Cafe Tola #2

"Cafe Tola is a growing empanada chain with four locations in Chicago (including two near Wrigley Field), and The Bear gives us a brief look into the making of their tennis ball-sized wonders. Our favorites include the chicken mole and the birria, but their big burritos and tacos are also tasty. " - adrian kane, nick allen

"The incredible empanadas at this mini Mexican chain are chunky (each one is tennis ball-sized), flaky, and there are over 20 filling options. Grab one for the road or make a meal out of a few while sitting on a colorful retro barstool. Some of our favorite pastry pockets are the chicken mole full of tender meat covered in a sweet and smoky mole, and the birria loaded with juicy goat and cheese. Prefer tortillas over pastry dough? Their tacos and burritos are equally tasty, too." - john ringor, adrian kane
