Horrible Experience

We had the most horrible experience and were so disappointed because we were really looking forward to entertaining our guest who had never been to El Chorro. After a long day of meetings and conference calls,...

Not going again

The food was just ok, but wow - expensive. This place is way over priced. Also, most of the diners there were over 70 - we felt way out of place and we are late 30's-early 40's. Service was pretty good, and I...

Visited El Choro Aug 6th. Have been visiting the Phoenix area since 1997 and have enjoyed the Steaks at Mortons, Ruth's and Flemings. Dissappointed at the 8oz Filet Mignon ordered from the 1600F Mesquite oven....

I don't get it

el Chorro is one of the place that the old Hollywood stars used to frequent. It's old, out of date, it smelled musty and I didn't care for the service at all.

Lobster and Sticky Buns

The very best appetizer - and the best lobster I've ever eaten: "flash-fried" lobster tail, affectionately known as "lobster bites". This could be a meal in itself but when I'm really looking to satisfy my...

Still 'ho hum' after all these years.

This has to be the most overrated restaurant in the Phx area. While the outdoor ambience and view is marvelous, the same,(yawn), tired, old classics are still on the menu after all these years. Last time I...

It's the View

The view from the outdoor patio is serene. The food is good, but not as amazing as I was expecting based on the reviews from this site. DON'T GO INSIDE, I think that will ruin the mood. It's a bit run down in...

Built in 1934 as a girls' school, El Chorro is a Valley landmark and one of the area's last old traditional establishments. Even if the interior is a little dowdy, at nighttime the lights twinkle on the...
