| Rags_attack's Full Review: El Cholo |
Recently while I was home for spring break, my friends and I were in Santa Monica shopping and we had a huge craving for Mexican food. Being on the West Coast, we figured it would be an excellent opportunity to have some, because here in Boston, there is no good, non-fast food Mexican food to be found. My cousins, who live in Santa Monica told me about El Cholo. They said it was probably one of the best in Los Angeles so we decided to try it.
We got there relatively late around 930 or so, and although it was crowded, we did not have to wait long at all. Parking was not a problem because there was vallet. And once we got inside and gave the hostess our name, we were seated in less then 10 minutes. First, I really liked the atmosphere. It had a very authentic spanish ambience, and it was a very fun, lively environment.
Second,once I received the menu, I noticed that it wasnt very large. There weren't too many choices to choose from. But it still had all your classics like enchiladas, burritos, and fajitas. The prices were very reasonable as well. Considering it was one of the really nice restaurants in the Los Angeles/Santa Monica Area, I thought the prices would be much higher, but they weren't. They were very reasonable.
I ordered the cheese enchiladas, and thought they were very well made. They were very tasty, and they came in a good portion. Even my friends' orders came in very large portions. If you are like me who likes to take leftovers home, then there was plenty to take home, but not too much that you were full just looking at the plate.
Overall, I would give this restaurant a very good rating. The service was fast and friendly. The food was tasty and worth the price. And the atmosphere is energetic, fun, and posh.
