Excellent authentic Mexican cuisine and atmosphere. Located on Route 22 in the Jonnet Plaza. Great and quick service. As soon as we sat down at the bar. Our server was very friendly, helpful and attentive. Excellent lunch time menu with great prices and portions. Food came out hot and fast. Delicious flavor, easy to tell fresh ingredients were used. Had both red and green hot sauces. Rice and beans were tasty and cooked perfectly. Nice size parking lot in the plaza. The front could use some fresh paint. Looks a little weathered. Not sure what a few things were on the menu but our server did explain them well. I'm willing to give em a try on the next visit. The Modelo on tap was cold and tasty. The margarita was perfect. Great balance of flavors. Highly recommended. Looking forward to our next visit to the local cantina. Yumm.... read more

I can't say it was a bad experience we have wanted to try something new. It was lunch time and the potion was small but filling. I really liked the chimichanga - chicken I have always loved the re-fried beans and the rice. Give it a try ! I do recommend the monroeville location. The restaurant was clean and staff was friendly - the hot chips are GREAT ! read more

The nacho supreme chips tasted artificial and gross, my homeboy mauled them though. The waiters were nice. Do not come here. read more

El Campesino - Nacho supreme - Mexican Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

Avg food, decent service. Nothing special. There are a lot better Mexican food than restaurants in the area for the same price.

We came here for a bite to eat and some drinks. When we walked in. It looked so dead that we didn't even see any employees. There were only two customers at the bar. Normally when you walk into a restaurant you're greater by an employee right away. Here that was not the case. We were standing there for maybe 5 minutes before an employee came up to us and asked for just two. No hello or welcome to El Campesino. Nothing! But, the other thing was. You see four of us talking together. You're going to assume we are a party of two and not ask how many. So we are finally seated and mind you we just were seated. The waitress comes and tries to start taking our order. We haven't even opened the menu yet. I tell her then could we just have 4 waters for now to get her to give us a moment to look at the dang menu. She brings our water right away and then ask her what do you want to order. We don't say anything because we are still physically looking at the menu. Then she ask you need more time or what. Since I was looking at the drinks menu I ask her if they make espresso martini. She tells me "I don't know. What ever is in the menu is what we have." So at this point she doesn't even know what is on the menu. Not impressed by her attitude and impatience with us we decide to just move to the bar. At the bar. The bartender takes forever to even greet us and ask us if we want water or anything. We all decided to get some drinks. My husband got a margarita and I the Mexican coffee. On both of the drinks it was so weak. Plus, the bartender didn't even seem like he knew what he was doing. Very disappointed. I don't recommend this place and I'm not one to tell people not to go. The first sign to turn around was when you walk in and there was no one there. You can find better food and better drinks else where. read more

We were seated quickly and served chips and salsa. The restaurant was clean and service efficient. We found the taco / enchilada and chimichanga meals to be a bit on the bland side. They didn't offer any accent sauces on the table. I'd rate the food as average. read more

Came here on taco Tuesday! They had a menu online for taco Tuesday but was not offered any special when we got there. The service was fine. The helper didn't speak much English so asking for stuff was difficult. The waiter finally came over to see what we needed. It wasn't busy enough but we did see the server much. He brought us our food and the little things we asked for! The menu was a little confusing because I thought the combos all come with rice and beans but it didn't even though it said it comes with it. I just have mis read it. Food was average! So we had to order a side of rice and beans! The decor was beautiful inside with lots of Mexican art! read more

Stopped for lunch with my wife and sister. Lunch menu portions were good. Fajitas were quite tasty. The homemade hot salsa is indeed hot! Not for lightweights! Other than the power going out and needing to find enough cash to pay for lunch, food and service was all excellent. read more

I don't even need to look at the menu, because the fajita quesadilla is amazing. I will order it again and again. Also the pink señorita margarita is delicious but also dangerous because they go down way to easily haha! The staff is always so nice. It feels like a classic Mexican restaurant. I have been to the Monroeville location, Ross Park and Waterfront. read more

I really enjoyed the Guacamole Dip and Cheese Dip. The California Burrito was NOT the same as THE California Burritos you'd have in Cali (completely different ingredients). It was pretty good, but the chicken was a little tough, and there were too many Bell Peppers. Still, I would come back to this restaurant whenever I'm in town and craved Mexican food. read more

Terrible. Their salsa tasted like marinara sauce. The mole was bland. Tv dinners are better. The service was what you expect from a Mexican restaurant. The restaurant just seemed...dirty? It may not have been dirty but the atmosphere was? Hard to explain. I'll never go back. read more

Another birthday, another visit to El Campesino. His birthday, his choice. And we love the food here. As usual, I got the Huevos Mexicano. I love that plate, and the tortillas are the best we've had since we moved away from San Antonio, TX. And, as usual, it didn't disappoint. Son got the Enchiladas Mexicanas again. Hey! If it ain't broke, don't fix it! The server warned him that it was spicy, but that's what he likes. Kiddo got the nachos with beef. Menu has that listed as an appetizer, but it was pretty big. She got it for her main course meal and couldn't finish it. I also got a margarita. Server asked what size I wanted. I've never had to choose a size for a margarita, but I chose small. I figured if it was really small, I could always get a second one. But it wasn't small. It was BIG for a small! And it tasted great. They don't skimp on the alcohol, but it wasn't too alcohol heavy that you couldn't taste anything else. But it was BIG! The big surprise came when at the end of the meal when they snuck up behind my son and put a sombrero on his head then sang to him in Spanish for his birthday. He looks confused in the photo because he wasn't expecting it lol. It was great! read more

