I haven’t had La Lola’s Churros in a while. I’m glad I did so tonight, it was Php 120 well spent. The Nutella Xuxos was crisp and delicious. It had just the right balance of sweet Nutella and banana.
La Lola also added new products to their growing menu. Besides the churro sticks, they now have Choco Churros. Its bite-sized xuxos served in a variety of flavors.
Happy to have ordered during a Holiday last Independence day, for P121, got a 6-pc Classic Churros with medium Signature dip! Was expecting for more dip though but still love it anyway! Always loved the interior, there are a couple of tables too.
I always go for the Classicos, with dark chocolate as my dip. Eating just three pieces, I believe is enough, for anything beyond that could be overkill, as it is too oily, and can be too filling considering it's supposed to be eaten as a snack.
Oh my. At first, I thought La Lola was a churrascaria— Brazilian steakhouse upon glancing at the sign. Churros, with various flavors? Sign me up! I had no idea they fry them fresh to order, so it’ll take 5-7 min or more, depending on the number of orders ahead. Mom introduced plain, sugarless churros to me as a kid, with dark chocolate dip to sweeten it. That was a big change from common cinnamon sugar loaded churros from theme parks and Costco (USA version of S&R). I’ve always wanted a churro loop dipped in flavor of my choice, topping off a swirled cup of ice cream. While I didn’t get any ice cream (limited to chocolate and vanilla here anyway), I had them dip a loop in matcha. Subtle, bittersweet matcha on a fresh churro. Yum! I also ordered 3 piece of plain churros with dark choco dip. I wasn’t able to eat any for 30 min but they were still warm, deliciously crispy outside and soft chewy inside.
One small thing that bothered me is they didn’t ask if it was for here or take out. I had to ask them to bag my items after they presented it to me at the pick up counter. The buzzer they gave me wasn’t activated either. Other than that, staff was very patient with my questions. I was in a hurry to leave and 5-7 min was a bit long, but the churros were worth it! Also, they ran out of many flavors for the regular churros. Staff told me they’d have to make more and only had dark choco, white, and butterscotch available. Seems like the flavored ones are drenched in dip and heavily drizzled with more cream/frosting. Happy I got a matcha loop and regular with dark choco!

Today marks a very special day for me and my co- food blogger Dheng De Ocampo. 😁🤗😇
This is our first time to dine in at Churreria La Lola together and we made sure that it is going to be memorable.
She ordered her favorite and I ordered and tried their Caramel Macchiato.
It was incomparably perfect since I had a taste of other Macchiato competitors! High five.
The ambiance was all good since the brand and the uniqueness of the store captures everything.
We went here not on a peak hour and on a weekday. We did not encounter long waiting at all. But, normally we see long lines here during weekends! :)
We ordered flavored churros and even though I had colds, I was able to taste matcha- legit matcha. Thumbs up 🙂
Place was also pleasant and clean 🙂
Ambience
Branch is really tiny with limited seating. A few high chairs are available in front of the cash register. Tables are on the left side with two more outside.
Food
Clasicos with the Signature Dip always succeeds in satisfying my taste buds. This is definitely a sweet tooth treat! Six pieces can be finished by one hungry foodie but can be shared by 2 or 3.
Service
Transaction was fairly quick. Waiting time for churros was a bit long but very much worth the wait. I'm not satisfied with the parameters for Eatigo discount because you can't share; it's very strict. You also can't use the discount for the 3 pieces with dip, also known as Clasicos JR size. Which means, you'll pay for the churros PLUS the dip, but with discount.

Coffee after lunch yesterday was at la lola as per request by my sister. Churros is alays lovely and we stayed at their seats outside to get some warmth from the decemberish cold.
Churros here were made fresh as you can see it by the color of the churros; it’s a lighter color despite it being crunchy. The chocolate dip is also thicker than how the other locations make it.
Clasicos Junior, the perfect end to a filling meal ❤️💚
