My parent recently moved to Delray and have been coming to El Camino religiously ever since. Although we didn't participate in happy hour today, their hh specials are incredible. We sat for the regular menu and my only regret is not forcing myself to eat more becuase everything was soooo good. We started with guac which is freshly made, and the brisket quesadilla which was to die for. The street corn was super flavorful and the fajitas were cooked to perfection. I was ordering the passionfruit marg and couldn't be happier with it. The place has a great ambiance for anyone no matter your age or background. Our waitress was wonderful and super patient with us as we navigated the menu and indecisiveness. 10/10 and can't wait to return back here
Finally ate there and got a seat for happy hour at the Boca location. I honestly don't get it. The place is always packed. I just had shrimp tacos and an order of chips and salsa. The service was fine and the food came out quickly. I couldn't eat the chips and salsa, just way too salty and gave them to the couple next to me. The shrimp tacos , most probably previously frozen tiny shrimp , were also like a salt mine and slopped on a plate along with inedible rice. I ate 1/2 of one and that was it. I wasn't going to order anything else and left. I know they are successful, but it's not for me at all.
The food and drinks were fantastic! Fresh, tasty and make us want to come back next time we are in the area. We stumbled on this place and loved the decor and service we got from entry throughout our time. We recommend this place without hesitation.
This was a great lunch and recommendation from the YELP reviews! We had the Dos Equis on draft. I ordered a guacamole that was very good. The 3 tacos were very good as well. My wife loved her cheese enchiladas. I got some jalepenos on the side that was minced up that I mixed in everywhere. They had a lot of waitresses and it took a while for ours to come by. She did have very good recommendations. I highly recommend the quality of the food here!
Great time at this El Camino in Delray Beach. Always like the fun Mexican cantina "Day of the Dead" ambiance with the industrial open ceilings and the tubular air condition vents. Rustic farm house decor hanging from the ceiling providing your eyes to happily wander while eating. Met family at the bar and immediately ordered the roasted tortilla chips with their patented red and green dipping salsa. These are so dang tasty and highly addicting. The bartender was a semi-social beast and mixed up a few cocktails with vigor and a qwirky smile. The gender neutal bathroom provided some little details that did not go unnoticed. The strong farm house theme was commendable. The corroded metal sink situated on a reclaimed wood counter was a nice addition. The glossy lime green tiled walls matched the couches throughout the dining room. A shout out to the floor manager, the one with the hipster mustache, going table to table assuring the service was up to par. Fun place to chill with friends.
Still a solid 5 stars, but finally tried the smoked brisket nachos, which were huge and amazing. Tons of brisket. Cheese, beans etc made this a memorable meal. Nobody has ever finished it alone.
Great atmosphere, fun place with good food! Went for happy hour, fantastic deals at the bar and select seated tables in bar area. The Guava Habanero Margarita was delicious not too much heat. Chips and salsa portion was large. Brisket quesadilla was really good. Tacos had a kick to them.
Stumbled upon this place looking for a late night bite. Thankfully they were open and so many people were eating here as well. They have their late night menu which offers a good variety of options. The chips and guacamole were delicious. Tacos were nicely portioned and generously priced. Would recommend as a top place for some late grub. Centrally located and offers a nice atmosphere.
We've been going to El Camino now for 8-9 years so far, Though the staff has changed the customer service is always spot on and the management, especially Maurice is always willing to answer any questions or just chat . The food is very tasty especially the Nachos it's HUGE, The Carnitas are made to perfection and The fish tacos are off the chart. Do yourself a flavor if you haven't already and check them out.
Happy Hour Review Great energy and value. The espresso martini w tequila was on point, chips only $2, and the quesadillas were hot, cheesy, and satisfying. Service was quick, music lively--perfect casual stop for drinks and bites.
This was ok we sat down immediately which was great. And within a few minutes or server created us Gianna B she was very nice. I enjoyed my Guava habanero margarita it had the right amount of kick to it. My mom got a mosquito which she was not a fan of and later switched to a classic margarita. She got the Ceviche and felt it was too salty, chips and quac and Chicharrón(pork rinds). Was ok. Kids had the brisket burrito and they wish it had more stuff felt the meat was to much needed more balance. I had the pork belly tacos but I'm not a fan corn tortillas and it didn't have much flavor. Nothing we had really wowed us.
I love el Camino. The servers at the bar are always so friendly. The tacos with rice and beans are a must, but my personal favorite is the steak fajita. We came here at the end of June and they kept the place pretty cool even with the open air concept.
I only do 4 stars because I don't know what their food is like but I loved my skinny margarita. And I liked the options. The skinny margarita is super limey and delicious. The vibes are cool here. Very laid back. Fun music, lots of people and good food (from what I've heard). Service was great as well. Super attentive despite being so insanely busy on a Saturday night.
Had an awesome experience coming here for lunch and can't wait to come back. I got the Carnitas burrito and it was giant and also delicious. Some of the meat was a little dry, however with their guacamole and sauces that they offer I ended up finishing the whole thing! I also got a passionfruit margarita which was really good and I highly recommend that for sure. The place itself is really nice with the doors open and good atmosphere and their staff was super friendly and was always checking in on this. Overall, definitely five stars and I will definitely be coming back here hopefully soon. read more

