Lola's

Just when you thought lunch couldn't get any better... We scored a table with a view of the ocean at Lola's and it was totally Instagram-worthy! The staff was super chill and friendly, and the bathrooms were spotless (because, priorities). But let's get to the good stuff - the food was OFF THE CHARTS! The calamari was a game-changer and we're already planning our next visit to get it again. If you're looking for a solid spot to grab a bite and take in some ocean views, look no further than Lola's! 10/10 would recommend.

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.

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.

What a magnificent place with a view that has no price! The food is good and the portions are lots.

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.

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.

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.
