    Ty did a wonderful job with service! We started with the lobster bites and then enjoyed the New York steak and the fried chicken as entrees. Everything was delicious! Of course the Carmel rolls are always a special treat! Thank you for a wonderful dinner!!!

    Way over priced ! two of us and it was $350 for a fried chicken dinner and a salmon dinner two salads and three drinks it's better to go to The Monarch Cafe in Scottsdale if you are spending that much money, furthermore, their menu is very limited. Not nearly as good as it used to be with the original owners. They don't have or use martini glasses they serve martinis in Champaine glasses, this is not an acceptable practice for such an expensive restaurant
    El ChorroResponded 6 days ago

We do appreciate your feedback about our menu items, as we always want to hear how we can enhance our guest experience.

Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to have another opportunity to provide you with the seamless experience for which we are known. Warm Regards, The Management Team at El Chorro

    Such a classic location and always wonderful food. Willing to make adjustments to menu items ( I am a vegetarian, so they were happy to switch the bacon for avocado on my Eggs Benedict.) Our server, Tyler, was very attentive and made our experience joyful!

    Our server, Vicki, was bright, cheerful, and provided stellar service. The lemon ricotta pancakes were absolutely delicious in both taste and texture - the lemon flavor came through nicely without overpowering. My wife enjoyed the breakfast tamale bowl commenting the tamales were the best she's ever had. They were light, fluffy, and with just the right amount of spice. The fruit plate presentation was almost too beautiful to eat, and was equally tasty with the prickly pear yogurt. We are already planning our next visit!

    Dear Mark, We are thrilled to know that your experience was so enjoyable and that Vicki made such a lasting impression with her attentive and gracious service. It is wonderful to hear that each dish exceeded expectations in both flavor and presentation. We are especially glad the desserts brought a delightful end to your meal. Thank you for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review. It will be our pleasure to welcome you back to El Chorro on your next visit. Warm Regards, The Management Team at El Chorro

    Needs to work on coffee, it came cold and flavorless. The salmon egg benedict could have been a little warmer. Overall, great experience.
