LOLA L-O-L-A LOLA

After church on Sunday, Dave and I decided to break in a gift certificate that we received for Christmas and have brunch at Lola, a place known for their bloody mary cart, mimosas, and unique menu infused with coastal mexican flavor. I need to start bringing out my camera like Michelle does for her food reviews because my description alone does not do this food any favors. We opted to start with Mango Mimosas and coffee, which comes to your table in a press pot along with a basket of handmade bite size donuts with honey to dip them in. I could have left happy at that point, but we pressed on. I ordered the huevos which was served on a homemade tortilla, with black beans, spicy potatoes, eggs, cheese and a warmed gourmet salsa. All of the flavors were spectacular. Dave got poached eggs, topped with hollaindaise, smoked salmon and anduille sausage. Let's just say that if our plates had pictures on them, you would have seen them when we were done. There was nothing left.

Next up, we plan on using the rest of the certificate at Jax's Fish House, one of my favorite restaurants in town and the best place for oysters.
