"Long Beach’s deep-rooted Lola’s Mexican Cuisine has two locations where diners can try chef Luis Navarro’s menu. Classics like queso fundido, tostadas, and Baja fish tacos are only the beginning. The bacon-wrapped cuetes, aka bacon-wrapped jalapeño, are fantastic apps to share, but so are the octopus and shrimp quesadilla, birria queso enchiladas, and mahi mahi with mole verde." - Mona Holmes, Brian Addison
