The tacos blew my mind. So delicious, juicy, flavorful and tender asada. I am surprised how delicious it was. The rice is also perfect, its made almost exactly like my moms, with the perfect texture, right amount of seasoning, not too red and not too orange..This is definitely gonna be my new spot when Im in town, I would highly recommend them.
Love love love Lolas!Lolas!! Such good food! Love the owners! Kind people! Dont be intimidated by the outside! The inside is always decorated amazingly and extremely clean!!! Def give Lolas a try...you wont be disappointed! The food is so delicious..their Carne asada is sooo good. Love their Puerto Rico Tacos and Their Carne Asada Salad!
For the price paid, it is rather small portion, my adult son have to order 2 meals, and for my daughter a vegetarian, basically us just bun with some lettuce inside. Not recommend
Carne asada fries were really dry to the point that I had to add ingredients from home to moisten it. The tacos were the opposite they were really soggy with grease i had to replace it with tortillas from home. I defiantly wouldnt go back.
Stopping in Barstow for fuel and a bite to eat. Googling places to eat, my wife and I came across this little hole in the wall restaurant. Four hundred and sixty something reviews and still holding on to a 4.6 star rating was promising.Im writing this review before even getting my food. So far the staff is friendly. I will update once I eat.Update: Food was good, facility was clean and like I wrote before, the staff was friendly. The to-go menu claims that its the best mexican food from the coast to Vegas; I wouldnt necessarily make that claim but I would say that it might be the freshest. This food actually taste like its good for you.This place is worth visiting if youre passing through.
Omg, talk about the best Mexican food ever and just like mom used to cook. Service was friendly and fast. Most items on the menu run from $8-$11, but good portions and delicious. When we pass by barstow again we are for sure stopping here again. They do a large carry out business also. There must be a reason this place has been around 20+ years.
By automobile, Barstow is exactly half-way between San Diego and Las Vegas, a logical recharging point on that trips 5 hour drive up Interstate 15, as it is the last pocket of civilization before a 115 mile journey through barren lands with no songs before you hit the Nevada border. Now that Ive discovered Lolas, I have an excuse to get more than just gas in Barstow. To keep it real, this is not life-changing Mexican cuisine and, in fact, in San Diego itd be just a smidgen above average -- but Lolas should be considered a culinary oasis in Californias so-called high desert of the sparse and arid Mojave Desert region.Your meal will start with thick complimentary corn tortilla chips and a spicy salsa roja puréed until smooth. The important question is how many chip basket refills do you want to stuff yourself with before you start eating your actual food. Speaking for myself, I seemingly have a bottomless stomach for these.The Chile Colorado at Lolas is carne deshebrada made with shredded beef brisket stewed in a mild but pleasant chile-infused tomato sauce. The beef is tough in some bites, silky in others, and a bit of both mostly. The corn tortillas that are provided on the side are not homemade or handmade. Yet this is a situation where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, as the dish works for me as a kind of home-cooked style dish youd get from a grandma.An item on the menu exists called Joses Puerto Rican Taco. It is a taco that consists of carne asada beef, avocado, pico de gallo, and queso fresco on a corn tortilla. I dont know who Jose is, nor do I know what makes this relatively standard-issue carne asada taco Puerto Rican, but I do know a tasty taco when I have one, and this qualifies. The well-seasoned tender beef, chunks of avocado, and fiery chopped jalapeño chilies (from the pico mix) combine harmoniously to take you where you need to go.
Great tasting authentic Mexican food about a half mile off the 15. Half way to Vegas from LAa nice break. A little pricey for self serve. However every one was attentive and helpful. Green sauce excellent.
The food is some of the freshest Ive ever had, they also bring it to you moments after it was done cooking! Easily one of the top 5 burritos Ive ever had. Staff is friendly and quite quick to respond to requests for napkins or more chips. Im so disappointed they dont have one of these near where I live, Id come here regularly if I could!
Wonderful place to eat with great food and service. Interesting note: Mexican steak wasnt a steak at all; it was shredded beef.
I am working in Barstow from our of town and decided to grab a quick burrito after work. I ordered a carne asada burrito and it was one of the biggest burritos I have ever had. Everything was fresh tasting, hot and a perfect balance. I cant remember when I have been this excited about a burrito. This place is legit.
A must have experience when traveling between LV/LA - local high quality food in a small space - delicious house salsa and affordable. Don’t skip the pork taco.
AWESOME!Oh yeah its hot and spicy, but just incredible authentic flavor. There are many places that just want to burn your taste buds, this place wants to tickle them, and lather those puppies with capsaicin.Multiple levels, pretty much all with flavor if you know your peppers.
Definitely a 5 star!! I couldn’t be any happier with the costumer service and the very delicious food. It’s a shame this place isn’t local to me or else I would be going more often.
I crave their shredded beef dishes. Very, very good. Lola makes the LA to LV drive a lot easier.
Food is great a little bit pricey but well worth it.
