Eater LA reporter Mona Holmes celebrated the 100th anniversary of El Cholo – Los Angeles’s oldest Mexican restaurant – by getting to know its history and its regulars.
“El Cholo – this original location – represents a time and a place in Los Angeles that is no longer,” says Holmes. “People go back there to feel a certain way about this place that has witnessed the rise of this great city of Los Angeles, and they want a piece of that in the form of an enchilada or a taco or burrito.
