Lolita’s Mexican Cantina

The Verdict

Colourful, authentic and just the kind of happy place we want in our lives right now, Lolita’s Mexican Cantina is the new Casuarina restaurant you need to know about. 

With rustic walls, jade, lime and lemon tiled tables scattered throughout, filigree cast iron features and mandarin barn doors that swing open to a creative cactus garden, Lolita’s is inspired by the land of the fiesta and she won’t disappoint.

In the kitchen, the team engaged Mexican chef Armando Enriquez Icaza to work alongside renowned Executive Chef Matt Kemp, ensuring this Latin beauty will deliver the goods. Expect traditional Yucatan-inspired dishes, like a four cheese tostada with gold, fermented chilli and cricket salt—yep, we said crickets in salt.

Lolita’s will send your senses into overdrive; loud and proud, it’s a visual and taste explosion.
