We all ordered drinks and food same time. Drinks came first! The food took 40 minutes, so thinking it had to be good! And it was! Very fresh and clean tasting. Chips are served with salsa and refried beans super delicious! The only thing I didn't like was that the ceilings are high and not sound protected so it's very noisy and echoes. We had to yell at each other for conversation. The service was really nice and friendly. Also, it's pricey, worth it, but pricey!

AMAZINGGGGGG, authentic Mexican food. Hands down the BEST I have ever had in my life. I went with…read moremy dad tonight and we shared chicken tacos, a steak quesadilla, and an order of the taquitos....they were all incredible (the steak quesadilla was my personal favorite, however). The chicken tacos were VERY big, I came hungry and I have a large appetite to say the least and one of those tacos itself was pretty filling. Both salsas on it were delicious (they offer a red and green one)! I also threw on a little bit on onion, cilantro and rice and it was even better. Easily the best taco I have ever had. The quesadilla had the best chew on it that is hard to describe in words.....it was slightly crispy on the outside yet a little soft and the flavor on the cheese that was so perfect. The cheese even had that melted and chewy feel to it that just makes your head want to explode because it can't comprehend how something could be so good. The taquitos were so nice and crispy and had such a pleasant blend of all the flavors it packs in its shell, you really get all of them in each bite. They are so generous with their portions in it and fill up the tray all the way to the top. This place is a gift, run here don't walk.

Whenever I need to supercharge at the Tesla chargers I get to get some food here at El Camperon…read more The store does not have seating inside and so you will need to sit outside. The store is split between savory and sweet. I ordered a few tacos (carnitas, cabeza, and lengua). The full size tacos are quite large and filling. I have to remember to order the street taco version. The flavor is good and with the salsa it hits the spot. I also ordered the menudo to dip my tacos in. Paired the food with some horchata and agua fresca. The service can be a bit slow, maybe because it is usually busy. One thing to note is that you will need to order the drink with your savory order but pick up is on the other side with the sweets.

Plenty of seating, they had indoor and outdoor. They also had a large bar with indoor and outdoor seating as well that was first come first serve and since we had to wait for table, we decided to go into the bar. We were greeted quickly and given chips and salsa and waters. The service was delightful from bussers to the bartender to the waiter ... just outstanding. Very attentive! We opted to order fresh guac, which was made at our table and absolutely delicious pairing with the chips and salsa. It was wonderful. We also shared the chicken fajitas. They were cooked well although I could've used a little more seasoning and came with our choice of corn or flour tortillas along with beans and rice as a side. A must try if you're in the mood for Mexican.

We like it hot so we liberally added the Tapatio. Our kids kept it simple with kids menu items that are also available (chicken nuggets and burrito). The ambiance for lunch was a clean location with large TVs but space for small and large groups. The service was quick and helpful, our server Marlena was great providing insight to favored dishes.

I ended up going with a chicken plate for my son, the plate was big enough for both of us. My son is 10, we ended up having leftovers for him to take home. My other son is also 10. He also had leftovers. He ordered the pancakes with egg. Both platters are a good size portion. The staff is friendly and the establishment is clean. Total for both plates with only water was $42. I did feel like this Mexican restaurant was a little pricier than others I've been into, but again you do get good size portions. I'm not from this area, but if I was, I would probably pick up from here again. Just because I like the way the food taste and the portion size is good for the value.

We got there around 11am and plenty of outdoor seating to accommodate our three dogs. We ordered two skinny margaritas, the shrimp taquitos, chile Torreados and al pastor plate. The first to arrive is the lovely chips and salsa along with their bean dip which is a favorite of mine. The skinny margaritas were so refreshing and light especially in the summer weather. The shrimp taquitos is one of the best items on the menu, they came out piping hot and crispy. They were fried to perfection and the shredded lettuce, sauce and tomatoes gave it a dynamic flavor. We shared the al pastor plate and made ourselves tacos to enjoy. The service was quick & friendly and the food came out hot and ready to enjoy.
