We keep coming back to El Camino Real and have never been disappointed. The red sauce served with breakfast burritos was supreme, spicy, flavorful and complimentary. My New Mexican born and raised husband could not get enough of the spicy, velvety red sauce. Service, as always, was prompt, friendly and welcoming. There is obvious pride in what's happening at El Camino Real, we'll be back! read more

The complimentary chips and salsa here are delicous! The drinks comes in huge cups. I ordered a guacamole tostada which comes with beans and rice. The tostado was a bit flavorless though. Order something with meat. Prices are reasonable. The fried ice cream is huge. Didn't even eat the bowl. read more

The food was as always delicious, the service was excellent, waitstaff were very attentive. Although it is a Mexican restaurant that serves a non Mexican cuisine also, but I go there for the Mexican food. Conveniently located close to my residence. Always clean, and there are large tables for a large group. read more

Good food, friendly server, quick service. Favorites ~ green chile & chile relleno If I lived in the area, this would be a favorite stop. I'm sure the breakfast dishes smothered in green chile are the bomb! read more

Something led me off the interstate to find this small trendy Mexican restaurant. Although it only had about 12 tables the place was packed and continued to turn over tables throughout my meal. There was a handful of Mexican women in the kitchen and definitely brought me back to the memory of all the fresh food in Mexico at all the cantinas and taco stands. That's when you know you are in the right place. I had read the burger was great, as many Mexican restaurants have a great burger. I would think due to their well seasoned grill. I had the supreme burger with jalapjalapeños and avocado. It was superb. Moderately thin patty packed with a smoky flavor and a great crust. The smashed jalapeno and avocados were fresh and made the whole thing pop. I can't say enough about the friendly service and atmosphere. Everyone was in such a good mood that you could feel it when you walked in the door. read more

This place hit the spot! The Huevos Rancheros were simple, flavorful and excellent. They're just what I wanted. Green sauce was delicious. The Chile Rilleno was also super solid. Menudo was simple and very good. Tasted like when I had it in Mexico. Young waitress was very nice and helpful. En route to White Sands National Park, this place was a great find! Highly recommend. read more

Great food and customer service. Have stopped several times passing by and never disappoints.

What an amazing place to stop on our way through Deming! Service was precise and personable. The energy in the dining room was exciting, too bad we couldn't stay this time. Our burritos were well done, hot and delicious. Excellent tortillas, too! We'd give El Camino Real a ten if we could! read more

Ok, Georgia boy visits NM Mexican restaurant and find out that home made red and green chili sauce is a bit more fiery than he is used to. That's not saying the food was not good because it was. Just expect some spice. Waitress was helpful in explaining things on the menu and even let us know the red sauce was hotter than the green sauce. Thank you Hatch chili peppers. Restaurant was clean and not overly busy so you didn't have to wait to get seated. It was also nice that it was not loud inside so you could talk with the people you ate with. This was a great restaurant for us to try as we were passing through. read more

Awesome staff and great homemade style Mexican food. I always look forward to stopping in here, best sopapillas !

The food and most importantly the service and staff are excellent! I love red chile and this is a great spot to quench the craving!

Local mom and pop restaurant. Walk in and seat yourself. Stopped in for a quick bite driving from Albuquerque. Server was prompt and polite. Food was hot, ample and tasty. No alcohol. I had jamica. Very cold and not overly sweet. Bathroom was very small, but clean I think they do a good drive through business. Building capacity said 78 persons. But I think that was including the servers and cooks read more

Wow horrible incompetent server today. We waited way too long for our food while others got theirs. I believe she didn't put the order in. She didn't bother to explain or apologize. Then we waited and never got the bill. Good food lousy service. If they'd train these young girls how to give good customer service it would make for a much more pleasant visit . So disappointed read more

Excellent authentic Mexican restaurant. I ordered a shredded beef enchilada in green Chili sauce and it was amazing.

Excellent flour tortillas! Loved the sausage breakfast burrito. Make sure you get 2 as they are small to medium sized. Great customer service. Lots of locals were dining there when I arrived (good sign). I would come back just to get more tortillas. :) read more

OMG! The BEST Mexican breakfast! Chilaquiles were off the chart. Huevos machaca was awesome too. Friendly service

A really nice little Mexican restaurant that is serving up authentic Mexican food here in Deming, New Mexico. The staff was so friendly. We pulled in with the RV and went in to order to go.

