Lola’s Argentine and Mexican Grill

I like their empanadas are really good. I had a really good customer service and good food. Is a place that i will definitely go back again. But let me not forget of their amazing price for the beer, just $ 2 a bottle of any beer that they have. U cant go wrong with that. Good food and good prices and great customer service

Love their combo burritos, tacos and bbq bacon sliders. I’ve coming to here for several months and service and food are fantastic. Good people, great food at a great price. Thanks

This is my favorite eatery in the Terra Vista Town Center. Every time I try something new on their menu I am never disappointed. My favorite meal is the Milanesa al Caballo which is basically fried steak with two fried eggs topped with Argentinean Milanesa salsa. Their fries and chips/​salsa are OUT OF THIS WORLD. The place is family owned and the customer service is always stellar! It is perfect for after or before going to the movies which is a few paces to the left of this restaurant.

If I could give a negative star I would so lets begin. Tonight I took my family to eat to kill some time before Movie started. We entered at 6:20 and a few customers in there already eating. The Waitress came took all 7 orders by 6:30. First plate of food came at 7:00 and we didn’t recieve the last plate of food until 7:16. Then after everyone was eating and I’m still waiting for mine, we ask the lady a few minutes later about my order, she said …” OH I DIDN’T HEAR YOUR ORDER ” …she said «I can take your order», I told her my movie starts in 3 min… FORGET IT !
I asked everyone at the table if they heard me tell her my order, everyone said as clear as day. At least 1 cook and at least 3 – 4 girl workers in this establishment.. AND IT TAKES OVER 40 MIN. TO GET OUR FOOD ! …I DON’T THINK I EVEN RECIEVED AN APOLOGY, OR DIDN’T THEY NOTICE OUT OF 7 PERSONS I WAS THE ONLY ONE NOT EATING AND FILLING MYSELF ON SODA… WHY SODA… BECAUSE THEY NEVER BROUGHT ANOTHER BOWL OF CHIPS WHEN I ASKED FOR THEM !!! …DAMN PLACE HAS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE… NEVER WILL I COME BACK OR RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANY FRIENDS !

I’ve passed by this place numerous times and finally decided to give them a try. As I walked in I saw they had lunch specials on a poster in the window. The girl at the counter asked me if I was going to eat there and said sit anywhere you want. She came up to me and asked if I wanted chips and salsa, didn’t offer a beverage so I asked for water. I ordered the 2 taco lunch special and she pulled her phone out of her pocket and said sorry that ended 10 minutes ago. (1:30pm) So I ordered the a la carte chile relleno and a shredded beef tostada. The beef was pretty salty, good thing the beans didn’t have salt in them. It was just ok. Now the chile relleno. It was topped with bell peppers and cheese that wasn’t melted. When I tasted it, it was weird because I tasted hot food and room temperature food. I picked around at it and realized the bell peppers were room temperature and were probably cooked earlier and weren’t warmed up when topped on my hot chile relleno. They clearly aren’t following the health department requirements for food temperature. If they were, the topping cheese would have melted. After picking around I realized there was a wooden toothpick inside the chile relleno. I’m lucky I didn’t choke on it! I looked around to tell the waitress an realized I was alone. Lol. Waitress no where around and no other patrons other than myself. She finally came out from the back and saw I was looking for someone and asked how every thing was and I let her know about the toothpick and asked her to take it off my bill. She did. It was also super stuffy in there with no air circulation. It was obvious that i made a mistake by finally stopping by this place. Sorry but I won’t be returning.

Great food. I had the beef and potato empanada. It was delicious. It’s close to the movie theater which makes it convenient. Very friendly and fresh food. I will be back soon.

My girlfriends and I were waiting for our movie show to start, so we decided to come eat at Lolas. OMG best decision ever! Their empanadas are the best especially with chimichurri sauce! They also have carne asada fries and let me tell you they AREN’T skimpy with the carne asada! To top off they have margaritas !!! I highly recommend beef and potato empanadas with a margarita on the side!

