I absolutely Love Lolita! It’s aesthetically pleasing. The service was impeccable! Chris (Bartender) and Alfredo (Waiter) were both thee best! The food was yummy! We had Oysters, Enchiladas, Birria Tacos, and we even had dessert ( I never order dessert). Everything was scrumptious! I will definitely be back!

Had an amazing experience at Lolita over the holiday season. Incredible cocktails and dishes - authentic and creative! Such a beautiful and warm ambiance too! All the decor was stunning, and I loved all the attention to detail from the space, to the menu, and presentation. Definitely a special spot that I look forward to bringing more friends, coworkers, and family to in the future! The happy hour cannot be beat! And the cocktails, tacos, and empanadas were so good we had to stay for a couple more rounds to explore the menu further before heading to a show in the area. The service was wonderful too. We felt welcomed by the whole team from the door to our seats and at the bar, even with the busyness of the holiday season. This is a buzzing spot while still being its own little escape in the heart of midtown. Jade, one of our bartenders was so kind and knowledgeable, she walked us through the menu and shared recommendations based on our tastes, she thoughtfully checked in throughout our meal too. Needless to say she made us feel special! We will definitely be back!

The establishment was pretty empty during peak brunch hours. The inside is absolutely beautiful with ornate décor and furniture. Service was on-point since there weren’t many patrons. The brunch food selection is more unique than your standard American breakfast. I got the Roast Pork Sisig ($25). There was a generous portion of meat but it was so so salty. I had to guzzle down cups and cups of water!

We went for after dinner drinks and loved it! Stayed longer than expected because the drinks were good and bartender was very friendly. Will definitely come back. Drinks: We got the Straw Hat and Las Mineras cocktails to start. The bartender made great recommendations for our next few rounds: Golden Hues, Painkillers (This), and Oaxaca Old Fashioned. Food: Couldn’t resist ordering the guacamole appetizer at some point. The portion looked small but it was actually very filling, and insanely delicious! Would go back just for the guac. Atmosphere: On a Saturday night ~9:30pm there were still plenty of seats at the bar. The place is spacious and upscale-feeling so great ambiance and mood. Seats at the bar were very comfy.

Came here with family and had a wonderful experience! They have a wide variety of drinks & the food was delicious. Our server Alfredo was very nice and attentive. He gave us great recommendations and was very sweet. Will definitely be coming back!

This was a Yelp search for a place near Bryant Park to dine at that was not going to break my bank. Christmas time in the city is the best! So beautiful. Lolita was decorated so nice! Really classy! I was able to make a reservation so we were seated immediately upon arrival. The staff were very friendly. Our server was very attentive. Food was delivered appropriately and nothing overlapped. We had appetizers served first. Once they were done, our entrees came. Portion sizes were perfect for the price. Very reasonable, especially for this area of the city. Food was yummy! We enjoyed every single item we ordered! Definitely recommend and will keep this place in mind for the next time I’m in the area!

I had an amazing dining experience at Lolita! The food was absolutely incredible - each dish was bursting with sensational flavour. Our server, Andreas, was outstanding; his recommendations were spot on, and his attentive service made us feel truly valued. If you’re looking for delicious food and exceptional service, Lolita is a must-visit!

Absolutely amazing experience at Lolita Restaurant on 45th Street. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the stylish decor, the inviting ambiance, and the excellent sound quality. The music created a great atmosphere without being too loud, and everything felt welcoming and well thought out. I arrived just before 4 p.m., which is when they open, and there was already a line of people waiting. That was the first sign this was going to be a quality experience. We were lucky to get a table because the place filled up quickly and was fully booked. We stayed until 5:30 p.m., and the entire time was truly enjoyable. We started with the guacamole bowl and chips with salsa, and it exceeded all expectations. This was easily the best guacamole I have ever had. We then tried two kinds of tacos, and both were delicious / fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. For dessert, we ordered the buñuelos. They were just as impressive. The serving included about eight, and they were so good, but we were so full we had to take half to go. If you're in New York and looking for a Mexican restaurant that offers a great atmosphere, amazing food, and reasonable prices, Lolita is the place to go. I highly recommend it and will absolutely be returning.

Recently I hosted a birthday party here and was able to reserve the back of the bar with only 1 day notice. When I arrived, the manager let me know that he had not been informed about my reservation but that he would do what he could. He was so incredibly accommodating, even letting customers in small parties know that a larger party had reserved those seats. He welcomed me with a birthday glass of champagne and continually checked in with me throughout the night to make sure my guests and I were taken care of. The space is not large, overall, and the front room can get quite crowded near the bar. The back has lots of seating and patrons are able to order food in from nearby eateries. There is only one bathroom, however, so waiting on line for it will be inevitable. Drinks are reasonably priced and the staff I interacted with was lovely.

Funky old school beats by the DJ. Open late and suitably chill at times.

I usually don’t write reviews but I had such a great experience at Lolita NYC that I had to come on here and share. from the great food to the amazing customer service I give this place a 10/10. Andres our server went above and beyond, he was friendly professional and made the experience that much better. Andres recommended the empanadas and I was shocked with the authentic delicious flavor. I will definitely be back!

Attended a meet up there and really enjoyed the bar. The drinks were strong, cheap and tasty, and the service was great. Only downside is they only take cash or American Express but there is an ATM on site.

Fun drinking spot with comfy couches and happy hour specials until 8pm. If you’re hungry, ask for the menus and order delivery.

The bar-restaurant offers a sophisticated and cozy atmosphere, with warm lighting and an elegant setup that makes it perfect for a night out. The service is attentive and professional, adding to the overall experience. The Daiquiri was well-balanced, with a smooth blend of rum, fresh lime juice, and a hint of sweetness from the simple syrup. The texture was silky, and the citrus notes provided a refreshing finish. The cocktail was served in a classic coupe glass, enhancing its elegant presentation. Overall, it’s a great spot for expertly crafted drinks and a relaxed vibe.

Celebrated my birthday here with family and it was a lovely experience. Very accommodating as well with having my baby, the true star of the night. The food was great and the Paloma was my favorite drink, made to perfection! Such great hospitality and service overall. Thank you for making my 33rd birthday special.

Walking around the city looking for the perfect brunch spot and we found this gem literally in the heart of manhattan. Fun with a good selection of dishes Mexican inspired with fresh ingredients and very tasty drinks. I tried the huevos rancheros 10/10 and the birria tacos 8/10. Salad 10/10. Our server JeanCarlos was amazing, he took such a good care of us at brunch, very friendly and polite. Thank you Lolita’s team. I will def come 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.

Just had my birthday happy hour here and couldn't have been more pleased with the spot. Happy hour goes til 8, which is awesome, and it was not cramped or crowded like some other places. Great music played, too!

I made reservations for a group of 9 people about a month in advance (I had to time it with the show we had tickets for afterward). When we arrived, they took 20 minutes to get our table ready then were very slow to begin taking orders. Other than that, the food was very good! The cevice and ahi tuna tostada were amazing, the plantains were alright, and the vegan tacos dorados were delicious.

We just found this place quite last minute and was so surprised. The decor and vibe was great, the hostess told us about the owners design and furniture choices. We had two margaritas which were delicious We have the guacamole which was so fresh! The mains came, I had the vegan Tahoe which were honestly some of the best I’ve had. My friend had the pork tacos. All though very tasty she thought the size of the dish was a little small for the price.