El Camino Real - The counter - Mexican Near Me - Deming, New Mexico

While on a long drive going through multiple states a person can only take so much fast food along the way. This spot a New Mexico hidden gem. The inside of the place was so relaxing and cozy and felt like a true mom & pop diner. All the waitresses and cooks were so kind and thoughtful throughout their time taking our order and serving us. I had gotten the chicken tacos with beans and rice and it was not too spicy or greasy and it was not bland or flavorless either. It was the right amount of food done the right way to give my body fuel on the trip. If you have to stop anywhere in New Mexico along HWY 10 this should be your stop! read more

I would have never stopped here had it not been for my girlfriend going on about delicious Mexican good (which we are both fans of) in Deming, NM. We drive between Tucson and Las Cruces enough to want to know about any gems along the way and this is certainly one of them! We had our pups with us, so my Hubs went in and ordered us some breakfast/lunch to eat out in the care. The people that work here are very warm and welcoming and the place was busy with a constant stream of diners. We got our food quickly -- my Hubs ordered the combo plate (taco, tamale, enchilada and chile rellano) and I had the Chilaquiles. There are two big stand outs here -- the beans are fantastic. Yes, beans can be fantastic... these were, and you can tell they are totally freshly made. The Salsa -- LOVED it. As a matter of fact, they gave us this little tub of salsa to go with a bag of chips and we took it home with us. Our food was delicious. Now, the Chilaquiles... many know I am in search of the worlds best Chilaquiles. Unfortunately, these did not win that title which is still held by my Sister In Law ... they were good don't get me wrong but not off the charts. When we come through Deming next time, and we will... we are stopping again and I will try something else. Oh, and we will see if they will sell us a big tub of salsa to go! read more

El Camino Real - #2 - Mexican Near Me - Deming, New Mexico

Total hole in the wall Mexican joint right off of I-10 next to Sonic. What El Camino Real lacks in ambiance (fluorescent lights overhead, a single waitress working the room and handling take out orders) it makes up for in the food. The chips are made in house and lack salt, but the salsa rocks. It's got lots of heat from fresh chiles and that made me happy. I ordered the stuffed sopapilla with shredded beef and the red sauce had a nice warm burn to it that lingered until well after I was back on the road. The beans tasted like they were made by somebody's grandma with love. The server was friendly and was busting her tail. Skip the chains and grab your meal here. read more

El Camino Real is our go to Restaurant. Mom and I have this as our favorite Mexican Restaurant in Deming. The ambiance is pleasant . The temperature is comfortable. The bathroom is small but clean. The over all cleanliness as visible from the front is clean. The staff are prompt with excellent knowledge of the menu, clean and attentive. The food is always delicious. I have never had a less than excellent meal/eating experience. When you make it to Deming , New Mexico Jim Shoup strongly recommends El Camino Real for a comfortable, pleasant and affordable dining opportunity alone or with your family. I would recommend calling ahead for a large group. You won't be disappointed at El Camino Real! read more

We were traveling through Deming, NM and I wanted an authentic New Mexico Cuisine meal for lunch, including some delicious green chilies sauce. We checked local YELP reviews and decided to try El Camino Real based on the glowing reviews about it on YELP. I'm certainly happy we did, and it easily lives up to its positive reputation! I had the Taco Plate with a side dish of a beef enchilada & green sauce. My friend ordered the beef gordita plate. We both loved everything we ate! I will come back in the future when I am back in the local area. I give them 5 stars!! read more

After driving through the state of New Mexico recently, I was in search of a good Chile Relleno. during my recent trip through New Mexico, I stopped at two Santa Fe, restaurants, and was disappointed with their version of a Chile relleno. they were both tasteless and had been frozen at some point. One restaurant failed miserably in their version of Spanish rice. It was quite a disappointment. Fortunately, I stopped in to have dinner at the El Camino real in Deming New Mexico. I decided to give my search for a good Chile relleno another try. I was pleasantly surprised, and not only by the presentation, but the freshness and flavor of their relleno. The egg batter was perfection the meatiness of the Chile was perfection. The Asadero cheese used to stuff the relleno was perfectly cheesy.I had a couple of green chile enchiladas with the plate as well. I have to say this was the best Mexican food I have eaten in the entire Southwest. If you are anywhere near Deming, New Mexico, get off the interstate and try this gem of a Mexican restaurant you will not be disappointed. read more