Located in a worn down looking plaza in an almost non visable corner. Outside the restaurant was bleak but once inside it lit up with color and traditional Mexican decor and seating. The place is extremely small and I do not recommend bringing in personal belongings as the tables are so close together. You order at counter even for dine in while you wait they bring you out chips and salsa which were ok. Menu selection is reasonable and prices seem standard. We had the Gloria special Atkins friendly Carne Asada was delicous. Chicken (green sauce was spicy) but it seemed to lack a bit of flavor.
Servers are terrific! Food is good, a little spicy for us. They do alot of takeout
A great stop for breakfast lunch or dinner. Opens at 4am!
I enjoyed my dining experience and will definitely be back. Its in a bad location but inside is nice and cozy.The card machine is painful to use and the chicken on my nachos seemed to be lower quality than expected, but they made up for it with quantity.
Great Mexican restaurant.Just stop, get off the 15 freeway on Barstow either coming or going to Vegas and enjoy the most delicious food ever.
Great Mexican food and very friendly service. Jose‘s Special is the perfect start to the day!
I have been dining at Lolas since she opened and have eaten there often. Serve fresh, breakfast, lunch and dinner. They even do large orders out. Great place, friendly environment. Prices reasonable
Good food! Nice people. Cute atmosphere. Stopped here on a road trip, was worth the little detour.
I really enjoyed the heuvos rancherosFast service from a friendly staffGreat halfway stop between the SF bay area and Phoenix
Amazing food! Definitely worth a stop, staff are so friendly!
The best tacos I ever ate.if wasnt too far away I would eat there alone. Haha
I had a breakfast burrito with Chorizo and eggs potatoes and sausage. Totally delicious. The restaurant was very clean and I looked back in the kitchen was immaculate. I noticed all the cooks were ladies all smiling and happy to be there. I highly recommend this little place you will not be disappointed.
Cute, small, beautifully decorated, and extremely clean. The food is great (especially the salsa), and the staff are friendly and polite. Definitely worth a stop.
These guys are great! Their business hours alone are fantastic. The breakfast burritos are huge and delish, and the nachos are an amazing lunch choice. Their chips are some of the best, and their salsa/hot sauce is perfection. I dig the cucumber water as well.
Not fancy, just good Mexican food about a half mile off the freeway.
Great food in a no-nonsense storefront setting!
Delicious food in a very pleasant atmosphere. They even took care to present the food nicely, which is rare at places as affordable as this.I had the enchiladas verdes, and my partner had the chicken tacos. We both enjoyed them thoroughly.We would definitely stop by again when passing through the area.
Super good Mexican. Prices are reasonable and the flavor is bursting. I highly recommend this place.
Friendly n fast service. Well organized. Great Mexican Food.
The burrito is very big and awesome. Its really tasty and it has french fries in the inside.They serve you free nachos at the beggining, which is great.
Major bonus points for opening up at 4am so people can stop in before work. The employees are very fast and friendly. The restaurant is very clean the interior design is very elegant yet subtle and of course the food taste awesome loved it 👌🌯🤤
A humble restaurant with interesting ambience. For the price I was expecting a bit more, but I enjoyed all of my food. The bathroom was very clean!
Traveling from Sequoia National Forrest to Vegas we found this place not too far off of Route 15, and it was so worth it! --Fresh, homemade, super tasty food, great atmosphere, and friendly staff. Definitely a must if youre looking for some delish wholesome food in your travels!
Delicious food.I got the carne asada fries.. best in Barstow if you ask me.Although a Lil pricy but well worth it.Meat had no fat. And fries were not greasy; which makes it perfect for every bite. Highly recommend this place.
I loved this place while living in the area about ten years ago. I always make sure to stop by whenever Im in the area since Ive moved away and am looking to move back. The people are nice and the food is absolutely awesome. Would highly recommend whenever in the area.
The best mexican food place in barstow. Their green enchiladas are absolutely the best 👌
Clean, friendly staff, delicious food— stopped through on a road trip and it hit the spot. Thank you Lola’s!
Food was decent.(white washed Mexican food)Ridiculously over priced for the quantity & quality of the food. $32 for an asada burrito & 3 enchiladas w/ rice & beans. Only one salsa option available.
I have been working in Barstow for about 15 years and I have always gone there for my breakfast burritos chorIzo and eggs the best in the high desert I know my burrito and I drive from Victorville to Barstow just to buy these awesome breakfast burritos and the chili reminds me of my abuelas chili delicious food there. So next time your driving to LAS VEGAS stop in and try this breakfast burrito its the bomb 😋.
BEST Mexican food stop in town !!Came here 3 days in a row at different times each dayAll 3 days,, carne asada nachos were delicious in flavor with fresh ingredients, and presentation made my eyes joyful.Customer service is fast and efficient. The owner and staff are kind.Very clean and stylish environment.Love the tint on store fronts windows. It allows for sense of privacy while chewing your food lol
Food was super delicious. I had the jose special and it was good, my husband had the machaca and also said it was delicious. The chips and salsa also taste great. The red salsa is bomb it has a great kick. I really recommend this place.
Finally! 3 months of searching but Ive finally found a Mexican food place as good as those in Texas. Absolutely delicious.
Dont let the outside fool you, this little restaurant is wonderful! Great atmosphere, good service, and amazing food! :)
We loved every bite. Have eaten here twice on the way to somewhere else.
