Top Reviews of El Cholo

07/05/2025 - Christie R.
El Cholo has been a cornerstone of authentic Mexican flavors here in Los Angeles since 1923, offering everything from skinny margaritas with fresh chips and salsa to hearty enchiladas and chile rellenos. The ambiance-with its huge fireplace and nostalgic decor-creates a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes dining feel like a true celebration of tradition. Whether you're after generous portions like the crab taquitos or the Taste of History platter, the consistently friendly service and convenient nearby parking make it a reliable choice for locals craving classic Mexican fare.
