Casa Lola was great. I went early on a Friday night. My server was sweet and attentive. They start you with a comp bowl of chicharrones. I had the chile rellenos and a coconut margarita. Delicious! Mariachis came later in the evening and played beautifully. I wish I could have stayed longer. Vibes immaculate.

Another great and fun dining spot in the downtown Sac area! We came in for an early Friday night dinner and are glad we did. They are located on a corner with great building art and colors you can’t miss them. Some tables are available for dining al fresco when the weather is good. The interior is awesome with high ceilings, lots of decor to catch your eyes, and exciting upbeat music to fill your senses. The service was excellent from start to finish on this night. They have a good sized menu of traditional and more unique offerings. The restaurant filled up quickly after we were seated, and the sound level also increased which made it a little difficult to talk. Our meals were excellent for both of us. I do have to note that they charge $4.95 (as of this review) for chips and salsa. The chips are light, and the red and green salsas very good. We split one of the dinner salads and it was plenty big for both of us. The enchiladas mole had a mole that was deep and rich in flavor. Not gritty or muddy. The fajitas were perfectly prepared, and very good. The only criticism would be the excessive amount of grilled veggies that come with this dish. It was just too much veggie food compared with the protein that comes with it, which was plenty.
In the early evening, there is a great mariachi group that roams the floor playing upbeat tunes which made the patrons happy. With the great food, service and overall experience we will definitely be coming back.
