    Such a classic location and always wonderful food. Willing to make adjustments to menu items ( I am a vegetarian, so they were happy to switch the bacon for avocado on my Eggs Benedict.) Our server, Tyler, was very attentive and made our experience joyful!

    Our server, Vicki, was bright, cheerful, and provided stellar service. The lemon ricotta pancakes were absolutely delicious in both taste and texture - the lemon flavor came through nicely without overpowering. My wife enjoyed the breakfast tamale bowl commenting the tamales were the best she's ever had. They were light, fluffy, and with just the right amount of spice. The fruit plate presentation was almost too beautiful to eat, and was equally tasty with the prickly pear yogurt. We are already planning our next visit!

    El Chorro has been a family favorite for many years. The thoughtful blend of updating the menu but keeping fan favorites is critical to keeping loyal customers like us coming back year after year.

    Needs to work on coffee, it came cold and flavorless. The salmon egg benedict could have been a little warmer. Overall, great experience.

    We have been to El Chorro many times. This Sunday we went for their brunch. There was no egg dish on the menu—you had to order the items from the “sides” menu, which seemed very odd to us. As always, the food and service were good, but they should really consider bringing back at least one egg/bacon/toast entree to the Sunday brunch menu.

We also appreciate knowing what would have enhanced your visit. It was a pleasure hosting you for your Sunday brunch, and we look forward to your next visit with us. Warm Regards, The Management Team at El Chorro
