El Cholo

Salt Lake City, UT 84106

El Cholo is a family-owned Mexican restaurant that began its journey in 1922 when Alejandro Borquez and his wife Rosa opened the original Sonora Cafe in Santa Barbara, California. The restaurant was later renamed El Cholo after a guest whimsically drew a character on the menu, and since then, it has evolved into an iconic establishment with a rich history spanning six generations.

Over the decades, El Cholo has become renowned for its authentic Mexican cuisine and innovative dishes, like nachos, introduced by Carmen Rocha in 1959. With multiple locations across Southern California and Salt Lake City, El Cholo continues to build on its legacy of quality food and family tradition, ensuring a memorable dining experience for guests.
