El Cholo has been a godsend for those living in Pasadena area. The bartender, Ben, will make amazing doubles for you. The fresh fruit blended margs are excellent and they have a great selection of tequilas. Relaxed atmosphere, I take my mom here just as easily as a group of friends or a date.
Pros: relaxed, festive, fun
Cons: service can be slow, small bar area, parking valet only
