Small but has several seating areas. We sat down and ordered with the server. She was efficient with a no nonsense attitude. The chips were so light and crisp. The salsa was fresh and tasty. It wasn't too hot and was easy to eat. The guacamole was just as delicious. Our tacos were sooo good. My sisters loved their fluffy tacos that were crunchy. I had the corn tortilla tacos that were perfect. I can see this being a great take out spot, but we dined in and loved our lunch experience.

Also, their beans are so flavorful compared to other places around. I actually like eating them. Usually I just leave my beans. The only down side is that they are NOT open late.

Purchased from this place twice- once dining in and once for carry out which I sent my husband to…read morepick up. Food: 5/5 very delicious in taste and great sized portions. The menu features lots of excellent Mexican cuisine choices including quesadillas, birria/ chorizo/ or steak tacos, Mexican breakfast options, and a small kids menu. During our first experience here, my husband ordered the steak taco plate which included 3 tacos, rice and beans. He also ordered the birria ramen. I, myself, ordered the birria taco plate which included 3 birria tacos, the consume, rice, and beans. We thought everything tasted very good! Beverages include: Different Mexican beverages such as Jarritos, Mex Coke, Horchata etc. Once could also canned soda, coffee, or juice. Their horchata was delicious-not overly sweet or watery at all. As far as alcoholic beverages, they have those, too! Paloma's, margaritas, and I was informed that they will soon have a mocktail menu. Service: Excellent. My husband and I dined-in on a very busy Sunday and there was no where to sit except a high counter-top area. We placed our order and were offered a table as soon as one became available. While eating, we were asked at least 3-4x if everything was okay or if we needed anything by various staff members. Prior to leaving, it started pouring rain outside. My husband paid our bill then went to pull our car closer to the door. While he was doing that, one of the employees by the name of Lupe grabbed an umbrella and walked me to the car when he pulled up (it's summertime and I was in summer attire including sandals). When I ordered carry out and sent my husband to pick up, I only wanted rice and beans. For some reason, he did not check the bag before leaving. He ended up coming home with some else's entire order which had no beans or rice. The restaurant was set to close in 15 mins, thus I did not bother to call about it. Value: $10-$20 on average for a meal and regular beverage. Great value for the portion sizes. Ambiance: Nice ambiance, yet very small restaurant with a bar area. Few tables outside for outdoor seating. Location: 2343 Mead St, Mt. Pleasant, WI, 53403 Phone: 262-456-0154 *Parking is all street parking and not the greatest when the place is busy. Check Google for business hours before going as it seems to change often. Cons in my opinion: * Because the restaurant is so small, I didn't like that large families were dining in and being *dining squatters* by taking up a few tables and conversing with one another for a long time, which took up a lot of space for a lot time. *dining squatter- someone that dines at a place, taking their sweet time eating, and lounging around after eating. * this business also owns a food truck, so it seems that their restaurant hours of operation change quite often depending on when they will take their food truck out.

On the Friday night we were there, we had a small wait. I didn't mind because there was a great energy inside. Once seated, we ordered the tableside quac, which is always our favorite. It didn't disappoint. I tried the make your own margarita. I really enjoyed both the presentation and the drink. Choose from their extensive tequilas and citrus mixers to create a flavor profile that's tailored to you. Brought to the table in a cocktail shaker and salt rimmed glass, you get a little more than 1 drink to enjoy. The tacos rounded out a great experience. If we can fit it into our busy schedules, we'll drive the 45+ minutes again for sure.

They're probably open. It's just the older lady in the back who doesn't speak English well, which is especially frustrating if you speak Spanish. The wait isn't terribly long, but either is the attention to preparation for customers who want different toppings beyond the typical corn tortilla, protein, cilantro and onion. Speaking of spice, I'm not crazy about their salsa. This may sound like I hate this place, but I don't. I just know they can bump up their game.

