Our favorite menu item is Chile Poblano, Rice, and Beans. Great value for the price. We either go there or order takeout about once a month. Have had a good experience every time. Love that they include chips and delicious salsa in the price of the meal. I don't mind waiting for my meal because they refill the chips or salsa until you say, "Stop, that's enough." The seating has cushioned booths. read more

Well let's start with I would only go here if I had to- today I had to. After a school event the girls swim team, they wanted Camino and so we went. My husbands who is Hispanic said this is the least Mexican food he's ever had. I can say that the only good plate was my daughter's shrimp plate. My taco plate tasted like pork barbecue made in a crockpot with barbecue sauce, scooped into a corn tortilla that didn't even hold up. It totally fell apart had to eat it with a fork and decided just to gift the rest to my husband because somebody had to eat it. The service was good and the place was nice and clean that's all. read more

Camino Real - We got the mixed double fajita which is band it was delicious! Great size portions and very tasty! - Mexican Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

I do like Camino Real... but the real "problem" is that there is no consistency in service & the quality of their food. I've come here several times. With big and small groups. They are very accommodating with large groups which is great. They have plenty of parking outside. Service is great most times. The food a very authentic which I'm I appreciate. The only "negative" is that you can either have a great experience or catch them on the wrong day and have a not so great experience. read more

Love love love the guacamole casero! And the nachos carnitas made with marinated pork and quseo and grilled onions are to die for. Service is great and friendly. Love the festive ambiance as well. The restaurant is large enough that we rarely have to wait. read more

Note: my family and I love Camino Real and are regulars on DoorDash and visit the restaurant whenever we have guests in town. HOWEVER, on March 9, I was personally shamed by 2 front desk women as well as the manager for bringing in my service dog. They requested a vest and a certification card - ok if I wanted to buy fake items on eBay, but that is NOT what title III of ADA (federal law) requires. There are two questions 1) is it a service dog, 2) is it trained to provide a service to you. I explained this first to the hostess then to a second front desk staffer and finally to the on-duty manager. This is not our first time dining in with my service dog in the restaurant. All if this scrutinizing and embarrassment happened in front of other guests while I was respectfully showing the staff the ADA.gov website online. I was mocked and harassed and it was a sad situation. We ended up eating in the bar area with my dog on the floor where he could not see my face or properly smell my breath. I'm hopeful they review the law and train their staff to be empathetic to those who need a service dog to keep them out of danger. read more

Great Mexican place that rarely disappoints. We come about 2-3 times a month and frequently enjoy takeout as well. It has standard fare with all the usual suspects on the menu. read more

The service is grate, they are all so nice and for your birthday they put a SOMBRERO ON YOUR HEAD!!!. so overall this place is great, I would come back.. =D read more

Host too busy gossiping instead of greeting people at the door. Birria tacos were BURNT and flavorless, nachos were also bland. i wouldn't feed that bs to my dog. I had a bad first experience but gave em another chance and was reminded why I could've went to Taco Bell for all that. This was the most low quality Mexican food I've ever had. If you like burnt tacos and consumè that taste like hot dog water you would LOVE it here. read more

The food is pretty good at this location (I also frequent the Camino Real in Smyrna, TN) and the servers have always been quick and gracious. read more

I have used this Camino Real many times to cater events for me and they do a superb job. The food is always excellent and guests are never let down by the quality of food they put out. The price is also very good. I would truly recommend them to anyone looking for a good catering partner for events small or large. read more

I have eaten here plenty of times. I have no problem with the food or service, it's usually been good. My problem is with this particular restaurant not answering their damn phone. Twice, I have tried to place orders for pick up and it just says busy. I tried like 25 times over a 15 minute period both times. There's no way they are always that busy. I have placed orders with other Camino's around town, off of Church street and Cason lane with no problem. I actually went down to the restaurant to ask them what is going on with their phone. I get told that it's on, but then some lady slips it out of her pocket. They obviously have the phone off and aren't taking to go orders. You can't place an order online either with this particular restaurant. I'm never going here again or any of the Camino's in town because of this reason. They apparently don't want your order if you want to pick up. Management here is apparently lacking. read more

It was pretty okay. Not awful and not the best. Just typical Murfreesboro Mexican food. The fajitas Hawaiian were sooo salty. The burrito good. Huge portions!! The chips were stale.. and I think store bought. Little bummed. Would try again. read more

