In addition to the rich, mouth-coating etoufee, shrimp po boys, and gumbo (Fridays are "All You Can Eat Gumbo" days), one of the biggest reasons to visit Lola's is Lola herself, a sweet Louisiana lady who started her restaurant with $500. A tiny space with communal seating, this is truly a kitschy, colorful institution whose Cajun food and generous owner (Lola feeds the homeless each Sunday in the cafe's backyard, free of charge) create instant fans.
