About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for groups
  • Great for outdoor dining
Nestled in the heart of Old Town La Quinta, our family-owned Latin tapas restaurant celebrates bold flavors, vibrant culture, and unforgettable hospitality. Led by Chef Chad, our kitchen showcases authentic Latin cuisine inspired by flavors from around the world, brought together through an inventive, share-style tapas experience.

Our signature dishes include our Spanish Paella, rich with tradition and depth, and our Brazilian Steak Skewers, expertly grilled and packed with flavor. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted and unlike anything else in the area.

We are proud to be part of a family of successful restaurants, alongside The Hideout on El Paseo and Grill-A-Burger.

Guests are invited to dine on what many consider the most beautiful patio in the area, a cozy yet energetic backyard setting paired with expertly crafted cocktails and an atmosphere that blends warmth, style, and Latin soul.

    The artichoke jalapeño dip was delish with homemade taco chips, really enjoyed the manchego and fig salad, the chicken skewers were well flavored, the chicken empanadas outstanding, pork ribs tender and cooked perfectly, good sized portions when combined with appy and salad. Everything was delicious and the patio table looking up at indigo skies thru the palm trees in a quaint market square was perfect. Definitely will return for the food quality and ambience.

    After taking a good friend to her birthday celebration at Lola’s I have recommended this restaurant to several of our friends! The Spanish wine was delightful! The waiter’s suggestions were delicious: the Brazilian Steak Skewers and the Chicken Empanadas! They surprised my friend with a seriously decadent Cinnamon, Carmel-filled Churro with vanilla ice cream! We sat in a comfortable, rounded booth on the patio overlooking the Town Center with gorgeous mountain views. What a lovely place to enjoy a memorable meal!

    A tapas style restaurant in La Quinta Old Town, offered a fun and delicious selection of dishes. The portions were quite generous, so I suggest ordering a few to start and add based on your appetite. Of course, take home leftovers are a treat, so explore the menu to your liking. Service was excellent, along with a creative cocktail menu.
