Went there Sunday eve with six friends. As the posted reviews range rather wildly across the spectrum, I was very interested to try El Campesino myself. I'm glad I did. Starting with the chips and salsa: chips were O.K. but the salsa had a nice touch of heat and enough flavor to make the experience very enjoyable. It wasn't a lot of heat, but probably enough to turn someone off if they don't like spicy things. Next, I split a half-pitcher of margaritas ($11.95) with a friend. I'm glad I did. The margaritas were very good and you could taste the tequila. My friend was left longing for more. For dinner I chose three enchiladas ($7.50): one cheese, one ground beef and one shredded beef, plus rice ($2.25). One test I use for Mexican restaurants is "What is the quality of the ground beef?" I have found that some places go for the cheapest ground beef they can buy, but better places serve ground beef of a higher quality. Well, all three enchiladas passed my "Darn, That's Good!" test. Then I poured some salsa onto my rice and mixed in a little enchilada sauce. Nice. As good as any rice I've had. Only one person in the party did not give rave reviews to what they ordered. They ordered something that was a lot hotter than what they thought it would be. They didn't say it was bad, just hot. So overall, we gave El Campesino four stars, and I will probably put it in the rotation of my favorite Mexican Restaurants. read more

My family loves El Camp. We've been coming there for years, and we feel that it's a 4 out of 5 stars. Service is usually fast, friendly, and maybe it's because we've come so often, but we really feel as though we know the people that run El Campesino like they are friends, and that means a lot today. Sure, there's an occasional slip up, but by and large, for the price, we haven't found anything we like as well or better. read more

This is my number one choice for Mexican in the immediate area. The service is prompt, the servers are all friendly and helpful, and my drink is never empty. The menu has been pared down in the last few years, which I think has been helpful to the consistency in their service. They also remodeled the Stow location and it now has a much more comfortable atmosphere. My last visit was on Thursday, 11/13, and my boyfriend and I were seating and quickly given chips and salsa. The chips were really warm and fresh. We ordered drinks - I got water and he got a soda - which were delivered quickly. I ordered a combination with a burrito filled with beef tips and beans, served with guacamole salad, rice, and beans. He ordered the burritos deluxe. Given that we were there 4:30 on a Thursday and there were a fair number of people in the restaurant, our food was brought to the table at lightning speed. Both entrees were fresh and hot, my boyfriend even exclaimed that his burritos were the best he'd had in a long time. The portions were large, but not to an absurd degree. My guacamole was very fresh and flavorful. This is a pretty standard experience at El Campesino. The menu is pretty solid, the service is prompt, and the food is always good. read more

Love love love this restaurant! I've been coming here since I was a kid and I am always satisfied every time. The service is quick and friendly the food is excellent and very reasonably priced. I'm a customer for life! read more

They changed their menu and prices. Beware! You can't even get the bland pseudo Mexican you used to be able to get there for ultra cheap. Now it tastes like cardboard and they charge out the yin yang for it! Do yourself a favor: skip this place and head across Kent to Guacamole's. You'll be glad you did! read more

Me and my fiancée are regulars here. We just don't check-in all the time. Every time we come here, the waiters served us with an attitude. Throwing the menu on the table, throwing the plates with the food on it at us, making rude jesters while taking our orders are just some of the things they do on a regular basis. They constantly serve us with wrong orders, refill our drinks with wrong drinks, and yet we come every time hoping that there would be a change. This is the last time I will ever come to this restaurant. The management is absolutely horrible we've been sitting here for 30 minutes while we're waiting for someone to come so we can return the crunchy rice that they served my fiancée along with the cokes that taste like dr. Pepper. read more

We love this place - great food and very quick. They do need to work on customer service - waiters are VERY rude.

