Lola's Mexican Cuisine: A New Look for Mexican Food.

 

          For quite a while I would drive down Fourth Street in the art district of Long Beach and I would pass this bright neon sign that simply read "Lola's". Not knowing what it was or what kind of food they served I would continuously drive by, afraid to stop and try it out. One day, a friend of mine named Lorri, challenged me to give it a try. She just started working there and mentioned that it was a delicious Mexican food place and I had to try it. One look at the menu and I realized it wasnt just your typical Mexican food joint; they had traditional Mexican food with more modern style and Touches. Lorri, who I have worked with in the past, was my server and something seemed different about her. She had a genuine enjoyment for her job and truly seemed like she was excited about the food they were serving there. She said, "The food here is always freshly made from scratch and delicious, unlike any other restaurant I have ever worked for."

My friend Anthony and I started with the Cuetas, which are basically bacon wrapped jalapenos stuffed with cheese (anything bacon wrapped has to be good.) for the Main course, I went with another appetizer, the Homemade Sopes and man they were delicious, fresh and filling. Anthony had the Green salad with Chicken because he was dieting, but he enjoyed it.
