Lola's Kitchen

I cannot recommend this spot more. Even if only traveling through Barstow - it's only about a mile off the interstates and SO WORTH it. Clean, cute, amazing food and service. And the service was super fast too. Spend your money locally with good folks instead of corporate industrialized food - so much better for you and everyone else! Prices were excellent. We'll come back every time we drive through. Pass it on!!

The food was excellent, we got taquitos and the sopa. The ladies were very sweet and nice, quick to serve, and quick to keep the place clean & tidy! We were there for a quick trip, but saw their reviews and had to give it a shot. My partner thought about them earlier this week thinking they were in our town! Will definitely visit again when I head to Barstow again in January!

Small little restaurant in Barstow, CA that serves Mexican dishes. Got a California Burrito and it was good. Stuffed with meat and servers gave us chips and salsa while we waited.

Closer to a 4.5 than a 4 but that’s not an option, but you gotta get nuts to get a full 5. They should really have a better scale. Anyways, menu prices are higher than advertised and there’s a service charge or something for a dollar I didn’t ask for what, but they give you free chips and salsa and are stellar people. And the food is solid

Great food and open at 4am. If you're heading to Stoddard Wells this is a perfect stop for breakfast. Good coffee too!

I've never had a bad experience at Lola's. Service and food are always fantastic

This is a hidden gem. We were passing through Barstow and wanted something that wasn't fast food. The food was amazing. The prices were fair. The staff was outstanding. WE WILL BE BACK!

Only a half mile off the 15 when traveling to and from Las Vegas and Los Angeles. The place is clean, the food is delicious and their prices are excellent. Albert has hired excellent employees like Elijah and the women who take your order as well as cook it. I’ve been stopping here for years and have never been disappointed in my food, some of the best red chili sauce I’ve ever had. Coffee is good and you’ll be recommending this place to your friends when traveling on the 15 past Barstow/

We had not been in Lola's in several years. We stopped in last week and found was fantastic as usual however we were disappointed because they only make their best dish, mole, on Thursday. We had been luck to stop by on a Thursday on our last visit and the mole was fantastic! Since we are only in the neighborhood when traveling we need to file that little note away. I had a chile relleno and it was excellent and the food was quickly. My wife had a huge Cgicken Tortas that was very tasty. The service was top notch. 5*s for quality and service.

Swung by here for "brunch" while driving from OC to Vegas; instead of going to some fast food joint. Staff was friendly. They got my husband's order wrong as the eggs came out over hard when he had asked for over easy. We got: 1) chile verde pork plate with rice and beans - i enjoyed this meal and it was just enough quantity and flavors were spot on 2) chilaquiles with steak & eggs - husband got this and he said it was delicious 3) chicken enchiladas - this was tasty, one of their top sellers!

I got the breakfast burrito with chorizo and ham! They do charge extra for extra meat but it was worth it had a tong of flavor. This is the hidden gem for Barstow with great food. The red salsa was also tremendous and has a lot of flavor to give to the burrito.

Great Mexican restaurant to eat on your way to & from Las Vegas. Clean, good food, great service! Near the 15.

While traveling home from Vegas we wanted a breakfast burrito. I looked on yelp and found great reviews for this restaurant. I called ahead and ordered and they had the burritos hot and ready for us. They tasted great and were reasonably priced. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very friendly. My only complaint was that after using their restroom, which was really clean, I went to wash my hands and the water did not work. My husband said the men's restroom was the same. Luckily I had hand sanitizer clothes in my purse still from Las Vegas.

This small but lovely place is excellent. Food choices are very creative, and fit perfect with all my food allergies. Decor is happy and uplifting. Excellent friendly service. A little more expensive than I am used to paying for breakfast but since the food is wonderful it works. Check them out. Closed Sundays

The burritos here are always my favorite!! They service is friendly and they are always very sweet. Looks like the updated the interior as well so it's looking really cute. I never pass through Barstow without getting me one of these.

Found this place from other yelp reviews. We were not disappointed with the chorizo breakfast burrito. Very clean, amazing Staff and the food was excellent.

Whether you're en route to Las Vegas or on your way home from it. Stop enjoy a plate of authentic Mexican Food. The customer service is great. It is a small hole in the wall but those are the best spots to enter. The area is nice and clean. Restrooms are available and there is plenty of parking.

A bit out of the way from highway. But quite authentic. Their California burrito and the Nacho plate were awesome. The nachos were really fresh and guac was awesome on it. A small place and can get crowded quickly. Fast service. But not very organized. Don't expect that they come to ask for water. Also, I wish two or three hot or mild sauces. They had only one sauce: it was hot and it was okay: not very flavorful.