I pulled a quick one-eighty as this obviously caught my attention. This place is tiny! From the looks of it and the seven chairs that are cramped inside, people go here for carry out.  They only serve tacos, burritos and tortas and you can get them with steak, ground beef, pork, beef tongue, chorizo, and chicken.  They offer a meal deal that comes with rice and beans. A very simple menu. The employee didn't look thrilled to be there and was wearing a sweatshirt and coat, and took your order behind their tall counter with an Irish Nutcracker (WTF? See my pic).  I ordered three beef tacos. They were small but pretty delicious. Not out of this world good, but it hit the spot for my current situation. The tacos came with a red and green salsa.  The red salsa was too hot for me, the green salsa was more tame taste to it. This must be a popular spot for the locals as my buddy and I ate our food there and several people came in to order food and was out the door.  Would stop here in a heartbeat if I caught myself in Racine.

Unfortunately, that is not usually the case with service at El Camino. My husband and I had not gone back in a couple of years after they opened because of consistently bad and rude service. Their food was fine but even the best food isn't good paired with a bad overall experience. We decided to give them another try a few months ago and even though the service was a little better- it wasn't worth keeping them on our weekly rotation. My husband, daughter and I had gone there for dinner on Tuesday and as I said had a wonderful server. Both my daughter and I have had their steak tacos (filet and skirt), even though the flavor was fine, they leave the pieces SO LARGE that you chew forever on a bite of taco. This is not to mention that the tortilla does not hold up well to bites into these large clunky pieces. Because of this, I started ordering the Barbacoa tacos since that is shredded beef. However, my daughter doesn't like Barbacoa so she requested the cooks cut the meat smaller. The food came out and the pieces of steak were as big as ever. When I say that this could be a choking hazard for the best of eaters (let's forget about seniors, children, or people that may have dental issues) I mean these pieces are nearly the size of dice. We asked for a steak knife so that my daughter could finish prepping her own food (though she is not an employee of El Camino, apparently those who get paid to cook there, don't have to accommodate special requests of using their chef knives to cut steak before putting in tacos. As I watched her spend about 10 minutes deconstructing 2 of her 3 tacos and cutting up the meat and putting them back together (as it was getting cold), I asked for a manager. Nick came over to our table with a strange attitude. I said "Are you the manager?", as he did not introduce himself...at all!, he said "yes". I started by explaining that we asked for the meat to be cut smaller. He then starts to get defensive and argumentative saying how "everyone loves that dish", "everyone orders that dish", "There are NEVER any complaints about that dish". I had to interrupt him to explain that we were NOT complaining about the dish but the prep of the meat. He then says "Maybe that dish isn't for you". I said "So NONE of the steak taco dishes are for us because not only our request for safe size pieces was not accomodated but you are telling me that we take it or leave it???" He continued to talk over me and arguing until my daughter (who is very quiet and laid back) got mad and started explaining to him that he shouldn't be talking to his customers that way. Her and her husband order to go often and she explained that at home, she deconstructs her tacos, takes kitchen shears to cut the meat and then has to put them in the microwave to warm them up. Just because people don't complain doesn't mean they aren't unhappy about it. Instead of Nick listening and understanding what we were trying to do, he continued to talk over my daughter, and then snaps at her with "I'LL JUST TAKE IT OFF!". That set my daughter off. None of us needed nor wanted a free meal. We didn't ask for it, nor want it. We told him that. He finally asked what we wanted. I said that all I wanted was to share a suggestion of not only talking to his kitchen staff about accommodating COMPLETELY REASONABLE REQUESTS but to share with the other management our suggestion. That's it. We told him several times that we weren't complaining about the flavor, just the prep and that everything else was fine including the excellent service and that he, NICK, and NICK ALONE has ruined it for us. By the way- the ONLY way I knew his name is that I had to ASK HIM for it... We will NOT be back nor will my daughter and her husband order take out anymore. The food is fine but definitely not worth the complete disregard and disrespect of their customers! There are SO MANY better places that appreciate our business! Nick was on the right track- maybe EL CAMINO is not right for us....or anyone else.