We came for happy hour and WOW were we impressed. Knowing they get crowded we came for 4:30 which was perfect. We were sat at a table near the bar which was great as it was inside and had a nice breeze with the fans and AC. Damien was our server and was wonderful at explaining the menu and the concept of their scratch kitchen. For our drinks we tried the classic and guava-habanero margaritas. We ended up liking the classic more just because the fresh ingredients were reminiscent of those we had in Mexico. It was a little too warm out to be doubling down on spice in our drinks too. We ordered a brisket quesadilla and for our tacos: carnitas, chorizo, and crispy fish. For our second round (not pictured), my husband tried the spicy chicken. He was warned the spicy chicken is exceptionally spicy but he didn't think that warning was warranted so maybe don't be afraid to try it if you're not big on spice. We had tap water that they left a large bottle on the table for. Even though we didn't drink too much of it, they still replaced it with a fresh bottle after a while since it probably got warm. One staff member even came to wipe up the water that had sweat off our drinks. Overall, El Camino exceeded our expectations. All of the staff was kind and courteous and the food was off the chart. And those happy hour prices are hard to beat! We definitely will be back! read more

Finally made it to this location after many visits to their much larger spot in Boca... and I get the appeal immediately. Great vibe here. Love the light and openness... right to the street... which gives the place great energy. It was around 5pm and I just barely grabbed a seat at the bar. I was heading elsewhere for dinner, so only had a couple of their excellent Margaritas during happy hour. Watching them fill the small glass completely with ice, there's really a lot of space for the Marg... but they're really good... and at $6 during happy hour, hard to complain. The Boca location is beautiful, but I can totally see why people love the more intimate, party-style atmosphere here. Same great food... like them both! read more
My friend knows one of the managers well who helped us secure a table during the Christmas Tree lighting event, which was very helpful as this business is always packed. Rightfully so as the food is great, the drinks have a good pour, and the service is top notch. Thank you to out server David for helping out our group and making it a great experience. read more

Excellent food at a great value! The chips and salsa were generously portioned, and the chips tasted fresh and crisp. We ordered the pork belly tacos--the meat was perfectly crispy and paired nicely with pineapple slaw. The carnitas burrito was hearty and satisfying. Worth the visit. read more

Stopped in at El Camino for a quick bite and a drink. I ordered the red snapper ceviche and my friend ordered the gringo toccos (I forgot to take a picture of it). We waited about 10 mins for the order. The ceviche had a delicious pineapple flavor that I just loved. The over all beachy vibe of this restaurant was just a mood relaxer and a great way to start our afternoon. read more
I daydream about a trip to Florida and having happy hour at El Camino. Some of the best margaritas around, and the tacos are delicious! We've enjoyed each of the different menu items we've tried, and the staff has been great about identifying what is gluten free on the menu. read more

Server was very friendly and attentive and the food was very good. We ordered a coconut margarita and a spicy watermelon jalapeño margarita . Wasn't very spicy but had a good flavor. The coconut margarita was delicious. It taste like a piña colada with tequila. The empanadas were very good full of meat not skimpy like some places. Octopus was a little bit spicy for me, but I'm a baby with spice.good flavor and nice char . Chorizo quesadilla had a little kick but not much. Surprisingly the octopus was much more spicy. read more
A fantastic busy Mexican bar with an absolutely fantastic happy hour. Every single time I walk by this place, it's absolutely packed with people, both at the bar and throughout the restaurant, so I knew it had to be good. I was absolutely not disappointed. I've hopped in for happy hour many times, with a great cheap menu from 4-7pm everyday, with $3 tacos, $5 quesadillas, and more. The tacos are fantastic, quesadillas delicious, solid chips, and real tasty drinks. The place is always busy so get ready to wait a bit for a table, or try to squeeze in at the packed bar. The staff is really friendly, the place is really trendy, and food comes out quick enough. read more

This is our go to when we are in delray! We cannot find margaritas like this anywhere else, they are delicious! I have tried almost every taco on menu and have also ordered their fajitas. We LOVE their happy hour, it's our ritual lol. Great food & drinks, our favorites are definitely the pineapple coconut margarita and the carnitas tacos! But you cannot go wrong with anything on menu, everything we've had has been excellent. Great service, love that the doors are pretty much always open for fresh air! They don't have much for little kids but have accommodated our little one by offering a plain chicken breast & he loves it! read more
Let's start with WHOA! Just WHOA! This place was awesome, the decor, the service, and the Mexican "Soul Food" hands down delicious. We order across the entire menu, but the Brisket Quesadillas stood out the most to me. They were full of meat and seasoned perfectly. The vibe from Atlantic Ave can be felt at this location, the windows are up/open, there are bar seats facing the sidewalk, and sounds of people having a great time floating outside. If you're in the Del Ray Beach area, give them a try. #HappyEating read more

This is my favorite happy hour spot in Delray Beach! It can be difficult to get a seat since they get so busy during happy hour, but it's worth the wait! Everything I have tried food and beverage wise has been great and something I would not hesitate to order again. I really enjoyed their espresso martini made with tequila instead of vodka. I think it's better this way. I always order the chips and salsa. Their salsa and hot sauce are delicious- the chips have always been hot and fresh as well! With how high the cost of eating out has gotten, it was very refreshing to come to El Camino for happy hour- where all food and drink options are between $2-$6 so you can try multiple items without spending a ton. Everyone that works here is first rate and I have only had great service. I will definitely be back the next time I am in Delray during their happy hour! I highly recommend giving this place a try if you haven't already! You will not be disappointed. read more
