Lola's Kitchen Inc Reviews

Possibly the best green chili I have ever had. It made the chicken enchalada excellent.

It feels like I'm visiting my aunt but I'm also mad because my aunt didn't do this first lll

I enjoyed my dining experience and will definitely be back. It's 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.

This place is (in my opinion) just as great as Platas on Irwin Rd. I love eating at them both. And the people there are so friendly too.

Great food made fresh. Clean kitchen and restrooms.

All my meals were fantastic, great staff and they have great hours. Great Job!

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 won't 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. It's 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.

Our first visit to Lola's Kitchen was great and it certainly won't be our last. The food was yummy and reasonably priced. Lola and her crew were friendly. A perfect stop in Barstow!

Must have the asada torta every trip to Vegas. We plan our journey it be there at meal time. Other items were good but the tortas are amazing.

I eat here when I can my wife and I are from South Texas and it's the only place that taste like home , I highly recommend this spot for taco lovers the owner is very charming as well love love love this place .

The food is good but make sure you tell them how you want it

I always get a egg and potatoe with cheese breakfast burrito, and it's the best! I pay $5.00 for 1 burrito, but 1 us all ur going to need because they r big and filling.

must stop here if you pass through the area. what a gem.

Best tasting chile relleno I've had in months. Delicious everything!

Really good. Staff is friendly. Food is excellent. Have the elote if it's available.

Pretty good food. I stop in whenever I can. We also place large orders here. Usually consistent.

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.

Eight of us just ate here, all of us give 5 stars.

Great food

Good chefs

One of the best Carne Asada Tortas I've ever eaten!

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 wouldn't really tell the difference between authentic and Americanized dishes. I think it's the best you can get in the area.

Absolutely love their food but it is quite pricey, but I understand why the staff is always excellent and I love the decor!

Food was bomb AF bruh. She Killin the burrito game fr fr

I'm 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 that's one of my favorite mexican dishes.

Anyway, food was great, great service. Very friendly people. Authentic Mexican cuisine at a good price. I'll be a repeat customer for sure.

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 he's 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!

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!

Tipical Mexican food, nice place, humble service provided by Lola her self!

Best breakfast ever, great environment, friendly and quick to serve. All the food is amazing!!!

Super delicious and amazingly fast. Homemade refried beans. The locals know, it was hopping.

Great food, best to pay cash and bring your own water bottle in. We love stopping here, and they're pretty quick. Doesn't 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.

Small place with awesome food.
We stopped here on out way from Vegas and the food was really amazing. Worth the detour.

Breakfast Burrito was too blah.. Sorry but I'm going to stay with Plata's

By automobile, Barstow is exactly half-way between San Diego and Las Vegas, a logical recharging point on that trip's 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 I've discovered Lola's, 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 it'd be just a smidgen above average -- but Lola's should be considered a culinary oasis in California's so-called "high desert" of the sparse and arid Mojave Desert region.



The "Chile Colorado" at Lola's 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 you'd get from a grandma.

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.

Good Mexican food at a reasonable price. Be sure to note their operating hours - they close early.

They shi...was nasty salty they wet Burritos need lots of work on Learning how to cook Burritos

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!!

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.

Lola's 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.

Lulu's kitchen is always good no matter what you order

Just came back from Germany to the States. I was excited to have some Mexican food. Went to Lola's after reading reviews and it was ok. I was looking for fireworks in my mouth, but Lola's didn't do that for me. First they ran out of chili rellenos, chicken enchiladas were bland, kitchen was loud couldn't have a conversation, but the salsa and chips was yummy. Husband and I won't be going back there again.

Delightful and stellar service. Safe covid practices. Definitely need to stop here!

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 didn't 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 can't afford them. Sorry.

It has great food and if your looking for some classic Mexican food I suggest it

IT S THE BEST FOOD IS AWESOME N SO IS ALL THE WORKERS AN ALBERT IS THE GREATS GO THERE ALL THE TIME

Don't let the outside fool you, this little restaurant is wonderful! Great atmosphere, good service, and amazing food! :)

Great, authentic home style meal. Had chile relleno and torta Milanese - both fresh and tasty. Small place, but got seated quickly at noon.

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.

Salsa Verde enchaladas were the perfect tough of spicy and their salsa was delicious. Service was quick.

We love stopping at Lola s when traveling through Barstow. In fact, we organize our schedule to make sure we can stop for breakfast!

Service was quick, food was great, and everyone was friendly. Carne Asada tacos were good but no limes. Definitely will stop by again when I'm in the area.

Delicious food! Very fresh. Will be coming back for more when I'm out this way.

Not impressed with the serve urself & charging A DOLLAR to process a credit card for a $30.00 bill.

When I'm in or passing through Barstow, I eat at Lola's kitchen.

Beutiful design, nice people delicious food taco salad yummy

Food is affordable and delicious. Great customer service. Free refills on fountain drinks.

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!

Great place with attentive service and good home cooking.

We stopped in on our way to CA from Oklahoma the food is authentic Mexican home style inexpensive very very good try it you won't be sorry

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!

Best Mexican food I have had in Barstow. Very polite and fast service. We go often and have never been disappointed. Simply amazing!

Easy to find off highway and great dishes served promptly with a smile. Hoping local spot worth the stop.
