Absolutely some of the best paella we've ever tasted! Found this place on a fluke, after visiting NOLA for many times over the years. So sorry we didn't discover it sooner! We've traveled to Spain, and the paella at Lola's leaves the paella from Spain it its dust! Great cozy atmosphere, and awesome food. You can order different sizes of paellas, based on how many are in your party. Excellent service, and prices are very reasonable! Definitely make a reservation!

Everything about Lola's is exceptional! From the food, to the staff, to the warm and welcoming setting. Our dinners were delicious! The food taste so fresh and unique!  The cocktails were also to die for! Lola‘s has been a favorite restaurant of ours for years and we keep coming back!

We originally reguest inside but it was too cold for my party of 5. The team there went above and beyond to accommodate us and placed us outside on the alley way because the other outside seat were reserved.