Our food was delicious, well cooked, fresh, high quality. The main host / cashier was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The ambience was nice and modern, the kitchen was sparkling clean, as were the bathrooms.

Food was excellent. Restaurant was clean. You order at register, then they bring your food out. I had the nachos which was a full size dinner plate loaded with chips and toppings. I could only eat half. Easily share-able. My husband had taco dinner which he said was also good. It's small inside and seemed very popular.

This was my second time in to Lola's kitchen, and honestly the first time made such an impression on me that I had to scour Yelp and find the name of it, since I could not initially remember. This place in Barstow is such a gem, in a totally unassuming parking lot. The first visit we were on our way to Orange County and this second time we were in our way back to Vegas, and it was my first time bringing hubs along. We're both vegetarian, and honestly there's not much listed on the menu as being such but they don't cook their beans in lard here, they use water so that was the green light. I ordered myself three bean and cheese tostadas, he went with the vegetarian burrito, and we got a quesadilla and fries for our littles and some chips and salsa to all share. Since we had been in the car for just under 3 hours, it was time to stretch our legs so we opted to dine in. The seating area is not huge but they do have several tables to sit in, and a few booth seats. The interior is clean, and their bathrooms are as well. Now onto the star of the show, the food! Their beans are SO flavorful, the tostadas were made fresh and you can taste it. Their red salsa is AMAZING, garlicky and the way I prefer, not chunky but made smooth. Gosh, it is really so delicious and my husband agreed. He quickly ate 2/3's of his burrito and said he enjoyed it so much. We definitely have a new spot to stop at now when we're passing through Barstow.

Stop by Lola's kitchen from my drive back from Las Vegas to San Diego, CA. My husband was craving Mexican food and I came across Lola's on yelp. The photos looked amazing so I decided to give it a go. We were a little unsure about the place when we arrived, but decided to walk in. Turned out to be a very clean restaurant and the restrooms were good too. We were acknowledged and welcomed as soon as we walked in. I placed our order, food arrived and we devoured everything! The tomatillo salsa was so delicious and had a good spice to it that I even bought some of it to bring it back home. I will be returning to Vegas in 4 weeks and cannot wait to stop for a bite to eat again. I never thought I'd say that I cannot wait to be back in Barstow in 4 weeks to revisit Lola's kitchen. lol To the staff at Lola's , you're doing an amazing job with serving very authentic Mexican food. Gracias!!!!

Came here on a whim while taking a break from court and was pleasantly surprised! Great food, service, and ambiance. The portions were excellent. I got the chilaquiles with asada and two eggs. They were crunchy and came with rice and beans as well. It was more than enough and well worth the price. The owner was also very kind and came to check on me while I was eating my meal. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area. They accept Apple Pay & family friendly :)

Very good food and service. Their salsa and burritos are very good. I am not from the area otherwise i would come daily

Our yearly visit to Lola's Kitchen on the way home from Las Vegas. The food is always good and does not disappoint. You order at the register. Your order will be brought to the table. The service is friendly and quick. Their refried beans and rice are quite good. I don't normally eat the side of rice but I like their rice. It's a small resto that is clean snd bright, not to mention that the air conditioning is welcome on a hot day! Enjoy!

First time and I will be back! The food was beyond delicious! Hot and prepared with love! The service was excellent and we felt right at home. Side note- the cleanest restroom ever!!! Great experience!

On our way back from Havasu, we yelped this restaurant for lunch. If you're on 40 headed West you'd go North on Main Street, cross over 15, and turn left into a strip mall. Along the way are lots of boarded-up buildings; mostly restaurants. At first we wondered if Lola's was still in business. The anchor store had been an Albertsons, now derelict. Other non-vacant shops flanked it, wig salon, a doggie rescue. But it was open and we walked in to find small tables with plenty of occupants. We selected a longer table close to the door and along the wall adorned with a giant mirror. The problem with that location was, as people went in and out of the place, the cold wind whipped through to give us a chill. On the door handle hung a strap with sleigh bells. Of course those are kid magnets. Parents open the door and leave it standing open as they adoringly watch their kid diddle it while we freeze. Awe such a cute kid... and AH parents. We were seated no longer than 3 minutes when a nice lady brought us chips and a puréed salsa. Very good; not too spicy with enough cohesion to stick to the chip. The chips are hand cut and fried in house. The process is to order and pay at the counter. They bring the food when ready. I had the chicken enchiladas. Oh. yum. Nice deep green sauce on top and juicy filling. I also ordered iced tea. It was freshly brewed and strong enough. My H had a relleno and enchilada combination. He's a connoisseur of fine rellenos and loved it. Its sauce was rich and almost a mole. It looked great but I didn't taste it; I was concentrating on my own task. We got out of there for about $30 -- pretty good for today's economy. Go there for lunch, you'll be happy. Just don't sit near the door.

