My first time here. I loved the food and the casual atmosphere.

Took the family here when we had out of town guests. They made us feel so welcome and engaged us. It was Easter and we felt like part of their family. Great food and a fun time! Thanks El Corral for the great service!❤️

Incredible prime rib and baby back ribs. Sides were awesome. Service was excellent.
In 1915, the Tucson Citizen reported that local developer John Murphey had purchased several thousand acres of property in the foothills of the Catalina Mountains to the north of town. The editors of the newspaper projected the purchase as "folly”, an investment in worthless desert hillsides, never to be recovered.
For John Murphey, it took just over a decade to prove his detractors wrong. By the end of the 1920s, homes were being built in the Catalina Foothills neighborhoods, and the distinctive Spanish Colonial and Mission Revival style buildings in the area began to take form.
A short distance east of Campbell Avenue a building was built in 1926, possibly the first restaurant/cafe/tavern east of Oracle Road.
