El Cholo CafeQue viva El Cholo!We have loved El Cholo for many decades. Now, in Pasadena for the past decade, it's so convenient for us that we eat there all the more! The food, service, and spirit of the whole experience is wonderful!5/30/2013 12:00:00 AMAn LA ClassicEl Cholo has been in LA since the 1920's and the newest location in Pasadena saves the drive into LA and it is still the same great food and drinks. The guacamole made table side is a great way to start and the rest of the menu is sure to please. Enjoy!5/27/2013 12:00:00 AMA great night outWe used open table to book a moderate party to have dinner. More people came then expected and it was easy to relocate and expand our party. We enjoyed a night full of margaritas. The server was great, took care of everyone well. Took a lot of off the menu requests. The night was great. We will be back!5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMVery busy on a Saturday night,Very busy on a Saturday night, the staff remained cheerful and efficient.

Food was very good. I have once complaint: my to-go order was incorrect. There was no cheese on beans and rice, and one dish ordered was not in the sacks, when I returned home. Although I noted I had not bee pen vpcharged for this dish, it was a disappointment for my mother who had looked forward to it.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMMy brother says El Cholo isMy brother says El Cholo is one of his favorite spots!
