California Burrito Ranking (19)
Embarking on a quest to rank San Diego’s California Burritos!
I’m now at stop number 19 on my Cali Burrito tour around San Diego, and today it’s Lolita’s Mexican Food.
Product: They served up a big, hot burrito. First bite—bam! That sauce inside totally hit the spot. I’m guessing it’s sour cream-based. The meat was super flavorful with solid seasoning, and the fries had that perfect crunch. Hands down one of the best Cali burritos I’ve had in town. 10 out of 10
Service: The girls behind the counter were trying to be friendly, but they seemed kinda flustered or distracted. It threw off the vibe a bit. 6 out of 10
Atmosphere: The café’s big open space makes it feel chill. There’s no strong Mexican theme in the decor. Some spots weren’t the cleanest, but the staff cleaned up quickly. The outdoor seating area looks pretty cool though. 8 out of 10

Lolita’s used to be a regular part of my rotation and I’ve seen a few posts on social media complaining about the amount of fries they use in their California Burrito to reduce costs on other ingredients. Turns out those complaints are a part of a larger pattern and this is how they’re making their food now.
This is what my Cali burrito looked like for lunch today and it’s just embarrassing. It’s one thing to keep prices low and do stuff like this, but when you’re increase prices faster than the competition and on top of that you’re pulling this BS, it’s a slap in the face to your customers.
There are way too many other Mexican food options in SD. After 15 years of being a Lolita’s supporter, sad to say I won’t be coming back here anymore.

Haven’t been to a Lolita’s in over a decade! They were always my go to taco shop (in Bonita) & their slogan always stuck “patience is the essence of fine Mexican food” they stand by that & let me tell you, over 10 years later they still got it! Tried this Clairemont location and it was equally as good as the one in Bonita. Took forever but worth the wait !

Lolita’s current rating is far outdated. Their once beloved California burrito has become a cash grab for the business as it’s now 95% french fries with only the scent of carne asada and cheese. Please see photo of this borderline criminal burrito!

Lolita’s Mexican Food: A Flavor Fiesta! If you’re craving Mexican flavors,Lolita’s is the spot! This place nails the trifecta: vibrant, fresh, and seriously satisfying.The Highlights: I absolutely love their green onions—grabbing a big whole stalk yourself and munching on it is seriously satisfying

Service was great. They were constantly cleaning tables as people left. I got a crispy chicken taco that was good, topped with the green salsa. I also ordered the fish taco and that was ok. I wish it was crispy fish, it was just a white fish with breadcrumb. We tried the rice and beans and it was ok. The service and crispy chicken taco is definitely worth coming back for.

Always come here for to go or dine in. I’ve going to Lolita’s for a long time but I never knew there was one here! Now that I do, I stop by when I can. The food is always good and their service is fast. They have have two tvs usually having different things on it. Plus there’s a charging ports whether you have just the cable or the the box with the cable it’s there! They have a patio outside so if you want to eat outside you can and it’s very pretty too! Definitely a must go when you have a chance!

For $15, I basically got just sour cream and guacamole wrapped in an extremely large tortilla and barely any meat inside of my burrito. Super sad experience. He even asked for a napkin was an issue.
