Review by Iva Hettinger

El Cholo is my new favorite spot in Anaheim! 🌮 The vibrant atmosphere makes it perfect for casual dining, and I loved the comfortable outdoor seating.

I ordered the enchiladas, and they were bursting with flavor - truly a comfort food heaven! The quick service was impressive, even during the dinner rush.

Plus, their happy hour deals on cocktails are a must-try! 🍹 The cozy vibes are perfect for solo diners or groups.

Don’t forget to check out the kids' menu if you’re dining with family. Overall, a delightful experience I can't wait to repeat! ✨
