    Al carte cheese quesadilla

    We ate at El Camino Real, for the first time 8-10-24 for lunch. It was very clean in the restaurant including the bathrooms were nice. The tomatillo salsa had excellent flavor and spice over their traditional salsa. All the food was fresh and came out nice and warm. Our waiter was extremely nice, making our experience a pleasure. We will definitely be coming back for some more tasty food!

    Basic Mexican food. Server was very friendly and food was served quickly. Thought the salsa and beans tasted like they came out of a can.

    Routinely get a great tasting meal and large servings in a nicely decorated, clean restaurant. Love the fajitas Jalisco.

    This neighborhood market, grocery store, resto and family owners have been around Defiance for a…read morelong time. My first encounter with this local gem was over twenty years ago on my first visit to this Ohio town, and it's still around with improvements, enhancements and is still great overall! A terrific family run business. From its jam-packed with a wide array of dry and can goods on grocery shelves, great meats, extensive local baked goods, and a much renovated and expanded restaurant and really nice Mexican-style bar! If you're in town and are in the mood for an ice-cold Dox Equis and/or Jalisco style Mexican cuisine, this the place for you! Their goodies run the gamut from an incredible Pozole to Grilled Chicken delights, to delectable Burritos to mouthwatering tacos, some terrific, refried beans and incredible chips and salsa! I think they are one of the top five Mexican food joints in the Defiance area. Oh, and do your groceries while you're at it. Buen provecho ya'll.

What really bothered me was the surprise 3.5% surcharge they add if you pay with a card. That includes debit cards too. I didn't see any signs about it and wasn't told until the check came. At that point, I didn't have cash, so I had no choice. For anyone wondering, surcharges on debit cards aren't allowed under Visa and Mastercard rules. I get that places are trying to cover costs, but it should be clear up front and within the rules. I wouldn't have stayed if I knew about the extra fee--or I would've stopped at my bank across the street to grab some cash. Just a heads-up for anyone thinking of stopping by: bring cash.

I took a quick look at the Yelp reviews and decided to order carry out for lunch. I ordered a chimichanga with tofu, and a side of queso blanco. It isn't often that I see tofu on the menu at a Mexican restaurant so I was curious about it. It was excellent! The queso blanco was smooth and creamy with great flavor. The rice was flavorful but the beans were very salty. There are many vegetarian options here, more than most Mexican restaurants. The patio is large and beautiful. There were many people taking advantage of this warm and sunny early spring afternoon dining on the patio. The patio features approximately 20 tables, including several larger tables. Although I took my order to go this time I will plan to return with a group of friends to enjoy dining on the patio.

The food is always excellent and served promptly, no matter what time of day you visit. The wait staff is friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. If you're a guacamole fan, definitely go for the table-side guac -- it's a must. Personally, I'm a huge fan of the birria chimichanga; it's always perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Large party, and family friendly! Overall, it's a solid spot for anyone craving reliable, delicious Mexican cuisine with great service.
