El Cholo is a historic Mexican restaurant chain with a rich legacy dating back to 1923 when Alejandro Borquez and his wife Rosa opened the Sonora Cafe in Los Angeles. Renamed El Cholo after a guest's creative menu drawing, the restaurant has since become a beloved family-owned establishment known for its innovative dishes and iconic margaritas.

With multiple locations across California and now in Salt Lake City, El Cholo continues to serve up traditional Mexican cuisine with a modern twist, attracting generations of loyal customers who appreciate the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients and exceptional dining experiences.
