What People Are Saying About Lolita's Mexican Restaurant

Featured Review

IN SHORT – With four locations in San Diego and a fifth scheduled to open downtown near Petco Park, this taco shop has been a local's favorite for 25 years. Founders Joaquin and Dolores Farfan coined the restaurant's motto "patience is the essence o fine Mexican food" to reflect the fact that all orders are prepared fresh and take a little longer than typical fast food restaurants. Regulars rave about the carne asada fries, California burrito and chicken chimichangas, but the menu also includes several combo plates served with rice, beans, guacamole and tortillas. – –

Best Mexican Food you can buy!

by ciscodan at Citysearch

The best Mexican food I have ever eaten. I have been eating at Lolitas Taco Shops for about 20 years. They serve amazing food.

From carne asada to nachos, this place is the greatest. By the way, the salsa is perfect.
