I’ve been to El Cholo twice – once on a date, and once for after work drinks with a big crowd.

What I remember about the date experience was that he and I ordered an appetizer platter that was do dang ginormous that he and I didn’t even bother ordering a second course. I mean, it was HUGE.

The menu here is huge, with a blend of taco-stand favorites and more obscure (but delish) oddities.

The atmosphere is fun and festive without being too pretentious or “wannabe.”

Bottom line: Fantastico!

if you want to down tasty margaritas with your equally tasty mexican food in a Spanish hacienda-style restaurant, then head on over to el cholo. there’s nothing boring about this place. and if you’re lucky enough to be seated at the ‘nacho table’, i’m told you get an endless supply of them during your meal!