I love El Campesino. I have gone there many times; sometimes just me and my husband, sometimes large groups, and the service has always been A+. The prices are very reasonable, the portions are huge, the food is flavorful, and the Margarita's are strong- you can't ask for anything else. read more

Quick service, friendly staff, and low prices make up for some of El Campesino's short comings in overall food quality. Their complimentary chips and salsa are freshly made, delicious and vary from day-to-day in taste: sometimes the garlic is heavier than the cilantro in the salsa, and sometimes it's just the opposite. Most ground beef dishes come with a meat that I cannot recommend, but if you stick with shredded chicken, shredded beef, refried beans (i.e., chilupa), or steak (Mexican Tacos), you'll experience a five-star course. read more

The best Mexican food I've ever had. They have a TON of options and a great atmosphere! Prices are reasonable and portions are huge.

My wife and I came expecting a decent service, a clean environment, and good food. El Campesino failed to meet all expectations. It's a shame we can't give smaller than one star. I got the "Camerones a la Diabla" expecting spicy shrimp as one would expect by the name. Instead I was presented over cooked rice, cold beans and cheese, rubber shrimp in tomato sauce with a little bit of the chile chipotle hot sauce mixed in. My wife got the Nachos supreme. Which were soggy by the time they reached the table. It wasn't busy at all, but service wasn't that great.We were relatively slow to eat, between swatting flies and trying to keep our toddler from climbing out of the booth, we barely saw our server. We were so dissatisfied, we talked about getting a Galleyboy from Swenson's just to get some sort of satisfaction. Never going back. read more

Excellent food and a very nice atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean and nicely finished the place was. It doesn't have the wild, hand painted walls you see in many places like this. As a result, it is a clean and respectable establishment. It is a truly nice restaurant. Margaritas are very strong and service was fast as with most Mexican places. Other places in the area are not worth the time. Guacamole's and Salsita's can't hold a candle to El Campesino. The waiter was not very friendly (possibly due to language barrier) but he was prompt and attentive. read more

El Campesino - Mexican Near Me - Stow, Ohio

Food is mediocre and the margaritas are terrible. I'd suggest Salsita's if you're looking for a standard Mexican fix.

Loyal customer for years! The frozen margaritas and cheese dip are a must. The service is wonderful and welcoming to all. Prices are very reasonable and the food never disappoints. I always look forward to my next "el camps" dining experience. read more

My sister loves it here so my family has been coming here for years. Especially enjoy the queso dip. My mom swears by the chicken tortilla soup and my all-time favorite order here is the quesadilla skillet. Fast and friendly service and if they make a mistake they correct it quickly. See you again in June! read more

Fun place to go because they'll allow large (and noisy) groups without problem. Decent quality food and drinks - you won't go away saying it was the best Mexican food you've ever had but you also won't leave dissatisfied or hungry. Solid choice for Mexican food. read more

For Mexican food and staff this place is top notch. Any seafood dish is fresh. Today I just had the worst service there. The guacamole was not fresh and the server made it feel like we were being an inconvenience. read more

El Crapesino!! Completely dissatisfied with this restaurant. Typically when you order fajitas you get a pretty decent size portion. Not here!! Plus, the minimal steak and chicken I had was literally burnt to black!! Terrible. I barely had enough to make a second fajita wrap, let alone a third. For the price this was absolutely pathetic. Never going back. Took a bunch of friends thinking this would be a great local mexican restaurant to go, nope! !!!! Get a clue el crapesino. Too bad I didn't take pictures of the charred steak and chicken I received.... Oh and our waiter, with the braces, was not very nice at all.. read more

I really love their food! I always get the Chicken Fajitas and always love them. The queso dip is also very good! I would give this place five stars except the service isn't always the best. A few of the waiters are not friendly and do not check back to their tables often which is annoying. read more

The food was great. Hot. Fresh. The fajitas were amazing, and my friend enjoyed the queso.

I am baffled at how this place has such a high rating. The food was horrendous and could barely pass for dog food, let alone authentic Mexican. The place was also extremely dirty and dusty. We will never be going back there. Huge disappointment. read more

My favorite of the local Mexican Restaurants! The food is always fresh with friendly, fast service. Great atmosphere. Best guacamole anywhere. Good menu variety. Clean restrooms. Ample parking. Overall quality is consistent. read more

This is a great place to go. Large dinning room and the food and service are great. Typical Mexican food done well.

