Loved our brunch at El Chorro! We requested inside because it was supposed to be hot, but we had a great view and it was very quiet. Food was good and sticky buns were outstanding. Loved that you can order off the menu instead of a big buffet. Staff was friendly, service was adequate.

There's nothing better than a beautiful outdoor patio with gorgeous desert landscaping topped off with gourmet food. That's El Chorro. I want to live there...and I'll go back every chance I get. Their tea is delicous an I'm told there coffee is so good, one must have some!

The views were fantastic, my food was delicious, and the atmosphere was lovely. It is quite pricey but lovely for a special occasion or date night

Our waiter, Ron from Pittsburgh was superb. He seemingly understood that the three of us were having a very important meeting and kept his distance, but also knew exactly when we were ready to order or needed service.
The food, as always, was tasty and perfectly prepared.

Ambiance at El Chorro is fantastic, food is excellent. Great place for a special date or just a casual dinner

WE had a great view of the fireplace in the patio and our server was absolutely over the top. Kudos to him and the entire staff. it was the highlight of our trip to Phoenix!

We took our niece and nephew there for their anniversary.
We had what I feel was the best table in the house. Outside with great view of Camelback mountain at sunset and the best weather.
I have been dining at ElCharro since the 1960’s never ever having a bad meal.
Our waiter was great suggesting wonderful dishes. I had the best filet of beef I’ve ever had.
I highly recommend this restaurant for a fabulous dinning experience.

The staff was excellent, especially our server, Ryan. Food was absolutely fantastic! We had the crab cakes and truffle fries as an appetizer first. I highly recommend both. For the main entree, my husband and I both ordered the Filet Oscar which was cooked to perfection and was absolutely wonderful.

We highly recommend El Charro Lodge. They are tremendous in service and their food is superb.

Great food and ambiance and sticky buns

Always a good time at El Chorro!!!!

Great good with a beautiful environment

Wonderful dinner on the patio with good friends. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious.

Amazing! Outstanding atmosphere, beautiful views, incredible food. Would absolutely come back!

Great food and atmosphere

The hostess didn’t know that it was a special occasion even though we wrote it down as we made the reservation AND we called two days in advance to ask that they would make it extra special. It was disappointing.
Once we sat down, everything was lovely.

El Chorro is amazing for all occasions. Date night, sisters brunch, friends brunch, special occasions and even bridal and baby showers.

Awesome!! Nothing more to say! Definitely recommend!

Everyone made our birthday dinner exceptional. The patio was perfect and while our reservation was kept waiting the service was excellent.

Everything was great. Handled food allergies like a pro!

Beautiful evening matched by the meal and service; wish I could afford to eat there more often.

The noise level was high. Anyone with a hearing impairment would have difficulty.

Ice evening.

It was great! Def expensive but really good food and sizes.

Great place for a birthday celebration. Great location and ambiance. Our server was very accommodating.

Live in Bellevue, WA. This restaurant has been a favorite of my family for 30 years. We never miss the opportunity to go to El Chorro when we are in the Scottsdale. Made reservations for a family member as this was a very special trip this week. They loved everything about it.

The service was ok at best, nothing was screwed up, but the waiter did not have the polish one would expect at this price point. The food was good - not great. Lots of options for big steak eating if that is your thing. The Chorro house salad was solid and maybe I should have gone with a signature dish. My shrimp were pretty good, but arrived lukewarm despite being "fire-roasted". You really pay for the view and ambiance - this is what makes it really worth the prices. I will go again and hope the food and service rise to the 5 star level of their patio.

Always the best.

Great food, service and enjoyable setting. Highly recommended. Five Stars*

It was my wife Julia’s birthday and we had a fabulous time. We were thrilled to be seated out on the patio. The service from Andrea was perfect. She was attentive and engaging but didn’t hover. The pace of the dining was great. It’s a happening place but we didn’t feel rushed as though they were trying to turn the tables. The wine list was good....some Cab selections from Paso Robles would have been preferred. The meal was outstanding with really wonderful flavors. We will return and recommend El Chorro to anyone who wants a nice experience with decent fellow patrons.

Had a fabulous meal with friends. Always enjoy dining at El Chorro!

This was our 5th visit. Basically a destination dining experience since we travel 1500 miles to get here. Brought friends for their 30th wedding anniversary. Waitress could not have been worse. Waitress basically abandoned us. Our food order was taken and delivered appropriately. No appetizers were brought. When we inquired, she said since our food was ready they just brought that. Then, poof, she was gone. The gentleman busing our table finally brought us cold appetizer. I asked our man cleaning the table for our check and she did eventually bring that. Because of that experience, it will likely be our last to El Chorro. There are many other fine dining experiences in the area.

There isnt really anything unique about this restaurant. The flavors are predictable, the cocktails were just ok. I felt like I was eating at a hotel banquet with the way the restaurant is decorated. II am at a loss as to why this is a Phoenix favorite, I left this restaurant very underwhelmed.

Best service ever. The food is always amazing but our server was exceptional.

I really, really missed the purple rice that used to be served with the salmon. As someone that is allergic to cheese, the risotto was not tempting.

But other than that El Chorro is our favorite.

Denise was a wonderful server and food was delicious-loved the short ribs and grapefruit basil smash cocktail. We absolutely love coming to El Chorro, it’s a beautiful restaurant with delicious food and excellent service!

Steven was amazing as a server. The ambiance was breathtaking and this time of year (April) it was perfect for the outdoor dining. Highly recommend the cheese plate for larger parties!

Simply fantastic! Berry happy to have found our new favorite hidden gem!

Great as usual

First I had missed my reservation time and they called me and were able to get us another reservation that evening. We sat outside and had views of the mountains. Mike, our waiter was very patient with us as we had 3 kids in our party. He made suggestions and recommendations that turned out to be great. We had an outstanding meal and were never rushed to eat and go. This was one of the best dinners we had while visiting Phoenix.
