Lola Rose

First time at Lola Rose and it won't be our last. After hearing about it online, we couldn't turn down a chance to celebrate our anniversary with brunch. The restaurant is in a market type setting with several restaurants and professional buildings. The restaurant has a modern decor with tile on the walls, custom bar, etc. The brunch menu is diverse with Mexican and New Mexican dishes. My girlfriend's chilaquiles had good flavor, a little heat, and crisp but soft tortillas. The menu also has chicken and waffles, pasta with shrimp, and steak options. I had the grilled steak sandwich which was definitely a fork and knife meal. The steak was generous with perfectly cooked onions and Swiss cheese. The garlic aioli on grilled toast was incredible and a side of perfectly crispy French fries was spot on. The service was professional and attentive. Bathrooms were clean and the restaurant was nicely decorated. Even some live music during the brunch. Please come check out Lola Rose. We will be back too.

I really wanted to like this place because of all the great recommendations from friends who have had a wonderful experience, albeit a pricey one (but it is fine dining so what else should I expect?). So I was pretty disappointed that my experience was, well, disappointing. We went for brunch. We were a large party, so again - what should I expect? The decor was nice and I was really hungry. Due to dietary issues, I asked if the chef could make a traditional hollandaise for the Eggs Benedict, not the chipotle version, and the answer was no (there were two large parties at the time, so what should I expect?). The server explained that they make all the Hollandaise up in the morning (they what?), so I immediately figured that the Benedict was not going to meet my expectations. The kind server brought me a sample to see if I could tolerate the chipotle they used in place of lemon, and it was then the server told me then that the chef uses Tabasco sauce, not chipotle. The menu said chipotle, which is nowhere close to the peppers used in Tabasco. So that left me scratching my head. Still, the hollandaise I sampled was pretty bland. I opted instead for a simple platter of scrambled eggs, bacon, fried breakfast potatoes, with a side of pancakes. The server actually did a pretty good job of getting all meals to the table at about the same time. It all looked good. But the fried potatoes on my plate were refrigerator-cold. I have never had this happen in any restaurant, let alone a fine dining restaurant. I wondered at this point if maybe this was some sort of new-fangled potato salad? No, the server assured me they were supposed to be served hot. She whisked my plate away to have the chef fix it. Who would refrigerate fried potatoes and then reheat them? I'm not an expert, but I do know that re-heated fried anything is pretty disgusting. Thankfully I had pancakes to eat while I waited and honestly those were pretty good. When the new plate came out, if I had to guess, I would say the potatoes had been microwaved because the heat in the center of them was volcanically hot, but the outsides not so much. So after a sub-standard meal not at all representative of fine dining or even the quality one would expect from a greasy spoon -- where I had limp bacon and average eggs, hot tea, and a dessert (that had to be substituted because they were out of what I ordered, then didn't arrive with the others) -- I paid over $50 including 20% gratuity for reheated leftovers. Ordinarily I would give restaurants as lauded as this one a second chance, because anyone can have a bad day, but I just can't justify it at these prices. TLDR: brunch was well below average quality for well above average prices. Dinner might be better.

Lola Rose is an absolute gem! The ambiance and decor on the inside is such a vibe. The service was exceptional and the food was even better. As I expand my horizon getting to know more dining options here in El Paso, Lola Rose is at the top spot. I can't wait to go back and explore more of their brunch and dinner menus.

