About this restaurant

Hot spot
Good for groups
Great for happy hour

At El Camino, our guiding principle is to exceed our guest’s expectations in all areas – food, beverage, and ambiance – and create an experience that will arouse and excite our guest’s senses. As a team, we are inspired by the culture and the heritage of Mexico. To that end, we are passionate about bringing you an authentic experience not typically seen north of the border in chain restaurants.

We are committed to offering the freshest organic and local ingredients where possible, and we value local, artisan, indigenous and reclaimed offerings. We are even taking the not so typical step of making our own tortillas, sauces, and anything else possible from scratch. The list of craft cocktails is truly Mexican and includes house made sangritas, a curated selection of agave spirits, a diverse selection of craft and Mexican beers. In the end, it is all about sharing the food with the community of people who enjoy it. Viva México!

I booked dinner at El Camino for my sister's bachelorette weekend. We had a group of 11 and were seated comfortably and quickly with our reservation! The waitress we had was so nice and made sure we got our drinks and food in a timely manner. They even made me a great spicy marg mocktail without tequila because I am pregnant, which made my night! All the girls loved the food and the reasonable price to match. I highly recommend!
