The albobdligas soup is a great appetizer ! Some of the best dishes are their enchiladas because there are so many to choose from, my favorite ones are the Santa Barbara enchiladas .
Est. 1923 still as a native to Los Angeles one of my favorite Mexican restaurants . Bonus they have a Fiesta Hour serving up an awesome cheese quesadilla !
The steak and shrimp fajitas are amazingly delicious here, served with veggies , refried beans , sour cream , cheese and guacamole .????
Offbeat L.A. tip: true vintage Los Angeles. Opened in 1927 it is one of the oldest restaurants in town and the oldest Mexican restaurant in L.A.
El Cholo! Enjoy your time in Carmen's Cantina homes! It gets packed in the evening time aye ????????????????????????????
Ask to be seated at the famous nacho table . They say it's the worst seat in the house (near the kitchen), but you get a free plate of nachos . The whole place is loud ! So worth it!
"Carmen's Original Nachos (1959)" and "Sonora Style Nachos (1983)" with the added bonus of beans and guacamole .
Special Reposado Margarita is perfect for Linner libation. And don’t pass up their enchilada sauce !
The massive history plate! Fresh guacamole made to order tableside.
You gotta try the Sonora Style Nachos and add chicken to them. Amazinggly cheesy!! Oh forgot to mention the El Cholo Margaritas . Go for them!
The street tacos , chicken chimichanga & la lemonade are my faves!
Margaritas , nachos , green corn tamales when it's warm. An L.A. institution, for good reason.
I am a fajitas Person. Shrimp or steak . Guac , sour cream etc. Love it.
I chose the Tres tacos al carbon and was not disappointed. Very large portion sizes.
The blue corn tamales are to die for and just the right amount of sweet.
It's a classic LA establishment. Enchiladas , margaritas . The Taste of History.
Ask for the spicy salsa for a kicked up version of the house stuff! ????
The original El Cholo...although there are newer establishments....this one has my heart.
The pork carnitas are awesome! Very generous portions and lots of gluten-free options too.

ry the carnitas with nopales (a rare find in L.A.!) and the popular hard shell potato and cheese, one of several vegetarian options. Be sure to check the taco of the month as well! - LA Weekly
Bean and cheese burrito is tasty (if not life-changing) and can feed two. - Carolina Miranda
One of my favorite concert venues I have been to. The interior is stunning and elegant. There also was security so I felt safe. Only downside is even a PBR was $15! - Michael Morgan
$17.99 all you can eat with 14 different types of meat. The pancake is delicious and you get to eat with the music blasting and the sports games playing. - Michele
The cheesecake factory is amazing! Such a lot of choice on their menu! - Régis Chan-Haumani
