunch while car was @ Jiffy lube.
Grilled boneless chicken thighs rice beans chimi churi Sauce great homemade salsa. avocado salad just sliced avocado

First of all, if you are looking for authentic Cuban & Mexican food in Hallandale/​South Beach area you have to check this place out! The Camarones Criollas is excellent especially paired w the café con leche. Delicious! If you love pernil and pollo asado, THIS is the place!!!
