    This was a great choice for our anniversary celebration. The ambience and grounds were spectacular. All the entrees we ordered were very tasty, a bit on the pricier side but didn't feel cheated given the excellent service and ambience. We had a shrimp appetizer that was exquisite. Their complimentary sticky buns were tasty.We also had their lobster entree, their salmon and chicken pot pie. My family loved the food , it was freshly made. Would highly recommend for a special occasion. We loved the camelback Mountain View

    The setting, the service, and the food were fantastic. El Chorro has the most beautiful patio, and inside dining is equally gorgeous. The entire staff goes out of their way to make the dining experience so enjoyable. No pretense- just professional happy employees who seem to love their job. The food is carefully prepared, and the presentation is five star. So is the taste! This is one of Phoenix’s finest locations. We look forward to our next visit.

    Fabulous! Amber was a super star guiding us to the best dishes and a great experience. The cocktails were unique and delicious. We had the Sea Bass and Salmon special and both were divine. Ambers recommendation of saving the sticky buns for dessert with vanilla ice cream topped off a beautiful evening. The grounds are beautiful.

    What a fantastic restaurant! From start to finish everything we ate was outstanding. And I cannot say enough about the sweet rolls to start with…absolutely delicious! While the food and patio setting were wonderful, we also had the best service from Joe. Joe was very attentive and knowledgeable, and put a smile as he shared the history of El Chorro.
