First time coming to this place. I've seen and heard about but haven't been there. Had a girls lunch date on a Sunday. It wasn't too busy which was surprising. We went all in and got the strawberry margarita tower. Very good. The waitress told us they put a whole bottle of patron which we were really shocked about lol. You get complementary chips and salsa and we also ordered guacamole. It was good. Entree wise, we all got fajitas. I ordered the shirt fajitas. So delicious. Would seriously go back just for they. Shrimps weren't small which was a plus.

It was good. My dining companion and I worked up an appetite walking around Gurnee Mills and stopped in for a quick nosh. We could have filled up on the chips and salsa, but wanted to try the tacos and an appetizer. We started out with the shrimp cocktail appetizer. I think there were eight fresh, medium shrimp bathing in a tomatoey soup. I enjoyed it. Dining companion was overwhelmed with the tomatoieness (if there is such an adjective). I tried a coconut tequila cocktail and it was good, but a bit on the small side for the price. Dining companion enjoyed the al pastor Taco. I enjoyed the steak taco and a pork taco. Brought home leftover chips to snack on later. We will be back.

The atmosphere is decorated cute and is clean. The food is very good. We enjoyed the burritos and chicken and steak fajitas. The chips and salsa were really yummy. We were immediately met at door and welcomed and seated. The waitress was quick with drinks and order. I will be back. Very good Tex- Mex.

Great and friendly service. Food served very fast and fresh but the food taste little bland. But the chip pretty flash salsa pretty good

Lola's Tacos and Tequila is a Mexican Restaurant in the Gurnee Mills outlet mall. I was a little biased about this restaurant at first, because it replaced Chicago Woodfire Pizza Co. (former restaurant before them) which was very good. Nevertheless, I decided to give Lola's a try. Upon entering, there's a ton of fun decor, and outside decorations and lights on the trees and in the vestibule as well. Our waitress was very friendly & gave us complimentary chips and salsa before our entrees came out. We had the Mexican Chopped Salad & the Sizzling Shrimp Diabla- both were very good. The Shrimp has a very nice kick to it, if you enjoy spicy food I think you'll really enjoy that meal. I didn't check Yelp! before coming, but I'm honestly surprised at the low ratings in the reviews (but I did not try any margaritas). The only thing I didn't like was the beans - it just didn't taste very fresh/hot when they came out while the other food did. Overall, I'd recommend stopping by at least once, good service and food and reasonably priced.
