Spanish restaurant menu in Del Mar, California

El Cholo is a historic family-owned restaurant located at 1025 Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica, California. The restaurant was originally founded as The Sonora Cafe by Alejandro Borquez and his wife Rosa, who were inspired by Rosa's cooking skills. The name El Cholo was adopted after a guest drew a figure on the menu and called him "El Cholo", a name given to field hands by Spanish settlers in California. Over the years, El Cholo has become a beloved institution known for its authentic Mexican cuisine and innovative dishes. The restaurant's legacy includes the introduction of nachos by Carmen Rocha and the popularization of premium margaritas made with Cuervo 1800 Tequila.
