“The portion sizes are quite large too.”
“We sat at a bar table which is really a large barrel with glass on top of it, it lends to the ambiance.”
“In particular the "Buey el Volcan estilo de Lola's" was excellent…so tender and juicy.”

I was here for a private event where there was a buffet style dinner, so I can't really speak for the tapas. The food I did have was okay to pretty good so I would give this place 3.5/5. Unfortunately, I don't know the names of what we had… but I do know that the cheesecake for dessert was really good!! The atmosphere certainly has a nice feel in both the private room downstairs and in the main area.
If you park in the garage across the street…. we had to pay $42 for about 4 hours… ick.
This is definitely a hidden gem in Hoboken. My roommate and I were strolling through Hoboken and came across this place and decided to go in. There was only one table sitting and another couple at the bar so we were a little nervous but the lack of people definitely did not have anything to do with food.
We got two cocktails which were delicious and very cheap. We were brought a small complimentary appetizer and then we went with the croquettes and the mussels, which we both loved. The ambiance is perfect and really comfortable. The only thing is that even though we were the only ones in there, the bartender took a while to take our plates away and bring us the check because he was on his phone.
I would love to come back and sit outside when the weather gets warmer.
So the food is never exceptional here it is always passable. But this time my service was so exceptional.
We sat at a bar table which is really a large barrel with glass on top of it, it lends to the ambiance.
We came in looking for a couple small plates and a nice glass of wine.
Let me say the pours were awesome, they were large pours and I can appreciate that. Also, our server Saul* ( I may be misspelling ) was the reason our experience was so good.
He was on his game, he kept coming over making sure we weren't empty on our glasses. This man gave us fave star service but the food was a 2.5-3.
We had the octopus and the avocado stuffed with crab. The octopus had a nice char on the exterior but it was a bit too chewy. It was in a vinegar sauce that was complimentary but could have been executed better.
The avocado dish was eh, didn't love the flavor profile. It was under seasoned and felt like imitation crab meat and the shrimp seemed out of place. I wouldn't order that again.
Saul really hooked us up and we were in and out in under an hour. We had an early morning and we were just looking for a quick experience.
I would come back for the HH specials M-TH and try an assortment of tapas.
I love Lola's! I think it is one of the best restaurants Hoboken has to offer if you're looking for a nice evening out with good drinks and great food. Of course not everyone has a tongue for Tapas or Spanish food but if you do trust me check this place out.
Upon walking in the decor makes it seem as if you are somewhere else. I would go and say Barcelona but I've never been so I'll settle for saying it reminds me of Old San Juan. The old Spanish style architecture and paintings filled with flowers just screams romance and enjoyment.
My cousin and I decided to sit inside because the humidity was too much to sit outside. Complementary appetizers are given along with bread and butter. The appetizer served is cut up seasoned potatoes with a drizzle of cheese sauce on them. Delicious! They are tiny and bite sized so you find yourself eating them quickly as you are chatting away.
For drinks we ordered the full pitcher of Red Sangria for $30. It served us each about 4 glasses which was great and much cheaper than ordering individual glasses.
I ordered the Valencia Paella which includes sausage, clams, and shrimp. I asked the waiter if he could substitute the sausage for chicken instead and he happily said he could. The Paella was huge and so delicious. The clams, chicken, and shrimp were fresh and the rice was cooked to perfection. It also came out steaming hot. This dish definitely can be for two people. As much as I wanted to finish my Paella I couldn't and ended up taking the rest home. No complaints there!
Lola's is a wonderful place for a nice romantic date or if celebrating something such as a birthday with a small group of friends. I highly recommend it and have never left unsatisfied.
Lola's is a solid tapas joint with a pretty tasty Red Sangria mix. The place is spacious inside and boasts a cool outdoor space.
Me and my fellow foodies ordered so much food that the old waiter told us we were too greedy. I enjoyed the grilled octopus, lobster ravioli, shrimp in garlic sauce, avocado and apple salad and mussels. We also ordered the filet mignon bites but they were under seasoned and a bit over cooked.
All in all a good night. Nice friendly atmosphere and good portions that don't leave you hungry or holding back a huge gut.
Love this restaurant!! The decor is so adorable – made me totally forget I was in Hoboken – There is a beautiful fountain in the middle of the restaurant and the ambiance makes you feel that you are in a little village, my friend also told me that there is a downstairs available for bigger parties – The food was amazing!! They gave us a complimentary appetizer dish of potatoes with an amazing white cream sauce and bread – For drinks, my friends and I shared a pitcher of red sangria which was dangerously good! For dinner, we shared the camarones al albarino which was shrimp in a wine sauce, albodigas en salsa tomato which was spanish meatballs in a red sauce, and chuletitas de cordero al romero which was lamb – everything tasted amazing! I will definitely be coming back to Lola's!!!
Lola's, Lola's, I really want to like this place, but just couldn't, they have a very good looking menu, but the food is just disappointing…..
I came here about a year ago based on a friend's recommendation. At the time we ordered quite a few tapas dishes, mostly seafood. The shrimp tasted as frozen shrimp, given the price they charge and the portion of the dish, I expect the shrimp to be fresh and good quality, it was totally not the case. We left the place feeling disappointed and didn't think we'd come back again.
A year later, we passed by here again and thought we'd give it a second chance, the venue itself is pretty charming and it has a few out door seating tables, so we decided to sit outdoor to try again. But once again, we didn't enjoy the food at all. This time we ordered Seafood Salad, Fresh Tuna in Tomato Source, Rib and Seafood Paella. I ordered the tuna to be rare, it came out medium, it was very chewy and salty. I only had 2 bites and couldn't eat it anymore. The seafood salad was not great, either, it felt the seafood was sitting in the source for way too long, all very soggy. Rib was kinda of ok, the paella probably was the best one out of all, but also very salty.
The service was pretty good and friendly, but it really didn't make up for the taste of food…. I am really sorry Lola's, I really wanted to love you!
3.5 stars. I love the concept and the atmosphere. We had wine and tried 3 tapas last night. The portabello mushrooms were addicting and the stuffed avocado and bacon wrapped scallops were good too. I just probably wouldn't come back because it was way overpriced for hoboken. Not being a byob doesn't help. We got 3 tapas and 2 glasses of wine each (so 4 glasses total) and our bill was around $78 before tip. It was barely a full meal. We just wanted something light so I don't feel that we got enough for the money. Other than that I do think it's a really cute place and we had great service.
