El Cholo has been around for years and with so much competition, it is not hard to figure out why it is still one of the best in L.A. I love its select menu, but the Margaritas are the bomb! I... More

Mexican food traditions with an LA Twist   by Citysearch User 2 years ago
The food at El Chollo is awesome. It's an old school authentic look with the staff dressed accordingly. Noisy and fun. The Margaritas are signature and the bar area is usually happening during... More

Breaking all the foodie rules... and loving every minute   by DianaTakesaBite 10 days ago

The Original   by Citysearch User 1 year ago
I have been going here for over 40 years. The menu has changed little. The courtyard atmosphere is great as is the food. In a busy area - plenty of parking available.
