While attending the Las Olas Art festival decided to have lunch in the area. We were seated immediately beating the rush. Sat outside on a covered patio enjoying the view and beautiful weather. A very energetic waiter came by quickly taking drink orders. Needed a minute to peruse the menu. We decided to order a chips and guac appetizer for the table. The guacamole was creamy and tasty. The chips were crunchy and fresh. For our meal, we ordered the gringo tacos and the Barbacoa both extremely flavorful and easy to manage. The service was spot on, and the decor was very well done. Planning on returning to try other items on the menu.

Our group of 5 enjoyed an exciting lunch during the Las Olas Art Festival. We received outstanding attention from our server-Juan. We started with the Chips/Salsa/Guacamole which was perfectly heated and seasoned to perfection. Moving next to the spiced brisket tacos was a perfect compliment to a classic Margareta (salt rim, of course). El Camino has a comfortable and enjoyable party atmosphere that needs to be experienced when on Las Olas.

Well I was pleasantly surprised at the price of the food considering it's location. Though very busy we were seated immediately. The food was very good. My favorite thing was their Baked Apple Margarita. It was delicious. The atmosphere was great. Highly recommend.

My two friends and I had lunch at El Camino today. Number one, the food is delicious. The guacamole is one of the best I've ever had. Two of us had the three taco combo; we cleaned our plates. My third friend had chicken quesadillas which she loved. The portion was so huge she had enough to take home. The other thing that impressed me was the service. It was the Las Olas Art Festival and the restaurant was packed. They still managed to take your order and get the food out in a reasonable amount of time. Lunch only took about an hour. So the conclusion is great food and good service. I can't wait to go back. I apologize for the pictures. I forgot to take any until the food was half eaten

My favorite spot! It's definitely a must-try. The tacos and margaritas are excellent! Whenever we visit, we always make a stop! The service is excellent, and the atmosphere is very chill!

I got a table immediately upon arriving and our server was super attentive and quick with our orders. Unlike a lot of places, I really like that this location does happy hour until 6pm at the tables too instead of just at the bar. My friend I and ordered an espresso martini and a 50/50 marg. I liked the espresso martini but did find it a little sweet. The 50/50 marg was also good but I would say it also was on the sweeter end. Overall, it was a great experience and I would return here for food. It was full of people but yet there was enough space for everyone to sit and have space at their own tables. I am excited to try out the food here next time, they run GREAT Happy Hour deals with certain drinks being $6 instead of $14 regular price. In addition, chips & salsa on hh is $2, and you can get a lot of great tacos for $3 on the hh menu.

Went with friends to a show at the performing arts theatre and needed a place for dinner after. El Camino was lively! They close late which was perfect. We walked up and were sat instantly. If you have a large party, be prepared to wait. I ordered a strawberry margarita that they made fresh with a strawberry jam. It took forever for me to get my drink. I'm not sure what was going on! BUT it was sooo good! Worth the wait. Since it was taking forever with my drink we ordered the queso fundido and quesadillas. The server said this was the cheesiest fundido he had ever seen! We opted for chorizo on top. Put a little of their homemade hot sauce on it. I dare you! The brisket quesadilla was magical! Used a little of the fundido as well! Great night on Las Olas!

Food was definitely good, service was even better. The waiter gave a lot of good suggestions and the best was the short rib empanadas. We also got the smoked brisket enchiladas, which were really great and the combo of tacos with pork belly, crispy fish and carne asada. All of the tacos were amazing. We also ordered the queso fundido, but that was just ok. We could have passed on that one. Really nice looking restaurant and good air conditioning, especially great on a long day.

While in town visiting my sister for the weekend she brought us to El Camino. Everything was delicious! We ordered chips and salsa with homemade hot sauce. It paired well a guava habanero cocktail. For my main I ordered the pork belly tacos. They were sweet and delicious with the hot sauce. We sat outside on the beautiful patio and had a great experience! Definitely recommended!