This place is always on point and we end up going twice a week on average. Don't hesitate go eat there!

If I'm going out for great Mexican- I'm eating here. My Favorite, hands down.

Inconsistent, sometimes the food is great. Often the same dishes are just bland, and needs tabasco or queso for some flavor. I have been about 20 times. It is not bad, but too often not great. :(. I hope they do better. read more

This is a great standard Mexican restaurant, if you've been to a Mex. restaurant before you wouldn't necessarily need to open the menu, except for the Burrito Rocheta (sp?). We have been here at least 6 times and my husband has ordered it 5 times and that 6th time, he regretted it! Its a pulled pork burrito with salsa verde on top and a bit of pico de gallo on that. The reason for the 4 stars (not 5) is that its always hot in there! Even though it was 40degrees outside,it was at least 75 degrees inside, yuck. (I hate being hot) read more

The food is fantastic but it's the service that sets this place apart. Bring your family and your friends and enjoy an amazing experience !

Decent food, tasty margaritas and great service.

Ate here recently on my quest to find authentic Mexican in Summit Co, per my hair stylist who is California raised. Asked the server about the mole, she said she makes better mole at home (I appreciate her honesty), so I passed on that one and just got a combo platter. My family order a special and a menu item. Not bad, not a ton of flavor though. Didn't have a stomach ache all night or any other issues. I guess this is my new Mexican place for the time being. Atmosphere is noisy. Got to hear the torid details of the girl across the aisle's love life while we were eating. I might try take out next time. read more

This is the best Mexican restaurant I have found anywhere to eat the taquitos I love so much. Service is always perfect food is always perfect, short wait for food, everything is fresh what more can I say. I love it!!! read more

The best. Chicken Chimichangas, Cancun Cheesesteak, and Pollo Chorizo are my top three. Don't forget the cheese dip. Best Mexican food in the area. Streetsboro location is great too. read more

Pretty darn good. Used to visit this restaurant a couple of times per month. They have a very large dining room, really good enchiladas, and it's very affordable. Honestly, I wish half stars were an option because they deserve 4.5. This is the second best Mexican restaurant around. read more

A family favorite for us! Plus 32 oz. beers for 5.95? Bring on the hot sauce!!!

I love El Camp! It's definitely the spot to go for Mexican food in stow! Chips and delicious salsa to munch on prior to meal... Which by the way, the food comes out so fast! I always get the shredded chicken taco salad. My boyfriend loves the chimi changas. Spelling? There is one man who works here who isn't very customer friendly, mostly because he's so silent, but no worries. He probably means well. The food is delicious, fair priced and fast. Great spot for a not so fancy dinner date read more

Standard Mexican food, just like they have all over the area. But El Campesino is a little better tasting than most. Pretty much all I get is the El Campesino Fajitas which are steak, chicken, and shrimp. They taste great with enough left to have a few more at home. Margaritas are good. A regular size is big enough for me, but they need more ice in them. Overall one of the best Mexican places in the area. read more

I have to say that I've eaten here many times. At least once a week. The food is standard Mexican food. Dine in. Don't order to go. We ordered Togo once and was very disappointed. The food we took home was dried and very salty. . We live 5 min away. Couldn't be the time. I recommend dinning in. That staff is nice and friendly. read more

decent food and good ambiance....not as tasty as El Meson, in cuyahoga falls, but better seating and ambiance. I recommend this place.

Overall I feel this is an above average Mexican restaurant. My go to dish is the chicken tacos, made with grilled chicken not the bland shredded chicken served at most restaurants. Order with a side of the shredded cheese to add to the onion, cilantro, and lime and it proves that simple can be delicious. I recommend you give this place a try and see for yourself. read more

Always fast, good quality, friendly servers and well priced! Our go-to for taco salads and fajitas! Tish review applies to both the Streetsboro and Stow locations. read more