A guy pal was having a special birthday and I offered to take him for a special birthday dinner. He requested Lola Rosa, so I easily made reservations for an early dinner on Saturday.We were greeted by friendly staff and quickly seated . The inter I r was fool and delightful- the ambiance is sort of a lag garden or a ritzy tropical locale. We ordered cocktails and there were fabulous. Our server, Michelle, recommender different ryes for my pal's old fashioned and I had the Yacht to Ibiza...yes I was floating away on a delightful voyage. We ordered the citrus salad and the hummus for starters- both were really tasty. For the main, he ordered the pasta with shrimp and I ordered the NY steak topped with two eggs over easy- I taught several Pilates classes that morning so I wanted some protein! Bothe meals were beautifully plated, and tasted great. We ended the meal with cappuccino, the signature latte and a Mediterranean cheesecake dessert. Michelle made the event special with a birthday sparkler. The food was so good I never eat my entire meal, but today I did...well my pal did eat a lot off my plate after he polished off his own! You almost could not stop eating it was that good.So I had been here a year ago and please note that they updated their menu about 6-7 months ago and I love the new menu, there is something g for everyone on this new brunch menu from steak to French toast, chilaquiles, and pancakes. The brunch menu changes over to the dinner menu at 3 PM.

I had the impression to be back in France at a sophisticated lounge with cool Buddha bar music. By hey reality check - we are in El Paso. The atmosphere is feutre and discotheque like. The food was orignal but simple in its conception and presentation. We had the Octopus for a starter that was tender but the sauce was too spicy for our taste. The Lamb chops were medium rare and rose really cooked to perfection. Also enjoyed their version of a French ratatouille. The tagliatelle with lobster were also a classic dish and delicious. Great service very attentive. Overall a great experience but a little bit on the pricey side.

Lola Rose servers are the best: attentive, caring, and charismatic. Perfect. We ordered several tapas as appetizers, and they were good. I ordered the Lamb Kafta Kabob with the Roasted Eggplant. I loved the Roasted eggplant, which I highly recommend. The lamb was very tender. I enjoyed. The yoghurt sauce served with the lamb is rich with paprika. I ordered the Lola Rose cocktail, and it was good. Then I ordered the Moscow Mule, which was terrific, but when others ordered, it was evident that the same bartender had not prepared their drinks. Their coffee cocktail was Amazing! Lola Rose is Beautifully decorated, the restaurant has low lights, and their music is a bit loud. Overall, it was a neat experience. We visited Lola Rose for a Girl's Night Out. The party coordinator requested a private area days in advance to ensure the 10 of us could have fun without being too noisy. From the moment we arrived, we asked several times for the curtains of our private area to be closed, but the staff did not close them. Then, when they finally did (after we had finished our dinner), the curtains were not fully closed, so I got up to close them; one of the staff seemed upset and made it clear to me that they had a business and we were being too loud. Once I fully closed the curtains, the waitress stated that the curtains had helped keep our noise down. At that time, I felt bad we had disturbed the restaurant, especially knowing it could have been avoided if the curtains had been closed all along. Based on our experience, Lola Rose may not be for group gatherings but definitely for date night.

Had the most disappointing meal for my husband's birthday. Started with the tuna which tasted old and dried out. The salads were wilted and hidden in sloppy dressing. The scallops were mushy and fishy...no where near seared. And the chicken...although dry and tasteless...was bloody at the bone. We didn't say anything as not to embarrass the guest we were with. So utterly disappointed. And the prices were outrageous for such poor food quality. I'm so sad because are period visit was outstanding. We still haven't found a restaurant in El Paso that hits it out of the park every time.

We had a reservation on Saturday to celebrate Valentine's Day a bit late and they said they didn't have our table because there was a system error. So disappointed.We had a drink at the bar but that ruined our plans.

My spouse and I went to Lola Rose for brunch, and we didn't have a reservation for but we were sat right away. The waiter was very friendly and attentive. My wife asked for a recommendation and he came through with La Almuerza and I ordered The Benedict's which came with roasted potatoes. The ambiance is very clean and inviting. We will be back to try lunch or dinner. The lobster pasta is calling my name!

We visited Lola Rose for our anniversary and it was absolutely perfect. The server recommended amazing drinks! Our appetizer was absolutely delicious, I am still thinking about the whipped ricotta. Our meals were large, I definitely would say their meals are shareable as they're really large portions. Lastly, their mango cheesecake was the perfect touch as we ended our evening. I highly recommend Lola Rose. Wonderful service, beautiful atmosphere, and not to mention the wonderful musician they had performing on Sunday.