I went there today for lunch with a friend and we both loved it!!!! I got the Puerto Rican taco with a side of rice and beans and she got the shredded beef tacos and everything was amazing!!! We will definitely be coming back very soon!!!
Delicious! Super clean, friendly, good menu. This small restaurant dishes out great food! Worth seeking out.
Perfect taco shop. Kitchen full of ladies working hard. I could go on but Im gonna get back to eating. I just had to review this place. Bean toastada and cali burrito were the perfect order for me this time. Saving this on my Google maps for the next time I head back this way from San diego
Got takeout here. It was 116 degrees and we were on our way home in an RV from Vegas. BUT, no one was wearing masks (in fairness, the 2 abuelas cooking everything were). So we got takeout. Carnitas were delicious, although my wife thought she ordered burritos, and when we got to the van, everything was separate and there was a package of tortillas...
We loved it. Great food but very hot n spicy. Next time well need to go milder for our old and pale taste buds. Highly recommend!
The reviews of the green sauce got me all excited so I got enchiladas with green sauce. They were weird. I think if I got in the shredded beef I would have been happier. I did a mix of cheese and should it beef and the cheese enchiladas were like thick tortillas rolled up around nothing and soaked in sauce. There were some kind of cooked onions that were a little crunchy, which I started out not liking and I ended up liking them. Did I say it was weird? The rice was a little undercooked and flavor made me want to avoid it. The beans were a great consistency I had to fight had some really good enchiladas I would have been very happy with the beans as a side. Yeah, weird.
Love this place!! Best Mexican food. Very authentic 👌😍😋
32$ for a small carnitas plate, chile relleno and modelo. Quality is good but WAAAYYYYY over priced.
Giant parking lot for easy access to rv trailers. Very clean place with excellent service. Good selection of food and reasonable prices. Food itself is good...but not great. A little on the bland side but I would certainly go back again wirhout a doubt.
Small ,neat ,smart decoration ,very clean and great food
Whoooa! This is for sure a hidden gem! No non fast food places were open in Baker (Even Mad Greek was closed....TF..) So if were going to upend our hunger a bit longer and hold out for Barstow wes gon have us some MEXICAN!Wifey found Lolas on Yelp, had great reviews and star factor. First off....area is MAD GHETTO, vagrants walking around, people sleeping in their cars, random crazies milling about and randos playing musical cars in the parking lot. But IDGAF wes hungry and dont mind people watching from the comfort of inside the spot.Two super nice and chill old ladies are the servers, we were greeted and handed menus, I ordered the bean burrito with chicken yum yum. Food tasted fresh and very authentic, their house hot sauce they serve with the chips is bomb. Owner checked on us if we were good, great service.If I were to have a negative, it would only be that they charge for a cup of water and $1 fee for credit card, definitely not worth giving less stars though and worth it given the great food they serve. If your putting along I15 and passing Barstow its def worth a stop as we will for sure be visiting this random gem on the other side of Main Street!
Yeah these are not authentic Mexican burritos. Theyre the whitewashed version that have sour cream, beans and rice in them. We stopped by yesterday and requested Carne Asada burritos with no onions. To our surprise, we opened it up and wouldnt you know it jam packed with onions. Hasta parece que le dije echale un chingo de cebolla. No receipt either to verify that we requested no onions but the lady at the front sure did yell out our order and said no onions to the cooks. Im sure they wouldve fixed it but why bother.
We always enjoy our food at Lolas. My favorite here is the Shredded beef burrito with green sauce 😋Lolas rice is perfect! Definitely worth trying!
Great food. Nice off the grid place for a traveler. Good value and so quaint.
Delicious mexican food! Clean bathrooms and friendly people.
Beans here are the best tasting in town everything is delicous.
First off, the prices are outrageous. I understand people have to survive but the prices here are doubled if not triple any similar food spot. With that being said the food is not bad and yet not amazing maybe a 6 or 7 out of 10 (also charged extra for green sauce but not red) I was told after I ordered, but the customer service was less than satisfying . So to sum it up the customer service was a down thumbs, food was pretty good but not for the price they put on it.
Lolas is a great restaurant. I love the food here. We come here around once time a month and enjoy it each time. I love the soft tacos and their chili beans with meat sauce. Staff serves us nicely and we keep coming back.
I loved Lola’s kitchen!!! It is such a great place to grab breakfast. I live an hour out of the way but I don’t mind the occasional trip out there for a meal. Great customer service and great food, there’s not much else to ask for! I will definitely go again. I tried the green chile enchiladas with potatoes, no cheese no sour cream and it came out perfectly!!!
This small place was pretty neat. It came with free chips and salsa and the meal i had tasted completely different then what i expected. Though charging for water in this day and age...
Everybody there is so friendly, I love stopping here. The food is delicious!!
I have very much enjoyed eating here each time I do. Jennys across the street gets more attention, but I suspect Lolas has the better food.Today I visited by accident. Lolas is in a SoCal strip mall, I was taking my tiny dog to get her claws clipped at the Furry Friends groomers next door, kinda spacing out, got to the counter with employees all raving about how cute my dog is before realizing they dont do that at the groomers, & good heavens, I just wandered into a restaurant with my dog!
