El Caminito Mexican Restaurant

A GEM! No wonder, El Caminito Mexican Restaurant was voted the Best Mexican Restaurant. It is like eating homemade Mexican food. My enchiladas Suizas filled most of the plate and were covered with specially made Suiza sauce. The refried beans were freshly made, and what a taste difference that makes. The rice was a nice accompaniment. A sample of lettuce with a unique dressing was tasty. The nachos were so fresh. And the sauce was just right with the correct amount of Pico de gallo. My raspberry margarita filled a tall glass. It wasn't overpowering with alcohol. My husband's burrito was huge and delicious. My neighbor diner was oohing and awing over her Chile Rellenos, the best she has ever had. I will be back for that dish.

The owner, Julian, was friendly. As I put my leftover dinner in a takeout box, he told me not to close until he brought me extra Suiza sauce. And what a large portion it was!

Our booth was large and made of quality, tufted leather.

I am awed to have found El Caminito Mexican Restaurant!.

Not very busy for a Sunday lunch. Waitress is very nice. But service is slow. The chips are good but the pico de gallo was watery. I tried the pescado veracruz - The fish was flaky but fell into little pieces with my fork because it was sitting in a pool of tomato liquid. I think they must have put the plate in the oven because it appeared that the liquid from veracruz sauce of tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and a few green olives separated from the veggies to the bottom of the plate. The refried beans were good and seasoned well. The rice was also good. But the fish lacked salt, acidity (squeeze some lemon on top) and spices. It needed more
seasoning and some cilantro. Prices are in line with the area at around $20 per plate. When we asked what the favorite dishes are she said the quesadilla. Which I can make at home for way cheaper. I also asked if they make the tortillas in house which is a sign a of an authentic place for me, and they do not. I would try it again but stick with the basics like carne asada and enchiladas.

Food and service was on par. I had the enchiladas suizas with an orachata. Hubby enjoyed his combination dinner. We will go back!

Wonderful food, and they deliver to our home 40 minutes drive from their business. We and several members of our family have been using this place for delivered food for parties for at least a dozen years.
Their location is a little small for large parties but it is a great place to take your family.

Sheesh, 19$ for a decent burrito. I rather go to Garcias on Fair Oaks. At least I won't feel ripped.

We came in and were seated immediately with a party of 6. The chips and salsa were very mediocre- lacking flavor and any spice. The iced water did not taste good.

The taquitos were good from what our party members had said. The refried beans had a weird flavor, but rice was good. The nachos were good. I asked for small, street tacos and received very large tacos. They were pretty good, but huge. The salsa that comes with the tacos was not flavorful.

We asked for cheese nachos for our toddler and he was the last one to receive his dish. They brought us regular nachos with cheese, beans, and olives. They had to remake it with our little man very hungry. He did enjoy the plain cheese nachos.
Overall, pretty good... but only 3 stars for flavor.

Been coming here for about 4 years now. Used to come here for lunches with coworkers when we were working in the office. Food is so good! Service is a tad bit slow, unfortunately. If it were faster, I'd for sure give this place 5 stars.

I always order the Enchiladas Suizas. It's so good, and it's a perfect serving size for me. Not too creamy or overwhelming in flavor. This has been my go to Mexican sit down restaurant since El Burro closed.

Our waiter is always really nice and friendly! He seems to serve by himself, though. So that being said, service is definitely slow. I think if he had some help during the busy times, everyone would be happier. This will not stop me from visiting in the future as the food is really good!

Updated review a year later.

I'm still getting the steak and shrimp fajitas! Soooo good. I was there last week and can't wait to go back! They have outdoor seating which is nice. Cold, but nice the option is available. Juicy steak, perfectly seasoned and cook shrimp and veggies.. what's not to love?!

Ate here with my co worker since we were picking up rental car from Hertz. The service from the two gentleman that worked there was amazing. Loved how they serve the beers in mugs which is very classy!

The food came out in a timely matter and was really good. Very good portions and fresh right out the kitchen!

The rating goes towards my second visit here. I can definitely relate to the other low star reviews regarding the two rude ladies working here. I came up to the desk and ask if they had change for a $50 bill. Without even checking, the lady said no and I said um okay. As I walked off, I could hear her saying something disrespectful in Spanish to her coworker.

I find this very disrespectful and not professional. That made me lose my entire interest in coming back to eat here. I hope management see's this review and address the issue with that unprofessional woman. Most importantly, I hope customers are aware before they walk into this place and experience what I did.

LOVE this restaurant! The food is always delicious and the service is good. It has a very cute atmosphere and the food comes quickly, hot and fresh. The burrito enchilada style, veggie burrito, and fish enchiladas are all fantastic. The complimentary chips and salsa are also great, the chips are warm and fresh and the salsa is so good. Overall, I absolutely recommend this place, I bring friends and family here all the time and we've never been disappointed.
