Awesome fusion Mexican food. Service was great, friendly staff and mellow ambiance. Excellent cocktail and beer selection. Only knock, if I was forced, is that every taco has cilantro- soap to my/wife's tastebuds- but removed when we ordered, so no problem. Be on time! Highly, highly recommend. read more

Stopped into The Camino tonight and grabbed a seat at the bar. Bartenders were friendly and had a good sense of humor, which made it a solid start. The Monday margarita special is a nice deal too -- and the margaritas were really good. Food was the letdown. Took about 40+ minutes to get three tacos, and when they finally came out they were ice cold. At that price point, that's pretty disappointing. Presentation looked fine, but it doesn't matter much if the food isn't even warm. Drinks and service at the bar were great -- kitchen just didn't match the rest of the experience tonight. read more

The location was great downtown and inside was really nice. The ceviche was a little different and a bit more sashimi style and no chips to accompany it. The tacos and guacamole were delicious though. We had a great server who was very attentive. read more

Come here if you want an overly pretentious experience and extremely long wait for average food.Oh... and have your payment plan decided ahead of time for large groups... they only split checks 2 ways... a fact which they bury in the fine print on the menu. What a bad experience. read more

I'd call this place upscale Mexican. Not the standard Mexican but Mexican with a high-class twist. Definitely a hipster/trendy vibe with lots of young professionals. It was packed but we were able to get in and sit at the bar. The bartender was friendly and helpful. The house margaritas hit the spot. For food we split the guacamole, the crabmeat tostada, the huarache and the ceviche. A little bit pricy and not super large portions. The guacamole was amazing and came with a bucket of chips. The huarache was even better, and I highly recommend it. The ceviche was delicious. I would pass on the tostada, since I couldn't taste any crab in there. read more

We were passing through Missoula and needed a margarita - ASAP. This one did not disappoint. We opted for the guacamole, and received the HUGEST portion of guacamole we've ever ordered in one sitting. The accompanied salsas were very tasty, had a good kick. We ordered the pork torta to share, and it was a hearty portion. The atmosphere was casual & inviting. read more

The tacos are fantastic! I highly recommend the carne asada and shrimp tacos. So good I went back for a second of each. The fried chicken is more like a hard fish stick, so I'd steer clear of that one. The house margaritas are also a great addition for a taco feast. Service was great. The kitchen took a while to get 3 tacos made, but they were all hot and tasted fresh when they came out. read more

I thought the staff was really great and the quality of the food was great, unfortunately the flavour didn't match the hype. This place was really packed and everyone seemed to be having a blast, but I wasn't super impressed with the flavour. The food is a little pricey for "good" Mexican, it's priced for "excellent" Mexican. I live in the southwest so I'm a bit jaded when it comes to Mexican food. I suggest you sit at the bar, enjoy some drinks, chips, salsa, and maybe an appetizer. Spend your money on the booze and skip the entire read more

Love the Camino! Both my friend and I had the Pink Slushie that was rimmed in pop rocks, shared some street corn. The posole verde is amazing!!

Visiting Missoula for work. Stopped in for a quick bite at the bar ~5:30 on a Wednesday and the place was hopping. Non-traditional Mexican food and drink menu. Was not a fan of the margarita. Bartender asked if I wanted salt - yes of course - and brought a drink that had a bunch of salt clumped on one side of the glass. Chips and salsa were fine. Red salsa better than green. Got 2 tacos - carnitas and pollo. Both were fine, nothing special. Overall was fine but probably would not go back. read more

Overall good vibe, good service, and good food! Went recently with a group of friends and some of us were a little rowdy and our server did a great job dealing with us :) They put orange bitters in their house margaritas which I've never seen before and I really liked what it added! Mushroom tacos were a little lacking in flavor, but they had great house made salsas that rounded it out. Fish tacos were yummy! The tortillas that they make are fresh and the best part of the tacos, and they made a great chip as well. read more