Really good. Staff is friendly. Food is excellent. Have the elote if its available.
The service here was friendly and pretty fast. Food here tasted very fresh and not greasy at all. The portion size is pretty generous too. I ordered the carne asada burrito with cheese and it really hit the spot. This place is definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the mood for Mexican food.
Good quality of food and good portions
Food doesnt get much better than this! I absolutely loved the beef enchiladas and my husband enjoyed his burrito. The staff is friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Also, the food came out in no time and is inexpensive. Were going to have to make this our regular stop whenever going to/from Vegas!!
Soul food restaurant in the middle of nowhere :) They serve extraordinary salsa that explodes flavor in your mouth! Eat here!
This place is a humble and nice place to dine.The meal was delicious. We all enjoy our meal.
Great food, pleasant and attractive place.
Love the food, the best refried beans in town. The food reminds me of great home cooked food with lots of love added.
Coming back from Vegas , don’t miss Lolas kitchen their food is great like home clean and great customer service, highly recommended 🌶
Somewhat pricy but the food is good.
Ive come here multiple times and have never had any problems with food or service. Definitely one of my favorite Mexican restaurants.
Food is always amazing 10/10 recommended. Simply bussin
This is a small restaurant in Barstow. I was passing through town and saw this place. I was looking for something quick and delicious. Lolas Kitchen provides great quick service and makes delicious food. I got Torta de Asada and it was scrumptious!!
The BEST food, service, staff and prices out of all the known restaurants! They have a cozy and clean atmosphere, everyone working there are friendly and helpful. Even on the busiest of days they still have the greatest service. Youll never be disappointed when choosing this exceptional & exquisite eatery!
Lolas is a charming little place, with delicious food at good prices. Additionally, you can tell that the place was decorated by someone who appreciates beauty. I had the breakfast burrito, which was tasty, yet spicier than I expected. Nonetheless, it was well within the realm of pleasantly spicy. I recommend that you stop here if you like dining in a place with character that serves authentic and scrumptious dishes!
The machaca was amazing😍Friendly staff and quick
My husband and I were driving from Texas and stopped to get a quick bite on our way up California. What a delicious breakfast! He had the eggs with chorizo & I had the chilaquiles with carne asada. Very filling and so good! Service was very friendly and we got our food so fast. Best Mexican food I’ve ever had at a restaurant thus far. It’s a quaint little restaurant located in the middle of town. I highly recommend!!
Cute little place. Had the best (big!) chicken burrito, smothered in green sauce! And Lola is delightful...
Amazing homemade Mexican! It is small but incredibly beautiful with very talented chefs and extremely friendly, attentive and hardworking waiters. Portion size is large and worth the price without a doubt. Definitely worth stopping for on our road trip.
Very good food, clean, friendly, and all the cooks in the kitchen are women. We loved it.
We like a lot going out. Yesterday we visited this superb restaurant which friends told us about. We passed a beautiful time there with great dishes and a professional stuff and a professional cook. We added this fine restaurant in our list and we shall definitely go again soon. We warmly recommend.
I love this place. I’ve been eating here for the last 15 years. Each time I travel, I make it a goal to stop and eat at this place. Please start serving on Sundays. I was so bombed that I drove thru town and you weren’t open. I rate this place 5 stars. This family owned company always makes me feel welcomed and serves excellent authentic Mexican food.
Excellent food and service. We had the Huevos Mexicana, Avocado toast and ground beef taco - all excellent, great flavor. Carry out only during Covid.
Its nice getting off work late and being able to come by here early in the morning. Super convenient about that and some great food to be had.
Love their chicken tacos on soft corn tortillas. Beautiful white cheese, and the lettuce is divine. Green sauce - Oh yes! They are open 4:am -7:30pm M-F and Saturday they close early at 4:30 pm.
Seemed more like Tex Mex than authentic Mexican. Customer service was great, however. I can see how and why they would cater to their customers who wouldnt really tell the difference between authentic and Americanized dishes. I think its the best you can get in the area.
Amazing, delicious, fresh, authentic mexi food! Friendly staff. Highly recommend, not far from interstate. Tacos were delicious & worked well for gluten-free. Cleanest restaurant & bathrooms ever! Located in tiny strip mall next to Vons.
Delicious Mexican food in a comfortable atmosphere. We were passing through on our way to Vegas, and wanted some local cuisine. The owners made us feel at home, and asked where we were coming from. Were all pretty sensitive to spice, so we asked for the food to be made mild, which it absolutely was. I had the carne asada burrito, which was excellent. The steak was tender, well cooked and very tasty. Its a small place, but it was clean, well kept, and run by people who know what theyre doing. There were a few others in the restaurant, mostly locals and others passing through. I would definitely recommend the place to anyone coming through the area.
Excellent food. Small place in a strip mall, so its easy to miss. It is very busy, so seating may be limited, but we still got a table quickly. Prices are good and service was very good. Bring cash just in case, as when we went they were not processing credit/debit cards. Well worth the stop, though.
Great local Mexican cuisine. ¡Muy auténtico! Humble but clean. Order and pay at the counter.
