Speed of service was awesome. However when I got home and opened my order the food quality was awful. Where's the meat like it doesn't even cover the taco no cheese then the sour cream just thrown on top so messy. I understand prices going up but why did the quality go down? I saw you guys were super busy but it still doesn't justify me spending $36 on 3 plates of tacos then leaving a $5 tip to get home and open a dinner that looks like this. Please do better in the future.

Bar and restaurant area.

This is an updated review after several return trips for dinner. The service has been utterly FANTASTIC and amazing on each of our return trips while our orders have all been delivered fast and completely accurate. The food has always been amazing here and our only downside was the order accuracy and service during busy times but we must say they seem to have improved on all of the things we found issue with on our first visit. This past week I have probably referred at least five couples, telling them each that El Campesino is by far and above our favorite Mexican Cuisine in the area. Figured it was high time to update our review!!

Stuffed poblanos plate with beef and chicken so good.

the food was good, had no problem with it, other than i ordered the pollo special, it came with 3…read moretortillas and i never once got them. my biggest issue was the waitress. she has brown hair with blonde highlights at the end and it was up in a messy bun. she never greeted us, never smiled, never said her name. she barley talked in fact. she didn't say "what would you like to drink?" she just stood there until we started ordering. she never asked if we were ready to order, after giving us our drinks, she just left, came back 10 minutes later. even after we ordered, it took 40 minutes for our food to come out, and that was only 2 kids quesadilla with fries. it took another 15 minutes for the adults to get their food (which was 4 people) and she forgot two more kids orders of fries. the food was good, but that was a terrible waitress. mind you, this was a first impression. the table next to us that got seated 10 minutes after we got there, got their food, paid, and left, before our whole table even got our order. we will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

I was definitely super disappointed. The chips tasted like they had been poured out of a bag. They…read morewere the kind that when you put salt on them it just rolled off. They didn't have tomatoes, which was bizarre to me. The refried beans tasted like it was the kind that was powdered one mixed with water, terrible texture and taste. I had to repeat my order three times to the server, basically to state that I didn't want cheese or sour cream as I cannot eat dairy I got the taco salad and it was very small. Not impressed, do not recommend whatsoever. Did not taste authentic at all.

This is what a chile relleno is: Chile relleno translates to "stuffed chili pepper" in Spanish, originating from Puebla, Mexico, as a dish consisting of a roasted pepper--typically a mild poblano--stuffed with cheese (or meat), dipped in egg batter, and fried. It is often served covered in a tomato-based salsa, offering a savory mix of melted cheese and crispy coating It is not traditional to use bell peppers for chile rellenos, as the dish is historically and fundamentally defined by using specific chile varieties. The most common and authentic choice is the poblano pepper, though Anaheim or Hatch chiles are also frequently used due to their similar size, shape, and ability to hold a filling. While you can use bell peppers as a substitute--especially if you want to avoid heat or cannot find traditional chiles--the resulting dish will differ significantly in flavor and texture. Unlike the thin-skinned, mildly spicy, and earthy poblano, bell peppers are thick-walled, sweet, and lack that characteristic "chile" flavor. If you choose to use them, consider roasting and peeling them first to improve their texture, as you would with a traditional poblano.

What is it with subpar cheese dips at the Mexican restaurants in Dahlonega? The one I ordered here…read morewas as disappointing as the other Mexican restaurant we tried in town. It was way too watery and had virtually no flavor on its own. Thankfully, I said yes to the jalapenos, so it had some flavor but not enough to make up for the watery texture. Cheese dip should be creamy, not watery. The chips were crispy and the salsa was good. My husband's margarita was tasty. I had the cheese quesadilla, which was good. I wish they had added a bit more guacamole and sour cream on the side as the dollop of each was too small to enjoy with the whole quesadilla. The guacamole was fresh and tasted like it had been made in-house but I wish there had been just a tad more of it given. My husband had the plantains, which is a strange thing to see on the menu for a Mexican restaurant but he was happy about it and enjoyed them. Overall, this was better than the other Mexican restaurant we tried in town and I likely would have given it 4 stars rather than 3 if they had gotten the cheese dip right. We would consider returning if we were in town again, so if you are around, it might be worth a try though I would recommend skipping the cheese dip.
