    The ambiance was fantastic! Our waitstaff was very attentive and always helpful. The food was delicious. It was our first time here and we were surprised at the small choices that were available. However, we will definitely return.

    What a wonderful dinner! We started with the Waldorf salad which was delicious! Then we enjoyed the lobster bites and the New York strip which were spectacular! We ended with the cheese cake…delicious! Our service was top notch! The view with the patio doors open was also spectacular! Thank you for a wonderful night El Chorro!

    Our friends visiting from California loved it. We sat outside in perfect weather and very much enjoyed our meal. The shrimp pepper pot is always delicious and the cinnamon buns to start are a real treat. Excellent food, nice view of Camelback Mountain, wonderful ambience, plentiful parking. What more could you want?
