Beautiful views, delicious food, and good service. We enjoyed the sunset views over the Pacific. The fish tacos, spicy salsa, and beef tacos and tamale were very tasty.

It's an easy stop if staying in the... More

We called in very late for dinner and there were still a few people in the restaurant, but we got the feeling they wanted us in and out. we were happy with that as we were tired and wanted to eat and get out quickly too. The meal was nice, the drinks were great and the service was good.

We had a great experience at El Chorlito! The food was excellent and the staff was very attentive. The interior is a bit out dated but for the price and view you can't beat it! Also, our waiter was kind enough to run out and find us in the parking lot after accidentally leaving our credit card on the table.

By far the worst restaurant I have been to on a Saturday evening at 6:00 p.m., the dinner hour. There were only three people at the bar and one other couple when the two of us arrived. The host was unorganized and could not decide on where to seat us. Upon seating, he brought out the customary chips and salsa... More

Ordered the crab tostada. Everything was freshly made and very good. When we got back to our room, they had put hips and salsa in thebag, kept our sour cream and guacamole separate as asked for and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly and efficient.

The waitress commented several times about the fact that I looked ready to order, but my friend wasn't. She asked my friend, impatiently, what she was trying to decide between for her meal. When we asked about separate checks she said it was possible but would require extra work. When the bill arrived,both meals were on the one ticket. The... More

A friend and I went to this restaurant because it was walking distance from our hotel. I had read reviews on Trip Advisor and they were mixed. The service was not friendly, we asked for separate bills and the waitress sad she could do it but it would take EXTRA time! Really? The food was not good either. Our hotel... More

Beer and wine only, which made for a slim choice of cocktails. Fajitas were filling and delicious! Quick walk from the hotel, which was very, very convenient.
