Camacho Garage never fails to impress. The best guacamole, tortillas, and great entrees were even better than expected.

Our group had an awesome dinner and dessert. We shared queso flameado, guacamole and each of us ordered different tacos. It was great to see beer sold by the pitcher too. Two o& the people in our group had never been and they really enjoyed it.

Overall, the food is great, but the service makes the price of everything not truly worth it. One of the drinks I ordered was $16 and was barely 3oz in size. We then waited over an hour to receive chips and guacamole. Our food dragged behind that for another 30 mins or more. At no point during the hour and a half from when we sat down until we received our food did our server ask if we wanted another drink or if we wanted to refill our water. Our server only came over to grab our plates and ask about dessert. At that point, we were done with the whole experience, so we paid and left. It is highly unlikely we will be back in the future as a result.

Always a great meal at Camacho Garage. The guacamole and salsa trio are great starters, and the tacos (this time, carnitas and carne arrachera) were fantastic!

A fun and casual indoor/outdoor vibe that was great for our large group. We got delayed and were late for our reservation and the team was incredibly accommodating. The food and drinks were super and hit the spot for a large group of parents and college kids. Super friendly staff. Will definitely return.
