El Cholo Pasadena Reviews from The Last Year
If I could, I would rate this place 3.
5 stars. I feel like the quality of this restaurant went down a lot. We called ahead and went with a party of 8 for a coworkers birthday. The waitress tried her best to sell us margaritas but we couldn't because it was during work hours. They brought out chips and salsas to the table. The chips were pretty stale. I asked for a diff kind of salsa and was informed they don't make other kinds. I got the blackened chicken tostada salad. It was pretty good. Service kinda lacked. The waitress never came by to refill waters until we asked for it.
waitress was super nice.
I was surprised to see how large the restaurant is once you go inside. there are multiple sections. it does look like the interior can use a bit of TLC to update and clean up. the overall rustic and colorful decor has this nostalgic charm. food was amazing. I loved the shrimp tacos and before the food arrive you have some chips and salsa too much on. I do think this is pricier than most tacos that you will find at other places but it was worthwhile.
My wife and I won a bid item at a charity silent auction.
That item contained a $100 gift certificate for El Cholo in Pasadena. After reading a few mixed reviews, I was somewhat leery about dining there but I kept it to myself and went with an open mind. We hadn't been to this location but found it to be busy with plenty of attentive staff members. We were seated promptly and our server, Matthew, was there quickly to provide us with chips and salsa and water. We ordered their special nachos (chips with plenty of melted cheese) and they were yummy. They went well with their margaritas. I ordered the chili verde which was very tasty and plentiful (leftovers tomorrow). My wife ordered a combination that was okay. We enjoyed a nice evening and saw the place become more and more busy. We will be back as the service and the food were both very good.
Service was crap, michelada was gross! Food is overrated.
There's better food at a taco truck. Don't waste your money or time here. They have pretty plates lol.
Great place.
The environment is amazing, and the food was good . Our server, Cathy, was quick and attentive. I will definitely be coming back .
I can give 0 stars I would.
Bad customer service. They take forever to take order. They Don't stop by and check up.. my kids meal comes with a drink and she gave me a full size drink so she charged it. Horchata is bad so my kid didn't even drink it.
Love the chips and salsa!! Everyone was so helpful in
Love the chips and salsa!! Everyone was so helpful in serving the food and just taking our order. We didn't have to wait on a Saturday night which was good. The restaurant itself is pretty big. The food is great and has a some what authentic taste to it. The portions are big which is nice. The drinks are also pretty good.
5 stars because the staff are really nice.
We have little kids and the staff were very accommodating. I used to eat frequently at the original El Cholo on Western, and to be honest once they expanded all of the locations outside of Western Ave are just so-so for food. Good enough for a fun night out and the decor is legit. I have nothing bad to say about this Pasadena location, and the green corn tamales which are seasonal are ALWAYS amazing.
My husband and I visited this location on a Wednesday
My husband and I visited this location on a Wednesday during happy hour while in the area. We walked in to no hostess or staff, so we made our way on our own to the bar patio area. There was still no staff to be seen. There was one other party eating in the restaurant at the time. Finally after 15 minutes someone came out to greet us and asked us what we wanted to drink. We asked for menus which took another 5 minutes. When the waitress returned, we ordered a mango margarita and a Coors light (in a bottle).. we also ordered a taco plate from their happy hour menu. The drinks took almost 40 minutes to come out. When they did, the margarita was not good at all. It had way too much sweet mix in it. The waitress asked how it was because she said she made it herself in the back. The food was okay at best. Three potato tacos for $12. After being there well over an hour and only getting one round due to no one coming out regularly to check on us, we decided to ask for our check. My margarita during happy hour was $21. We used to frequent this location back in the day and enjoyed going there. We were very disappointed in the service mainly, but also the quality of food and drink, as well as price. We hope they can revamp this place.
Went here with a large group.
We had catering, which seemed to be run by one single guy solo. He was busting his butt to get water's, the appetizers and cocktails served as people came in. This review is for the food only - meh. I wasn't impressed at all. It was just average, but the cost was way above average. Drinks and food are better at the Western Ave location.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
