    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.
    El ChorroResponded on June 11, 2025
    Dear Deborah, Thank you for posting such a wonderful recommendation! We are happy to know you have dined at El Chorro on several occasions and that each experience has been spectacular. 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

    Amazing setting and views of Camelback Mountain. Perfect in the springtime.
    El ChorroResponded on June 4, 2025
    Dear Dana, We are delighted that you were able to enjoy the views of Camelback Mountain—this time of year is truly ideal for enjoying the scenery from our patio. That said, we are very sorry to hear that the service fell short during your visit. It is disappointing that your Eggs Benedict was not warm when served, and that you were left waiting without support for an extended period. This is not reflective of the attentive care we strive to offer, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your feedback has been shared with our team to ensure better attentiveness moving forward. Thank you for choosing to dine with us. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a more seamless and satisfying dining experience. Warm Regards, The Management Team at El Chorro
