    Beef and chicken chimmis!

    Food and service is THE BEST!!!!!!! Super fast and authentic! Always a great experience!

    Our family has been coming here for approximately 10+ years and we absolutely love it! They have the best Mexican food in the valley and no one is even a close second. A really great family owns and runs this restaurant. Their food always tastes fresh and very flavorful! I typically get our food to-go and they have never made a mistake on our order as far as I can recall. Here are some of our favorite dishes: shredded beef tacos, bean and cheese burritos, bean tostadas, mini chimis, breakfast burritos, sides of rice etc. I would highly recommend trying them out and you will not be disappointed!

    This place has been putting out excellent Mexican fare in North Peoria for many years. Nothing fancy, just really good food that travels well. I have never been unhappy with Caminero's. It's not much to look at, it is pretty small but looks really clean. Here's to many more years of excellent Mexican food!

    Carne asada burrito

    Caminero used to be top tier but now mediocre and expensive. Paid over $17 for this burrito that's more like a tortilla with a side of carne asada. Was here 6 months ago and the price was usually between $12-$15. Not sure why the different price fluctuations.

    Carne Asada Burrito / Chicken Burrito

    Not a good spot. No meat in the chicken (mushy) burrito was all tortilla , umm don't even what know what kind of cheese that was maybe queso never had a burritos like this . Carne Asada had a little more meat the meat was good. Please see the sizes of the burritos they were both the same price total bill $31.00. Had a lot better with more meat n options for toppings there was no taco bar only red sauce no veggies, sauces were watery. Hope this helps.

    Food: 4 stars - We ordered the Carne Asada Burrito, 3 mini tacos a la carte (2x carne asada and 1x al pastor), and a grilled chicken cheese quesadilla, along with a side of rice and beans. Overall, costed us close to $50 but was plenty of food for the preggo wife, our 19-month old and myself. The carne asada burrito comes with carne asada, beans, pico de gallo and guacamole. For $13, I would say it was decently portioned. Before the crazy inflation and shrink-gate, it would probably be a $7-$8 burrito, but at the new, inflated price-point, I wouldn't say it was generously portioned. The mini tacos were decently portioned as well with double corn tortillas for each taco. The al pastor taco was actually generously portioned and my wife was able to make 2x mini tacos with it by splitting the 2nd tortilla. The chicken and cheese quesadilla was a good size, and came with sour cream, guacamole and pico salsa. The tortilla was nicely crisped and had a good amount of cheese for a nice cheese pull from the initial bite. They offer 3 different kinds of salsa - pico, green and a roasted/spicy salsa. The only reason I am giving not giving a 5-star for food is because of their portion size to price-point and the pico salsa which is not necessarily watered down but the flavor is pretty basic. 5-stars for food are reserved for the best of the best. Service: 5 stars - We came in around 7:30pm on a Thursday night and they close at 8pm. There was only one other person ahead of us and nobody dining inside. There was one worker, wiping down tables and resetting the dining area and one at the counter. The worker at the counter was polite and friendly. I told him it was our first time here and he was patient and offered recommendations. We ordered for to-go as we did not want to be the last customers holding up their closing time (although we initially wanted to dine-in). We waited maybe 10-15 minutes after ordering our food and they threw in some chips and salsa for us as well. That was a nice gesture! Ambiance: 3 stars - The inside has an old, authentic Mexican vibe to it with painted murals on both sides of their walls and old, tile roofing above their drink station. They also have a bunch of their awards and accolades hanging on the wall closer to their ordering counter. Their digital menus are displayed on 3 overhanging TVs which is a nice, modern option. It's a small, fast-casual spot that I can see get crowded during a busy dinner rush. Overall, pretty small, basic dining area with a self-serve drink station and then the ordering counter. There's a couple small TVs for viewing pleasure as well, but there's definitely room for improvement with their overall space. Overall: 4 stars! I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic style Mexican food. Most other spots are more of a Tex-Mex or Americanized Mexican food, but Caminero hit the spot for us (food/flavor-wise). We will definitely be back to try other items.

    Excellent as always. Nice staff. Clean. Good price point. They do a lot of phone to go orders.

    Very surprising! Delicious salsa is homemade and the burrito was freshly made and the owners are great very filling

    We love this place! Food tastes authentic and is so good!! The service is fast and the restaurant is clean. Each time I eat here, there seems to be a steady stream of customers either dining in or picking up to go orders.

Our waiter was amazingly effusive and very good at upselling - though I didn't bite at the upsell, I did get a nice mango margarita, which really hit the spot! You can see a pic of it below. But this man was hungry, I ordered a combo plate. It had a beef taco, a tostada, and an enchilada. With just a little bit of rice thrown in for good measure. OK - now here's the thing. Was the food any good? Was the ambience of the restaurant adequate for the price point? Yes and yes! Gotta say I was impressed. And a special shout out to the waiter, who gladly took a picture of us while we were chowing down our meal! Needless to say the waiter made all the difference, frankly - the service was very impressive and the food was pretty darn good too. Oh, I forgot to mention the chips and salsa? Very garlic forward and a nice little spicy hit and was absolute perfection! The funny part of it is that this place was right across the field from where the Seattle Mariners do their spring training - I had brought my mom here, probably 25 years ago as she was a major Mariners fan and wanted to see this place. Of course the restaurant wasn't across the street back then! But what a cool location and what a nice restaurant. Definitely will return when I'm back in the Phoenix area!

    Been to this place three or four times, last night ordered fajitas and when we got home there were…read morezero tortillas. that was pretty lame. this place starts out with ok ingredients, they try too hard. the fajita steak last night was tough, and again zero tortillas. flavors ok, there are many many hundreds of better Mexican restaurants in Phoenix. and while I otherwise really like Fox Concepts restaurants, this one is a bit of a fail that I predict will not survive.

Upon arriving and being greeted we waited an inordinate amount of time to be seated. Chips and salsa were delivered to a large table but we were never told that was our table. So we just went and sat down. Apparently it was our table (?) Strange. We were given menus which were quite worn out, but at least clear enough, and we ordered drinks. Most of us had blended House Margaritas. They came in a beer glass which also was peculiar, but the Margarita was good. The menu leaned toward seafood, which frankly I wouldn't order here. I chose the Carne Asada dinner which came with the usual beans, rice, cheese, large grilled pepper, etc., and I got flour tortillas with it The meat was quite good and the meal as one would expect in this type of Mexican food restaurant. Portions were large. The service was fine. I wouldn't call it overly friendly. Overall the food was good, typical run of the mill fare, yet overall the experience was nothing special. I got the impression they just wanted to close up and go home.
