Awesome experience! Awesome service! We met an old friend and sat out on the patio. Had some drinks and tacos! It was incredible! Our server Emma was fantastic!!! I hope you get her when you visit this place. The patio is super cute and nice and cool with misters. I tried the mushroom tacos and the brisket! They were awesome and it was taco Tuesday so sweet deals!! I'd love to come back to this place again. It was busy for a Tuesday but that must mean the rest of the menu is fantastic too! Such a fun place! read more

Food was decent. The wait staff was incredibly unfriendly and at times rude. This was our first time coming here and sadly won't be back.

Went for Cinco De Mayo and it was delicious and packed! The margs are tasty and service was okay (probably due to the crowd). Small space in front to sit outside. If you are in the area and looking for some good Mexican, snacks, or drinks I recommend you pop by. read more

We discovered El Camino a while ago while looking for a great new Mexican spot with good drinks, good tacos, and other options. They have a great happy hour and taco Tuesday deal, although the tacos are small and less flavorful than their normal items. The food is fantastic, we typically get the fajita platter and the spices used on the veggies is one of my favorite flavors! The tacos are also good and they have plenty of options for veggie based items as well. The margaritas are great, and I love that they have delicious mocktail options too. Service is good, we've mostly sat at the bar and never had a problem getting quick service. The restaurant is usually quite packed, and they have TVs available to watch sports games, as well as a large back patio for additional seating and good vibes. Removing one star due to the 20% auto gratuity that gets put on the bill (I like to have the choice to tip 20% but still would anyways), and they've made a taco order wrong once, but otherwise great food and a great little spot! read more

Went here after the kids museum. Kid friendly and got seated quickly. We happened to go on a Tuesday which was lucky bc they do $1 tacos for taco Tuesday. I got carnitas, chicken, portobello, and tempeh. The mushroom was my fav. They come with onions and cilantro. If you want other toppings it cost extra. read more

The food here is really good! They do $1 tacos on Tuesday, which is a steal considering how good they are! I've also had the quesadilla before which is delicious. It's always a bit busy, but I've never waited more than 20-30 minutes. However, I've been here 3 times and each time I get a margarita I feel sick after. Perhaps it is the simple syrup they use, but it's just not for me. read more

I've been coming here for 10 years. The menu options have slowly gotten worse and worse, and the drinks smaller and smaller. The menu has been so condensed it's more like a glorified food truck than true Mexican. When I asked if they still had fajitas our waiter (and I'm not joking) literally said the burrito bowl was "pretty much the same thing". As a very obvious Hispanic person I found it hard not to laugh. The 20% community charge is whatever but the restaurant is NOT what it used to be. Overpriced and mediocre at best. read more

Cute spot for happy hour. Seems like the staff did not coordinate tables or orders as multiple staff members came back asking us the same questions back to back which was a bit disruptive. We came for happy hour which is everyday until 5:30pm. Decent skinny margaritas. The tacos were good as well. I had the French onion brisket which I have to say was more brisket than French onion to my disappointment. The whole taco tasted only like brisket and lacked the other unique flavor that I was hoping to try. The brisket was good though. I also had the pescado taco which was okay. It was a bit flavorless and I likely wouldn't order again. Easy to find a spot on a Sunday evening. Would come back for happy hour drinks and apps. read more

This place was amazing! We walked in around 7:30 on a Saturday and got a seat right away. We were brought water almost immediately and the server came right after to take our order. We got the nachos which were absolutely delicious! The green chile was perfect, the chips are homemade and thick. They bake the entire dish which just pulls it all together. It is definitely a must try if you're in the area. They have a great taco menu as well. The decor is woodsy/industrial, really pretty and a nice spot to come have drinks. read more

