What a cool atmosphere. The food was awesome and plenty of it! Thank you for that. Nothing more irritating than small quantities in my opinion. We had brunch and we all chose a different item. Everyone was VERY happy with their choice. As soon as I left I texted my sister in law and told her that’s our next outing location!! Can’t wait to go back.

We always love our visits to El Chorro. Our server (Ryan) was OUTSTANDING. Very attentive, without hovering. Food was excellent (order the shrimp pepper pot, you won't be disappointed!), but my steak (Filet) was over cooked. It was promptly recooked and perfect. The coolers on the patio made a very warm evening completely pleasant.

We had a wonderful experience at El Chorro. The food was great and the service was great. My only complaint is that the flies were very aggressive and we were being attacked the whole time we were eating. Hard to enjoy your food when you have to swat at flies and they are landing on your food. Very unappetizing. Not anyone's fault but it would be great if they could do some kind of insect mitigation.

The ambiance here is amazing. Gorgeous setting. The food selection could be better in my opinion but the the food is really good as well.

We were a party of six having brunch at this old world Phoenix institution. We sat outside in the patio area that was lovely. The brunch dishes we had were all good and the service was professional. Nice ambience, smart casual attire, good food, moderate pricing. Recommended.
