El Cholo truly has the best margaritas in all of Los Angeles. Trust me, I have tried them all. Rebecca's of Santa Monica runs a close second, but El Cholo is the one.

Great food   by James73146
This isn't your normal Mexican Resaurant, this is more southwest U.S. A lot of pride goes into the building and the food.

There is nothing healthy about this place but it really is fun. I like the nachos and margaritas. The tamales (in season) are good too. Pros: nachos, margaritas

I've tried El Cholo's about 4 times now, and I really don't understand the hype that this restaurant has. It's just a bit better than El Torito's and that's not saying much about authentic Mexican... More
