The only Mexican Restaurant in Seattle – My wife and I moved to Seattle two years ago and have generally been disguted with the so-called Mexican food available here. El Camino is the sole exception. This is an excellent place to eat. The El Capitan steak is an amazing dish. The person who said they would rather eat at the mall is probably more welcome there too. This is a very friendly place, with good drinks and great food. It's not cheap, but when the other restaurants you have to choose from are equivalent to buying taco... read more
Delicious Breakfast till 2pm - Our Weekend Indulgence – El Camino is an amazing breakfast spot on the weekends - we are always amazed (but secretly happy) that there aren't more customers getting platefuls of tasty and authentic mexican food. We will visit El Camino every other week for our 'weekend breakfast date'. Don't think that Mexican food for breakfast means ground beef and stale tacos - quite the reverse, although they do serve incredible warm house-made flour tortillas with some of the egg and queso (cheese) dishes.... read more
Great service, amazing margaritas – The El Camino has been around long before the recent insurgence of "trendy mexican." They have consistently offered great food and service and in the last year since starting brunch,it's only gotten better. The weekend brunch and happy hour, I highly recommend. The prices are reasonable and the outside patio is a great place to be year round.
Not very good – This restaurant is definately over-rated. It is the first time that I had a chile rellano that was not roased first making it really tough. Although I will say the sauce on the rellano was tasty. Definately not worth the money.
Delicious Mexican & fun atmosphere – Great happy hour menu. Awesome margaritas and mimosas. The brunch is very good, too. Bloody Mary's are my favorite in the city. While the full menu isn't the highlight, I think the brunch, happy hour and apps are well worth a trip here. When the weather is nice, the deck is outstanding. When the weather isn't nice, the happy hour that starts at 2 is the perfect place to warm up after a day of wandering around the city. Friendly staff that remember you when you return, too. Great little fi... read more
LOVE LOVE LOVE - NEVER FAILS! – El Camino is one of my all-time favorite restaurants! Best margaritas in town! Favorite items on the menu: plaintains with homemade guacamole, mussels in to-die-for chili cream sauce, and the famous "Salmon con Tamarindo" - grilled salmon with tamarind sauce served over mashed sweet potatoes and cider chard. Sweet, spicy, hot and salty - excites all your tastebuds! I usually go there with adults, but my daughter loves it - and in fact has her sweet 16 birthday. Might not be so fun with lots of... read more
45 Minutes from plate clearing to bill signing – Until last night, I enjoyed this place. The Mole? It's OK. The ambiance? Better. The service? Well ... when you're paying for your food you expect certain things. In short: it took us 45 minutes to leave from the time our plates were cleared. In that time, the waiter handed us the wrong bill, overcharged us on the right bill, and then told us just to pay for what we had, which was tough because I forgot to memorize the menu. In the end, he ended up passing the situation off on... read more
This place draws crowds with quality modern Mexican food, margaritas and a bar full of beautiful people. – In Short A colorful dining room caters to sit-down eaters who want to hear each other talk. Drinks start strong and get stronger as the bartender learns your name. There are only a handful of entrees served, but taco lovers aren't left out. El Camino gets closer to authentic Mexican than most, with soft-shell versions of the grilled steak, fresh fish tacos and the puerco adobo (braised pork shoulder).
Excellent Dining! – This happens to be one of my favorite restaurants in town- casual atmosphere with character and the most excellent salmon dish in town. Last weekend our waiter, Dylan, was perfectly attentive and gave us great advice on drinks and the menu (to my parents visiting from out of town). They loved the restaurant just as much as I did, in fact they wanted to return later in the weekend! My only request to El Camino is that they serve that salmon dish year round, instead of taking if off the menu in the summer..... read more
