El Corral provides a rustic southwestern ranch ambiance with friendly service and tasty dishes. The prime rib is their specialty, described as very good, evenly roasted, moist, flavorful, and perfectly medium rare. The restaurant has a long history, with many customers returning after more than 40 years, noting that everything remains great today. The garlic knots, however, are often served cold and stale, which has been a common complaint. Some reviews mention that the salad should have leafy greens and that dressings need to be less thin. The restaurant used to offer customizable salads, but now they have a different approach.
The service is friendly, and the prime rib and tamale pie continue to be popular choices. Customers also appreciate the cozy atmosphere and the effort to keep Tucson businesses alive. Improvements suggested include warming the rolls, ensuring sides and add-ons are hot when served, warming the entree plates, and expanding the wine list to include high-end whiskey options, which would enhance the overall experience. Despite minor issues, El Corral remains a beloved spot for delicious food and friendly service.
