Really this is probably a 4.5 star place, but I rounded up because the staff was so friendly…read more We went there for brunch a couple of weeks ago, and we were all impressed with our selections. The tamales were amazing, the al pastor was excellent, but we all agreed the chilaquiles was the best entree we tried. Be warned, ALL of the entrees were HUGE. The chilaquiles were clearly enough to feed two adults, as was the huevos rancheros. In retrospect, we should have maybe ordered three entrees for four people. Oh, and don't skip dessert!

Went to this spot today…read more Ordered 2 asada tacos, no veggies, queso fundido with chips and gelatina. The tacos were rich in flavor and the meat was grilled to perfection. The queso fundido was decent. It was extremely busy and the server had trouble understanding what we wanted. The tacos were good enough for me to come back just for the tacos. Decent spot that I do recommend but wouldn't necessarily go out of my way for. Nice!

Just from walking in, I KNEW the food was going to be good! First off, they have a big parking lot,…read moreso wanted to cover that first. The place was packed with people, which is a great sign to me. We had to wait a bit to be seated, but it was definitely worth it. Our server was busy with numerous tables, but she honestly did a great job! They brought nachos and sauce while we looked at the menu and was helpful with suggestions. Our tacos were these deep fried cheese Birria tacos and they were AMAZING!! Beans and rice on the side is always a must in my book. Overall, great taco spot if you're looking for authentic in my opinion. -Anthony

Our neighbors recommended us this spot, so my partner and I came here one night for dinner on a…read morerandom occasion, and unfortunately ended up having a relatively subpar dining experience. To begin with, our table and the menus given to us were very dirty and had lots of visible food tidbits, which made us have to clean things up a bit ourselves. That was okay, though, because I have experienced worse and wouldn't choose to let it impact my judgment to such an extent. I thought the only item that was solid was my lengua torta, which had a good amount of stuff inside ranging from meat to lettuce to mayo, and made me full in a very satisfactory way. A lot of the tacos were dry and reliant on the lime for a little bit of juice, including the birria tacos. My partner ordered the chicken, shrimp, and fish tacos, and thought they all tasted mediocre. Personally I enjoyed having some radishes because they cleansed my palate when needed. Another unfortunate event was that later that night, I experienced a severe stomachache and had to throw up. Granted, I have not tried their birria with consomé yet, which per my understanding was what made them famous since the beginning of time, at least according to a piece of newspaper I had seen next to the bathroom. Next time when I visit, I will try such instead, which I hope can provide me with an improved experience.

My wife and I decided to venture out for lunch, and I had a craving to explore a new taco spot…read more After some deliberation, we settled on trying El Camino Gourmet Tacos, a place that had recently caught my eye. The parking lot, shared with several other businesses, offered plenty of spots, making our arrival easy and stress-free. As we entered the establishment, we were promptly greeted by a friendly staff member at the counter. The menu was a delight--clearly laid out, with detailed descriptions for each item. This thoughtful touch made it easy to navigate the mouthwatering options, and I appreciated how transparent and appetizing everything sounded. The ambiance was equally inviting. The cheerful atmosphere was alive with upbeat music, smiling employees, and happy customers. The wall decor was strikingly beautiful, adding a vibrant and artistic touch to the space. We found a cozy table and were quickly presented with menus and offered beverage choices. As we browsed through the menu, we couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the incredible array of options--each dish sounded better than the last! It was a struggle, but we finally made our decisions. We started with the Chips and Guacamole and then moved on to our main courses. My wife chose the Steak Fajita Bowl, while I opted for the Chicken Tinga Corn Tacos. As we waited for our food, the restaurant began to fill up, the buzz of activity adding to the lively and welcoming vibe. The Chips and Guacamole arrived quickly, and what a treat they were! The chips were unbelievably fresh and had that unmistakable crispness of being freshly made in-house. The guacamole? Sublime. Creamy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned--it was so good I joked about wanting to bathe in it. I'm completely in love with this guacamole and could easily make a meal of just that. Soon after we polished off the appetizer, our main dishes arrived, and the incredible aromas from our plates were almost too much to handle. The Chicken Tinga Tacos were a masterpiece. The crunch of the tortillas was like music to my ears, and the savory, spiced flavor of the chicken was pure perfection. Every bite was a revelation, and I found myself wishing it would never end. My wife's Steak Fajita Bowl looked just as enticing. The vibrant mix of ingredients was beautifully presented, and to my surprise, she finished every last bite--a rarity for her. She's usually the one asking for a to-go box, but this time, she couldn't bear to leave a morsel behind. Either she was extremely hungry or the dish was so incredible she simply couldn't stop eating. I'm inclined to believe it was the latter. What can I say? The entire meal was a triumph of flavor, freshness, and quality. I'm already planning my return visits--there are so many more dishes I want to try. My only regret? Forgetting to take pictures of this unforgettable meal! What was I thinking? El Camino Gourmet Tacos has officially earned a spot on my list of favorite places. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. You'll be hooked from the first bite!