Had a great time last night at El Camino as part of a work event! Never been before but they have some solid food. They have a interior space with a nice dark wood paneling, feeling intimate. There's a nice big bar and some tables, then a large outdoor patio area. I loved the patio and enjoying the summer evening. Staff was friendly and attentive with the four of us. They were hardworking and helpful with menu advice. We started with the chips and salsa and I got an Ale Camino beer. It was from Ratio and had a nice lager taste. For dinner I had to pounce on the chicken enchiladas. They came in a delicious sauce and the meat was seasoned very well. They were very tasty, but I think I would have rather a green salsa over instead of shredded lettuce. Also, would have loved just a bit of beans and rice, but th e main dish was tasty anyway. Finished off the night with a mezcal margarita which was tasty! A bit too much ice for me, and really didn't have a big flavor. It was still tasty, and did the job! Overall I'll definitely consider eating here in the future when I'm back in town! read more

I'm not quite sure what it means for somewhere to be a "Community Tavern" but I had a blast at El Camino. Maybe it has something to do with their 20% charge. I came here on a date some weekday evening and got seated immediately. We ordered guac (delicious!) and I personally got a massive tray of Green Chili Nachos. They were LOADED and tasty. I would definitely order those nachos again. Got a few margaritas as well. Can't exactly remember which ones, but they were alright. Parking in this area is often challenging as always. I got lucky and found a spot right in front. Customer service is fantastic. I saw they have a Taco Tuesday menu. Great if you love street tacos. Would come here again. read more

Definitely a go to for happy hour and if you're just feeling some good Mexican food! I have been here a couple of times now since I live in the neighborhood. I would recommend a margarita and some tacos and also why not add some chips and guac or salsa:) I got the single tacos so I could mix and match and try different ones. The atmosphere is great and they have TVs for anyone who wants to catch a game. The staff is also extremely friendly and helpful. You can bet I'll be back! read more

The atmosphere and food was exceptional. Service was friendly and great! We are here on Feb. 3 rd, it was 70 outside so we happily sat outside for our delicious meal! Thank you! read more

El Camino has the best Taco Tuesday specials in the city! All their taco's are a $1 and the service is exceptional. Get there early, cause they get busy! I do wish they put less ice and more margarita in their drinks and bring back their drink specials on it too. But still amazing. I'll be back! read more

Amazing happy hour deals here! We all just kept ordering dishes of the happy hour menu & put together a random lunch and it was so fun. I am still thinking about the chorizo corndog and how I can steal that recipe. The corndog was so good that after having one, I ordered another. I had a taco as well which was delicious and tried almost everything from the HH menu. Really solid food, wide variety on the menu, and quick service. My only complaint is that the ginger pinnacle marg didn't really taste at all like ginger and I had been really excited to try their ginger infused tequila! read more

I want to come back to try different things off the menu -- based on the brisket and veggie curry tacos, I'd give it 3.5 stars. The veggie curry taco was really good! I liked the pieces of sweet potato, which gave it a nice sweetness. The brisket taco was disappointing. It was overly acidic and kind of sour tasting. There were no discernible plantains -- the element I was most excited about. The prices for the tacos are kind of high for what you get (almost $6 for the small, aforementioned brisket taco), and they come out on communal plates which gets unwieldy with large groups. I'd come back to try other items on the menu, or more veggie curry tacos! read more

It's the best place in town for Taco Tuesday. Solid food and across the street from Sweet Cow so I can get my fix after form $1 tacos. What more could you ask for than cheap drinks and tacos followed up by a delicious ice cream cone? read more

YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE!!! We had - the cauliflower app - Tempe taco - chips and salsa - mushroom taco - shishito peppers - plantain,banana dessert thing - corn churro donuts I will be DREAMING about this meal for the next year. This ambiance is perfect for a girls night or date night James, is an absolute angel and I will never doubt him when it comes to food ever again. Best service I have ever received at a restaurant.

Highly recommend this place Came here on Tuesday and enjoyed the amazing deal. My favorite of the night was definitely the carnita taco with a sautéed veggie side. It's not porky and is full of flavor. The brisket was a bit too salty though, so I would just stick to the carnita next time read more