The food was delicious! The place is literally a whole in a wall. Once you entered you are in a small corner of Mexico. Great atmosphere. Best restrooms in Barstow for sure. The art displays are just wow! The food was deliciously exquisite!
Fast service, wonderful friendly service, food was great!
Wonderful homey little place to enjoy good mexican food and delightful, friendly service while sitting among cheerful locals. If youre new, go right up to the counter, grab a menu, find an open table, and sit down to read and decide. Then go back to the counter to place your order. Theyll bring you delicious food and youll be happy you came.
Excellent food. Great service. Very clean. Stopped by here on my way to big bear. Coming from Las Vegas. Highly recommend.
Outstanding little place. Only seats about 20, but is cute & cozy. Food is excellent and served quickly. A must-visit if youre passing through Barstow. Dont let the strip mall environs fool you. Its great!
Really amazing! We spent the night in Barstow and were blown a way by this place! We tried A LOT and everything was stellar. Tortillas are fresh and all the tacos are solid, we liked the pulled beef the most. We had the enchiladas with verde sauce and that was amazing! But our favorite was the Chile reano. We love them and this one was great, really amazing sauce and very light egg. Also the chips and salsa are awesome the salsa is SPICY which i love but be careful.
This really is a great little restaurant! The chips are thicker type chips and soooo good! Beans are really tasty as well which means anything with beans in it is particularly delicious. All the types of meat we got were well flavored and moist. So glad we gave it a try!!
This is my new favorite stop on my way to Vegas. They open at 4am and is only a half mile off the highway. I had the Joses Machaca.. oh my gosh, the best breakfast flavors! I highly recommend this hidden gem.Be warned, they close at 4:30pm and not open on Sundays.
Stopped in Barstow en route to Los Angeles from the Grand Canyon. Excellent mexican food, large portions and very reasonable pricing. Go easy on the chips and salsa lest youll fill yourself up before your meal arrives. Very kind and attentive staff!
STAFF IS NOT SO FRIENDLY BUT I GIVE FIVE STARS FOR THE JOSE SPECIAL BREAKFAST WITH TWO OVER EAZY EGGS. ALWAYS A GREAT DELIGHT EVERY TIME. BUT THEY CAN WORK ON THIER CUSTOMER SERVICE COMMUNICATION FRIENDLINESS. AND NOT LOOK SO ANGRY ALL THE TIME.
Great food, best to pay cash and bring your own water bottle in. We love stopping here, and theyre pretty quick. Doesnt take that much more time than in n out. They do have a dollar service charge for credit cards, and I think they charge for cups for water.I got the Gloria special, basically a burrito salad, husband got the huevos rancheros, and the kids split the nachos with carnitas. Everyone was very satisfied. They also give you chips and salsa with the meal if customers eat in. Great way to break up the drive from LA to Vegas.
Read the reviews and they seemed good. One even said good for vegetarians. HA!. We went in the AM and just about froze. There is nothing vegetarian there and the beans obviously had lard in them since our stomachs feel like there was a rock in them. Not impressed.
Great, fast, fun food stop. Counter service. Fun decorated dining and nice bathrooms. We would make a point to stop on our next trip. Salsa is a touch on the hotter side for those that prefer it, but the entrees were delectable Thank you Lolas.
I went on a 12 days road trip from Santa Fe, New Mexico to Arcata, California. i visited many cities and stopped at countless restaurants. i must say that i was very fortunate to have come in to Lolas Kitchen. This is the only place that stood out, great food and super customer service. a five start review does not do justice to this awesome place.
This is a great spot to have some delicious Mexican food! The enchiladas were fantastic, the staff was very friendly, and the Halloween decorations were awesome. So glad I found this place instead of just going to Subway. Love Google maps!
Best place in Barstow for authentic Mexican food! When all you have are older ladies in the kitchen (Grandmas) you know the food is going to be great. They are kind and loving to customers and will definitely be back again soon! I had the carne asada tacos and Chilaquiles with carne asada, rice, beans and two eggs over easy. Love it!
Genuine Mexican food. Pleasant folk going out of their way to please. Open very early. Frequented mostly by friendly local. Plain and simple strip mall venue.Mostly takeout but some sitting space. Locals volunteered to rearrange their sitting to accommodate our large family. We. always visit when were in the area.
I really enjoyed my meal, I had a carne asada burrito wet 🌯plate with beans and rice. I also ordered a small coke. Unfortunately the price was a whopping $17.00 and change. They also charge $1.00 for using your atm card. And again unfortunately I didnt have any cash on me. They were super sweet and very hospitipal. Their restaurant has really interesting art work on its wall and the restrooms are very clean, but I am not going back. I cant afford them. Sorry.
Amazing lunch! Got the milanesa, it was thin and crispy and delicious. Rice and beans were good too. No agua frescas but def stop here lunch.
Beat food ever! Fresh fresh fresh. The green sauce: I could eat by the bowl full. My adult children have moved out of California, but one of the things they have to do when they are home for a visit is go to Lolas. I usually order a veggie burrito and every bite is so good it’s hard to not make obnoxious noises of mmmmm mmmmm mmmmmm while I eat. The place is also stylish and clean. A must go!
