Amazing food! The Chilaquiles were amazing! The smothered breakfast burritos are huge and quite good! Low-key stars of the show are their French toast and pancakes!!! For regular no frills not dressed up for social media breakfast these are hands down some of the best in the state! Service is great especially cause it can get a little hectic and the place is really just what I was looking for! read more

This little Mexican style restaurant is an Aurora lunch staple. The food is good and relatively inexpensive. They have all the regular dishes you would expect including burritos, tacos, enchiladas, and the sort. But in addition you can get a torta or even a hamburger. The staff is very friendly and personable and speak both English and Spanish. I personally like the torta de milanesa. It's a thin chicken fried steak on a Mexican style sandwich roll topped with lettuce, tomato, jalapenos, and avocado. Super delicious. The burritos are a good go to for me and have always enjoyed them. Get them smothered with green chili and a bit of hot salsa on the side. They come with lettuce, tomato, and sour cream. All around a good place to eat. read more

Mom and pop Mexican spot loved by the community. They are family run and treat their customers like family as well. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. I definitely recommend coming here if you're in the area! read more

Food is delicious! Especially the enchiladas. Food is inexpensive and servers are very friendly, especially Ms. Patricia.

The menudo is incredible. One of the best kept secrets. I debated posting this review because I don't want everyone to start coming here lol

El Camino is an outstanding family establishment. They make menudo that is like my grandma's. The soup is so good and is a must for a cold. I have been going there for 26 years and will continue as long as they are open. They are friendly and caring. Please join me in keeping outstanding family business like El Camino around. read more

I just ordered a Barbacoa burrito from El Camino. The meat was well seasoned and warm on a rainy day. I added sour cream and cheese and with tax it came to about $8.60 which I thought was a little high, but it hit the spot for what I needed read more

I can't say enough about El Camino restaurant. 18 years ago, we moved to Aurora, Colorado from southwest Texas. We didn't know anything about the area at all, a co-worker of mine recommended El Camino restaurant. A small Mexican restaurant where they serve good meals at a very reasonable price. I took my family that same weekend and we were amazed at the size of the serving portions and the food was great. We have tried other Mexican restaurants and in my opinion they do not compare. Our family is made up of Mexican and Irish heritage so we know exactly the taste that we enjoy. The customer service is very friendly and we always feel right at home. Normally, I order the menudo and the rest of the family usually orders different meals, which I have to say that we have never been disappointed. The menudo is great, brings back memories of when my mom used to make it at home. The Taco salad is one of the best we have ever had, the portions and flavor of the Carne asada cannot be compared. About 3 years ago, we decided to move away from the area to Colorado Springs and have tried other Mexican restaurants there but can't find one that even compares, so we make the trip at least once a month to Aurora to have some great food. You have to understand that this restaurant is not fancy and their meals are not set for presentation. Their meals are just as what mom used to make. Great food at a great price. read more

Not fancy, but friendly and very good service. Liked the carnitas tacos, also had a combination that was good quality and a good value for the price. Not close for us, but we will be back next time we are in the area. read more

I was in this part of Aurora for work about a month ago. The guys we were meeting with us were nice enough to invite us to join them for lunch. They're regulars at El Camino, so we happily tagged along. Servings are huge, and cheap! I had three chicken enchiladas with red sauce for about $6-- the chicken itself was a little dry, but the sauce was great. The chips were nice and warm, and the salsa was quite hot but not super flavorful. The burritos looked like a good choice. There's a distinct lack of ambiance at this place, and I'm not sure how clean it is, but with limited options, I'd come back for enchiladas again. read more

This is a nice little family-ran restaurant. The food is decent & the people running it are friendly. The service is fast even when their super busy at lunch. Their prices are also good, 90% of their menu is under $8. I never seen any unsanitary conditions here in the 30 + times I've ate here. read more