We stopped in for a late dinner and were promptly seated. The waiter was quick to take our orders and bring out the margaritas (they were a little weak for my taste, for the size and empty stomach, I should have felt a buzz). There were 6 of us and he definitely kept up with the drink refills. Only 1 salsa and one basket of chips for the table though. After ordering, the food started arriving mega fast. I've had to wait longer at Taco Bell for my food. It was all hot and fresh. The chimichangas were not crispy and might have well just been small burritos. This was $2 more than most of the combos which had more food. The fajitas were large and they charge $2 extra for cheese. The chile relleno was large and delicious. The bean tostada was one of the best things I tried (odd, but it was). The Churros were amazing with an apple filling and ice cream and chocolate dipping sauce. I probably would have suggested caramel knowing they had apple in them. The service was excellent and we were in and out very quickly. I'd go back as I like the flavor of their beef and chicken. It's super moist and delicious. There is a lot to choose from, especially with the combo meals. They do have an a la carte menu so you can just get what you want as well. The portions are hit and miss, so once you know what to get, you may be happier with your portion size. read more

Came for lunch with some coworkers during the week. It was pretty empty but they took good care of us. I wasn't really impressed with the menu options, though they were numerous it was difficult to distinguish the difference between menu options. I ended up getting chicken enchiladas which were bland and dry and not to mention expensive. I'll stick to my regular places. read more

Went for dinner yesterday. I ordered the Super Burrito, 12" chicken and beer burrito. I cut into it and half of it was canned pulled chicken. Dry. No seasoning added to it. Dried up canned pulled chicken in a Mexican restaurant.. come on now. And then the other half was cheap taco bell quality "beef". The burrito was half chicken and half beef. The meat wasn't even mixed in with each other. If you look at the front of the menu, it shows an image of grilled and sliced chicken. I didn't ask for canned chicken in my burrito. Margaritas were the special for happy hour-- $4.99 for a small glass with no alcohol in it. I left with a stomach ache from all of the sweet lime juice in my margarita. I wish I had taken a photo but I was too hungry to complain or snap a picture of this embarrassment of a burrito. I will NEVER be returning to this place. read more

We came here on Sunday after church with a large group. There were 14 of us. The food was wonderful and we devoured three bowls of cheese dip! The service is great and they're able to sit us down in the back and there's usually not much wait. We come here probably once a month. This time as nice as several other families came with us, and it was good to sit and visit. I recently started not eating cheese and I got the fajitas which were great. My husband got the Pollo gringo. Our kids got chicken fingers and fries and a cheese quesadilla. Everything was great! There's usually some nice quiet music playing and it is a good atmosphere to sit and talk, which we appreciate. This is part of the reason we come here is to visit our friends while eating. We will be back soon! read more

The food was delicious and service was excellent! I was surprised by the generous portions and food options. I had two Chile Poblano which were perfectly cooked. They also give you chips and salsa. The music is good too. Great place to go with friends! read more

I love this restaurant! I have gone here for years and the service is fantastic and the food is amazing! If you don't understand what they are saying they are more than happy to repeat it. As for ambience they really did a good job making it feel like you just walked right into Mexico. Good place for family and friends! read more

Mediocre food, decent service, definitely not impressed. We always try a Mexican restaurant twice. Sometimes restaurants have off days and we love Mexican food. Primarily I do not like Tex mex, and am very fond of Mexican food from San Diego and the 1-30 miles roughly below it. Went here two times - they are never packed. Very easy to find a parking spot. First time, some of our food was cold. No love for the sauce. Second time - service was meh, just as the food. Was sad about it. So much closer to our home. Sauce is mediocre. Period. From their salsa to their enchilada sauce and the etc., definitely not anything worth taking home. read more

I'm not sure why El Campesino only has 3 starts. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Monroeville. I've been here numerous times and my meal never disappoints. I usually get one of the combination plates as those give you the option to have exactly what you want without paying extra for sides. I do want to add that the parking situation is not great. Not bad enough that I'd deduct a star, but the lot is hard to get into. It's also confusing as there are 2 do not enter signs where you would think of as the entrance. I blame it on the location and the traffic in Monroeville. Either way it does not deter me from coming and enjoying a nice sit down meal. read more

Haven't been to El Camesino in a few years. Was in Monroeville for business so went there for lunch. The chips & salsa were pretty good. Surprised they don't have Jarritos sodas. I ordered the Taco, Enchilada and Tostato combo. The Beef taco was good as was the bean Tostato. The beef Enchilada was so-so. Overall not bad. But not as good as, say, Emilianos. read more

