This BYOT ("T" for tequila) earns high praise for its innovative Mexican fare and even higher praise for its imaginative margarita mixes. It's Mexican in Midtown, and it does't disappoint. With a terrific street-food-inspired menu, Lolita's menu choices includes options like seared cauliflower tacos, grilled octopus tostadas, duck-fat tamales, braised short rib chilaquiles and carne asada. At the bar, feel free to order a cocktail that's a step above and Mexican themed, like a cucumber jalapeño margarita or an el pelirrojo margarita. Other choices include tequila, tamarind sour, or mezcal. There's also a lunch and late-night menu, and there are plenty of gluten free options for those who need them.
