El Corral has roots going all the way back to 1926, when a restaurant opened east of Oracle Road, according to El Corral's website, in the building where El Corral is today.
The restaurant has changed names and hands multiple times over the years. Today, it perhaps known best for its prime rib in its El Corral Cut ($21.99), Arizona Cut ($25.99) and Catalina Cut ($29.99).
