good enough mexican food for the northwest  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

a feel of mexico sets in as you enter through the doors of this restaurant. it feels like i am eating in cancun. the food, however, is not ultimately authentic. however, i would consider the food edible and tasty in its ownself. i think the mexican food is more mixed into the typical american flavors. regardless, as said, the food is still good.

You won't be disappointed! 4 Star Rating - Very good

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 friends on the back deck or people-watch at the bar. Try it and you'll love it!

Pros: service, drinks, atmosphere
Cons: small portions for the prices, parking, popularity=wait for tables

Amazing food! 5 Star Rating - World class

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.

Pros: Food, drinks, service, outdoor dining
Cons: They are really busy!

Cheers to El Camino 5 Star Rating - World class

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 4 Star Rating - Very good

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.

Pros: Margharitas
Cons: Pricey, but worth it. Just expect to pay a little more for very good food.

Don't now how I missed it before...NOW I am hooked! 5 Star Rating - World class

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 in for a dinner or drinks...I recommend both!
