" I visited Lola 55 with my family and was very impressed overall! The tacos were mind-blowing; each one delivered a unique burst of flavor while still respecting traditional elements. The elote was also delicious! The atmosphere was just right; vibrant but relaxing. The service was quick and attentive despite the medium crowd. My only minor critique would be the pricing; it’s somewhat on the higher side for the portion sizes. Still, would highly recommend and will return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Highly recommend Lola 55! The tacos are adventurous yet grounded in authenticity, which I really appreciate. I got the carnitas and the Baja fish tacos. Both were stars in their own right—cupping together exquisite flavors. The atmosphere felt very chic without being overly pretentious, which I loved. I must note that service was a little less on point, as I had to wait to place my order, but it was worth it for that level of detail in food preparation. I’ll come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lola 55 is a taco lover's paradise! Their range of tacos is impressive, with the fish taco as the definite highlight. Each bite bursts with flavor, especially the handmade corn tortillas. The ambiance is hip and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a casual night out. The only downside is that the prices are slightly on the higher side, but the quality makes it worth it! I will definitely be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Although I was initially skeptical due to its upscale vibe, Lola 55 proved to be a beautiful surprise! The tacos are crafted with fresh, local ingredients, and the flavors are on point. The vegetarian options are surprisingly tasty, particularly the rainbow cauliflower. I've never had a vegetarian taco that surpassed my expectations like this! Plus, the staff was friendly and attentive. The only downside was the wait time during the dinner rush, but it was worth it for such delicious food. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Lola 55 was fantastic. The service was friendly and prompt, and the cuisine lived up to the Michelin praise. I went with friends, and we tried a range of tacos, including the fish, pork belly, and squash blossom. Every bite was an adventure in flavors! However, despite the exquisite taste, I felt the portions were on the smaller side—definitely a place to visit for the experience rather than trying to fill up! I’ll be back for more culinary delights. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lola 55 is undeniably one of the top spots in San Diego for tacos. The flavors are genuinely remarkable, and the creativity behind each dish shines through. I tried the shrimp and veggie tacos, and they were fantastic! The atmosphere is modern and colorful, perfect for a casual outing with friends. I also appreciated the diverse cocktail selection. Slight issue with the portions, as they seemed smaller compared to the price. Still an experience that I would recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lola 55 delivered an impressive taco experience. The atmosphere is upbeat and trendy. I ordered the fish and the al pastor tacos, both incredibly tasty! The al pastor was marinated perfectly and complemented by fresh toppings. However, I did feel the drink prices were on the higher side, and the cocktails were okay—not the best I’ve had. But the tacos? Absolutely worth a visit, and I’ll definitely be returning for seconds! " (*Curated Review*)
