The end of an era. When El Cholo moved from Fair Oaks to the Paseo it was a big move…. now El Cholo Pasadena is closing. Is this a sign of the timee, the cost of doing business, over regulation, wages, or a combination of all of the above.

To Our valued guests for the past 25 years, we have enjoyed the relationships we created with you all, but with a heavy heart, we have made the very tough decision to close our doors.

We are excited to be going back to the family business and will be heading up the Catering division for the El Cholo family of restaurants.

Our last day of business will be Sunday August 3rd

We thank you for your patronage over the past 25 years.
