You won't be disappointed! – The best attributes of El Camino are its courteous waitstaff, unique ambience and scrumptious margaritas. Since this place is very popular, however, you may have to wait for a table if you arrive after 6 pm. The plates are typically smaller and are sometimes pricey for the portion but are generally very good and add unique flavors to traditional mexican cuisine. I highly recommend the Bartender's Margarita and the Quesadillas! It is a good place whether you want to have casual conversation with f... read more
Amazing gourmet mexican food! Forget traditional mexican food and eat here. – Even though this place is a bit pricey, it's so worth a splurge when you can afford it. I recommend the "Bistec Estilo Capitalino" and the plantain chips and guacamole. Put them together with a mojito and you've got the perfect meal! Service is always friendly and helpful, though you may wait a bit for a table. Go to El Camino during off hours or right at the start of dinner if you can. Or get food to go. It tastes just as good at home. If you're d... read more
Cheers to El Camino – I have been a regular customer of this restaurant for as long as its been open, and it has never failed to satisfy me. The atmosphere is beautiful and interesting and the food is equally as impressive. The salads are fresh and unique and the enchiladas are my favorite on the current menu. The margarita's reputation is not hype, they are fantastic! My favorite way to begin my weekend is with brunch at El Camino. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Great Margharitas – We went to this place on Cinco de Mayo. It was busy, so service was a little slow. But when the food came, it was well worth the wait. We're looking forward to going back for Margharitas. My husband never get excited about Margharitas, but he flipped over these. It was a little pricey for a Mexican restaurant but again it was good. It was 't your typical greasy ricey-beany mexican food. Reportedly very authentic family recipes.
Don't now how I missed it before...NOW I am hooked! – The sun finally came out in Seattle, and took a walk around freemont. I really don't know how I had missed El Camino, but I am glad I noticed it this round. I loved this place, and was sad that the porch area was packed, but we sat right inside from it with the windows open . I had a great house margarita for happy hour and their steak tacos happy hour special also! I liked them better than the chicken tacos, but they were good also. if you are in the area definitely stop... read more
Customer Service Does Matter! – The food and ambiance are above average. However, for me, service is very important when I dine out. My husband and I went there for Sunday brunch on Mothers Day. Although I had made a reservation, the hostess seated us without asking. I offered to tell her so that she might cross off our names but she did not seem interested. We both enjoyed huevos rancheros and huevos mexicanas. The coffee was also quite good.I ordered a bloody Mary (a special treat for me since it was Mothers Day). I was un... read more
Best Mexican in Seattle!!!!! – Let me tell you!!! I had high expectations going to El Camino for the first time and I was surprised to find that my experience far exceeded the raves I had heard. It was delicious and fun and talk about an amazing margarita. I have never had a better mexican meal. The service was fast and attentive the ambience was unbeatable and the food blew my mind!!! The patio in the summer is a slice of heaven.
Tacoshellyeah – I go to El Camino for the tacos. They are excellent, no matter the stuffing. And the margaritas. I'm not so much a tequila drinker (after the mortality-defining college experience) but these - esp the Cadillac - are awesome. It took me awhile to get used to the fact that they don't have the requisite chips n salsa like other Mexican places. But once I tried the tacos I didn't care.
It's been here this long for a reason – I went to El Camino the first week it opened up about ten years ago. The reason it is still around is because it is authentic and good. I had not been back in a few years but went last week and nothings changed; it is still one of the best restaurants around. The steak with cheese enchiladas (capitilino) are to die for. This is not a corporate restaurant and you can tell. The staff is personable and the feel of the restaurant is cozy. The chef comes up with imaginative dishes while sti... read more
