I absolutely love Lola.
The sangria, both red and white, are absolutely fantastic. The happy hour deal of $20 pitchers is an absolute steal.
We always enjoy the daily special and the paella. My favorite daily special was the shrimp ceviche...it was so good we ordered two of them. My staple favorite is the chickpeas and spinach. A bit of kick in the spice arena really brings that dish together for me.
Desert is a must. The thres leches cake is absolutely fantastic. YOU MUST TRY IT.
Service is never a problem for us. I think the staff is fantastic. They are never hovering, which is pleasant...I hate being asked 20 times during the meal if everything is okay. If we ever need anything we just wave down any server we see walking by.
Its such a wonderful atmosphere for a date or getting together with friends. Just know that it is a community dining affair, you will be sharing a table with a few strangers. Its just the style of the place. Go with it, try something new.
