Mexican restaurants are not that frequent here in the North West as they are in Southern California for example (for obvious reasons…look at the map) and I love Mexican food! When we were in San Diego last spring I really had a blast and I do own a Tex-Mex cookbook :)
Lolita’s is a small place downtown Vancouver, fairly new, with a very nice atmosphere. Beer and cocktail selection is nice and the menu is not too bad either; a bit more sophisticated than the majority of Mexican restaurants I have been to.
We went to Lolita’s twice…
The first time we had the Ceviche, which was a bit bland, and the Beef Taquitos with BBQ sauce which were a success with my husband [not crazy about BBQ sauce myself] for starters and the Paella for main – seafood was cooked perfectly, it was nice and spicy but I thought a bit more rice was in order. We also had some sort of a banana split with vanilla ice cream and Rum caramel for dessert which was yummi.
Yesterday we went for a second round and had some Tacos * Shrimp and Pineapple salsa * Carne Asade* served with rice and fried beans – delish! were too full to try anything else or order dessert :)
