"A new cocktail bar with Mexican food called Lolita has opened in Midtown West; the name references the owner’s daughter rather than the Nabokov novel." - Emma Orlow

Lolita is a stunning and vibrant restaurant that masterfully blends modern elegance with a warm, lively atmosphere. The lush décor, leafy green accents, and soft lighting create a tropical yet sophisticated vibe. The menu features flavorful dishes like ceviche tostadas and expertly crafted tacos, each plated beautifully and bursting with freshness. The cocktail list is equally impressive—creative, balanced, and artfully presented. Service is top-notch, with General Manager Amanda ensuring every detail is perfect. Lolita delivers an unforgettable dining and cocktail experience that truly stands out.

My boyfriend and I went to Lolita today and it was amazing! We were greeted right off the bat by a kind server! We ordered from their happy hour menu that included three different cocktails (including a margarita) which were great! The Daiquiri was super strong and very good! Margarita was perfect and very refreshing! We ordered all three different tacos besides the cod (I personally don’t love cod) but I think the Birria tacos were our favorite! The Al pastor and beef was also great, as a tie for second! I also recommend having the guacamole!! We did end up having two to three different servers and had a hard time knowing who to ask when ordering more. But overall, we liked both servers and Richard was great!! Make sure you ask for him if he is working! He was very attentive and polite!! We will definitely be back for another happy hour!!

The restaurant had really great decor, super friendly staff, and delicious food. Guacamole is great, and so is the salsa (I wish there was more to accompany the nachos). Fish tacos are good - the cod is fried in corn flour. I really appreciate the fact that the restaurant was able to accommodate my daughter's request for just poached eggs! Here is what she thinks: The atmosphere was amazing, I really enjoyed the vibe, and the food was delicious! The egg was extordanry, yolk dripping out of the egg when you cut it, and everything was great!

Walked pass this spot and loved the décor, so my friend and I decided to stop in for some drinks. I had the Lolita Margarita! at first I thought it wasn’t that strong, but it definitely kicked in and I really liked it. My friends tried a couple of frozen drinks and both were great too. The vibe is stylish and fun. Definitely coming back to try the food next time!

Everything was great, the air was nice and cool, and the atmosphere was AMAZING. I loved the vibe, the light was dim, but still seeable. The tiles were beautiful, and there was a large wine collection on the wall. Everything was really aesthetic, and relaxing. The food was delicious, and don't even get me started on the poached egg- It was so good, the yolk was flowing out of the egg when you cut it perfectly, the food was a true masterpiece, not even the nachos had an imperfection. I just wish there was more salsa, because it was so good. The people were also really nice, and the service was amazing. I loved it here, I definitely recommend this place. 10/10.

We stumbled upon Lolita completely by accident while bar hopping in Manhattan, and what a great surprise it was! The atmosphere is wonderful, the interior is beautiful, and the drinks were really good. The service was excellent as well. I highly recommend this spot and will definitely be coming back!

Cute spot with a charming upstairs ambiance. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive, though it seemed like she was still learning the menu and had to check on a few things. The guacamole and oysters were really good—fresh and flavorful. The tacos, however, were a bit of a letdown and lacked seasoning. Overall, a decent experience with potential if they fine-tune a few things.

I would highly recommend Lolita for a night out, It’s such a beautiful space! The upstairs section has regular dining seats and its own bar. We ordered the Carne Asada and Birriar Tacos for our entrees, the cut was juicy and well seasoned, my partner enjoyed her tacos. The server recommended I get the sweet plantains as a side and I’m happy I did (ate it as dessert)! I tried the birriar old fashioned, which I found to be a unique take on the classic, would highly recommend. Management stopped to check in on us, which was a nice touch. Overall it was a time well spent! Go to Lolita! I would highly recommend Lolita for a night out, It’s such a beautiful space! The upstairs section has regular dining seats and its own bar.

His vibe is everything!