Came here for the first time about a month ago and forgot to write a review! It was a Friday night. The lady and I were hungry and indecisive. We searched Yelp for Mexican restaurants for far too long. Then we looked at each other and said, "We've walked by El Camino a million times and haven't been yet." The lightbulb turned on in our heads. We jetted over to El Camino. When they say "community tavern" do they mean it. This place was slammed. You'll notice the tables are close together. If privacy is your thing, this might be the best place for a romantic evening. If partying is your thing, this might be heaven on earth. The close tables reminded me of bars and cafes in Europe. A can of Calidad is a win in my book. We started with the Chip Dip Trio (guac, queso, salsa) and we both were fans of all three. Touché. Normally two out of three will be up to par. They nailed it here. When's the last time you ordered Fajitas? That's what I asked myself, too. I'm really glad I hopped back on the Fajita train. A sizzling plate of grilled chicken and veggies grabbed the attention of the entire restaurant. Served with flour tortillas and a giant plate of accoutrements like rice, beans, pico, guac and crema. Good lord, this was an epic portion for $15. Other than the chicken drying out (just a tad) toward the end of my meal, this was a textbook fajita plate. Busy restaurant in the heart of the Highlands. Now I can see why they are a community tavern style restaurant. Will definitely return with a big appetite! read more

The food was very good, but the place feels very cramped and loud. Our waiter was markedly unfriendly and did not make us feel welcome or taken care of, which made the experience even more stressful. Being forced to pay a mandatory 20% tip (described as a "community contribution") on such careless service left behind a bad taste in the end. I wouldn't go back. read more

I review service. I review food quality. I review drink specials. But, sometimes, there is something more. They call themselves a "Community Tavern" and I agree. You feel it once you walk off of 32nd Avenue (fun street to do other stuff after your excellent experience here) into the establishment. It oozes Community. We always get fantastic service. We always enjoy our time. We love the bar seating. Mark was our most recent bartender. I always subconsciously ask for an elevation of typical "service" (I can get that at most places) and Mark delivered that. Somehow, even though I am the self-appointed king of mac and cheese, I had never had the mac n queso here. It was delicious! Wife had the green chili, and no complaints. Then, let's talk about the hot sauces. Happiness: they have house hot sauces. Sadness: They are down to three (from four). But, if that is my complaint, then all is good. Want a small place that is friendly, has great food, and is in a cool part of town? Boom goes the dynamite. This is that place. Definitely recommend, and see you there (actually a good chance of that). Now get off my lawn (movie reference). read more

The food here is fantastic and the service is amazing!!! James is the best! Highly recommend Taco Tuesdays.

Came here for a girls night with my friend as we were craving margs, and it did not disappoint. We both got hibiscus margs that were so tasty and honestly pretty refreshing. We each got two tacos and chips and salsa, which ended up being pretty filling. We went on a Friday night and there was a short wait but we got in even earlier than they had originally estimated. The place itself is cute, and we got to sit next to the window and watch all the happenings on the strip of businesses outside. I actually really love this area. Can't wait to go back. read more

$5 taco Tuesday was the reason why we tried El Camino community Tavern and it will be the reason we go back! Paul and I picked carnitas and chicken, both fire options. The meat was shredded and juicy, the tacos were warm and perfect street style size. We also got the queso guac salsa with chips. Very satisfied! read more

We went back for brunch today ( about a week and a half after my original post). I'm happy to report that everything was much better this time. We sat in the back in the little outdoor garden type area. They had different music than the main area. So glad they had shade cuz it would have been a scorcher without. We had a lovely waitress who was super sweet. We ordered mimosas, coffee and breakfast queso to start. It was really good! The mimosa ratio was perfection for the price. The breakfast queso had little bits of bacon and all sorts of deliciousness. What surprised me was the beans in the queso, could have gone without but that's just my opinion. My boyfriend ordered the breakfast burrito and I had the breakfast quesadilla. Both were really delicious and big portions!! We both had leftovers (that we weren't able to take home sadly. Overall this was such a better experience than my 1st time here read more

Incredible service and food. Ambiance and music volume is perfect for casual dining. 11/10 would recommend

The nachos were out of this world! Every chip was covered in cheese and toppings, making every bite consistently delicious. I got the nachos without any meat on top and it was still a good amount of food. I forgot to take a photo of the tacos but the BBQ mushroom was my favorite, I'll definitely be back for more of those! The shrimp taco was also delicious. The shrimp was not over cooked and the toppings paired well. My husband got the brisket taco and absolutely loved it. We are definitely adding El Camino into our rotation of restaurants! read more

Great service, drinks are delicious and my absolute favorite food there are the dessert donuts, like corn fritters with powdered sugar.

