Lola 55 East Village Celebrates First Anniversary Fiesta

It’s been one year since LOLA 55, San Diego’s fine casual Mexican restaurant, officially opened in East Village.

Chef Drew Bent’s menu, including elevated tacos and side dishes that feature complex flavors and culinary techniques inspired by travels through various regions of Mexico, has won the hearts of local foodies and critics, as well as earned the well-respected Bib Gourmand distinction from California’s Michelin Guide.
