El Corral

Excellent service, (thank you Gabe). The food was delivered quickly and was good but I've had better. We both had the El Corral cut prime rib. It was a perfect size. The salad, rolls, baked potato and tamale pie were very good. The prime rib didn't have a lot of flavor and there was quite a bit of fat but it was cooked right and was fairly tender. I prefer creamed horseradish but it was ok. We might come back sometime.

We both had the Prime Rib. I had the petite cut and husband had regular cut. Asked for medium rare but seemed barely above rare. Not very tender which was disappointing. I had a baked potato which was small but okay, husband had the brocolli which was plentiful but just boiled. The salads were just okay with what tasted like bottled dressing. Two rolls were blah. The waitperson was very nice and efficient. I think the prime rib dinner at Texas Roadhouse is much better, especially with all the better side accompaniments.

I had been here before and had a great experience with food and customer service. This was my 2nd time hoping for a repeat but sadly it wasn't as memorable as the first. The bad: Our salads were a garden mix with a single tomato and single cucumber slice while another in our party did not even get a cucumber. (I know it's salad but still throw in a few toppers to make it feel like it was worth what you pay for) The signature Tamale pie tasted on the over done part with a slight taste of burnt mixed in. I don't recall it tasting like this my first time. The Tucson Chicken plate portion was smaller than expected. The Good: Our waiter Kevin was excellent! Attentive to refills and checking often on us to see if we needed anything else. (He even gave us fresh french fries due to the original order getting soggy while the other food finished getting ready) Loaded potatoes were amazing and packed with enough toppers. The "Catalina Cut" Prime rib was huge! Bigger than I thought it would be. Al
