"Cafe Tola’s empanadas are a favorite at Chicago festivals; the chain also has four BYOB cafes spread across Avondale, Lakeview, and Logan Square. Mexican, Cuban, and American flavors inspire the 25 sweet and savory varieties including ropa vieja, birria, and apple pie. If the choices seem overwhelming, order online and play “empanada roulette” by letting an employee choose three meat or vegetarian varieties for a $2 discount." - Samantha Nelson, Ashok Selvam
