Lola's

Super chill beach bar and grill. We had salads and nachos. All great. Alex our waiter was awesome even though the place was hopping. Great hang for surfers. Highly recommended.

Absolutely beautiful restaurant location, beach front in Playa Avellano. The portions are huge and the drinks are cold, so come hungry and thirsty, you won't be disappointed! And what a view!! While the original Lola is long gone, there's other local fur babies that come by to say hello if you hang around long enough. Staff was great and we enjoyed swimming afterwards and taking in yhe beauty of Costa Rica.

Great food. We went for a beach day with friends. Parking is odd but doable. We had burgers (seasoned well) and chicken nuggets (the freshest nuggets you'll ever have); I know American food but we wanted a break, lol. Service a little slow but doable. Would definitely come back.

Lola's is a hidden gem of a beach bar and restaurant that I had the pleasure of visiting recently. The atmosphere is laid-back and full of surfer vibes, making it the perfect spot to grab a drink and unwind after a day in the sun. I tried their calamari, and it was some of the best I've ever had. The calamari was tender and perfectly seasoned, with just the right amount of crunch. I also ordered the ceviche, and it was absolutely delicious. The fish was fresh, and the citrus marinade was refreshing and flavorful. In addition to the amazing food, the service at Lola's was top-notch. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure that my dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish. Overall, Lola's is a must-visit spot for anyone looking for a cool beach bar with great food.

Recommended. The food was good and priced for tourists. After eating at several locations before visiting. i can't say the food was outstanding but it was good. The views and location outstanding. Cocktails great. Service slow which would be fine if the food compensated but it did not. I think more authentic foods like plantain and pork tacos etc...are needed. Just not enough local food options for me. Worth the visit.

Amazing food and service. Beautiful location as well, be ready for an adventurous and fun drive to get there. Highly recommend the fish and chips.

We went to Lola‘s with great anticipation, after having it highly recommended by other travelers. While the setting is absolutely stunning, and I would highly recommend going there for this alone, the service was just OK, and the food was just OK, and the ability to accommodate gluten-free was surprisingly limited. Most restaurants in Costa Rica we visited were very happy to accommodate gluten-free needs, already had their menus labeled for gluten-free dishes, readily understood how to navigate gluten issues, and were overall very eager to accommodate us. Lola’s however, seemed more concerned with telling us how gluten-free would make food “bad” even though we order similar dishes with the same modifications all the time, and how it was difficult for them to accommodate gluten-free needs. I understand that it can be difficult, but if you do a little training of your kitchen staff and your wait staff and read food labels for your ingredients, it’s really not that hard. Perhaps they have had particularly difficult customers that have made them not want to accommodate gluten-free needs, or perhaps their management or ownership just doesn’t care about this. So, unfortunately, if you’re gluten-free, go to the restaurant across the street, they are very eager and excited to accommodate gluten-free needs and have no problem navigating The challenges associated with this. Their view of the beach is not good there, but their staff are very friendly, and their food is excellent. Go to Lola‘s for the views, the beach chairs, the drinks (which were awesome!) and if you are not gluten-free, it’s a fine place to eat.

Great cocktails and view. The canopy is amazing to sit under and enjoy a cold drink on a warm day.
