Such a pleasant room with great food and service. Love the pork chop and shrimp and grits. Truthfully though, everything on the menu is outstanding....also the tortilla soup; a real experience. Good wine list and prompt friendly service (Tonya). A wonderful Christmas Eve.

Food for five persons were very good with great services and hospitality.We ate our dinner at five pm and the outdoor dining area were pretty dark as there are no ceiling lights but do have small table LED light lamps and under bench lighting. Some of us had hard hard time reading the menus with low lights but was managed somehow. We will go there again with better daylights.

Excellent patio table in view if the large fireplace and under the mature oaks. We had brunch with old friends we haven’t seen in a while and the staff let us linger a very long time. My dining partners had brunchy items and seemed to like them; I had a Waldorf salad that was fresh but just okay. I wouldn’t recommend it—-overpriced and very little food. Overall we are glad we went to El Chorro for the ambiance and the beautiful setting,
