Lolita's Mexican Food
East Village, San DiegoClosed
Roger rated this 4 stars, excited that Lolita's had opened a downtown East Village location so he no longer had to drive to Chula Vista or Clairemont for a fix.
This East Village location of Lolita's closed permanently on September 24, 2023, with ownership citing staffing shortages and conditions near Petco Park. This page keeps Roger's dated review as a record, not as a place to visit.

Roger was glad Lolita's had opened a downtown East Village location, saving him the drive to Chula Vista or Clairemont. (From an unpublished Yelp draft review, never posted publicly.)
A secret East Village speakeasy hidden inside Neighborhood behind a wall of kegs, which Roger recommends booking a week ahead by text for, praising its whiskey cocktails and anything made with egg whites.
