Watch Lolita on the Food Network! 7/26 @ 9pm

On Monday night the Lolita Mexican Tiramisu will be one of the dishes featured on the popular Food Network Series The Best Thing I Ever Ate.

We've had this dessert on our menu since we opened almost 7 years ago! The combination of Mexican canela, Kahlua and mexican coffee makes it irresistable.

We'll be tuning in on Monday at 9pm to see what Chef Robert Irvine has to say about it.

See it again August 1st @ 2pm!