The food was just...okay. Not great. Not necessarily good. Just okay. I had enchiladas. The tortilla skin was not soft. It was obviously microwaved, as was the rice and beans. On the bright side, the service was prompt and attentive. The food came out in record time (microwaved). And the price was very affordable. Nonetheless, we will not likely go back. read more

3.5 stars. The service was pretty good, somewhat slow. The chimichangas were great! Price point is pretty good and portions are for one sitting, this may be a pro or a con. Chips and salsa weren't the fresh kind which is a bummer but they were fine. Drinks were pretty good, well priced. We did feel the timing of our service was a bit intentional related to getting happy hour prices (we weren't given a drink menu at 6:30 and when we asked at 6:50, we got it at 6:59 *happy hour ends at 7). Still, drinks were quite tasty and prices were still fairly reasonable. Finally we were charged for food we didn't order, this was corrected without issue but again leads me to not call the experience perfect. Bottom line, food was really good, drinks were better, we were seated quickly, nothing else to blow your mind but not a bad choice read more

I've been going to El Campesino for years now and have had amazing memories and food there! I even celebrated my 16th birthday there ages ago!! My go-to is always the nachos, but I've heard that just about everything on their menu is delicious. read more

Being that I have several authentic Mexican restaurants close by I feel pretty lucky. While out one night with my wife we decided to have a date night at El Campesino. Since it was date night I started off with a Mango Margarita. It was HUGE and so refreshing. It tasted just like a fresh ripe mango. One is definitely all you need. For our entree we went with the Grilled Cazuelada Dinner For Two which consists of beef, chicken, shrimp and chorizo, cooked with onions, tomatoes and bell peppers. Served with rice, refried beans, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo and your choice of flour or corn tortillas. It is a lot of food for the money and the perfect amount for a couple. The beef, chicken, shrimp and chorizo were all cooked to perfection! Juicy and absolutely delicious! Needless to say that we left stuffed and had plenty of leftovers for lunch and dinner the following day. I don't get all of the bad reviews as the food is always superb and service is always excellent for us as we have been several times. Definitely check them out if you love Mexican food and are ever in the area! read more

Consistently delicious, reasonable prices, decent portions. Sometimes a bit much food. It's the place I judge other Mexican places against. Really quick service, such that I swear they're just waiting for me. read more

Service was good. As soon as we were seated, our chips and salsa were delivered though, for taste, they were just average. Our server was very friendly and efficient. Margarita was superb. Food-wise, it was ok but not stellar. I ordered a combination plate of a beef enchilada and a tamale with rice and refried beans. Can't say the enchilada impressed me any. Not quite worthy of a 4 star rating. read more

El Campesino - Yummy frozen margarita - Mexican Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

Best Mexican in the area, good prices fast service. Multiple locations and all are consistent.

Below average food is an embarrassment to Mexican cuisine. Taco meat was greasy and flavorless. What they call a 'Chile relleno' is a freaking bell pepper stuffed with same tasteless taco meat. Found two bone fragments in my food. Stay away, sorry I didn't go to any of the good Mexican restaurants iwe know. Bleh. read more

Food with no flavor for authentic Mexican. Moreover, food came out so fast must be microwaved. Bland chips. Tomato on top with core. Chicken was from the can. Beef seemed to be dog food texture and probably taste. Best thing I had was my drink, hard to mess up a on tap beer. Server never checked on us. I have no idea how there are not more bad reviews on this place. Waste of money and not cheap. Also no on duty manager to address issues. I was told manager on break and when asked when back was over two hours later, boy that is some break. I have never been at a restaurant without a manager. Taco Bell better than this food. Bathroom had mold. Never again! This place should be shut down! read more

Great draft system. Nothing is better than a cold draft that is poured correctly and is fresh with a clean frosted glass. I usually drink craft beer but with chips and salsa I want a cold Dos Equis with lime. This place does it correctly. read more

Quality has been sacrificed since the move to the new location! we've gone twice but won't go again! Food wasn't even warm! The Steak in my tacos was of a lower quality as well. So disappointed! read more

This place is ok, not going to be a top choice of mine for Mexican food. Had the cheese and chorizo witch was probably the best part of my meal. The real was just kind of bland and blah nothing that would make me come back. This wasn't horrible food, was edible. But just lacked a lot to make me want to return. Much better in the area. read more

Very disappointed today. Typically, I'm all for El Camp, but today was a bust. Its Cinco de Mayo, on a Friday, got it. Gonna be hella busy. However, when we tried to call in a lunchtime order, there was no answer. We tried many many times. Then, I go in to place a to-go order, and the wait time is 30-40 minutes. Again, Cinco de Mayo, on a Friday. Did they not plan for this? Especially for a crazy lunch rush. Typically, you sit down, the person takes your order, and you have it in 5 minutes. I'd really have to wait 30-40 minutes...? Maybe this is all my unrequited hunger talking. I do like the place - servers and food. They are willing to accommodate me if I order something and "Vegetarianize" it. The frozen drinks do look appealing. I guess El Camp is gonna have to get my 3 stars today, and hope I revisit soon, when less crowded, so that I may revise my appraisal in the future. read more