I like the empanada here it’s very good. You should try. It’s cost just less than 2 dollars.

Great people, great food… We love this place, they have awesome food… Their chorizo plate is super good — I have to say, I had a bad experience eating chorizo about 14 years ago and after that didn’t want to eat it anymore, well I trust the owners of this restaurant as our family has been going to this place and their other restaurant, Boca Burger in Claremont for years, so I tried it and gosh, no regrets, the mixture of the eggs and chorizo just melts in your mouth.
Michael, Miriam, Jessica and Taylor are the best!!! Thank you guys!

Pick a cuisine and stick with or be the absolute best at one.
I’m always leery of two cuisine spots and this is precisely why.
To be fair the argentinean Food was better than the Mexican food but the service is slow and rude.

Another great dinning experience! The staff is always extremely attentive and beyond cordial and food is always amazing and brought out looking as if it were to be in a magazine!

I’ve never eaten Argentinian food before so I ordered from that section of the menu. The worker there was friendly and recommended the Milanesa de caballo plate from the Argentinian portion of the menu.
The food came with fries on the bottom, steak, and then topped off with two sunny side eggs. I’ve never had Argentinian food so I don’t have much to compare it with. In my opinion it needed a little bit more seasoning such as salt on the eggs. It was still good, but I felt it was missing something. I even put the salsa on top of the food to give it a little bit more flavor.
I wanted to bring home some empanadas because everyone on Unilocal was raving about them. I will try them next time. I am willing to try this place again and order something different like the flautas and empanadas. I also want to try some dessert dishes.
The cashier was very friendly. I think there was a misunderstanding and she thought our food was to go, but I swear she didn’t ask. I wasn’t mad though cause we didn’t haven’t to ask for containers at the end.

Was bored and wanted to try something new with my wife so I started skimming through Groupon and found this place. We had limited experience with Argentinian food so I made the choice for us.
We tried the following:
Jalapeño Popper — Jalapeño and cream cheese in an empanada shell. Really good!
Empanadas — Tried the beef and potato, cheese and onion, and chicken. Also really good.
BBQ Bacon Sliders — Good but maybe more BBQ? Added chimichurri at the server’s suggestion and it was even better.
Canallones plate — I didn’t particularly care for it. It’s like a spinach crêpe with marinara and a little ricotta on top. Tasted better with the chimichurri of course. The fries were ok but nothing worth writing home about.
Milanese al Caballo (sp?) — Came with the same fries and a seasoned piece of fried meat. Was pretty good but I can’t compare it to my mother-​in-​laws milanesa.
Dulce de Leche Shake — This thing is like $ 2.70~ Where else can you get a shake for less than $ 3? Do it! Just… DO IT!
Service was fantastic (though that may be due to us being the only people in the store which, by the way, is fairly small (maybe 10 tables total?). The chimichurri sauce was the best condiment I’ve ever had and made everything that didn’t already taste great taste better. Worth going for the appetizers and shake but I think we’ll skip the entrees next time. For what it’s worth we were full by the time they came out anyway and ended up taking most of it home!

Ordered a 2 egg white veggie omelet with easy cheese. It was very greasy and over priced.$ 10.45 for the omelet and a sm drink.
However, the ladies were very nice and provided great customer service. I will definitely return to try something else and hopefully have a better rating to give.

1^st time here stopped in while shopping. Very friendly service.
Was not sure what to get so tried the meat and potato empenada with chimichuri and a Pacifico beer… delicious !
The jalepeno poppers are wonderful homemade and perfect amount of heat and I know I will be craving them! Really a nice suprise. next to movie theatres for a quick bite before or after a movie. The Service was wonderful. Greeted at the door when I entered by friendly Jessica and served by a knowledgeable, friendly Taylor who explained some menu selections when I asked. Both really nice and fast service. I will return again for sure!

