    This was my husband and I’s first dining experience here. Our friends and family have been recommending it for years so we were hopeful. Everything was exceptional from ambience to food and service. We will definitely be back. We started with the el chorro salad and for entree’s my husband had the filet mignon and I had the short ribs. The hot sticky buns may have filled me too much for my meal but it was delicious.

    The service was so slow considering the restaurant was maybe 10% occupancy on the patio. Our server was really nice but it took 45 min for drinks. The patio was super cold and she forgot to bring out another heater. I had to find a bus boy to bring it along to ask him to tell our server to bring another drink. However the food was very good

    Amazing experience—food, drinks, wine and service was top notch. However, we asked to be moved as we were a party of four sandwiched between a loud party of six at a large round table and a slightly less loud long table of ten. The table we were moved to against the wall was great and allowed us to talk without screaming at each other.

Our culinary staff works very hard to ensure that each dish is new, fresh, and just right every time. Thank you for mentioning how much you enjoyed not only our food and beverages but also the exceptional services. However, we are very sorry your experience was compromised due to the noise level in our restaurant, and we are glad we could move you to a much quieter table. Thank you so much for telling us about your visit; we look forward to seeing you again soon. Warm Regards, The Management Team at El Chorro

    This was our second visit during our weeklong stay in Paradise Valley. We had a lovely table on the patio, it’s very beautiful and peaceful. Our server was new and we were forgiving as it was a busy Friday night. The food is superior, well executed and plated perfectly. The management is first class—assuring our satisfaction. Highly recommend and we will definitely return.