Great eats, patriots, clean, near the new Tesla Supercharger, what more could one want?

Love to stop here on our way to and from Las Vegas! Such amazing food and customer service. Clean bathrooms a well

Delicious breakfast burrito! So nice to find a place so early in the morning! Super clean and very nice staff!

What a find this was! We were immediately welcomed by a friendly, rockstar employee. He explained the ordering process to us since we were new customers. I ordered enchiladas verdes, which came with a side of beans and rice. The enchiladas had excellent flavor and just a hint of kick. My husband ordered carne asada tacos, and he said the meat was flavorful and tender. The chips were wonderful, and the beans and rice were perfection! The restaurant is clean, bright, and cheerful. It is part of a strip mall. It was decorated in a summery style with little toy pails hanging from the ceiling and American flag banners adding to the celebratory atmosphere. I don't know if we'll ever be in this area again, but if we are, we will definitely eat here!

Validated!!!!! Officially stamped!!! If you want some good food??? ...Some good quality Mexican food and not any of that fast food trash that surrounds the Barstow station, this spot meets the demand and desire!!!! No. 2 Enchiladas Verde (green sauce-spicy) and Carne Asada Quesadilla Both

We would have never known this was here if we didn't yelp it. It's kinda off the highway and in a strip mall kind of area. But I'm so glad we found it! The food was great, and the portions were large. The flavors were amazing with textures for days! The light and fluffy flautas were crunchy and full of delicious shredded chicken. The chilaquiles green sauce was great, with crunchy tortilla chips and the carne asada. We ordered the chilaquiles and flautas. The lady helping us was friendly, and greeted us immediately when we walked in. The food came out fast. What a nice place to stop on the way home!

Great food -- some of the best chili rellanos I've ever had! We got there just before they closed, but they were very gracious and did not rush us at all. The little "hole in the wall" type place was a little challenging to find, but it's well worth the effort. Both the dining area and kitchen were spotless and sparkling clean! Thank you, Lola!!!

Don't judge this place from the outside because the food and hospitality are wonderful. The place is clean, the gentleman that welcomed us was lovely and helpful and the food was fresh and authentic. Add this to your road trip list! Definitely worth a stop!

Came here on the way back from Wyoming and it was so good! Big quesadillas for the kids and good burritos. Will definitely stop here the next time we're in the area!

Great food from Lola's. Very clean and tidy, too. We ordered Gloria's Special with asada meat, as we are Keto only it was perfect. Plenty of meat, cheese, sour cream and guacamole all on a bed of chopped lettuce and a few fresh tomato pieces. Would be a pleasure to visit again on our next trip south.

Food was excellent. It was like eating out of my mom's or grandma's kitchen, Albert the owner took over the spot of Mom's was very personable the service was excellent place is clean with a nice Mexican touch. It's past the normal stops right off the 15hwy going to Vegas, but we highly recommend it and I'm very picky.

Had the chicken enchilada, which was great the food and service top quality. Great Mom and pop Mexican restaurant. It was busy when I got there and continued to be busy during my meal. Ambience wasn't anything spectacular but fine for a little restaurant, clean and all that. If you want some good authentic Mexican. This is a place to go here in Barstow.

It's worth driving a few minutes away from I-15 for this friendly, family-run place. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. We loved the legit refried beans. The chicken was tender and pleasantly mild, but try the shredded beef, which has a lot of oomph. Even the free salsa is an earthy step up from a typical Mexican dive. Super quick service and huge portions. My husband and I split one enchilada plate and had plenty. An extra thumbs up for the clean and bright bathrooms. They look recently renovated, with pretty tile and nice fixtures. The bathrooms are fancier than the dining room!

Great tacos to drive by and pull over. Nice staff at the dining. We had a to-go meal.

on the freeway going to las Vegas and wanted a mexican lunch. Lolas got our attention and were very pleased that we stopped here. Food, service and environment was exceptional. highly recommend Lolas .

My friends and I were passing through Barstow on our way to Las Vegas and we stumbled upon this place for Breakfast! Omg! When I tell you this was the best chilaquiles I've ever eaten - it was amazing! My friends all loved their food as well! The green sauce is so delicious. So on our way home, we had to stop to dry dinner as well! And I cleaned my plate. I left no crumbs lol! The employees were all so nice! The food was served quickly! 10/10, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!

