El Cholo Description:
El Cholo has been around since 1927 and it's still great fun. Many customers---legions of U.S.C. students among them---come here for the incredible margaritas (the restaurant serves over 1,000 a day and is the world's largest consumer of Cuervo 1800 tequila). But the always-festive atmosphere is also a draw, as is the reasonably good food, although it may not live up to the quality of those legendary margaritas. Favorites include chicken breast in flour tortillas with guacamole and zucchini, salsa verde crab enchiladas, Sonora-style enchilada topped with a fried egg, and the kitchen's famous homemade green corn tamales from June to September. Also located at 1025 Wilshire Blvd., Santa Monica, 310-899-1106; and 958 S. Fair Oaks Ave., Pasadena, 626-441-4353.
