About El Chorro
Celebrate the holidays surrounded by beautiful desert scenery at El Chorro, one of Paradise Valley's most iconic restaurants.
Nestled at the foot of Camelback and Mummy Mountains, El Chorro has long been a favorite gathering place for Arizona locals and visitors seeking memorable dining, warm hospitality, and a timeless Southwestern atmosphere.
For Christmas 2026, El Chorro is planning special three-course dining experiences on both Christmas Eve, December 24, and Christmas Day, December 25.
Rather than an elaborate Christmas pop-up or themed cocktail bar, El Chorro offers a more traditional holiday celebration, centered around a beautifully prepared meal and quality time with family and friends.
The restaurant's historic character, elegant dining spaces, and scenic mountain surroundings create an inviting setting for a special occasion. Its tranquil Paradise Valley location makes it particularly appealing for visitors looking to celebrate Christmas away from the bustle of central Phoenix and Scottsdale.
Throughout the year, El Chorro is known for its thoughtfully prepared cuisine, romantic atmosphere, and memorable dining experiences, making it a natural choice for Christmas gatherings.
Whether you're planning a Christmas Eve dinner with loved ones or a special Christmas Day celebration, El Chorro offers a classic holiday dining experience in one of Arizona's most beautiful settings.
2026 Holiday Update: Three-course Christmas Eve and Christmas Day menus have been announced. Final dishes, pricing, seating times, and holiday-specific booking details are still to come.
