I had dinner tonight at El Cholo, a restaurant in LA that serves Mexican food. It was one of many recommendations when I asked you for places to eat/see while in LA.
Matt said that the mexican food at El Cholo was delicious and I was craving good mexican food so I gave it a try tonight.
This was maybe the best mexican I’ve ever had (comes very close to old town San Diego).
Check out the story behind this restaurant:
- Opens in 1923
- Starts serving a dish called “nachos” in 1959
- 1967 becomes the world’s largest user of Cuervo Tequila
Highly recommended. Thanks for the tip Matt.

Adam Elend added these pithy words on Jun 06 06 at 3:29 pmI hope you went to the one on Western… a tip for next time - order the Santa Barbara Enchiladas. Chicken and shrimp enchiladas in a red sauce. It’s not on the menu, and it’s delicious.

Adam Elend added these pithy words on Jun 08 06 at 5:04 amI lived in LA for three years - pretty close to El Cholo, and I made it a regular habit. For fun, casual Italian, I recommend C&O’s Trattoria on Washington down in Marina Del Ray. It’s patio dining - They have house wine in Ice Tea dispensers and everyone in the restaurant sings “That’s Amore” every half hour or so. And the food is great!
