We had a great night celebrating my wife's birthday. The restaurant has a lovely ambience, the food was very tasty, the food was great value for money and the staff were very friendly.
My only suggestion is that maybe there should be some cheaper bottles of wine options on the list to cater for younger/student guests.

Our visit was an excellent experience. The food was good and playful. We are located a very well priced Malbec and were presently surprised by the wine list. Service excellent, efficient and friendly. We definitely put it on our list of places to return to.

Some unexpected Flamenco!
Fun, but perhaps too long .
Pity that the only[?] good red is so expensive.

Booked a table to celebrate a birthday and it didn’t disappoint.
I hadn’t visited for a couple of years but nonetheless the food was excellent. The flavours in the dishes were great and we especially liked the chorizo in sherry sauce.
Looking forward to visiting again soon,

It was our first time at Lola Cochina, we ordered the boned chicken wings tapas. Sadly the chicken wings tasted very dry but the bed of fried potatoes under the chicken wings were very tasty. The seafood paella was average, I was hoping for better.

Food is ok, parramatta branch is better. Octopus is tender but so-so in taste. Seafood in paella is overcooked, rice is a bit soft without any crispy bottom.
