Still Creating MEmories

For Now 100 years

"I was first introduced to El Cholo by Jack Nicholson in 1969. He told me stories about how struggling actors would come to El Cholo and buy a bowl of Frijoles a la Hoja (beans in a pot) for 35-cents, and how the waitresses would bring a side of warm tortillas and salsa at no ex tra charge. This was how Jack survived for many years. As for me, well I've never left the place! We have celebrated ever birthday of mine, as well as the birthdays of my various boyfriends and all of my children at El Cholo for half a century, including my famous 40th birthday party. Ron and I have been friends for an eternity, and I have also been close to many members of the staff. I will never find a more fun and delicious place!
