About El Cholo

El Cholo is a popular Mexican restaurant in DTLA, offering a wide range of delicious dishes. The restaurant is known for its fantastic food, including fresh guacamole prepared at the table, spicy shrimp specials, seafood fajitas, enchiladas, and taquitos. The Mango margarita is a must-try, and the restaurant offers a fun atmosphere with a large dining area. While parking can be a challenge, with limited street parking and a $20 parking fee in an adjacent lot, the restaurant is within walking distance of the Arena. The interior maintains an old-school style, creating a cozy and comfortable environment. The service is generally quick and friendly, with staff going above and beyond, such as helping with online orders. Customers often enjoy free hot homemade chips and salsa, as well as delicious tamales and chile relleno at good prices. The food, including enchiladas and other dishes, is often cooked to perfection and generously filled. Despite some reviews mentioning flavorless fish tacos, the overall experience at El Cholo remains positive, making it a solid choice for Mexican cuisine in the area.
