                                                      Been going to El Chorro for almost 50 years. I always love the place but I am missing the old brunch menu. Seems like too many new items on this menu. Bring back the chili Verde! And the traditional eggs Benedict.

                                                      Dear Maureen, We truly value your patronage over the past 50 years and love knowing we were able to provide you with a great dining experience every time you visit us. However, we are sorry that our brunch menu did not meet your expectations especially with the changes to some of your favorites like the Chili Verde and traditional eggs Benedict. We understand how special those dishes were to you and will share your feedback with our team, as we always want to hear how we can enhance our guest experience! We enjoy having you each and every time and look forward to serving you again soon at El Chorro. Warm Regards, The Management Team at El Chorro

                                                      Absolutely. Amazing atmosphere, and gracious staff. Our waiter had a bit of a hard time, and it may have been because of the noise level, but otherwise, the service was good. Three of the four folks had great things that say about their entrée, however, one was not thrilled. Overall, all of us will be back.
