   Was labeled as brunch but had switched to lunch at11. Wasn’t bad but wasn’t great. A little too pricy for what we got. Service was friendly but very slow.

   I had the burger at the bar this visit which came with fries. It had a little spicy kick to it so be warned and the menu makes no mention of the addition of fries.

   Although we had a server who I have seen at the restaurant before he seemed unfamiliar with the menu and quite disinterested to the point of never providing us with utensils to eat with. The hostess seated us at a wobbly table outside on the patio and provided ALL the menus for the day even the Happy Hour menu which did not start for another hour. It took some time for a server to come over and even longer for him to deliver some water to the table while waiting in the afternoon heat of Miami with our dog. Since I live locally I come to this restaurant quite frequently I have found that the food tends to be inconsistent of late. In particular, the Mexican street taco is more frequently being served overcooked and dry giving the impression that the steak has been sitting out in the prep station all day. The shrimp tacos, although usually good, are more often drenched in sauce when I order them so I now request them with the sauce on the side. I like the extensive tequila selections offered here, which are very good and reasonably priced, and also the cheap margaritas which are available all day at fluctuating prices (be careful). My favorite food item though is the Birria (short rib) tacos for $6 each, note that all the tacos are half price on Taco Tuesdays here, but make sure to order broth on the side for a complete experience for $2 dollars even on Tuesdays. The restaurant also has one of the spiciest hot sauces for an additional $1. To my understanding and disappointment they do not have fresh juices but I am sure with a little begging you might be able to get a fresh lemonade made at the bar with some simple syrup and lemon juice. Ultimately I like to refer to restaurants such as this as a "request" dining experience. If you want something such as water, complementary standard bottled hot sauce and I guess utensils now, you have to ask for it. The restaurant does add an 18% service charge and is not very hospitable considering it is a hotel outlet.

   The good about the place is that the tacos are outstanding - only problem is the service and long wait to get your order of which usually a part is missing. Waiters are friendly but coordination with kitchen or whatever is causing the delay and missing items is poor. Would go more frequently but given the long wait until receiving the order (especially tacos which should be prepared in a few minutes when the restaurant is not busy which is usually the case, and not 45+ min) makes us hesitate. Also received wrong, higher pricing on the final bill (happy hour prices were not taken), so make sure you check the bill! Had to point it out to the waiter. Also another long wait to receive the new bill.

    The menu in the restaurant was not the same as on Open Table. We went because there were more options than just tacos. There was lamb and fish listed for the mains. There were no mains on the menu in the restaurants

    This restaurant does not seem aware that they are using OpenTable. Both times I made a reservation, they did not know about it. The second time it was a problem because there were 2 groups of 6 who wanted to be seated outside at the same time. Both groups had OpenTable reservations, but the staff knew nothing about the reservations. They eventually created spaces for both groups and we had a nice meal.

    Delicious tacos!! Most of the cocktails include tequila, which is not my favorite, so I asked for horchata with a shot of rum and it cost $17! Took the waiter a LONG time to bring my companion a draft beer. But delicious tacos!!

    Had an absolute delightful experience Lolo’s. We were greated immediately and everyone who we encountered were extremely nice and made sure we were enjoying everything. Enjoyed it so much the first time for dinner we came two nights later and sat outside for some cocktails and appetizers. Fish tacos were phenomenal. Make sure you put this on your restaurants to visit during your stay in South Beach!

    Could not be worse. We made this reservation for a party of 10 and a friend made another for a party of 8 because we were 18 friends excited to watch the final of the WorldCup in the so claimed one of the 20 best spots in Miami to watch the WorldCup. We arrive and they had just one TV facing the tables and just one side of us could see it because the other side was facing the other way with no TV and they were right below the only TV. Then we noticed they didn't have the channel but were streaming from an online site and was continuously loading and the worst thing is that the view was from the fix camera in the top of the stadium so impossible to follow the game. The manager was a disaster and careless. He never ensured we could watch the final but just reacted after each complain and had no idea how the streaming worked and how to select the right camera/view. He went inside the kitchen to "fix" something and never came out. After 10 minutes more waiting we decided to leave but the waitress mentioned we had to pay what we ordered so far which of course we didn't eat because we were standing up complaining. She said it was either that or wait for the manager. So we waited complaining of course another 10 minutes without the manager going out until a waitress came out of the kitchen mentioning the manager was not going to come and we could leave in the last act of cowardice of that manager. That's how a party of 18 friends plus everyone else there who were not in our party missed the final of the WorldCup in a place claiming to be one of the 20 best spots in Miami to watch the WorldCup all due to the worst and most coward manager I've ever seen

    I made a res for Cinco De Mayo. We had friends in town and we thought it would be a good spot for some Margaritas and Mexican fare. When we got there, the music was super-loud and I knew it would not work for my guests. I noticed an out door table looked like they were just having drinks. When I asked the hostess if she would check and explained about the music, she sprang into action, confirmed they almost done, and kindly moved us to that table. It may not seem like a big deal, but in this town it is. So go, drink and eat and enjoy.

    Some of the worst service I’ve experienced in a long time. It took forever for our food to get to us, and even longer for us to get the check, and then even longer for the waiter to give us the correct check because he inattentively gave my friend and I two of the same check, even though we ordered very differently priced items. We essentially had to hunt our waiter down time and time again so that we could get out of this restaurant. The food was hit and miss. My shrimp tacos were good, but surprisingly ungenerous. My friend got what had to be the blandest and greasiest burrito that made her feel so gross that she couldn’t finish it. It’s weird that there’s about a $2 difference between my literally tiny tacos and her massive greasy burrito. Additionally, and this isn’t unique to this place, but I ordered coconut water and it was $13!!!! Coconuts literally fall from the trees and cost almost nothing. Meanwhile, this place thought their very small coconuts (though delicious) were worth more than an hour of minimum wage. Overall, this was a negative experience and I would not recommend the service, food, or prices to anyone.

    Main food & drinks were excellent, along with guacamole. But the tortilla chips & “salsas” were the worst I’ve ever had at a Mexican restaurant. Great atmosphere for a hotel restaurant.
