- TTonySan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFirst time I went to Lolita's. The front end was very good. Our waitress was attentive without being obsequious. Food was very good and I believe was decently priced (for NYC). Laid back vibe. Would definitely go back.More infoLolita$$$$• Mexican• Rockefeller Center•4.4

- JJenniferNew York City •8 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 17, 2026We had a wonderful pre-show lunch on a Saturday. We were able to order from both the all day menu, and the weekend brunch menu, and the people in our party of 5 enjoyed food from both. Super friendly, great service and the food was outstanding. I’m dreaming about going back for the Beef Barbacoa tacos (really tasty), and the chips and guacamole were delicious too. Would love to visit again!More infoCarla$$$$• Mexican• Hell's Kitchen•4.6
