The fish tacos are sublime, especially the blue corn tortillas which were so delicious.

Ceviche was on the sour side, the tacos tropical was so, so. Cricket tostada was yummy and the cauliflower carnitas were a bit bland. Overall great fancy mexican food.

Loló is a bit pricey, but it is worth it! Their fish tacos are some of the best that I have ever eaten. They have a wonderfully balanced flavor with an embrace of acidity that I find utterly addicting. I also tried the ceviche and empanadas, which both impressed me with their flavors. The chips were a bit hard, but also free so no complaints there!

The staff were quite friendly and attentive! Loló is now on my shortlist of favorites to dine at when in San Francisco.

I found the rates vs quantity a little pricey - but then I’m not an SF local. The Shrimp Taco was REALLY good. I also liked their Tempura Cod Tacos- second best dish of the night! Proof of Vaccination is required for indoor dining. We are $50 worth of food and still felt like we could eat a LOT more.

The fried chicken tacos were really good. The kitchen forgot one of our orders initially but the food was pretty good overall.

Sat outside and it was a pretty good vibe.

A delicious and comfortable stop with outdoor seating on the closed Valencia block on a Saturday. We had the ceviche, elote, and guac for starters. The tuna tacos on a refreshing gluten free jicama "tortilla" was quite nice and the carnitas nachos were large a filling. I also enjoyed a tasty botanical cider by Bedfellows that was a good accompaniment.

Loló is on my list now! One of my favorites. When I was there it was late so the pictures are dark but don’t let that fool you the place is incredible.

Food
Started with ceviche… which is one of the best I’ve had in the US. This is really nice and they use radish as garnish. Presentation is great. Taste is way better. The powder pepper give it good flavor.
Then we tried a bunch of their tacos (it was a big group so we had variety). Their fish tacos are really good, the fried chicken are good and so is the tinga! It tastes just like the one from home.
The nachos are also good. The carnitas definitely 10/10 and the chips are good. Not like the ones that get soggy.

Let me tell you their tortillas are really good! Would def come here just for that.

Drinks
I enjoyed their batanga.

Staff
Attentive and very courteous. They are really nice a big team. The first time we went food was served really really fast. Second time it took a little longer but not too long.

A must try!

I ordered the tuna tacos, tacos tropical, beef birria quesadillas, fried avocado tacos, and the chili relleno. The first four were terrific. The relleno was filled with bacon, which was overwhelming and unnecessary. Overall an outstanding dinner.

People complaining about the prices are probably used to paying lower prices for bigger portions at Mexican restaurants but here, I think the prices are fair.

The food is delicious but there are many items on the menu that are not Mexican. The Heirloom Tomato Salad is delicious as is the Tuna Taco. The Tinga Tostada was also good but not seasoned/spicy enough for my liking. I had the sp carne asada taco/quesadilla type of thing, that was my least favorite.

Unique, flavorful twists on traditional Mexican dishes and plenty of vegetarian options as well. The Chili Relleno was the standout dish for us stuffed with bacon and shrimp and encrusted with thin crispy cheese. Went here with a party of 3 and even though most of the dishes came 2 items per dish, they allowed us to order 3 per dish. Plenty of outdoor seating, although I recommend getting here early as it fills up fast.

Fresh take on Mexican food with creative dishes, unique pairings, and beautiful presentation all served tapas style - plan to share. 8 page long tequila/mezcal list, gluten free and vegan options well labeled. You’re not overwhelmed by food choices when deciding, and things came out incredibly quick.

I had eaten from taquerias three of the past four nights and wasn’t thrilled about going to another, but I was very surprised by loló.

Braulio is the greatest waiter I have ever had in my life. I was having a TERRIBLE day and he turned it around and made it the best night of my life. I will surely return, hungry for more.

Tacos is so good, but service impressed even more, very attentive and friendly.
Friday night might be a bit overcrowded

My friend recommended this place, so I thought why not.

Simple and delicious food. We ordered some appetizers. Got Guacamole & Blue Corn Chips. (amazing), Chicken Tinga and Beef Birria Burritos.

I would recommend this place, and definitely come back again.
