Go for stuffed-from-scratch empanadas, quick counter service, and horchata lattes; expect tight seating, occasional service hiccups, and prices a touch high for portions.
Cafe Tola #2 delivers exceptional empanada quality with generous fillings and consistent execution that keeps customers returning. Friendly, attentive counter service and a colorful, welcoming atmosphere create a cheerful casual experience. However, tight seating, modest space comfort, and an isolated food safety incident prevent grade A territory—this is a solid neighborhood favorite rather than a destination establishment.
One caveat: Space is tight; seating can be scarce at peak times
