Customer Review Summary
Goat cheese, served as a salad or alongside aubergine in honey, is the dish diners name most, with creamed baked hake, ox cheek, pork loin, calamari, mussels, prawns and mushroom croquettes close behind. Churros with chocolate and the cheesecake earn praise at dessert, and one reviewer calls the sangria the best part of their meal. Several mention tapas arriving together and hot, friendly staff, good music, and a birthday table that was sung to after the food. Not everyone is convinced. One reviewer found the food bland and pricey for how average it tasted, and another thought the chicken skewers were not well seasoned before cooking, though the inferno sausage was good. That same diner felt staff checked on satisfaction too often and suggests two dishes per person, since ordering six left them very full. One family who waited for a table were given complimentary drinks to make up for it.

“You know what they say..people write a review when it was either great or terrible..and it was bloody delicious. There is so much variety on the menu but not in a way that it gets overwhelming. We had calamari, mussels, goats cheese, aubergine in honey, various Spanish potato based classics to name just a few! Next time I'll delve into the pork dishes including the black pudding. All the tapas came out at the same time which was appreciated. The staff were attentive, warm and friendly throughout. Highly recommend! Muchas gracias”

“We had a fantastic experience at Lola’s Spanish Restaurant! Everything was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent, and our food arrived very quickly. The atmosphere was great, with amazing music and air conditioning inside, which made it very comfortable. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!”

“Food is above average but maybe it is just not my style, the inferno sausage is good but chicken skewers was not very well seasoned before cooking. Staff are friendly, especially the senior lady, but a bit too much when checking the satisfaction of customers 4 times in just 40 mins we stayed there. Note that 2 dishes per person is recommended, 3 might be good if you are very hungry. We ordered 6 and so full.”

“Excellent experience. We came at 8pm, waiting time about 20 minutes. Food is fantastic. My favorite is goat cheese salad. The prawn was nice my son ate all of them. Mushroom croquettes were good. They gave complements drink to compensate for time we wait. That’s nice!”
