I went to this place a few days ago. I didn’t really enjoy the food I thought was pretty plain and I felt it was overpriced! for some tacos!
I went around the lunch hour, so I don’t know how we’ll be doing dinner time

Food was great and of quality! I am a sucker for plantains so I got the plantain quesadilla. It did not disappoint! Great blend of warm sweet and savory from the plantains and cheese. The cantaloupe and prosciutto was an another sweet and savory mix. Can't stress this enough - the cantaloupe was extremely sweet! Must be in season :) Chips, salsa and guacamole were yummy, but I will say, the chips tasted a tiny tiny bit stale, or maybe the cut of it was just a bit too thick. My favorite part about all of this was our server. Great service provided! We asked for the spiciest sauce they got. He went above and beyond by giving us some of his personal stash and other options to meet our desires. The place is nice and modern. I won't say this is the "best" Mexican food in Utah, only because it's not super authentic. However, everything was truly tasty! Lola puts a nice modern and upscale touch to Mexican dishes. The results are pretty darn good!
