You become pretty critical of Spanish tapas restaurants after your tastebuds have been blessed with the amazingness that is Encasa. I hardly ever stray from this path because I’m so madly in love, but you never know if there’s something better out there if you just don’t try! Solid effort on Lola Cocina’s part – they even have some deals running to make the whole package that much better. If you’re looking to save a few $$$ you can go in on Tuesdays for 50% off food, or if you want free rein over their tapas for $30, then Wednesdays or Thursdays are the days to go.
Turns out the all you can eat tapas menu does not include everything from their normal menu, but you are still left with plenty...
All you can eat Tapas for $29! This was the special for the night but a la carte was still available. As we had booked we were offered the first round of house beer or wine for free! The Tapas menu came in the smallest font possible that needs to be fixed because it was simply unreadable. At times, we needed to refer to the main menu to see the description. What was dissapointing was that there were several favourites missing from the Tapas being the garlic prawns, pork belly and the lamb straps.
Most of the tapas were cooked well except the meat balls which were a bit dry. The standout dishes were the octypus, the chicken skewers, chicken meatballs with cream sauce and field mushroom...

$30 unlimited tapas when the 4 of us went and we definitely gave a good crack at trying to eat our money's worth of patatas! By the end of the night we were so patated out I wasn't even able to order dessert. Much shame and disappointment ensued...
General consensus for favourites of the night were calamari, mushrooms (though one batch arrived without the white wine being completely cooked off), mussels and bbq octopus. Service was polite and quite efficient and a complimentary drink was provided on arrival. Nice little venue for a quiet night with full bar service. Anna Howardwashere Al
All you can eat tapas for $30? Not a bad deal esp with single beer or house red/white thrown in, except that they excluded a few items from their normal tapas menu, most notably prawns, to create this $30 special. Still we were spoilt for choice as there are more than 15 items to sink our teeth into. Mussels, octopus, chorizo, cod croquette, field mushroom, chicken meatballs, calamari recommended.
Service was prompt and quite attentive, food didnt take that long to be served.

Just got home after my nephew's graduation dinner at Lola with the family-am a local:
-The beef was absolutely my favourite-grass fed tender goodness cooked to perfection!;
-Tapas portions a little bit over-wanted to try more dishes;
-Thinner churros please-more 'crunchy';
-Could tell everything was from 'scratch'; and
-Floor staff rocked!
Aweful experience.
We ordered the groupon deal and the white wine and we were given the nastiest cask wine of life. Which tasted more like a bad iced tea.
The beer was tiny.
Only one tapas could be ordered at a time and another couldnt be ordered until its finished.

I just loved the food!
I went at Lola Cocina and I felt close to Spain. Nice music and lovely environment.
The paella was delicious!
Definitely I will go back soon!
The food was excellent and the service provided was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed some shared plates that were very delicious!
