HH menu
Sasha t.

Heyyyyyyyy you guyyyyys! We were a party of six and they accommodated us swiftly. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The bar is rather large as well With a portion being outside. The place is super active, lively, music was great-fun spot. We started with fresh Guac, paired with fresh chips and salsa. Rachel was our server and she was a true pleasure, the cocktails were watered down but to be expected when the weather is hot and the ice is melting quickly. The watermelon jalapeño marg was mediocre as were the other margaritas ordered. Entrees were steak and shrimp fajitas, quesadillas, chicken fajitas, birria tacos, carnitas, fish and beef tacos. All was good, we enjoyed our dinner and when in the area will be back. They have HH everyday and from midnight to 2AM. Let's eat!

Consistently being one of the best weekend happy hours in the area! Bar area is large but gets busy so if you want a seat, arrive early. Looks like they changed up the margarita list. Rating 4 based on the inconsistently of quality of food. I used to love their chicken quesadilla but recent visits it seems thrown together and luke warm.

Chill vibe. After a long flight and before checking into our hotel we craved some tacos and margs. This spot had definitely earned a five star review. Visually it's very appealing. Comfortable layout and spacious seating areas. Service was top notch as well. We had a a great waitress. She was friendly and attentive. Margaritas were good. I had the regular house margarita. The house made salsa was delicious and paired well with the fresh tortilla chips. Tacos were delicious as well. I had one al pastor, one carne asada, and one Barbacoa. All were excellent. Definitely had a great time here for lunch. I would love to come back for dinner.

This was my first time in el Camino in Boca , and compare to the one in Fort Lauderdale it's bigger with plenty of seating , but its lacks on customer service and friendliness from the servers. It was four people in our table and I ask for simple water with lemon to start, and the whole time I was there I never received a cup of water until I had to get up a get it at the bar when asked for the server name after they realized they messed up they refused to give me a name .. my food a quesadilla took two hours to come out and it was 30 mins after everyone's food . And the receipt for sever name show : zCatering ... I wanted to like it .. but customer server was just a bit disappointing.

Ugh we had a really disappointing experience here. We flew into FL from out of state and arrived hungry for some real food. It was late and there weren't many places open, this was one of the few - it's open until 2am. We decided to check it out. We arrived around 1:20am, late at night, and asked to be seated. We were a group of 5. It was surprisingly busy here, fun ambiance, and lots of filled tables. A young 20-something crowd was primarily dining or drinking here. After asking to be seated, the hostess - Addison - looked a little stressed and said it will be a minute until she could clear a table for us. We said no problem. She told us, you'll need to put in your food orders within 10 minutes / 1:30am bc the kitchen will be closing and they're very strict with timing. We said ok and I asked to see a menu, that way we can place our order immediately upon seating. She handed us all late night menus. After about a minute, she said, unfortunately the kitchen will be closing at 1:30am, so you won't be able to order any food. We expressed our confusion based on what she told us just a minute prior, and based on the fact that she just handed us menus to look at, and she said there's nothing she can do, we won't be able to order food at the table, but she said we could order food at the bar by 1:30. But by this point, she was talking to us with such a sassy and condescending tone. I'm talking: YOU. CAN. ORDER. AT. THE. BAR. With glaring eyes. Wow. Okay. So we went to the bar to quickly put in our food order. After a few minutes, our family member went to check with the same hostess to see if our table was ready and she said she was clearing one off for us. After a few more mins, we went back to the hostess, hoping our table was ready after eyeing that the one she was clearing off was ready and clean. Hilariously, she told us with such a stern tone, unfortunately I'm unable to seat you because we don't seat anyone past 1:30am and it is now 1:38. We all were incredulous and flabbergasted. We reminded her of the facts... we came to her at 1:20, she told us to order at the bar so we did so, and now she's saying we can't be sat?! She said she thought we were going to sit at the bar. We continued to remind her of the facts, and the fact that she herself told us she was getting a table ready for us, and at this point asked to speak to a manager. The manager came and we explained to him what took place. While explaining what happened, he remained completely flat in expression (perhaps he was thinking what did we do?!) and while he apologized, his apology felt more like a "by the way" or an afterthought apology instead of truly and genuinely apologizing for the insanity of what took place and the outright horrific customer service we experienced from the hostess. He sat us at a table and a waiter helped us from that point on. From the receipt, I believe his name is Barry. Barry was actually great and frankly I thought he was better at customer service and had a more genuine apology for what happened than the manager. He's the reason I'm giving this two stars instead of one. So now the food. We got chips and guac. These were okay, the guac was a little too creamy but the chips were crispy so it was a fine starter. We got all 3 late night tacos. $3 each. Tinga de pollo, carnitas, and beef. They come on flour tortillas. They're all pretty mid and coming from LA where you can find $1 tacos from a taco truck that will blow your mind they're so good, these didn't hold up. Their ground beef one especially is the worst of the bunch, it feels very basic and like something someone could easily make at home. The carnitas was the only one I somewhat enjoyed. And I didn't like the flavor of the tinga de pollo at all. We got a guava habanero margarita, $6 on their late night happy hour. It was pretty good and had a nice presentation and color. I was surprised and frankly a little disappointed that the manager didn't take a single thing off our check. We only got two drinks amongst our whole group - one glass of wine and one margarita. And they were happy hour pricing. It would have been a kind gesture and would have gone a long way to have at least comped us those two items. Even if all of us got drinks, it would be the right thing to do to comp us something. I was expecting more. Clearly this place is still thriving based on its popularity when we were there, my guess is it's because it's one of the only places that stay open and serve food late. And the ambiance is quite nice. But the customer service we experienced, disappointing. The drinks are good, but the food is subpar and I wouldn't pay regular price for their food given its quality, I would only come during happy hour pricing. Though I was curious to check out more of their margarita flavors, the customer service soured my/our experience to the point where we certainly won't be back.

