"LA’s beloved Mexican restaurant El Cholo has had this standalone Downtown restaurant for years, just across from L.A. Live and Crypto.com. Expect heaping plates of chicken fajitas, blue corn tamales, and other combination plates that work great before games or concerts. Also great for chips, guac, and a margarita before heading to the arena." - Matthew Kang

"El Cholo is celebrating 100 years in Los Angeles. Los Angeles Times columnist Gustavo Arellano interviewed one of its most famous fans who happens to be Michelle Phillips, the former singer of the Mamas & the Papas. Phillips talks about her history with El Cholo." - Mona Holmes
"Of course I love El Cholo—that's what people always call me! You find locations all over the city. Their enchiladas are not as good as mine! But they're really, really good with two eggs over easy on top. You can kill breakfast and lunch at the same time."
"That same night, I joined friends for a birthday dinner at El Cholo, where the bartender shook my hand before taking my order." - Eater Staff
