Diving Into Costa Rica's Surf Scene With This Season's Beach-Ready Looks

"A beach club-cum-restaurant at Playa Avellanas, known for its laidback vibes, large wooden tables under palm and almond trees, and a menu featuring spicy tuna salad, shrimp tacos, and fresh ceviche." - Charlotte Davey

"Lola’s Among Playa Avellana’s numerous pleasures, the small-town, almost-no-cars vibe sets the scene for true relaxation—as well as fun. Look for Lola’s—perhaps the hippest spot in town—in the tiny business district and try out fresh, locally sourced pizzas, mahi-mahi tacos, and veggie burgers; smoothie lovers will go nuts. Locals and visitors pack in under the almond trees late mornings after surf excursions and other adventures. Be on the lookout for Lolita, the piglet daughter of the original Lola (sadly no longer with us) as she frolics in the sand or ranges across the property."

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.

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.

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.

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.