The Pull.  That's money right there.  The cheese isn't like some solid anchor.  It's still soft.

I ONLY REVIEW NACHOS I was warned. I didn't listen. Nobody ever does. The server told me the nachos were big. I nodded the way you do when someone tells you a movie is long and you figure you'll be fine. I was not fine. What arrived was not a plate. It was a structural event. A nacho condominium. I love nachos. I review nachos. I could not finish these. First time in series history. El Camino beat me not on quality -- on sheer, historic, unprecedented quantity. You're gonna need a bigger boat. Here's what they get right: they actually know how to BUILD a nacho. Not pile -- BUILD. Every layer loaded all the way down. The person at the far end of the table gets the same experience as the person who grabbed first. That almost never happens in South Florida. Here's what costs them: the brisket. I love brisket. I know what brisket tastes like. This one had an off flavor that's hard to pin down -- not inedible, just not right. Pair that with pinto beans that push everything into burrito territory when brisket is a BBQ protein with its own identity, and the star ingredient lets the whole plate down. 8 out of 10. Go. Bring someone. The architecture is series history. And El Camino -- fix the brisket. It's the only thing standing between you and a perfect 10.

Brisket nachos
Alexis F.

I am the biggest el Camino advocate!!! My favorite Mexican restaurant chain in south Florida. Each el Camino location varies slightly in ambiance but without a doubt the Boca raton location is my favorite! The outside bar attached to the happy hour area is incredible. And the happy hour and late night happy hour is the best that I've ever been to. For the price point and amount of food and drinks you get, it's so worth it. Even when not on happy hour, el Caminos prices are extremely reasonable. My favorite is the carnitas and barbacoa tacos. I also loveeee getting the brisket nachos for the table. That is so much food that alone could fill 3 people. The drinks are amazing! My go to is a spicy watermelon margarita with tajin on the rim. Half priced drinks for happy hours, can't beat it. El Camino will always be a staple when I come to visit Boca.

We came with friends for happy hour and have been to this location before. Our servers, Maria and Melanie, were both very sweet and clearly working hard. They seemed a bit understaffed this evening, as it took about 25 minutes for my drink to arrive after we sat down. We started with chips and salsa. When we asked the manager for more salsa verde, he seemed a bit preoccupied and didn't really engage with us. On the positive side, you really can't beat the happy hour prices! My classic margarita was tasty, though my friend found her blood orange margarita a bit too sweet. We'd love to see the pineapple coconut margarita added to the happy hour menu--it's a favorite! For food, we ordered the carnitas tacos, kale salad, fish tacos, and brisket quesadillas. My carnitas tacos were flavorful and filling, with a nice touch of spice, though I wish they had more toppings. My friend felt the same. The brisket quesadillas were a hit--melty, rich, and delicious. Another friend enjoyed his fish tacos, although one taco had a noticeably smaller piece of fish than the other. He also loved the kale salad, which he said was perfectly dressed with pumpkin seeds, lemon dressing, and a standout cornmeal crouton. Overall, a mixed experience.

Commercialized Mexican eatery on Restaurant Row in Boca Raton specializing in tequila and street tacos. The mixed trio street tacos were decent sized but the pork belly were visually amazing and full of flavor. I dribbled the tacos in the El Camino hot sauce - no label on the bottle. The chips and salsa were a good appetizer before demolishing the tacos. The gender assigned bathroom was clean with a Mexican floor tiles and a rustic comunal sink held secured to the wall by large chains.

My dad is a regular here with his wife. I have visited the other location years ago and while in town my dad brought me here. The vibe was good, the restaurant itself is gorgeous. We arrived during happy hour and everything was reasonably priced, I was able to have a few things and was full. The guacamole was my favorite. The margaritas were top both! I understand why this is my dad's favorite restaurant! Great Mexican food and this is coming from someone who lives in SOCAL. I will be back!

I've been here a few times (Boca location) for happy hour. They really have a great happy hour. (4:30-7pm) The drinks for HH include margaritas, espresso martini, and more. Food items available include tacos (chicken, fish, brisket), kale salad, quesadillas, and more. I love their watermelon jalapeno margarita. Their food is very good too.

