User Reviews of el Corral Steakhouse

Yelp.com Review - by Jenn L.

5 of 5 stars. Dinner at El Corral, the best prime rib in town. El Corral focuses on getting great beef and leaves out the pretense. Cheese bread and salad are awesome, and the prime rib melts in your mouth. My…

Do not go, any other place would be better!

I love eating out and, many years ago, I had fond memories of El Corral, however, the meal I paid for tonight was not worth the doggie bag it came in (for my dog, really). Start with the glacial service, then...

Just another tourist trap

I have lived all my life in Arizona and have been in every old cowboy steakhouse around. They don't have anything remotely unique, same old uneven floors, lots of wood and hanging iron but missing the sawdust....

Best Steakhouse in Tucson by far

As a native Tucsonan, I've experience most of the steakhouses around town, from the hole-in-the wall joints to the trendy (and pricey!) new places (McMahon's, Flemmings). El Corral has always been my favorite....

prime rib heaven

Don't come here for the steaks - they've always been mediocre. But the prime rib is heaven, even if they serve it with the nastiest fake mashed potatoes this side of Denny's. Try the "atomic" horseradish!

Gone downhill over the years

This place used to be a great place for steaks. Lately though, they've been going down hill. The steaks are no longer as flavorful as they used to be, the service is slow, and their prices went up. Their prime...
