We were a company of 3 Tucsonans craving Mexican food. Sadly, what we got at El Camino was not Mexican whatsoever. My wife had 2 vegetarian tacos, our friend 2 fish tacos, and I a vegetarian burrito. Even though I asked for hot salsa and extra jalapeños, my order was still bland, as were the tacos. It was very disappointing. I know it's not that easy to get it right, but to mess it up so spectacularly is also a skill, I guess. Mexican food is a celebration of flavors and what we got was completely tasteless. What a waste of time and money. read more

Tried this place for a Saturday lunch and the interior is somewhere in between fast food and a restaurant in a Mexican style of interior which feels rustic and real in a way that I really like. No to little not to much and the concept really works out great in my opinion. The food is really good I had the bowl and it tastes very good. Really like that most things such as guacamole and other similar things where included and but something you have to pay extra for such as in other similar places. Really would like to grade it a four star place but not quite there yet but I will most likely try it and gain and will be open minded then. Definitely recommend for lunch. read more

Reminded us of some of the places we enjoyed on California. Simple concept. Tasty and fresh. And the hot salsa was actually spicy which is extremely unusual in Norway. I would like to give them 5 stars but the beer was warm and they still served it, which is unforgivable. (The bin was overflowing and the prices seemed to have just jumped up. Maybe this will be a short lived love affair?) read more

My hubby had a serious craving for Mexican food once we arrived in Oslo which was our final city in Norway and about the midway point of our overall trip. Luckily, Oslo is a pretty international city so whatever type of cuisine you're craving, you can pretty much find in this city. After a quick Yelp search, we found El Camino which is a Chipotle-like eatery where you choose a burrito, tacos, or bowl. select your meat (hooray for fish!) and top with salsa fixings, rice, beans, and guacamole (no extra charge!). I got a fried Fish taco with mango salsa which was tasty; the fish itself was slightly bland (oh hi, hot sauce!) but it's a large portion and fish is crazy crispy. If you need a lighter lunch, one fish taco will fill you up! If you have an appetite, get a burrito - they are HUGE! Employees were friendly and there is spacious indoor seating and some outdoor tables. If you need a Chipotle fix in Oslo and affordable and filling food, El Camino is worth a stop. read more

Pretty great spot in Oslo! Wasn't expecting a Chipotle-like place (Chipotle is a popular fast-casual chain in America that is similar to this), but we stumbled upon it. We wandered inside, were greeted by super friendly people and left stuffed. The menu is simple and easy to follow: choose either a taco, burrito or bowl, and then add your meat, veggies/rice and toppings. No extra cost for guacamole, sour cream or cheese! Cost was about 136 NOK. Venue inside was really cute and comfortable! Would definitely tell people to check it out!! read more

So now I find myself in Oslo, I missed breakfast this morning so I wanted something BIG to make up for the most important meal of the day, I happened to catch this place while looking for another one. I decided to pay it a visit and have myself a beef burrito, kind of doesn't make sense to visit another country and eat food you can eat anywhere back in the states, but hey I was hungry. I ordered the beef burrito with the works, the hot sauce, guacamole, beans, rice and everything else. I would have to say, it wasn't bad, the only thing that they should ditch is the whole wheat tortillas and go for the flour tortillas at least, other than that it was a big and filling burrito, taste was good, the hot sauce they add was hot and not mild then call it hot. The place itself is something like a fast food joint/modern restaurant with the Mexican theme all over it. The prices high for this type of food, maybe it's the area itself, for one burrito and a soft drink expect to pay around $22, I believe that's a little high especially since this type of food would be considered fast food. read more

El Camino - This thing was huge - Mexican Near Me - Oslo, 03

Great spot in Frogner if you miss Mexican food as an American Expat. :) super comfy seating and the food is great.

I've been to El Camino a few times. I'm a die hard chipotle fan which if you've been to both these places you can clearly see where El Camino got its inspiration. The first two times I was there I loved it, it brought me right back home but the last time I was there the rice in my burrito bowl was undercooked. I brought it back up to the counter and explained and they were super nice about it and made me a new one with fresh rice. My last visit hasn't put me off to much, their guacamole is well worth going back for! read more

We came for tacos and burritos. It has great flavor and authentic. They heat up the tortillas which is how we cook them at home. I loved the fish tacos and the pork ones were a hit too. There was a lot of flavor-- the kids want to eat here every day! We will return here and enjoy eating outside again and again. read more

Finally, great mexican in Oslo! This place makes homemade tortillas, reminds me of being home in the states. Super fat burritos, the size of a new born baby! They don't just stuff them full of beans and rice, lots of meat and veggies are involved and what other toppings you choose. Really good guacamole and chips! Very comfy and cozy seating inside and a nice front patio area too. Amazing friendly staff, I think the owners are Australian, how they know good mexican I don't know but I am lovin it! read more

One of the best mexican food I´ve tasted! Their ingreadients are very fresh, feels very healthy to eat. Almost reminds me Chipotles, the mexican fast food chain in the US. I just wish they were closer to Tbane station, otherwise El Camino is the top mexican in Oslo for me. read more

Norway's answer for Chipotle. Love the burritos and nachos. Too bad the prices went up after they opened and become a success. Not sure if a burrito is worth 136,- read more

I have been to El Camino five times. The first four times were perfect! It was just like Chipotle, though a little bit pricey. The last time was absolutely terrible! It was a dreadful experience. I Was waiting in line then I noticed that the customer in front of me ordered a burrito. The girl that made it wrapped it very bad. The sauce was pouring all over the place and it must have been a mess to eat. So, I choose the bowl. I figured that could not go wrong. I was terribly wrong. The bowl was only half full, and 1/3 of the content was a hot sauce that made the food way too spicy. I like spicy food, but this was too much! I could barely finish half of the already half full bowl. I left El Camino hungry and annoyed. I was hurting in my mouth, so bad that I could not tell the people that worked their about the terrible experience. El Burro just down the street sells Burritos for 100Kr, they are delicious and made by people that care about their customers! I will never in my life pay 159kr for something that is half the normal size! read more

Way more than I expected for Oslo. Pretty much spot on Chipotle knock-off (even the chips taste the same). Beware that the hot salsa is HOT! I'm from California and love spicy food and I was dying of spice. Nice taste of home. read more

Wow!! Excellent food. Who knew some of the best Mexican food we have ever eaten was in Oslo! Clean and great service! We'll be back again!

Wonderful burritos with homemade tortillas. Lots of options for fillings.

Being from NYC, I have high expectations when it comes to Mexican food. I've been trying tons of Mexican places around Oslo and I have to say that I was almost about to give up but then saw this place. The first impression you get of this place is as if it's an upgraded version of Chipotle. Their menu is seemed to be inspired by Chipotle. Even the serving bowls and plastic baskets make you nostalgic about Chipotle. But that is where the similarities end. The taste of their food is nothing like Chipotle. It's different. Not saying it's good or bad. It's definitely better when it comes to other Mexican places is Oslo. But I think there's room for improvement when it comes to taste. For instance, I tried both chicken and Barbacoa beaf and was disappointed especially with the beaf. They seems to have put their own twist to Barbacoa beaf by adding some kind of steak or whatever sauce in it and it was nothing like what Barbacoa beaf is supposed to taste like. Their mild and hot salsa needs some improvement too. read more