Burrito farm vegetables
Angel L.

First off...I went through "Happy hour" for cheap prices, you can be one of hundreds of sardines sandwiched half inside/half outside. If you are going for the drinks, I'm sure you can overlook it. IF YOU ARE VEGAN AND HUNGRY, this place was not worth the price I paid. First, I got the Burrito (honestly, I wish I went to Chipotle. They know how to make a good Burrito.) THE BURRITO WAS CRUNCHY. I asked them if they could make it vegan- best offer was stir fry vegetables with WAYY TOO MUCH OIL, the rice- for some reason, was made with butter. The spices used on the vegetables were SO STRONG (after I asked for mild spice) that I couldn't feel my tongue for 30 min after Eva finally took it away (she offered 2 times, I felt bad about wanting to send it back after 2 bites. I tried to stomach more and I got really bad acid reflux from the spice) she came back to the table and offered to take it away a second time (Probably because she saw I was almost in tears from how I can't taste, my nose is running like a faucet and very quickly questioning my life decisions leading up to this "FOOD") I ordered the veggie Fajitas next. Again, too oily, spicy- but bearable. I was once told "if the food is too spicy, it means they're covering up that they can't cook" for a whopping $37 I learned the hard way. The ambience was basically the bare minimum of what's legally passable as a restaurant. It had tables, an overworked staff that took 20 min to seat us, 20 min after ordering for food and 15 min in between to check on us. This place was overcrowded and way over hyped. Not going again. 0/10 wouldn't recommend. Even if I was starving, I'd walk 40 min to go to Chipotle. At least the burrito will be worth it.

El Camino absolutely delivers for happy hour! I went with a group of women on a Friday, and it was the perfect way to kick off the evening. We got there early and snagged a great table outside by the fire--so worth it. Sitting in the sunshine, drinks in hand, laughing and catching up made for an ideal start to the night. I ordered a Tito's and club soda with lime, which was crisp and refreshing. We shared the brisket nachos loaded with cheese, and they were a huge hit--gone in no time and loved by everyone at the table. We ended up staying for quite a while just enjoying the atmosphere. The place was packed, buzzing, and full of energy, which made the experience even better. It felt lively and fun without being overwhelming. One quick tip: parking can be a bit of a challenge, so give yourself extra time. Overall, El Camino is a fantastic go-to for happy hour, great food, strong drinks, and an upbeat Friday night scene. Definitely coming back! And please remember my tips! the happy hour drink prices are not to be beat!

Ole Camino in boca Pet friendly?

They have indoor and outdoor/patio seating. The outdoor/patio seating is definitely pet friendly.

How loud is it if you sit outside, say during lunch on a Friday? What about inside?

I have never been there for lunch but we are there frequently around 4pm on Fridays for Happy Hour and it is delightful. We sit outside and get great service and it is not loud at all.… 

Is there Happy Hour at weekends? Based on two answers received (Thank You) this is one of the VERY…

Yes from 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm

This place was AMAZING! From the minute we were greeted and asked for our reservation's name to the ending of our experience; it was hands down so great! I had probably one of the best espresso martinis I have ever had. I'm not even joking when I say that. It was delicious. The apps were nothing less than perfect too that we shared for the table. The duck rolls were pretty spot on and that's saying a lot for not being a big fan of duck. We also shared the cauliflower. My main entree was the octopus. I'm glad I asked about spice, because they said it had a kick. So I asked for the sauce to be on the side. Our server, Riley, did it without hesitation for me. The environment was also really pretty for Indian fusion. There was an upside down painting of the Taj Mahal upside down that was sick!

I've gone about 3 times and every time it's the same. Service lacking. Food quality was ok - the tuna always has a slimy texture. Drinks ok. I kept coming back hoping it would improve. My last visit the service was the best it was & the manager was very helpful which I why I give it 4 stars (because it was going to be 3) They do have a really good burger which you wouldn't expect but it was amazing! Another reason for only knocking 1 star vs 2 I don't think I'll be going back to the boca location. I'd rather make the trip to PGA

Unfortunately, someone in management apparently looked at a perfectly good menu item that customers actually enjoyed and thought, "You know what? Let's get rid of that." The potatoes were the reason I came back. Crispy, flavorful, and somehow capable of making any meal better. Now they're gone, replaced by disappointment and confusion. I asked if they would be coming back and was told to write a review. For now, it seems these potatoes have been permanently exiled for reasons known only to the menu gods. The rest of the meal was fine, but it's hard to enjoy anything when you're mourning the loss of what was clearly the star of the show. Removing your best side dish is a bold strategy. Let's see if it pays off. Until the potatoes return, I'll likely be spending my dining budget at establishments that haven't declared war on happiness.

They offer a mix of classic and unique menu options, such as lychee martini, spritzes, ramen, nigiri, and sushi rolls. I tried a few options but really loved the yuzu spritz the most. I had the spicy tuna roll, which was simple but delicious! I forgot to take a picture until I was halfway done. The establishment is clean and lovely, elegant and simple.