Four stars for good food quality and quick service, despite the huge number of people coming through the door.-1 star for charging $1 for a cup of water, and hiding it from us until we questioned the inflated bill. Not cool.
My family and I have been eating here for over a decade. Best chicken soft tacos!!
This was our first time there. Probably our last. When we arrived, it appeared to be a normal sit-down restaurant. We were given menus and salsa, but as the gal was walking away, I asked for water and was given a very rude look for asking. I looked at my husband and we both wondered what I said so wrong as to warrant such a look. After looking at the menus for a while, still no water, and no one saying anything to us, I went up to the register and asked if I was supposed to order at the register. I was told yes. So that answered a lot of questions but I was so confusing at first on what was going on. It was just us and one other table so they Could’ve at least made it clear on how it worked there; At least when I asked her water she could’ve said oh it’s self service and handed me a cup or something. Food was ok but nothing to write home about.
Great food and friendly staff. The breakfast was authentic and tasty.
Awesome Mexican food at a great price. The best Ive had yet. If you get a chance to stop while traveling through Barstow, CA, definitely make Lolas Kitchen a must stop!!!
Very small, can fit maybe 20 people. How ever, the food is great! Its authentic mexican food just like yo mama makes. Definitely coming back!
Great place. Good food. You must order at counter, they bring your food to your table. How do you tip at a place like that? When we walked in just after 5, we were alone, by 5:30, it was standing room only.
A small hole in the wall location in a plaza. We knew it was worth the visit when we saw 3 police cars parked there having breakfast. Lola was there and was very sweet. Food was creative, delicious, with a Central American flare.
The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. The decorations are adorable. The table service is excellent. Yummy chips and salsa and huge portions for meals. Great beans and rice.
Get the puerto rico tacos...so good worth $4 dollarsGood portion size and the staff is friendly
Best Mexican food I have had in Barstow. Very polite and fast service. We go often and have never been disappointed. Simply amazing!
We have been customers for many years. The Lola sisters are friendly, the quality is high, the food is always good, and the prices are reasonable. Great place for Mexican breakfasts and lunches.
This place use to be a favorite spot, the burrito I ordered was just below meh, the flavors just werent there and the beans and rice were just below average.not sure what happened here but this is definitely not a stop for me anymore,Id rather eat at del taco at least their tacos have flavor.
Very over rated. It seems that their fame got to their heads and they and started charging more money for a less amount of lower quality food. Lola is literally laughing at you to the bank. They charge an entire dollar for a cup to get water just to give you an idea of how cheap they are. They wont bother doing something halfway decent like buying smaller cups in bulk and charging a dime for them to cover costs, nope not Lola, she needs every one of your pennies. Its not the worst food in Barstow which is why it earned another star but definitely not the best. Over-hyped, overpriced and underwhelming. Skip over this one.
Food is the best. Best chorizo eggs and potatoes burrito I have ever had. Thanks to the two young ladies that do all the cooking. Like eating at Momos.
I had the milanesa which was amazing. I loved the red sauce. My hubs ordered 2 breakfast burritos which were huge and delicious. He only needed one.
Great tasting Mexican food. A bit over priced, but in my opinion, its worth it.
Every time we go to Vegas or Laughlin we stop. Its spotless and food has great flavor. 👍
#12 2 hard shell Carnitas tacos w/beans and rice
Im new to Barstow so I asked a local where the best place to eat was, they said lolas, so I went. I was surprised to see it was in a strip mall but was welcomed by a guy at the counter. I asked what the best thing was and he said green chili enchiladas so I had that. It was great because thats one of my favorite mexican dishes.Anyway, food was great, great service. Very friendly people. Authentic Mexican cuisine at a good price. Ill be a repeat customer for sure.
Good food for a decent price! One of the very few Mexican restaurants Ive ever been to that definitely makes their own tortilla chips by hand. No doubt a out it.
Its always a pleasure to stop by and enjoy some authentic Mexican food! The food is great Everytime, the staff is amazing and the food is priced Right!! This is by far my favorite Mexican food restaurant and I recommend it all the time. 10 stars :)
Really nice little Mexican restaurant. Good salsa, good breakfast burrito. Super clean everywhere I looked including the bathroom. Definitely one of the better places to stop in Barstow.
I really really enjoyed the food. This place is great but it gets busy! This is a restaurant that should be expanded ASAP! Very limited seating inside but excellent customer services! Best spot in Barstow!
We were looking for something different driving through Barstow today. Lolas had great reviews. The food didnt disappoint. The place is small so be prepared to wait if you get there during rush hour, aka 6pm.
This was the first restaurant my family and I visited when we were out here in Barstow and we absolutely LOVED the food. The customer service was warm and inviting. The decor of the restaurant is beautiful and vibrant. Definitely a place to stop at when out Im Barstow.
I love it...! its pricey....but delicious...you must try the tacos Puerto Rican.....an older review says this is texmex....oh please ...I am Mexican. In fact I grew up in south Texas. Ive only been in Cali 4yrs. Lolas is the only Mexican food I will eat and pay for outside of my home cooked Mexican. Aqui..uno puede encuentrar comida authentica de Mexico. Las senoras y Alberto son muy lindos y attientes.
