    El Campesino is a pretty decent full-service Mexican restaurant located on busy Cleveland Avenue NW in Canton, Ohio. The restaurant includes a full bar which is accessible from inside the restaurant proper but also has a separate entrance from outside. There are plenty of comfortable tables and booths at which to sit while you dine. The menu is pretty extensive, check out my photos for the entire eight page menu. Upon being seated we were immediately brought chips and salsa. I asked for some queso dip to go with the chips as well. The salsa was pretty ordinary but the queso dip was very delicious. Having not dined here before I asked the server for suggestions. He recommended Molcajete which I enjoyed. It is steak, chicken, shrimp and vegetables and cheese served in a mortar which appears to be made of volcanic rock. The liquid in the mortar was boiling when I received it and continued to boil throughout most of my meal. The dish is accompanied with rice and beans, pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole salad. It is served with warm flour tortillas. It's a whole lot of food for $14. My wife and my mother both ordered El Campesino Fajitas which is beef, chicken and shrimp cooked with onions and bell peppers. It was accompanied with all the same items as my Molcajete. My father ordered the Quesadilla Supreme. It's a huge flour tortilla grilled and stuffed with cheese, mushrooms, chopped beef, onions and vegetables. It was accompanied by rice, lettuce, guacamole, pico de gallo and sour cream. Everyone enjoyed their food. The portions are huge so we all had enough left over for another meal the next day. Prices are very reasonable. I enjoyed my entree but to be honest I found it to be a little bland. My wife felt the same about hers. I added lots of delicious hot sauce and some black pepper to enhance the taste. The service was excellent throughout our visit, it was very fast and friendly. Our server was very attentive from start to finish. 3.5 stars founding up to 4 for the exceptional service and great value.

    Walked out because all servers are wearing gloves and watched them clean dirty tables and then serve chips with the same gloves.

    It was a Saturday night around 6:45pm, so we expected a wait time. While waiting, we decided to…read morelook at the menu since it was our first time there. The first menu had splashes of food inside, so we traded it out for a different menu - same thing. Eventually we realized that the worker behind the desk was supposed to be cleaning the menus (we took the menus from the clean pile), but she was distracted on her phone instead. The staff seated us fairly quickly - within the allotted wait time. We had plans afterwards, so we placed our order as soon as the waitress came to the table. Our chips and salsa were delicious and were refilled while we waited...and waited...and waited. It was easily over an hour before our food came out. The chicken fajitas were good - nice size portion. They came with a side of rice, sour cream and shredded cheese. They were lacking pico de gallo and shredded lettuce toppings which are pretty standard. Refried beans and/or black beans are usually also served at other Mexican restaurants but were missing here. My husband ordered a chicken dish. He said the taste was fine - not something he would re-order though. Overall Good chips and salsa Fajitas were tasty Restaurant floor was exceptionally sticky Menus were kinda gross Wait time on food was exceptionally long (the restaurant was busy but not every table was filled - which was strange since there was a wait list, but maybe they didn't have the staff available.) With other Mexican restaurant choices available locally, this isn't a restaurant we would revisit.

    This place is soo good! I highly recommend. They start you with complimentary chips and salsa. The…read morewaiter was friendly and service was attentive. They kept trying to refill our tortillas chips... be careful to not eat too much or else you won't be able to eat your entree! We ordered: - Fajita Trio - shrimp, steak, and chicken - Cactus appetizer - comes with cheese and chorizo - Guacamole If I ever see cactus on the menu, I always make sure to order it and this place did not disappoint!

    My favorite Mexican spot in all of canton, great prices, great food and drinks, and of course great…read moreservice!! Best place to go when it's nice outside.. sit out on the patio with a margarita and a modelo haha! Have to add that they have THE BEST cow tongue (lengua) tacos out of everyone else!!!! Which are my favorite so I'm a hard critic.

    To preface, I'm not "that guy" that finds a reason to write a bad review…read more But, I don't know whether to blame the waitress or the restaurant for the awful time my wife, our friend, and I had this evening. The waitress spoke no English at all and had a very difficult time just taking our drink orders. My wife ordered a small lime Margherita, and I ordered a small beer. She brought a medium gold Margherita and a large beer (and charged us as such). The waitress had to get help to take our food order (everyone got tacos). My wife's came with cheese on hers, mine didn't. Our friend got the ground beef tacos and they were so salty that she couldn't finish hers. The waitress didn't come back to check on us. When our friend and I went up front to pay our checks we waited 10 minutes without a response. So my friend called the restaurant on the phone and explained why she called. The employee just hung up on her without saying a word. Then they sent our waitress to cash us out, which she had no problem doing. We had no opportunity to speak with management. I would understand (maybe) if the restaurant was busy, but there were 5 tables with customers and 3 waitresses. Was it solely the fault of the waitress for not speaking English, or the restaurant's fault for knowingly putting her in the poor position that she was put into? Either way, we won't be back.
