Loli’s Cafe

So I want to start by saying I come to this restaurant often before I go to work because it’s right by my house and usually it’s great! But today I just had a really unpleasant experience. So I pull up like normal to get some tacos and there was only one person in front of me, but the wait seemed to be a lot longer than usual, but I didn’t sweat it. I then get to the window and it’s a woman I’ve never seen work the window before. I order my regular, and normally the ladies will ask if I want red or green, but she didn’t, and she also just seemed annoyed already but It was whatever. So when she handed me my bag I looked inside and she gave me red which was fine. The problem came when I looked at the cups of salsa. I noticed immediately that they must’ve downgraded on their salsa cup size because these new cups were TINY (I’ll post a pic for reference) and there was no way that two of these small cups would be enough for my two tacos, especially when they don’t even fill the cups up all the way. So I asked the lady nicely if I could get another thing of salsa. She rudely says “one per taco” without even looking my way. And then I said that I wouldn’t mind paying extra if that was the issue, and she legit looked up and then just ignored me and went to go help someone else. At that point I just gave up and left. I literally never leave reviews for places, but I felt like I needed to say something because honestly the situation was just off putting and frustrating. On top of that I was right because when I got the time to eat the tacos, these little cups didn’t even come close to being enough. I would also like to say I normally get great service from this place and the two normal ladies at the front are always so kind. I would like to say I think they definitely need to bring back the normal sized salsa cups (they just had them not a couple of days ago) and if not, at least make an option where we as customers can buy extra if needed. Lastly, I just want to note that I probably wouldn’t have had as much of a problem or even left a review had that lady, whoever she was, not been so damn rude and dismissive for no reason.

The “Combo Ranchero” Gonna be honest, it was so-so. A little slopped together. There was more chucks of bacon than there were eggs! Salsa Verde or “Green Salsa” and the guacamole were really, really good. Tortilla was good too. Just fix the egg-bacon ratio and the amount in the taco, it was really difficult to eat because of this. Definitely need a fork or an extra tortilla. Also, eggs seemed a little over cooked but again, there wasn’t much eggs to begin with.

Have to hit this place up EVERY time I am in town!! Best breakfast tacos around. I keep saying I'm going back to try other things but have not yet. They are friendly, the portions are generous and oh so tasty! Recommend, the lines are long but move fairly quickly. Get there early while some folks are still asleep. Lol

Despite the long lines the service was very quick and friendly. I have driven by this place at least a dozen times, picking up or dropping off my son and I have to say it’s the first time I’ve decided to stop and have a bite. Lolita the owner, was so nice and really made me feel at home. The barbacoa taco was fantastic! The salsas had the right amount of flavor and heat. I I especially liked the red sauce it was different then the green sauce and had a bit of a smoky taste to it. I most definitely will be coming back here often!

After 3 years of living in San Mo I finally got tacos from here. These are the BEST breakfast tacos I have tried in San Marcos!! I got 2 chorizo & egg tacos, the flour tortilla is handmade and let me tell you these tacos are big!! I also got a Lolita’s Combo but I preferred the chorizo😬 They give you a lot of salsas (red & green). The salsa is not spicy but the green has a great flavor! The lady at the drive thru was so sweet & nice! She gave me a free barbacoa taco ( corn) and this is truly an authentic Mexican taco. I do wish they were open more late so I can eat some tacos for dinner, but I will definitely be coming back for sure. Give this place a try you won’t be disappointed.