This restaurant was built in record time. It was very crowded the first few weeks after opening, so I avoided the place. After all, there are at least 2 or 3 other sister restaurants in the Boro! The interior is very nice and modern. Mexican motif paintings and decorations are mixed in with the lighted emergency exit signs and flat screen TVs. I did not mind because the World Cup was on and everyone was watching. The service was punctual if a little impersonal. The basic frozen margarita was very good and they have several ways to upgrade with higher quality tequilas. The Michelada beer drink was tasty and better than I've had elsewhere in M'boro. I thought the avocado dip was straight from a package until I felt the avocado stem in my mouth. The Ceviche was served in a taco shell bowl and was served with crackers. It was fresh and mild so I felt free to turn up the heat with some hot sauce. The rest of the menu is extensive and we will definitely return. Remember that this is americanized mexican food and not authentic mexican food. We needed a Mexican restaurant on the north side and now we have one! Bienvenidos al barrio! read more

Stuffed Poblanos a disappointment! I was looking forward to this dish, Stuffed Poblanos Reals, but when it arrived I couldn't find the Poblanos! It was described as "Poblano Peppers stuffed with steak, shrimp and chuck covered with cheese". What I received was a soupy mass of the above ingredients on top of two shriveled peppers! Such a disappointment. read more

Camino Real - Bean dip, burrito, enchilada, rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Has become my favorite Mexican in the Boro. This particular location is consistently better than the others in town. Fajitas are always seasoned well and salsa is excellent. Try the el Camino dip - it's excellent! read more

After trying to get dinner at two restaurants that were out of some of their main menu items, we ended up here. Again. This place has always been delicious, reasonably priced, with outstanding service. We were delighted to order a Hawaiian bowl and a fajita bowl, and both were generous enough for us to have leftovers for lunch the next day. They were so delicious! read more

My whole family loves our sweet camino family! Everything is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. read more

Total waste of time. UGH!! I have been to this location 5 times since we moved to Murfreesboro a year ago and every single visit has been one disaster after another. This time we arrived and the place was packed so the customary 25 minute wait to be seated. Our server arrived and took our drink and meal order. Our drinks and chips and salsa arrived shortly thereafter. However, that is where the good stuff ended. 45 minutes later, people that had arrived and ordered after us were paying their checks and leaving and our meals had not arrived. We had asked our server twice what was taking so long and he just stated they were busy and that it was cooking. After waiting a little longer I went and found the manager to complain, which is something I never do. As I was returning to my seat the food arrived. Our server again apologized for the wait. The manager never returned with an explanation for the wait. My dinner companion simply stated we will never come here again. Which is a shame because there are so few restaurants on this side of the boro. read more

Very nice and super filling Mexican cuisine. There is the standard Telmex but also several traditional meal options that were delicious. The decor is a nice blend of traditional Aztec and contemporary Mexican with a nice family friendly ambience. We were so hungry I ate the food before taking pictures. Sorry folks but the meals were wonderful and they also get 4starts for a healthy sized veterans discount! read more

Camino Real - Mexican Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

I stopped by this corner of the Camino Real empire yesterday for dinner and just was not impressed at all. The food was average and the service was certainly not stellar. Our server was nice enough when she was around, but those times just weren't frequent enough. I went with my usual "I'm starving" order - the Special Dinner. The Chile Poblano tasted fine, but was cold. The shell on the tostada was so hard that I don't think that bringing a jackhammer into the restaurant would have been inappropriate. The taco had apparently been languishing in grease. Upon picking it up, the mushy shell just disintegrated. The rice and beans were ok, and the enchilada was passable. The real shame was that my favorite part of this meal, the tamale, was flavorless. Usually the masa has a really great flavor, but this just wound up being a bland mess. It's really disappointing that there seems to be no consistency among the Camino Real locations. read more

Camino Real - Special Dinner - Mexican Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

I think the reviews should be based on quality and service, not parking. The parking issues should be a tip. We've been here 3 times so far and the service is great and the food is amazing. (Even when reheated because the portions are huge). The inside has tons of seating so even if all the spots are full we've never had to wait more than 5 minutes for a table. They have an incredible amount of servers and they are always buzzing about refilling water and chips. Regarding the parking. It is a bit tight, but you just park in the McDonald parking lot and walk over. It adds an extra 10 steps (which you'll need to help burn off the queso). I recommend the Nachos Pastor and shrimp tacos, but I hear the shrimp cocktail is awesome too. read more

