El Cholo

$-$$, Mexican, Hollywood


Fodor's Review:

The first of what's now a small chain, this landmark south of Hollywood has been packing them in since the '20s. A hand-painted adobe ceiling and an outdoor patio with a fountain create a partylike atmosphere, which the bar's legendary margaritas can only enhance. The fare includes all kinds of Cal-Mex standards, including tacos, chicken enchiladas, carnitas (shredded fried pork), and, from July through October, their famous green-corn tamales.
