El Cholo is a historic Mexican restaurant chain that began in 1922 when Alejandro Borquez and his wife Rosa opened The Sonora Cafe in Los Angeles. The establishment evolved into El Cholo Cafe, named after a figure drawn by a guest, and has since grown into a family-owned business spanning six generations.

Over the decades, El Cholo has become renowned for its innovative dishes, including the introduction of premium margaritas and the popularization of nachos. With multiple locations across California and a legacy of culinary influence, El Cholo continues to serve traditional Mexican cuisine while honoring its rich history.
