I used to enjoy picking up deliveries from this store parking was simple and the staff inside were always great. But lately the valet team has completely ruined the experience. They’re unbelievably rude, disrespectful, and act like they’re doing you a favor just by standing there. They don’t communicate anything, and their attitude is downright unacceptable. Management seriously needs to step in, because the store itself is good, but the valet team is out of control.

The food was yummy, for me having yummy salsa. You got me coming back. We sat near the bar. The bartender was so kind caring and offered all of us great service. I loved how the menu was not huge. Just full of perfect mexican dishes. When you make beans yummy come on. 🤗🥰 I recommend trying this resturant or stop and have a drink. 👍

The food was ok. Had to have the wait staff track my server for me a few times. However I cant be mad since the price was decent.

Although this is a lovely place for happy hour, and the ambience is great! unfortunately the food quality it’s not quite what it used to be. The food prices have been steeply increased without adding an actual value to what is brought to the table. As far as quality goes, it is not up to pair up to some local Mexican eateries in the area and it certainly does not merit such high prices. One of their better dishes, beef fajitas, do not live up to expectations in both taste and portion size of it’s $28 price tag. Not to mention a $10 valet parking charge.

Old school ambience, impeccable service. The place is spotless. Forgot to take a pic of my meal, the #2. The chile rellenos were light and fluffy,and the enchiladas were flavorful. Great salsa!

Went here to eat after my son's Mariachi performance at SAMO HS. Just happened to be game 6 of World Series. So we had a blast watching the game and eating delicious Mexican foods!
Some good mexican food since 1928 on Santa Monica. The ambiance is great, service is great and I had chimichanga and enchiladas which were delicious and good in quantity. Would definitely go again.

With its kid-friendly and fun atmosphere, we absolutely loved this place. Our table was ready when we arrived, the food was yummy, server was attentive, and it wasn’t overpriced. I had chicken fajitas and they were delicious!! Kids also loved the tacos and chicken dinos for my picky little one! Will definitely go back.

El Cholo was poppin' the night I stopped by, and for good reason. The food is absolutely delicious. I had the carnitas, and it was truly the best carnitas I've ever had. I also REALLY liked the chips and salsa. We had a giant group and they were easily able to accommodate our group (which was probably 15-20 people). Considering how packed the restaurant was, the food came out so quickly. The service was good and there wasn't one single error with our bazillions of orders. I was very impressed. If you're looking for some delicious carnitas, go to El Cholo.