Our first visit to Lolas Kitchen was great and it certainly wont be our last. The food was yummy and reasonably priced. Lola and her crew were friendly. A perfect stop in Barstow!
Stopped here on our way to Malibu and I could not have been happier with the California Burrito. Never had one of these in Wisconsin but now Ill have to try making my own!
Amazing food! Excellent service!
This gringa crossing the high desert from San Diego didnt need to know about Carne asada fries, but I am so glad that I do now. Its like a Mexican poutine! So much freaking flavor in this dish, and even better with about 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce added. My friends has the beef enchiladas and said they were wonderful, moist and delicious. Its a busy place, friendly to the tourists (us) who came in and didnt know the drill (order at the register, get your beverage and sit down). Its a small, little place in a strip mall with fabulous food, do not be deceived by the exterior. Do not drive by.Any chance for a location in Detroit?
I was here with my family last afternoon on the way back to LA from Vegas. Clean place and good vegetarian food we had. Owner charges 0.85 cents for water and $1 for credit card charge. Receipt by email or text message.
Food was very good, service was excellent. Definitely will be going back💪🤝🤝🤝
The food was amazing! Its very informal, you pick a table and place your order at the counter. Everything we ate was delicious, its definitely on our list of top places to go.
Great spot for some delicious Mexican food!
This was my GO TO spot back in the days... when I was doing work on the base, or on our way to Vegas or Laughlin. I visited yesterday and entree plates are $12 and up OVERPRICED and beans and rice are spread out so thinly, you take a spoonful and you immediately see the bare plate. We had chilaquiles and huevos rancheros taste is authentic. However, I will stick to burritos to go instead more bang for your buck. They serve chips if you eat in and literally 10-15 chips for 2 people, half empty chip bowl.
Barstow gem! Went based on online reviews. I had carne asada tostada. It was very tasty, fresh, and just the right portion size. Hubby had carnitas plate. Meat was slightly smokey, with crispy edges and he said it was some of the best carnitas hes had. Tasty chips and salsa too. Decor is creative and colorful and the staff friendly. We liked it so well we plan to try them for breakfast tomorrow!
One of the best breakfast burritos I have had the blessing of eating. Awesome atmosphere, awesome folks crafting the food, and the salsa was legendary!
Love this place its always so delicious and clean!! The people are all very friendly and i just love their chips and salsa. Best Mexican food in town
Good food, had carne asada salad, Gloria Special. Clean comfy, friendly. Prompt lunch service.Great lunch stop on our road trip to the coast!
Stopped for lunch at Lolas because of the great reviews. We were not diisappointed. Service is great. Food is fresh and yummy. Thank you Albert! Will return.
Dont judge a book by its cover. Although you see literally nothing from the parking lot, inside you will find a lovely family-run small mexican restaurant. We had breakfast before hitting the road to kings canyon and it was delicious. They ran over to the supermarket the second they realized they had run out of milk to make sure we could enjoy our coffee the way we like it.
The food was excellent. Service was good. I think they should rethink there plates, it would move in a circle while you were eating.
Service was dismissive, food was presented well but flavor and seasoning was underwhelming overall
Best breakfast burritos in town. Hands down, you can fight me about it. Authentic af Mexican food and the best chips and salsa Ive ever had.
Very good Mexican food love there carne asada
Everything we had was amazing... Carnitas, chicken quesadilla, carne asada burrito... The rice is flavorful and fluffy, the freshly made tortilla chips are worth eating in for, and this is our new stop on our way to Vegas from LA.
Lolas Kitchen has by far the best Mexican food I have ever had. I enjoyed it numerous times while living in the desert. Lola cooks herself and puts a lot of pride in her place. She is well established and has been around for a long time (my first visit was in 2001). Lola is one of the sweetest, nicest people you will ever meet in your life. Her Steak ala Mexicana is delicious. Just for that alone the drive to Barstow every once in a while is a must :)
Just came back from Germany to the States. I was excited to have some Mexican food. Went to Lolas after reading reviews and it was ok. I was looking for fireworks in my mouth, but Lolas didnt do that for me. First they ran out of chili rellenos, chicken enchiladas were bland, kitchen was loud couldnt have a conversation, but the salsa and chips was yummy. Husband and I wont be going back there again.
On our way back from the Grand Canyon on our way home to San Diego and found this place via Google from I40. Had the chile relleno - pretty good,or about as good as you will find for authentic Mexican. Someone else in our party had a carnita tostada. All was very good - the guacamole was the only thing that could have been better.
