Description

Even in the '20s, Angelenos vaguely remembered that the area used to belong to Mexico, and there have always been Mexican restaurants here that catered to American taste. The emblematic cuisine of these restaurants is embodied in the Number Two Dinner, the eternal combination platter of chile relleno, enchilada, rice and beans bound together with cinctures of orange cheese. And El Cholo's green-corn tamales have been a rite of spring in Los Angeles since the days when Bob Hope was actually funny.

    some of the most authentic mexican food you will ever find in southern california! their tamales are ALL you'll need to order, but aren't offered year-round, so be sure they're on the menu when you make your visit. last time i went, i sat at the "nacho table," which apparently gave me a free order of nachos! who can complain at that!!?

    The best margaritas and great food! Love the downtown restaurant, but not on the list.
