I had the beef and bean burrito and the beef was steak!
Before you order you are served a basket of tortilla chips and salsa. The chips appear to be corn tortillas that have been deep fried ( a little thick for my personal taste) and then broken intro pieces. I’ve eaten there twice:
I had the potato and chorizo enchiladas dinner ( three medium size enchiladas with a spicy paste–not chunks of potato or chorizo– inside, covered with a red sauce) served with rice and somewhat runny beans for (if I recall correctly) under $7.00. This wasn’t a bad meal, especially for the money, and I liked the enchiladas enough that I would return and order them a la carte rather than in a dinner.
Recently ( my second time ) I had the Carne Asada dinner and my wife had the chicken fajita dinner. Each was $9.50, and I believe they are the most expensive items in the menu. My asada was a pile of very thinly sliced beef pieces, each the size of my palm. The meat was tough, dry, and had a large vein of gristle running through it. The meat was so thin that there is little chance that the meat will not be overcooked. It had grilled onion and peppers over it, as well as a few slices of fried potato. The pieces of chicken in my wife’s chicken fajitas were also dry, and also came with a lot of grilled onion and green peppers. Both dinners came with beans and rice. At least this time the beans were not runny. I wouldn’t recommend either dinner due to the meat, although perhaps beef fajitas might fare better.
All dinners at Lolitas are served with a Pico mix, guacamole, and lettuce, as well as three corn or flower tortillas.
Lolitas has a large menu, and most items can be ordered a la carte at a very reasonable price. I will likely return and just try a few things a la carte.
P.S Don’t forget your chips, salsa, and side guac on your way out!
I grew up in Southern California where I was in the foodservice business and there are many independent “Ma & Pa” Mexican restaurants. Many in Texas too.
Lolita’s ranks up there with the best.
Meals are homemade & fresh made to order for each patron.
Quality and taste are superior with savory spices – not too hot, not too bland.
If you’re not familiar with Mexican food and are reluctant to try. Don’t worry, you’ll be a convert at first bite.
Restaurant business is a demanding 24/7 choice, even so, wishing the hours hadn’t been reduced. Small price for perfection.
Support your local Mexican restaurant!
I was given a cup of homemade hot sauce, and for me it was the star of the show. Very tasty, I just wish it were a bit hotter. That is probably my fault, though. I didn’t think to ask.
