Plucked from the chic Old South Pearl neighborhood and relocated to the gentrified Highlands, Lola draws a hip crowd and serves a stiff mojito. The menu features jarring yet exhilarating blends of Mexican, Caribbean, and American cuisine such as flatiron steak with chocolate-chipotle gravy, oyster tacos, and a lively Caesar salad laced with a garlic-serrano pepper dressing. Lola’s drink specials make for crowded happy hours, but food deals like Tamale Tuesdays certainly make the trip over the highway from LoDo worthwhile.