Camino Real - Nachos Pastor - Mexican Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

We have eaten here several times and have enjoyed the food just fine. I have a habit of ordering too much food. The last time I was here, I think I ordered the special dinner. It was the equal of three meals. Today, I ordered the Parrillada. It was about 2# of different grilled meats. Took half of it home. My wife loves their chile rellenos. Today, she had the spinach enchiladas and loved them. My son had the Burrito La Fontera. It was tasty and "real Mexican". He should know. He is comparing to what he ate in Mexico. This restaurant is a bit out of our way, but would eat there more often if it were closer. Go eat there. The artwork and ambiance are great. read more

The food was good and so were the margaritas. The atmosphere is really good. We were sitting very quickly without a wait that's always great! We received our food fast also. I will definitely be back read more

Been here a few times.. my shrimp is always undercooked. I order the same thing and Everytime it's different.. rude servers that smack their gum and never check on you..im not hard to please. I just don't get why they are so rude read more

Went out for an early dinner with the girls. Camino Real is always a great choice for good food and cheap drinks. I always get the Fajitas Texanas with grilled jalapeños and their spicy salsa. So flavorful and spicy! If you are out with a group, I would suggest getting a pitcher of margarita to share. Yields about six cups! If you want a drink of your own try a Riunite-Rita!! Service is prompt and friendly. Kid friendly. Plenty of parking. read more

Great food and great people!!! My favorite restaurant in Murfreesboro. Mexican goid at its finest.

My family of 4 normal patronize this location 2-3 times a week. They are normally fast and the food is normally hot. We order food take out tonight. My meal had half of a cricket corpse mixed in it tonight. I returned the food and pointed out the insect that was cooked with the ground beef in my entree. I did not receive an apology. The manager did not find it necessary to come address the issue. The rude cashier told me they could recook my order or offer me a gift card. They treated me like I was wrong for having an issue with my food. I wonder how many of my prior meals had the addition of insects since no eye brows were raise when I brought this issues to their attention. read more

During the Virus silliness, I ordered 2 meals for take out! When I got home I discovered the meals were COMPLETELY wrong. I called the manager and he asked who took the order... Uhh, yeah, like I got her name, address, and phone number! Some woman that is working there!!! He never apologized and was ready to hang up when I couldn't tell him who took the order. He finally said he would add my name to a list so I could get the right meal the next time I came in. The following week, I called to place an order - and the lady who answered didn't have my name on the list and couldn't help me! She said I could call back in an hour and a half and talk to a manager... Just what I wanted to do - wait an hour and half to eat. PATHETIC! read more

Always a good meal at this restaurant. My favorite is the Hawaiian Burrito. I always have enough for 2 meals!

We have read all the great reviews for Camino Real and were excited moving from California to get some "real" Mexican food. The first time we went was purely based on the glowing reviews; the second time we dared our selves to go because there is no way we could that disappointed with a place that many love and call "the best in the Boro". Perhaps for disclosure, I should tell you that my wife and I have been eating "Mexican" food all our lives in California, Arizona, Texas and New Mexico, and well... in Mexico. Why the the Dr. Evil air quotes around Mexican? The same reason I would put air quotes around "Authentic Mexican" - because if you actually go off the beaten path in Mexico and get "authentic" food, it is great, and not what you would expect if your frame of reference was Wednesday in the Cafeteria, airports, and Taco Night at your friend Stephanie's house (hey, no disrespect to Stephanie). So you get it- I have a beef when people use "authentic". Now that we are past labels, I won't complain about the parking as others have mentioned. I also won't mention that the process of getting a table (even when it is not busy) is somewhere between the lifeless stare of a 30 year employee of the DMV to a hostage negotiation with a bad phone connection. "Two please" was returned with, "Oh ... umm to eat?" and to which I replied "Yes please, unless there is something going read more

Camino Real - a man standing in a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Awful. Rarely do I order food and not take home my leftovers but I totally would rather go hungry than eat this food. First off the chips were subpar and chorizo dip was cold and had burnt pieces of chorizo mixed in. Disgusting! Every single food item was so bland that I think air has more flavor than the food served here. The server was not friendly and did not seem happy to even be there. Although I must admit if I had to serve this food I wouldn't be very enthusiastic either. Frozen marg was prob the only decent item I had. Oh and the tv on the patio was a highlight. Honestly avoid this place at all costs. read more
