Cafe Tola #4

This Cafe Tola # 4 is more crowded and disorganized than other locations. I ordered the same as always: Cafe con Leche y la Empanadas De Guava con Queso. The coffee was identical, but the empanada crust had a different consistency; it was not smooth or warm and had less guava. The service was attentive, and the prices were the same. I will return and try the other empanadas; Cafe Tola offers at least ten different empanadas to discover. I spent $9.66 for a medium coffee and one empanada, similar to Starbucks prices but less corporate, with better food and a more pleasant atmosphere. I am grateful we have more choices for morning coffee for Hispanic preferences. I lower the rating because the bathroom is used as storage, which could be acceptable if things were neat and organized. But it gives a wrong impression when you come in.

First time here and it was nice little place to enjoy some empanadas. We came in Saturday around 7pm. We ordered empanadas de birria and guava con queso. The guava was delicious the birria was ok because the cheese was nice and hot but the birria was super cold. Will definitely be back to try more.

The only thing I regret is not coming here sooner. Empanadas are so flavorful and so many varieties. Staff was kind and patient to help us pick the right empanadas. Definitely coming back

On a brutally hot 95 degree day, Cafe Tola managed to save me with delicious food. Food: I ended up stopping here after a long walk in the heat with some friends. I got the chicken salsa verde burrito with was exceptional and washed it down with a water and glass bottle Coke. Couldn't ask for anything more. Service: I only dealt with the cashier, but she was super nice and patient with me. Aesthetic: Wasn't a fan of the drink stock being in the middle of the floor, but it is a small place so it is understandable. I did like the vibe and it was a nice "quick-eats" spot.

I paid for my food and the man working tried to charge me for the meal again and I told him I paid and offered to show my banking info he said it was fine he saw I paid. When I got my food I continued to leave the restaurant and he chased me down the street screaming at me that I still didn’t pay for my food. I offered to show him my bank info once again and he refused screaming at me that I had to go back to the restaurant and pay him again. Once he realized I had already paid in full and received points from their rewards program he let me go stating it was my fault. Please do not dine here if you want anywhere near decent customer service. This was very intimidating and unprofessional behavior.

Nice spot with tons of empanadas and cold brews. Everything tastes fresh and savory. Some flavors are good, and others are nothing really remarkable inside an empanada. The cashier was friendly and explained some questions I had about the menu. I bought 2 empanadas + cold brew = almost $20

My personal favorite for empanadas in the city! Great spot for breakfast. They have several different amazing breakfast tortas, tacos and burritos. Tasty coffee and drinks! But the empanadas are the true stand out! Especially their birria one!! So damn good! This particular location is quite small! Most everyone takes out. However if you’d like there are two small tables inside and one outside. Great atmosphere all around!

Probably the best empanadas I've ever had in my life. Super friendly folks. Hours are 7am - 2am — don't listen to google's listing.
