I had an amazing birthday dinner at Lala! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced, making it a great value for the experience. Our server, Fabian, was fantastic—super knowledgeable and gave excellent recommendations that we loved. The attention to detail really stood out, like the small table they provided for our handbags, which was such a thoughtful touch. The decor and vibe were spot on, creating the perfect atmosphere for a special night. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Menu has changed, descriptions are not according to what the dish had. The barriguitas caramelle had nuts and bluecheese. Many people do not like or may be allergic.

Greetings Natalie, Our new menu item, Barriguitas Caramelle, do not contain any nuts. It indeed has Blue Cheese crumbled and caramelized Pumpkin Seeds. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, this will not be taken lightly as we want to ensure every guest has a memorable experience at lala. Thanks, André
