The Take
El Corral dishes out typical Tex-Mex with the usual oil-soaked defaults. Slop Score 71.
Multiple locations mean hit-or-miss sourcing, but the grilled meat options stand out when you dodge the fried stuff.
The Verdict
El Corral stays mid because the defaults lean fried and oily even at family spots. Grilled plates with veggies cut through the noise when you customize.
Order the grilled fajitas or carne asada plate, double the veggies, easy on tortillas. 71