Sopes. Sopes. U eat sopes and live forever. Happily. Also sopes. Nothing else as good. They have a crumbly feta-looking cheese on them. Not enough. Give me two sopes, one of the chorizo/potato and one of the pure gold plain bean heavenly wonderment. Bith with extra cheese. Extra extra. Thats a very light lunch. Fastest item on menu cause all the work been done making that little soft toughish corn base thing.Could say two of each if want. Or two of the potsto-chorizo and one bean. Vegan get potato no chorizo not on menu, and bean. . Youre allowed to pick them up but grab a knife they wont give you one. Just for the first bite ir two then pick up to eat. Not crunchy but thick. Corn. Pour a little sauce on about half the bites you take. Scoop droppings back onto sope w fork. Tacos good. Im about to try an enchilada cause im jackass sometimes. It wont be as good. Its ok I ordered
This is the best food. We have never been disappointed, and when we go thru Barstow, its a must! Best chile rellenos ever
I ordered the beef enchiladas with ground beef. It was kinda of soggy but it had a homemade flavor. I had mine without the cheese. It comes with Mexican cheese I dont care for it.
Delicious Mexican food. Even though they were very busy, the food came out quickly and the service was spot on. I would highly recommend the green enchiladas.
This may look like a hole in the wall Mexican restaurant but this is the BEST Mexican restaurant that you will ever go to. I cage get enough! I have eaten there every day of a work week and have never ordered anything that was disappointing.
Service was excellent. I had the Verde enchiladas and the California burrito. Delicious! I will make a point of stopping here anytime I pass through Barstow.
I love going to this place. Staff is always so pleasant. The environment isnt rushed and you can tell the staff take pride in their restaurant. Always clean and the food is the best food in Barstow!
So delicious and the portion sizes are huge. Friendliest staff we have encountered since moving to Cali. We will be back for more amazing food and service.
Great, authentic home style meal. Had chile relleno and torta Milanese - both fresh and tasty. Small place, but got seated quickly at noon.
Nice friendly service and great food would highly recommend stopping by to check them out
Food was excellent. Very friendly service. Will definitely be back.
As always....not a bad tasting item on their menu!!!! Worth the drive!!(if not local),fair price for what is unequivocally, by far..... The best tasting Mexican food in Barstow.
Best Mexican restaurant in town!!!!! Its a small restaurant with family like environment. The staff are great. I just wish they would have longer hours!!!
Stopped in while traveling. Delicious food, very friendly service. They were able to confirm which items were gluten free for me and my dad.
This place is a must stop in traveling through barstow. We read about it on yelp and both my wife and I are mexican food fanatics. We have eaten all over southern California and this restaurant is at the top of the list. We had to wait on a table to open up, but it was well worth the wait! Magnifico!!!!
We tried it while passing through on a road trip because the reviews were so good. It was only ok. It is located in an ugly strip mall. It is tiny but sort of cute inside. Food was average, nothing special.
Growing up in Phoenix and Las Vegas, but living in Utah now, I crave real Mexican Food every time I come to SoCal. We werent sure where to stop, so decided to choose based on Google reviews. Lolas did not disappoint! It was a-maz-ing! I loved the Steak a la Mexicana. Spicy and oh, so delicious. When I let my husband try it, he exclaimed, Wow!. Though overwhelmed by the deliciousness of my meal, he thoroughly enjoyed his Carne Asada burrito. We cant wait to eat here when we come back through.

2022-07-05Lola’s was a very pleasant surprise!!!! We were immediately and warmly greeted. Inside is intimate, cute artwork and very clean. It was minutes after ordering that we got our food. Everything had really great flavor… I’m always comparing all Mexican food to my Mami’s and grandma’s cooking who are from Morelia Michoacán. My only constructive feedback would be to make the agua frescas from scratch. We will be back…

2022-07-06Great food and friendly staff. Im not a fan of the concept where you have to pay tips before you even get your food

2022-06-23Excellent service and amazing food. We were greeted immediately and told where to order. The chips and salsa are delicious. Chips are perfectly cooked and very fresh. Food came out very, very fast. The restaurant is extremely clean and you can see where they cook is also immaculate.

2022-04-05Loved the chorizo breakfast burrito. I love it because they dont put in any bean or rice filler. Just eggs, meat, potatoes and cheese. Delicious

2021-07-27Im looking for a genuine mexican food that serves a “great food” in the area and found this on google with a very good reviewed. Upon arrival, 4 stars for a pleasant, neat place. Servant was good but not so accomodating, maybe because we’re not mexican 🤔. The food… Well, It’s not as good as expected. The first thing we’ve tried was pork burritos but to our surprised its just come with a pork & beans… no veggies at all. 🤨. Nevertheless, their hard taco was pretty much good. I ordered Jose’s special for togo.. but we’ll see if it deserved to be the best meal that they had. For now its just a couple of stars for me. Not well recommended.

2022-07-16This place is buenísimo! The food is so good and the employees so attentive. I knew I was going to do a review before I left the restaurant but when I walked out all of the sudden the owner came running out and said you forgot your purse. I was very happy with my experience before this but after this I was even happier. I loved the food and thought how awesome that they were so honest. I highly recommend this place!

2022-05-11There was no line and the had us go around front and park to wait for our order. They never brought our order out and after about 20 minutes, i went inside and they didnt have our order ready. The girl that helped us offered me a cookie for my inconvenience. Nevermind the fact that we ordered cookies and they werent even in the bag. Spoke to the manager and requested a discount or some of my money back and she did do that, but all this made me and my grandson late for our movie, so i was not a happy grandma.
