El Cholo 8 5 $12
Multiple Locations Directions
 
El Cholo is among the better Mexican food in LA. Their burritors are awesome, as are their tamales. They are "famous" for Green Corn Tamales, which are only served at certain times of the year. Unfortunately, the service leaves something to be desired, as they often have trouble with special orders. But get a pitcher of Cadillac Margherita and you won't notice.

I have been to La Fiesta Grande a number of times, and am disappointed in every experience. This is your run-of-the-mill SoCal Mexican hole in the wall, with relatively cheap prices for rather cheap food. Drinks are also inexpensive, so get tipsy before eating and you may not notice how bad the food is.