Loved the creative menu. The Mac and cheese was creamy and fresh. Vegetarian chili was good. Nice service and outside seating.

A service charge note for management that I hope they see. I'm local and do takeout frequently. I would probably come here once a month except for your mandatory 20% service fee. It's wrong to charge 20% of someone who orders online and walks or drives to your restaurant to pick up a bag. Pickup orders don't take up real estate and require lengthy table service from multiple employees, yet you're asking takeout patrons to subsidize those costs. It's not OK, and you won't have my business. It's Los Carboncitos for me instead. read more

More vegetarian options than vegan! We've mostly gone for Sunday brunches, never really had an issue getting seated immediately. They don't do bottomless mimosas but pretty good deals on cheap mimosas. Great artwork on the walls for sale usually. read more

Always carving tacos! One thing I hate about this area is the parking, but I lucked out and found one right in front. We sat at the bar. This is a cute and cozy place. Our service was ok, when asked what she recommended she told me everything is great. This is the one answer I hate when asking questions. When asking about tequlia she was very broad and said she has too many options and to look at the menu. I asked because I didn't want to look at the menu. It wasn't that busy for her to be so short, if it was busy I would ubderstand. For the food, we ordered the enchiladas with green sauce. This was okay- nothing special. The tacos were also okay. The hot sauces weren't very spicy, and the green chili I had to try wasn't my favorite either. I would maybe come back to taco Tuesday And give it another try. read more

I can't say enough great things about El Camino. Food is amazing and the service is always on point. I have been a Taco Tuesday lover for the past few years, but am super excited to try out their brunch and mimosas on the weekends. Ambiance is lovely. I recently went there with my friends and James made our dining experience one of the best nights out we've ever had! Thank you El Camino for being 5-stars every time. read more

You have to come here for their taco Tuesday night!! $1 tacos all day every Tuesday, literally can't beat that deal. Their chicken taco was by far the best we tried, the meat was super tender and the flavors were on point. I would skip the mushroom taco though. We also loved the indoor seating area but don't sleep on their outside patio, it was super cute and heated! Definitely give this place a try. read more

El Camino - Chicken and chorizo tacos (left platter), brisket and carnitas tacos (right platter), mushroom tacos (bottom platter) - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I've dined here a couple times in the last month and had great experiences both times. Ironically I've also been seated at the exact same table both times too. For starters the chips and trio of queso, guac and salsa is a must have. Anytime a restaurant brings warm tortilla chips, I'm in all the way. The first time I tried the cauliflower tacos because I've never had that before. I like cauliflower to be fried and not flash fried as this seemed to be. The flavor was good but I ended up picking out half the cauliflower to be able to hold the taco in my hand. The second time I got the spinach and mushroom enchiladas with green and red chili. I really liked this dish and thought it was a well done vegetarian option. Customer service is fast and really friendly. Plus I really appreciate that they check vaccine cards. The hubs and I will absolutely be back. read more

This is a really great place for a lunch or dinner meal. The restaurant is so nice and in a good location. The parking is not great in all honesty. However you can go into the neighborhood and just walk there so not sure if that matters to many people here. The food was pretty large and a good sizes. The deals are normal but not amazing or great just normal. My sangria cost 9 dollars while my burrito cost 16 due to me adding the cheese if I hadn't done that it would be 13 or so. The prices are a tad higher then other Mexican restaurants around here however for this location the price of food is pretty on par. Now as for how it was my meal was great and full of flavor and just hit the spot great. I ended up taking some home. My sangria was also pretty good I'm not sure if the mixture they are using but it taste just a smidge off. I've bartended for years so I'm very picky on drinks and how places make them. I would say yes the sangria go ahead and get but it's not traditional by any means. The margarita my friend got was just no. Absolutely no. It was and I quote tequila with soda water taste. It was not good by any stretch of the imagination. So pass on the margaritas at this place. Overall a really great place and really chill atmosphere! So definitely try it if you are in the area. read more
