El Cholo: Reviews & Ratings
The staff greeted us and brought out chips and salsa immediately. We got nachos and soup to start, a round of margaritas, and then fajitas. Food was served sizzling hot and with everything you could need right in front of you. Best restaurant in the city hands down we adored this place!
Great food and friendly service. We really enjoyed the atmosphere. We sat near the fire and enjoyed our meal with friends. It is deceiving from the front. We didnt realize how far back the restaurant went. We will definitely be back and recommend.
Loved it. Old historical restaurant. Great service and food drinks all around. All employees were very attentive. We had a couple of margaritas, guamole made table side. I had the cheese enchiladas chili relleno. Sauce was excellent. Cant wait to go back soon.
Lively. Fun. Friendly. And the food is delicious too! Now, I understand why this restaurant is so popular. Everyone was ready to PARTAY! On a side note, I wish I had gone easy on the chips and salsa. I ate too many and was full before the food came out! Update chicken and beef fajitas for the WIN!
Ive eaten here three to four times and the food is excellent along with great customer service. ...
The service was excellent. Marta was wonderful I hope thats what your name was! And the food was hot and delicious. There was so much that I was able to take my fajitas home for two more meals! I definitely will pass this definite place on to my friends and family to enjoy.
This was my first time trying this place and the food was great!!! Will go again. I had Fajitas and brought them home and they even warm up great!!
A wonderful place to eat when at the convention center or the surrounding area. The food is fantastic. The restaurant is much larger than it appears. Its a beautiful piece of LA history too. Ive enjoyed dining here when I am in the area and those I bring with me enjoy it too. Its a hidden gem.
