Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

El Camino Mexican Kitchen offers a vibrant dining experience with "excellent service" and a lively atmosphere, especially during events like Cinco de Mayo. The menu features standout dishes like the "mushroom taco" and "BEST nachos," alongside great margaritas. While the ambiance can be a bit noisy, the attentive staff and delicious, albeit "Americanized," Mexican cuisine make it a popular choice. Enjoy Happy Hour deals and a chic outdoor seating option for a delightful meal.

Conversation at the bar was extremely inappropriate between staff members. Very loud and uncomfortable conversations about sex and dating life between bartender and waitress. Bartender did not feed into the situation as he took excellent care of us. Waitress would non stop keep approaching him and talking about these conversations. Just very unprofessional. Food was amazing though!

The food was very flavorful. It came out very quickly. Our server Hannah was dynamite young lady was on top of everything. The only thing I was very disappointed was with the dessert Churros!! No cinnamon sugar on them like they should have and no flavor in the dough?! That’s the second time I’ve tried it and disappointed

Service was fabulous! Drinks and food were mediocre. Guac was bland - and it was the upsell version. Enchiladas were dry. I ordered the same drink twice and it tasted different the second time (not a good different). Our server had it re-made, still not good. Unfortunate, because it’s a nice atmosphere and we had a very attentive server.

Inside is like a chic cafeteria; it’s not uncomfortable by any means, but the booth seats have holes in them and the decor hanging from the ceiling is a little cheesy. Outdoor seating seems like a nice option on a pretty day. Generally great service from our waitress and the host staff. The food was good, but nothing incredible. Pork in the Al Pastor taco was very tough and Birria was a little one-note. The mushroom and crispy shrimp tacos were highlights. Red sangria is sweet and VERY tequila-forward; was hoping it would be more fruity, but there was not a ton of flavor. Prices average. Not upset with our experience, but probably won’t be rushing back here.
