El Cholo Café Pasadena is a longstanding institution serving classic Mexican dishes in generous portions at great prices. Their margaritas are a highlight, and the tableside guacamole is always delicious. While the service can be inconsistent, the wait staff are generally attentive. Customers recommend trying the Fiesta Platter and exploring the unique menu offerings, though they note some inconsistencies in the food quality. The restaurant maintains the same feel as the original location on Western, even in its Pasadena mall setting. The classic dishes, like the Sonoran Enchilada, have been on the menu since 1923, while newer items like Chicken Mole Enchiladas have been added more recently. The margaritas and tableside guacamole remain customer favorites.
