" Had an exceptional evening at Lola 55! Their approach to tacos is unique yet respects traditional chunks of flavor. I loved the mushroom and squash blossoms; they’re extraordinary! The only drawback was the service times could be quicker, especially when we ordered drinks. Regardless, the ambiance drove the experience forward. I will happily return to sample more items from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to check out Lola 55 based on the recommendation of a friend and I'm glad I did! The vibe is trendy and the service was friendly right from the start. I really enjoyed their selection of tacos—especially the Baja fish. How can I describe it? It was crispy, fresh, and seasoned perfectly! I was there during happy hour, which made the experience even sweeter considering the deals on margaritas. One note, the portions were a bit smaller than I typically expect, but the taste makes up for it. I would definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lola 55 has really caught my eye! Their creative take on tacos is exactly right up my alley. I stopped in with friends and enjoyed a mix of tacos, but my favorite was the fish taco, which was juicy and complemented by a spicy sauce. The atmosphere is lively, and the staff was quite accommodating, even with my multiple requests. I would say this is deservedly a Michelin recognized spot, but I do wish they had a larger drink menu—just a small note for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner at Lola 55 last weekend and truly enjoyed the ambiance and overall experience. The tacos were delicious! I sampled a variety—each taco had its own unique character and flavor profile. The pork belly taco stood out to me as one of the best things I've ever tasted! Service was on the front foot, and drinks were refilled regularly—very attentive staff. While I don't typically comment on prices, it did feel like the portions were a bit small. I will return again to indulge in more flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Lola 55 was an unforgettable culinary journey. Initially, I was drawn in by the buzz surrounding its innovative tacos, and I was not disappointed! The handmade tortillas wove the traditional with a modern twist, especially evident in the pork belly and horchata-flavored desserts. The cocktails were refreshing, but paired perfectly with the flavorful food. Service was decent, but it did take a bit longer than expected for my order to be taken on a busy night, so that's something to consider. Overall, a delightful experience that I would gladly repeat!

" 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*)
