Lolita's

Authentic Mexican in a buzzy setting

Lolita's long, cramped, candle-lit space is packed solid every night, and with none of that distasteful Vladimir Nabokov novel stuff on the side. Not only fresh and healthy but exotic and authentic, Lolita's is all about the fun, Mexicana style. Stacked with dusty tequila bottles, carved wooden signs and cute mini-mascots made from coconut husks, you'll feel like you're on holiday all over again - minus the MTV RnB grindathons, and with a good dollop of reggae and ska instead. Try the Jicama Salad, Lolita's House Tacos or a classic Sopa de Tortilla, and cool your guns with a glass of sangria or a Matador mojito complete with cocktail umbrella. Tables are unreserved and as such, hard to come by, so settle in at the bar with a margarita and wait your turn.

Top Tip / UJ Loves: The massive tequila selection…arriba, arriba!
