Getting around Los Angeles is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across California's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Old school LA Mexican at its finest. Good bar cool workers, some of the first Mexican Combination Plates to ever grace an American menu. Free chips. To me this and El compadre define old school sit-down Mexican in Los Angeles. Beans and rice are flavorful, recipes are old school, everything is good. You will not get a modern take on the taco here, and to me that's great. There's plenty of places for "elevated Mexican" so it's nice to go someplace hecka traditional.

I loved everything from the moment I was greeted walking in the door to my last bite! I have nothing but great things to say about El Cholo ✨️

Came in solo mid afternoon prior to Kings game. It's close to Residence Inn and the arena. I thought prices were a bit high. But quality of my margaritas and tacos were high. The salsa that came w the complimentary chips was kinda lame, but the chips came in handy scooping the rice and beans from my taco plate. Service was decent. Recommending the Al Carbon tacos.

My daughter and I tried this place and we were glad we did! The service was great! The atmosphere was great and the food and drinks were amazing! We ordered the LA Lemonade and the El Cholo Margarita both were really strong and taste delicious! I ordered the Chicken Chimichangas and my daughter ordered the Blue Corn Chicken Enchiladas. I’ve never had my Chimichanga cut in fours. That was a nice touch! We really enjoyed this place! I’ll definitely be back!……. Soon!❤️

We came here to escape the rain, and stumbled upon what feels like a hidden gem right next to LA live and the Pico train station. The food, atmosphere, service, and overall charm of this place was truly unmatched. So cozy, and full of heart. The food was well made, so flavorful, and just enough sauce! And if you get dessert, get the chocolate mousse cake!!
