Dolores, But You Can Call Me Lolita's Desserts as Yummy as Cheap and Sweet Can Be

Churros

​Lolita, modestly priced restaurant, you tease my tongue. Your eggplant timbales and Chilean sea bass were great, and your dessert even better. Lo-lee-ta, you're sweet.

My attraction to Dolores, But You Can Call Me Lolita's desserts began with a coy glance at the simple menu and alluring price. Each is just $2.50. There are four choices. Tiramisu. Churros with cinnamon ice cream. Chocolate flan. Dulce de leche.

Chocolate flan

​One by one, they were delivered with dollops of whipped cream and ripe cherries: it was perhaps a, sin to destroy such beauty with a spoon. The churros were light and crispy - about four inches long,as round as a cigarette,and dusted with just enough sugar. They were served alongside a scoop of tasty cinnamon ice cream.

The chocolate flan was the favorite with its smooth, creamy texture and unique taste. It was served with just enough chocolate sauce on top not to drown it. Better yet, it is also available in guava.

Dulce de leche

​The caramel kiss dulce de leche had a smooth, fluffy peanut butter-like consistency that wasn't overly sweet. The whipped cream was especially vital for balance with this dessert.

I love you, Lolita. Love you. Consumed with $3.50 cappuccinos, dessert at Lolita's is nothing short of ecstasy.