We stumbled across this small authentic Mexican restaurant on our way home and it didn't disappoint. At first glance, you wouldn't think to stop there as it's in a small run down shopping center.... Oh, but I'm glad we did! The food was absolutely delicious and truly authentic. The service was also very fast with super friendly employees. I can see why all the locals kept walking in to enjoy a fresh meal. :)

Very clean, yummy fresh food, and friendly service. Had the Machaca and Beef Quesadillas. Both were great. The free chips and salsa were also wonderful. Order at the counter.

The best Mexican food in the High Desert. It is a small space with big taste. The tacos are excellent. The chile verde is amazing. Love their beans and rice, they are full of flavor. Definitely a must!!

INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS! It was my first time here, thankfully ChatGpt suggested this place during our road-trip to Sedona from LA! It's right off the freeway which was PERFECT! Ample parking since it's in a LARGE strip mall ! Great menu! My husband and I loved the flavor! It all tasted homemade , so tasty ! Wish I could go back for more ! The employees were so welcoming and sweet ! Was decorated SO cute for Christmas great ambiance and excellent music playing ! Will definitely be going back anytime we are near Barstow ! GREAT find! Recommend 100/10

We loved the house-made tortilla chips! The awesome Breakfast Burrito had chorizo, eggs, and cheese. The California Burrito was good too! The inside is simple and clean. Their staff is super friendly. I recommend when stopping through Barstow.

Fantastic experience! A group of 5 of us were driving back from the Grand Canyon and stopped here for lunch on a Monday. Immediately upon entering, the friendly host greeted us and handed menus over, explaining that we could order at the counter whenever we were ready. Everyone working here was so cheerful and efficient! It was easy to tell by the wide range and volume of people coming in to order that this place has earned its good reputation. The free chips and salsa were perfect to munch on while we waited the few minutes for our dishes, including the California burrito, a chicken burrito, beef flautas, Milanese torta, and machaca plate. Everything was delicious- well seasoned, prompt, and hot. High recommend if you're ever in Barstow, these people deserve the business. Wishing Lola's Kitchen prosperity and perpetual good vibes! Thanks for infusing our road trip with good energy.

The only bright spot in my traveling between the Las Vegas Valley where I live and Los Angeles is stopping at Lola's for breakfast or lunch in Barstow. I have been doing this for years and it's only a half mile from the 15 and so worth it. I've now told all my friends and it's become a regular stop to and from LA for us. Stopped here on Monday, two days ago and although I missed Albert, it was great to see Elijah and sit down for a delicious meal. The women who take your order and cook the food are so gracious and even made a fresh pot of really good coffee for me. I have them make a bean and cheese tostado with a fried egg on top and it was just what I wanted. Service is fast and the food can't be beat, I don't know what's in the red chili sauce they make for your tortilla chips but it's the best I've ever had, wonderful flavor and I use it no matter what I order. So do yourself a favor and pick up or dine in when on your way to LA or to Vegas, you won't be disappointed. Thanks Elijah for remembering me and hello to Albert who, Elijah says is the best boss ever

Best chicken enchiladas verdes ever. Easy to get on and off freeway and everyone that I have taken there has returned later on their next trip thru.

I am so happy to have found this amazing place! On my way back from Vegas I stopped in to have some lunch. Pretty small casual spot. Everything I ordered was absolutely delicious!!! The taquitos were perfect! Beans and rice were so tasty. Everything tasted so fresh, homemade, and made with love! Now for the service... The absolute sweetest staff I have ever met! The women working here are so kind and friendly I cannot express how grateful I am to have stumbled upon such a true gem! I cannot wait for my next visit!

Huevos a la mexicana were delicious. The food came out relatively fast. The waiter was very attentive.

Best pit stop in town! Delicious breakfast burrito, veggie burrito and California burrito. Do yourself a favor and stop here instead of a chain fast food spot. The sweetest service and super quick if you need to get back on the road! Be sure to get chips and salsa as well because the salsa has the perfect kick to it!

Most amazing burrito ever! And amazing service from , Elijah! In fact the burrito was a recommendation from Elijah and did not fail!

Food is great but they stopped doing Taco Tuesday and the website says they still are! It may just be an update oversight but it results in FALSE ADVERTISING!

Left feeling disappointed in my choice of coming to try this place. Stopped by because the Yelp reviews seemed to be promising. It seems as though the reviews are from the locals. I ordered flautas with no beans and rice. When brought to the the table, it was three taquitos ( that's what they call flautas apparently at this restaurant) ; $8 for three small fried tortillas.....They don't make fresh Jamaica (hibiscus) here. To me this restaurant was more of a fast food place because of the quality of food and service. You can choose where to sit , but you have to get up after to go and order your food.
