well, im just wondering how this place made it to the top 10 MEXICAN FOOD RESTAURANTS. This place is only good for drinks, nothing else. so this place should be under 10 best places to drink. the food is tasteless, overpriced. Pros: nice environment, good drinks Cons: food, parking, expensive

The food was wonderful but everytime I've gone, whether in a large or small group, the service has been lousy. One time, the waiter went around the whole table askin for drink orders and then skipped my husband & myself! And despite the wonderful food, the prices don't necessarily match the quality.

MAN!! we went here for a birthday party for my mother, only to be extremely disappointed. there were 15 of us, and we got one little thing of chips and salsa...which came before the water i might mention. we then waited for FORTY minutes for our water. the waiter kept coming out of the kitchen and looking at our table...all the while ignoring the waves and calls, only to walk away. tho the party of 20 next to us who came after us had already gotten water, drinks from the bar and appetizers. it took going to the mgr to get help. and last of all to really ruin it, they forgot to sing happy b'day to my mother, completely ruining the whole experience alltogether. i wouldnt go here again if i was drugged, beaten, tied up and dgragged in.

i had a very bad experience here about a year ago..and decided to give it another chance. boy was that stupid! once again the service was lousy, i sat for 20 mins with no water, and the waiter and bus boys walked past atleast 5 times ignoring my calls. the salsa was good, but the chips had an odd, stale-recooked flavor. by the end of the meal i was nauseaus and couldnt wait to leave. next time i'll stick to my 1st experiences...this is not authentic mexican food at any level...the only thing authentic about it are the names. i'd rather eat at taco bell...blah.

don't expect your mouth to be wowed. i dont remember what i ate but that means it couldnt have been bad. if you want filling mexican food in a dimly lit homestyle restaurant, check out el cholo. the menu is pretty standard and service is alright. the bar is a plus~ yummy margaritas. Pros: variety in menu, mood/dim lights, bar (alcohol) Cons: parking

It is hard to understand what Anna Kevorkian is saying any more. El Cholo is more than a mexican restaurant, is a dinner destination. Perhaps Ms. Kevorkian is a bit jaded, but for all good hearted people El Cholo serves up outstanding food in a fun atmosphere.

Food is better than average, but rates no higher that 6/10 to 7/10. Prices are reasonable. A good neighborhood resturant with a slightly better reputaion than it deserves
