" I stopped by Cafe Tola and excitedly ordered the empanadas after hearing so much about them. I tried the guava and cheese - oh boy, it was sweet and comforting! However, I wish I had tried more varieties. The service was cheerful, making the visit pleasant on a rainy day. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" It's a small place but perfect for empanadas! I had the spinach feta one, and it blew me away, plus it’s vegetarian! The staff were warm and made me feel welcomed. I’ll definitely come back to try more of their drinks and empanadas! " (*Curated Review*)

" The empanadas at this place are simply unparalleled! I swear they're made with love! The flavors are so authentic that I feel transported back to my childhood in South America. There's nowhere like it in Chicago. Grab them while they last! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoyed the empanadas here - they have a wide selection and I appreciate that they use high-quality ingredients. I particularly enjoyed the rajas and cheese empanada. The only downside was the seating arrangement; it was quite limited. Perfect for takeout, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" This cafe really knows how to nail the flavors in their empanadas! I had the goat cheese and plantain one, and it was artfully balanced and sweet. Will come again when I’m in town for sure. The staff were super friendly and helpful too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a combo of three empanadas to go, and they were delicious. I couldn’t choose a favorite—they were all exceptional! If you’re looking for fresh, flavorful options, Cafe Tola should be on your list. I also enjoyed the iced horchata latte; it was wonderfully sweet. " (*Curated Review*)