Love this place. The chips and queso are the BEST! Perfectly seasoned crispy tortilla chips with…read moredelicious queso. We always devour every single bite. My husband likes getting a variety of tacos - al pastor, barbacoa, shrimp, or carnitas. My favorite is the rajas bowl - tasty cactus, peppers, black beans, lettuce, and pico. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is the wild inconsistency in these bowls. I've had it over 10 times and you never really know what you're going to get. Sometimes it has avocado, sometimes rice or beans, sometimes lettuce is soggy on the bottom but sometimes sprinkled on top, sometimes hominy, one time they even added refried beans. It's totally dealer's choice of whoever happens to be assembling it in the kitchen on any given day. Nevertheless, I'll keep coming back!

The ambience is exactly what you want to crush tacos, burritos and tortes. Almost don't want to post to keep this a secret....but going to anyway - there you go - you are welcome. One word of warning - the green salsa that came with the burrito we ordered, looked like a nice, mild, creamy avacado salsa....that it was not. It was HOT. Like HOT. Like "hey gringo - watch out HOT"!

While not much to look at, we thought, what the heck, it could be good, having tested many trucks in other cities... Oh man it was! What wonderful surprise to find a great Mexican taco/torta/burrito truck in the middle of nowhere. I had the Burrito con Asada, sin arroz, with a chopped Jalepeno mixed in. The Asada was full of flavor, not too greasy and the burrito was packed. With the addition of the homemade salsa verde and salsa roja, it was reminiscent of great burritos I've had in Los Angeles. A definite 5 stars. My partner had the Quesadilla con Pollo thinking it might be lighter but beware, it is a meal. Delicious but filling and oh so tasty with the accompaniment of the homemade salsas. While mozzarella isn't quite the same as queso blanca or queso fresco, it worked well. Seems some traditional ingredients are perhaps hard to get in this area. The menu covers the essentials (Burritos, Tacos, Tortas, etc.) and with mix and match choice of protein, it should cover most every taste. Options include bowls for those that want to forgo the delicious tortillas. Overall, a great find. Next time I'm in Burnsville or surrounding environs, I will be sure to hunt this place down. Definitely want to explore the other menu items.

Came across this taco joint while on the area. Was pleasantly surprised they had a Taco Tuesday…read moredeal as well! It's called the Tuesday Rush Taco. Certain meat tacos are only $1.50, which is a steal in this economy. There are a total of 6 different types of meal from Al pastor, chicken, to carnitas. These tacos are definitely smaller than other tacos places I've been to but I don't know if it's smaller because it was a Tuesday or it is the actual size since this is my first time here. Either way, I can't complain on the size for $1.50. Here you can order at the kiosk or cash (at the counter). I got 5 tacos and a Mangonada Slushy. Tacos- comes with cilantro, onions, a slices of lime as pictured. There is a sauce bar of 4 different sauces from milder to hot, radish, and something else I think onions that ran out. For myself this is like a 4-5 bites taco. I was full after 5 for 7.50 which isn't bad for price! Certain meat was not as seasoned and kind of bland? But others tasted ok. If you have a baby, I recommend carnitas and chicken because they didn't have much flavor for them. Mangonada slush - an interesting taste. Very different from what I had before? Not sure how to describe but I'm not sure if I would get it again? They have other Aqua Fresca like Horchata that I would get next time. Overall, can't beat the price for the value. Is it the best taco I've had? No, I've have better? But would I come back for more Tuesday Taco rest? Heck yea. When I got there it wasn't busy but a lot more people came in later. I would say maybe took about 5-8 mins to get our order which isn't bad at all! They are "rushed"