I went here on the Advice of Jessica from Boca Burger April 30^th. 2015. I spoke to the owner and decided to go back on May 1^st. I was surprised at the quality of customer service of the owner.
Great food ! Extremely delicious food !
I am more than happy !
The Owner Mike is very courteous and a great host ! Excellent service !

Argentinian food is much better than the Mexican food. The empanadas of beef and potato was the best! The milanesa sandwiches we really tasty as well.
argentine beer is $ 2.00!!! awesome!!!
It’s a small quaint place. the service was good. only down fall was our food all came out at different times (there were six if us). they probably don’t usually have «large» parties :).

Let’s look at a few things:
Service Excellent
Empanadas were good & want to try more Argentinian food. Mexican side not really impressed. Just ok. But will be back to try more of the menu.
I really think they are trying to please too big a crowd & would be better served with Argentine focus. Mexican is a dime a dozen

Received a nice note from the owners who addressed some of my presumptions and questions about the chimichurri sauce. They say the have a mold press for their empanadas and don’t use frozen ones. Also they explained the red sauce is their own. I still prefer the taste of the grreen one though!
I’ll give them another try.

It’s a Saturday morning and my husband wanted to go to Tio’s Mexican (off Day Creek) for breakfast, specifically for Chilaquiles. But since we were just there last week, I persuaded him to go somewhere else so I found Lola’s on Unilocal.They had a 4 star average and I saw that they had Chilaquiles (perfect).
Apparently, they have been open for only 4 months. I like to give new places a try and support local businesses. It was a cute place and I had high hopes. Upon entering there was a young boy sitting at one of the tables watching Sponge Bob. I actually recognized him from one of the photos posted on Unilocal.He yelled out for his mom, who I’m assuming is the owner.
Ordered:
Chilaquiles
French Toast Combo
1 Small Iced Tea
======================
TOTAL $ 20.16
You pay upfront and they bring your food out to you. This is where the issues began.
The tables were clearly dirty and not wiped down. Since it was early morning, it had to be from the day before. We originally sat by a window, but the sun started to get too bright so we moved to the table next to it, which was ALSO dirty with old food/​crumbs and we had to wipe it down ourselves with some napkins.
FRENCH TOAST COMBO REVIEW:
The butter they dropped off to me was cold and hard. It was useless since i couldn’t spread it on my toast and it wasn’t really melting either. For my French Toast combo, I asked for SAUSAGE but they gave me BACON instead. Not a big deal, I’ll eat the bacon and it was crisp. However the French Toast itself tasted a bit off. I’m not sure if it was like a freezer burn taste or if the griddle they used wasn’t clean, but I didn’t finish it and thought it tasted funny. The hashbrowns were also undercooked and the texture was too firm. My eggs were cooked unevenly. One was runny and the other was cooked over medium.
CHILAQUILES REVIEW:
My husband’s Chilaquiles plate was just awful. The tortilla were supposed to be lightly fried with salsa poured over. Then the dish is supposed to be simmered until the tortillas start softening. Some recipes have the tortilla remain crisp. However, the ones they served here are more like nachos with a fried egg on top. It didn’t resemble anything close to a Chilaquiles dish and wasn’t good at all as the rice wasn’t good and the beans tasted like they came out of a can. My husband asked me to try some and I agree that it didn’t taste good.
My husband left his ENTIRE plate there and didn’t eat it. He ended up eating one of my eggs and half of my bacon instead. He seriously looked really upset and I asked him if he wanted to exchange his meal, but he didn’t want to bother ordering anything else after what he already sampled.
CONCLUSION: The ladies that worked there were nice and still gave them a tip, but I don’t see ourselves returning for another meal. I think one of the girls was new because I could hear the lady who took my order giving her instructions in the kitchen. I felt so bad since it was my idea to try this place.
Good thing they have the Farmer’s Market here on Saturdays. I had to buy my husband a tamale since he was still hungry.
