I’ve heard mixed things about this place. Shane, our roommate, been here once a while back and since then he refuses to come back. Later we hear that it’s the shiz nit from some of our other friends. We decided to go see for ourselves.
The inside of this place is very spunky and festive. Servers are dressed in cholo style atire. Besides the decor it went with the whole theme of the restaurant.
Spinach And Cheese Enchiladas Verde served with black beans and rice, $12.25. I loved this dish. The spinach was fresh, not pre-made or soggy. The enchiladas were not dry and the cheese was hot and melted. I wasn’t too impressed with the rice, but the enchiladas were the main entree and what really mattered.
Fish Burrito, $12.75. It was ahi fish and I really wish I had taken a picture of the inside for you guys to see. Ray said the beans tasted like they came out of a can but he loved the burrito.
Margaritas made with Patron tequilla. Yum. Mexican food is just so much better with a good margarita, don’t you agree? I don’t remember the price, but I do remember that they were a little watery.
We drove back home with satisfied bellies. When we saw Shane we said, “man, I don’t know what your talking about, Cholos is good.”
When it comes to opinions, take them into consideration, but it’s always best to have one of your own and now I do. Cholos is good Mexican food, no where near the best, but it’s good. As far as cheap goes, I don’t think so but it’s affordable.

just found your website and love it. every time I come back there’s something new to read and new pics to look it. keep up the good work. I myself like Cholo’s as well. The spinach enchiladas looke really good but I always end up getting the shredded beef chimichangas…oh so fattening but oh soo delish!

Glad it worked out for you, but I’m with Shane. The refried beans were obviously out of a can (you could see the curve of the can in the shape of the poorly-heated beans). We didn’t go back either. The dining room decor looks good, though.

Alfonso Lopez » That’s a tough question. Honestly, I haven’t been to a that many Mexican restaurants on the island but of the ones I have been to I have to say Cha Cha Cha’s Salsaria is one of my favorites. If you like deep fried ice cream they have one that is to die for
