Customer Reviews

My fiance and I went looking for a different place to have date night rather than the typical place where we have a 1-2hr wait just to get a table etc. This place did not disappoint!! Food was amazing and the service was fantastic! I'm extremely picky when it comes to seefood (Florida girl) especially in a landlocked state and it was surprisingly wonderful! Food was cooked properly and extremely flavorful! Definitely happy to have found this wonderful gem! Will return again soon!

Never disappointed by the food and service at El Camino. If you like melty cheese and chorizo to dip your chips into, I highly recommend the queso fundido.

We ate here not long ago and the place was phenomenal. Our server was also the best, he was straight forward and his personality overall just made a massive difference. We also tried out his custom sauce dips that we absolutely amazing. The prices are great for what you get as well. I highly recommend this place.

I really liked their veggie fajitas. In fact, they were the best I've ever had! The seasoning was delicious and I was excited that it included broccoli too. The guac and the cheese quesadilla were also good. I got the cheese sauce since the queso dip had chorizo. It had a good flavor but was too thin to eat with chips because it was really was meant to be a sauce rather than a dip. As a sauce it was good and I added it to the fajitas. The service was good and the prices were reasonable.
