Oaxaca cheese, caramelized onions, anaheim peppers, on flour tortillas. $9
Lolo, San Francisco CA
These were pretty tasty and unique. I loved all the different flavors, and the deep fried avocado had a nice firm texture. I kinda wish this was a meat taco though with the avocado as an additional topping. I’m definitely now a vegetarian, lol.

Chips and salsa. Complimentary
With basil and arugula sauce and pine nuts. $14
Lolo, San Francisco CA
This was very different and I thought it was yummy. The huitlacoche was bitter and I’m not sure it’s a flavor for everyone, but I liked it. I always enjoy trying new things!
Blue corn masa, avocado puree and habanero crema. $11
Lolo, San Francisco CA
These were very cool and different. I thought that the squid ink in the sope was too overpowering though. I like squid ink, but they must have added A LOT of it into the masa. Otherwise, I thought it was a fun dish.
Lagunitas IPA. $6
Sangria: pinot noir, vodka, poppy liqueur, cardamom, served on the rocks. $11
With tomato, red cabbage, and chipotle sauce. $8
Lolo, San Francisco CA
As much as I disliked my dining experience, I did like these empanadas. They were nicely fried and the texture was great. The oxtail had great flavor and the chipotle sauce was tasty. Overall, this place needs to greatly improve on service and timing! And lay off on the sauce, man!
Alice in Wonderland graffiti mural, Mission Street. This artwork was pretty cute. They painted it on a door and it depicts Alice approaching a tiny door with a key.
Blue corn masa pockets filled with braised short ribs, roasted three chile sauce, avocado, and pickled onions. $12
Lolo, San Francisco CA
This was about the time during our meal when they still wanted to put more food down at our table, but there was absolutely no space! I don’t want to shove food down my throat just to make room, jerks – RUDE!
Oxalis crassipes ‘Alba’ (Oxalidaceae), 18th Street. Beautiful cascading oxalis with white flowers in The Castro.
Chili flakes, sea salt and cascabel aioli. $12
Lolo, San Francisco CA
All of these dishes were preassembled because everything came out suspiciously quick for a super busy restaurant! And I mean quick! I don’t mind getting my food quickly, but I still want to feel like they’re cooking back there and that I’m not being rushed out of my table! Sheesh! The octopus in this dish was a little chewy. I’d let you know what it tasted like but there was SO much crap on top of it that you really couldn’t taste the octopus at all.
Dolores Park, The Mission. I love the newly rennovated playground area in this beautiful park!
With organic blue corn tortilla, roasted tomatillo sauce, guacamole, pickled onions. $14
Lolo, San Francisco CA
The carnitas had a good flavor, but the blue corn tortillas were super dry and thick and there was WAY too much sauce on top. The menu said it was a “roasted tomatillo sauce”, but I think they switched it out to some kind of red pepper sauce instead. It seemed like they brought out all the tapas at once which was ridiculous since the tables were SO frickin’ tiny! Argh!
Graffiti mural with shark, 15th Street. I love the vibrant colors in this. The sharlk and the turtle are nice additions, lol.
Calatayud, Spain. Red wine, berries, leather, anise. Glass $8
Lolo, San Francisco CA
This dinner started off well with the wine (it tasted pretty good), but quickly went downhill from there. The service was sporadic and the timing was WAY off!
Pink flowered succulent (Echeveria sp., Crassulaceae), Dolores Street. My neighbor has a simple planter filled with beautiful succulents and other drought tolerant plants. Love the color of this one!