Live in the area and was craving Mexican food and a margarita, well unfortunately they only have the food aspect. No liquor unfortunately, but that wasn't a huge deal I saw past it. Menu had a ton of options and I saw guacamole reasonably priced at 2.50 for a "large" order.. well these have to be some of the most boring Chips I've ever seen/tasted, and the guac lacked any real flavor other than, well, avocado. Ordered the burrito de Barbacoa with rice and beans, smothered in green Chile. The barbacoa was good! However the burrito was really small for 8.50, and the green Chile was watery and had absolutely no flavor. The reason I'm still giving three stars is because the service was great! My drink was refilled instantly and I never had to wait on my server. Can't say I'll return, but if I do I wouldn't get a burrito again. read more

Next to El Pelicano is a small hole in the wall that serves typical Mexican platters: enchiladas, chili rellano, and tacos. I stopped in today for lunch and was not WOW'd at all. The chili rellano lunch tasted bland, the gravy poured over the rellano tasted like the enchilada sauce you get from a can. Everything was just bland and maybe that is why the place was filled with old gringos. read more

Such a great restaurant in my opinion! 5 stars from me!! The food is amazing and the people are great. Every time I go to El Camino, I never have a problem and oh my the food!!! read more

The food is cheap, but nothing special!! Then at the end of the meal, we spotted what quite possibly was a cock roach crawling under the table. read more

Atmosphere looks unclean. Food was luke warm. Taste was unflavorful. I could have opened some cans of La Victoria and microwaved it on high and it would have tasted better. Not sure why anyone would go back after tasting this stuff. read more

I love it. We go there twice a week since it's close to work. Pretty cheap but good stuff. Smothered bacon breakfast burrito with a sidecar beef taco. read more

My husband and I love this El Camino!! We would go there several times a month when we lived close. There food is So good and the service is GREAT. My husband and I would go for lunch and we would have More then enough time to order eat and get back to work on time. I would Highly recommend this Little yet amazing restaurant to Anyone...... And I have. read more

I've been going there since 1996. It's a hole in the wall but the Mexican food is authentic, cheap and huge portions! I know a Mexican restaurant is good when you see the old school, Spanish speaking Locals there all of the time! That's this place. Nice wait staff, great food. Just fed 3 adults for 25.00 and it was yummie and filling. I don't even live close to them anymore, and our family will still take the trip, just for their authentic, real deal, Mexican food! read more

Nada Nuevo ! Nothing New !The enchiladas Dinner with No Taste at all, same with the Burrito. the Crew are nice that is good though .

The food is fine for what it is. On par with Armadillo or El Chubby's. You could probably do better at home. The place is a small hole in the wall that does a few dishes well and some not so well. Find what you like and stick to it. Service is good and fast. Prices are 6$ and up for most plates. You can get breakfast burritos a little cheaper. I've never had a problem at this place. read more

Stumbled upon the "la casa de el Camino", we sat down at the bar and was promptly approached and asked what we like to drink. We both order a great chocolate porter it was creamy with mocha-chocolates flavors, this was wonderful. Then we ordered the queso $6.50 a blend of melted cheeses served with fresh jalapeno, cilantro, and your choice of ground beef, chicken, or pico de gallo on the side With fresh fried chips and Homemade guacamole $7.95 which was creamy with a little spice from jalapeno, lime, tomato and salt I proceed to order the Shrimp tacos $9.50 -fresh shrimp, grilled Poblano peppers, onions, and Manchego cheese. Topped with avocado and cilantro and arugula and served with a cilantro lime cream. I also go a dish of homemade hot sauce. My friend got the Tilapia tacos $12.95 -three corn tortillas heaping with grilled tilapia and shredded cabbage, topped with Queso fresco and served with chipotle aioli on the side. The tilapia was fried crispy hot and wonderful. We had a second round of beers, the same thing there were very good, it took us a while to finish all this food. Our service was great the lady new the menus and was comfortable explaining the menu too use. I would go back in a heartbeat read more
