"Lola’s Mexican Cuisine has a loyal Long Beach following with deep roots in the community. Try to get a patio table at the Fourth Street location, or in the equally stunning Bixby Knolls space. Chef Luis Navarro prepares classics like queso fundido, tostadas, and street tacos alongside signature moles like the mahi mahi with mole verde. For brunch, Lola’s pasilla chile chilaquiles emit a slight smokiness to the layers of beans, crema, queso fresco, and eggs." - Rebecca Roland
