Exposed brick walls, a bright open kitchen, and just-right lighting set the mood at Lolita, a popular BYOB owned by Valerie Safran and Chef Marcie Turney.

There is a high level of quality and savory flavor in each and every contemporary Mexican dish—from the grilled sugarcane-morita marinated pork chop to the shitake and lancaster jack cheese enchiladas.

The Fundido Con Rajas—homemade tortillas served with a generous portion of melted oaxaca and chihuahua cheeses, roasted poblano, smoked brandied chorizo, and mexican oregano for dipping—is a delicious but filling appetizer meant to be shared.

Bring wine or bring your own tequila to mix with their homemade fresh margarita mix in flavors including original, watermelon, and mint.
