Our Story
Lola's Beach Cantina was founded in 2022 by Alex Hernandez and his aunt, "Tia" Leticia Alonso. With family roots stemming from Degollado, Jalisco, Mexico, Alex and Leticia had a vision of bringing a modern, upscale Mexican restaurant to the up-and-coming Ocean View Community. Their goal was to introduce a unique dining experience by combining vibrant, modern decor with excellent, authentic family recipes, accompanied by handcrafted cocktails.
To help make their vision a reality, they solicited the help of Leticia's niece, Fabiola Sweis, who is an interior designer and the principal owner of Folklore Spaces based out of Phoenix, Arizona. Fabiola left no stone unturned, creating the vibrant, upscale interior that you see today as you enter the front doors.
Alex and Leticia then partnered up with Alex's brother, Mario Hernandez from Columbus, Ohio. Mario serves to your table over 20+ years of restaurant and bar experience, delivering those mouth-watering margaritas and cocktails that everyone loves.
The name "Lola" was chosen in honor of Alex and Mario's grandmother, and for Leticia, it was chosen in honor of her mother. But, for the Ocean View Community, it represents friends and family.
As an innovative Mexican restaurant, each dish is prepared to the highest standards with the freshest ingredients. From house-made salsas to hand-crafted cocktails, we believe that food brings family together, and it is our goal to bring the local community together one guest at a time.
