About

Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar has been serving modern Mexican-inspired food and cocktails in Boston since 2010, and its Back Bay room at 271 Dartmouth Street is designed to blur the line between bar, restaurant and late night. The look does much of the work: dim rooms the owners describe as gothic, with hand-painted wall murals, vintage wrought iron and Mexican calaveras, plus tucked-away nooks for a quieter corner of the room.

It suits a group dinner that runs into a second round, a birthday, or a margarita and guacamole after a day in Back Bay. The bar keeps going well after the kitchen's dinner service, until 1 a.m. most nights and 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Lolita has a second location in Fort Point; both belong to COJE Management Group, the Boston group behind Yvonne's and Coquette.

Margaritas and cocktails

Margaritas come by the glass or the pitcher. The house Lolita mixes blanco tequila with orange liqueur, lime and grapefruit, and the list runs from a spicy cucumber version to a Mezcalita with passion fruit. Beyond margaritas there are mezcal and gin cocktails, a strawberry-coconut mojito and an espresso martini made with blanco tequila and Abuelita chocolate, along with red and rosé sangria, Mexican beers and Jarritos sodas.

What the kitchen sends out

The restaurant says its menu gives traditional Mexican food a twist, with nods to Boston's own cooking. The clearest nods are the lobster: a guacamole topped with Maine lobster and a warm lobster roll with corn esquites and morita chili. Tacos come two to an order on house-made flour tortillas, and there are quesadillas, loaded nachitos and rice bowls. Weekday lunch and a weekend brunch fill the daytime.

Planning a visit

Reservations are for guests coming for full dinner service, and the whole party must be present to be seated. Larger parties are handled as group dining through COJE's events team, which also books the private dining spaces. Card requirements and the no-show fee are set out in the FAQ below. Expect to show ID when ordering alcohol.
