El Cholo Cantina Description:
El Cholo is a true institution in Los Angeles, founded by the Borquez family in the 1920s. This location near the Irvine Spectrum has a comfortable décor, thankfully, more south-of-the-border class than Mexican kitsch. El Cholo is known for its strong margaritas, so remember to try one out, along with the never-ending chips and salsa. The "grand tradicional" margarita, as strong as it is, even comes with an extra shot of tequila on the side. The family-friendly place is also known for its green corn tamales, which are only available May through October. Some come for the tasty blue corn enchiladas, combination platters or sizzling fajitas. Vegetarians go ga-ga over Annie's "early California" enchilada with its grilled fresh vegetables, sautéed mushrooms and jack cheese surrounded by a white corn sauce and tomato salsa.
