Chilaquiles, cocktails, and good vibes only🍋‍🟩☀️ Step into Midtown Manhattan where mexican cuisine meets brunch. The Firecracker Duroc Ribs are a MUST get. Their deep fried coating is to die for and they literally fall off the bone! The bar seating is gorgeous and we all know I love a pretty bar. The frozen Golden Hues was the perfect brunch drink but don’t stop there because they have a huge drink menu varying from salty and sweet. ‼️Follow @nywilleatyou for more NY eats‼️ ‼️Tag #nywilleatyou on your NY food posts for a chance to be featured‼️ 📍Lolita ~ Midtown Manhattan, NY

One of our favorite brunch spots. Just a little sad that the birria tacos were taken off of the menu.

First time I went to Lolita's. The front end was very good. Our waitress was attentive without being obsequious. Food was very good and I believe was decently priced (for NYC). Laid back vibe. Would definitely go back.

The guac we ordered didn’t come (and we weren’t charged for it). But the meals were substantial and the guac would have been too much. Steak burrito was excellent.

We went to Lolita’s for an early dinner and had a wonderful experience from the moment we walked in! The hostess greeted us with a smile and seated us at a beautiful table. Our waiter was from Texas, so naturally, we called him “Texas” all night! 🤠 He was an absolute sweetheart and provided excellent service. The food was delicious and fresh! We started with the cheese empanadas, TJ Mini Wagyu Dogs wrapped in bacon with roasted peppers and all the fixings on brioche, and the table-side guacamole served with fresh chips. Everything was so tasty! For our entrees, we enjoyed the Oaxacan Mole Chicken Enchiladas, which were delicious with a nice spicy kick, the Crispy Shrimp Tacos, and the Cali Skirt Steak Burrito. Everything was fresh and flavorful! To make the evening even more special, the staff sang “Happy Birthday” to my two friends! 🎂❤️ They also got us out on time for our Broadway show which started at 7 PM. As we were leaving, the bar scene was starting to pick up, and the atmosphere was becoming lively and energetic. Overall, we had a great experience with delicious food, wonderful service, and a fun atmosphere. We would definitely come back. Thanks, Texas!

I had a lovely time at Lolita. From the moment I walked in they were extremely welcoming and accomodated to all of my needs. Their food was so good and let’s not talk about the drinks, absolutely fantastic and so creative. Really admire how they use all fresh ingredients, hard to find a good quality drink when you go out to bars these days. I highly recommend this place, the staff were so kind and everyone with a smile. I will definitely be back.
