Great to get back there, we've missed it during COVID. Everything was great, the service was excellent as usual, and of course the food is wonderful.
Our wait person, Phillip, was outstanding! We’ve dined with you all quite a bit. This time we brought family and the experience was really special. Phillip made it the perfect evening. Of course the food was also delicious!
Special occasion destination. Beautiful view of Camelback Mtn. from the patio. Delicious food. Yummy cocktails. Great service.
Thank you for your excellent review and for visiting us on your special occasion. We also appreciate you mentioning that you had a great time sitting outside on our patio, and enjoyed the beautiful views of Camelback Mountain.

We were so looking forward to our dinner at El Charro. We were celebrating my son‘s birthday we had a dinner reservation on the patio for 715 no one came to welcome us at our table for 5 to 10 minutes it took another 10 minutes to get a drink order we had appetizers salad and our entrée arrived at 9o’clock so that was disappointing it is a beautiful setting however it was very windy and cold that night so that didn’t help things I think it would be more fun to go there for brunch!
Lizzieann, thank you for choosing El Chorro for celebrating your son's birthday. We are glad overall you had a great experience with us. Exceptional service should be the standard, and we are sorry your experience with our staff was not up to your expectations. We will share your comments appropriately.

It was my father in laws first time at El Chorro. We sat in the bar. Excellent service, food, and ambience.

The ambiance is amazing but the food didn’t match up. The food was overpriced for what was served. I had the vegan pasta and the veggies were raw and the cheese was not melted. Only the noodles were cooked. My husband had the fish special and said it was good but not great.
Thank you so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed our beautiful restaurant and the ambiance. We always do our absolute best to deliver only the finest food to our guests, but we understand you were dissatisfied with your selections on this visit. We will speak with our culinary staff and our chef about your concern. If you would join us again we're sure our cuisine can match your pleasant experience with our staff. Warm Regards, The Management Team at El Chorro
Amazing meal with exceptional service by Jamie. Ambiance is perhaps best we’ve ever enjoyed. Filet Oscar was divine and my husband enjoyed his stroganoff. We were far too full to enjoy dessert, but the sticky buns are tasty. We hope to return on future visits to the area.

Gorgeous and comfortable patio. Elizabeth was an excellent server and very helpful. Thank you!
Menu broad and interesting . Sticky buns are an unusual item but delicious nonetheless. Broaster chicken and shrimp pepper pot starter were top notch. Rating a four, not 5 star, because the “branzino” special wasn’t branzino and wasn’t very good. Wine list good and prices reasonable. We’ll be happy to come back next time we’re in town.
Thank you so much for your very kind review. We do pride ourselves on our warm, inviting dining room and the view from our patio cannot be matched. We are also happy you loved the food we serve and we appreciate you mentioning that you loved our Sticky buns, Broaster chicken, and shrimp pepper pot. We will also share your concerns regarding the branzino with our team. Thank you again and we look forward to your next visit. Warm Regards, The Management Team at El Chorro

Maybe the most overpriced, mediocre dining establishment. I am shocked people return here. Almost laughable when they brought plates. I could have made all of this food at home. They don’t really deserve the return business here.

We appreciate your honest feedback, and we will certainly be following up with our team to take all necessary actions.

We had a fabulous experience at El Chorro!
Wonderful ambiance, excellent menu and superb service.
Our waiter was Robert. Very personable and knowledgeable
about the menu and wine list.
I had the Australian sea bass and my husband had the duck special.
The food was delicious. Please commend Robert for his excellent service.
I would highly recommend a trip to El Chorro.
A must on all of our future visits to Scottsdale.

They have the absolute BEST patio dining anywhere. Best for a special occasion. We have been "locked up" due to Covid. This is the first place we chose after we got our vaccinations.

Everything was top-notch from the time we arrived [slightly early] and were immediately seated on the outdoor patio, to the time we left and were thanked by our server and other staff members for dining at El Chorro. The food was excellent. Our entrees included the Braised Beef Short Ribs, Beef Stroganoff, Sautéed Scallops & Jumbo Shrimp Pasta, and the Vegan Baja Style Lentil Soup. All are recommended. The setting is beautiful. It is a great place to take visitors from out of state.
We are glad you had a chance to dine at El Chorro, and thoroughly enjoyed your experience. Our chefs take pride in using the freshest ingredients in the meals they create, and our servers take great pride in the service they provide - all contributing to an experience unlike any other restaurant.

Duck made us very sick that night, desserts were bad as well. But the appetizers, drinks, and first course were great!
Gave me acidity, heartburn and loose Motion. Would not recommend to my worst enemy

My fiancé and I decided to go to ElChorro to celebrate Valentine’s Day. It was our first time there. While our waiter was polite, We were really bothered by his behavior . Our appetizer was accidentally delivered to the table next to us. He apologized to THEM, told them it was on the house and proceeded to give THEM a free dessert at the end of their meal! We received none of these things. We were kind and polite and understanding so I do t know why the waiter essentially ignored us most of the evening. The food was good but pricey. Given our experience, we likely won’t go back.
Thank you for choosing us for your Valentine's day celebration. We were glad to read how much you and your fiancé enjoyed the food. However, we are sorry for the issues you experienced with our service staff and for their lack of attention. We will address this with our team and ensure that they are treating all guests with maximum consideration. We hope you will choose us again soon. Warm Regards, The Management Team at El Chorro
