Very casual, laid back, attentive service and a Corona, what could be better! Really great Mexican food, love the fish tacos and chicken fajitas. Not too expensive and try and sit outside on the patio, main road just outside but do you notice, He'll No! Definitely worth a trip.

The chips and salsa have no favor,The food is just okay, years ago would go there often but not anymore, only went because of a birthday party in no hurry to return

We were a group of four that had an early dinner at El Cholo back in March. We used to frequent this restaurant some 25 years ago, so it was nice to see that they were still in business and serving good food. We picked an outdoor spot which was fine. The waiter was pleasant and professional. We all enjoyed... More

I practically grew up here, and I've seen almost every single one of my birthdays here. The staff is super friendly, the food is authentic and very, very tasty. I highly recommend the freshly made guacamole you can get as an appetizer, they make it right there at your table just for you! Everything is fresh, prices are great, and... More

Okay, let's start with margaritas, it's only natural. We got the Cholo classic maggies for 7.75. They are in 16 oz tumblers and are very tasty. One is worth 3 of the El Torritos'. The food is fresh and delicious. I had the filet (mignon) tacos-tender and flavorful, like they were on the bbq grill. Black beans and good rice,... More

We ate here for the first time during a visit yesterday. It's apparently a long-time (opened in 1923) restaurant landmark in La Habra, and I can see why it's stood the test of time. The margaritas were tasty, and the food was very good. My wife had Taste of History sampler platter that had a taco, enchilada, chile relleno, and... More

The "LA lemonade" margarita is delicious! Salsa fresh and chips fresh, usually. Enchiladas great, filet mignon tacos also great. Speedy service and reaonable prices. Definitely a keeper.
