She was so popular in the Soviet Union, that many newborn girls were named 'Lolita' after her tour there in 1963.[3] In 2002 she was honored as "Ciudadano Ilustre de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires" ("Illustrious Citizen of the City of Buenos Aires").[4]
The Plaza Lolita Torres in her birthplace of Avellaneda is named for her.[5]