Just moved to Montana from Ventura, CA. Good spot if you want a light (and expensive), decent meal. If you want Mexican food, skip, skip, skip. The wait staff was wonderful but the food was not N Mexican or even Tex-mex in any way shape or form. The food was good (other than the tiny portions) - I can't stress enough how tiny, but expensive, the portions were. The Camino is not Mex or Tex-Mex in any way. I'm guessing the Chef has never been south of Colorado. side note - the music playing above is so loud you can barely hear the people sitting three feet from you you're trying to chat with. read more

Really great experience here! The service was outstanding and at such an elevated level. Jack was our server and he helped us find the best options and even took the time to call out all of the best meat free options. Food was above par with creative elements (crunchy chick peas in the beans and greens). Loved the ambiance. This place is great! read more

My friend and I showed up for happy hour from 3-5 pm. Warning: the menu is real small. We drank THE BEST huckleberry margaritas I have ever had!! Ate shrimp cerviche, crab tostata, nacho cheese dip. Clean. Fun. Crazy bar full of tequilas. read more

We ate there in January 2023 when we were in town for a bridge tournament. I've been thinking about it ever since. We moved to SoCal in 2024 where there are literally Mexican restaurants on every corner. Nothing that even comes close to The Camino. We started with the quezo appetizer which was excellent. Had the guacamole and chips which were delicious! Then we shared the cochinita pibil which was one of the tastiest dishes I've ever had. Our service was also wonderful even though the place was packed on a Saturday night. And the decor was fantastic! Don't listen to any of the naysayers on here. Try it for yourself and decide what you think. I hope to pass through Missoula again one day and will definitely eat there again. read more

Busy but fun, great food with flavor and heat. Can't wait for summer and a different menu. Awesome staff too

I LOVE Mexican food, so I was excited to try this place. It's kind of a fancier, tapas-style restaurant, so don't expect to get cheap Mexican food in big quantities. The guacamole is very good, and I liked the shrimp taco. The mushroom taco had a weird texture; it was hard to bite through the mushroom bits. And my friend got the mussels and felt sick afterward, so we wonder how fresh they were... Too expensive for Mexican food in my opinion, and the small portions aren't worth the extra cost. read more

Margaritas and chips and salsa please! This is a cute little Mexican place cozied within downtown. The margaritas went down smooth and the chips and salsa were the perfect app on a chilly night. The staff was really friendly and now I know I will definitely be back! read more

This place is straight up delicious. We dropped by on a Wednesday for an early dinner and ate outside - we had to wait about ten minutes for our seat. Service was fast and friendly, even in a very busy environment. We both got frozen margaritas - which were pleasantly tart and boozy and celebratory. We also got guacamole which was generously portioned and fresh. For the main course we shared some small plates. The best by far and away was the quesadilla with sweet corn. It was a bit more like a taco in terms of how it looked - it was both crispy and cheesy and delicious. For dessert we had the churros - again a very reasonable portion size and both crispy and soft at the same time, with dark chocolate that was completely delicious. All in all a very pleasant experience - would recommend highly! read more

First things first, the service was PHENOMENAL. Pleasant, kind, helpful and prompt. The food, well that depends on your dedication to some authentic Mexican food, I suppose? I was personally underwhelmed. My husband on the other hand couldn't shovel his food in fast enough. Part of my problem (I believe) was I had to send my food back because someone was getting fancy with the cilantro in the kitchen. When your menu tells you all of the ingredients in a dish and the patron chooses meals without cilantro ...please don't improvise on my plate and add extra ingredients. If I was a cilantro lover this review would probably look different but I am not and now I am hungry and waiting on my food that was sent back. Y'all know the "hangry" drill right? I am 100% hangry right now waiting. The drinks, ARE AMAZING. Such a nice selection. If I wasn't so hungry, I would probably just sit here and drink myself under the table. Yup, they are that good. The location...eh, as a local Missoulian, my feelings are a bit biased on downtown restaurants because of the goofy traffic, streets and parking. Ok I am tip-toeing around it. I hate the location. There, I said it. I feel this whole building (it's location, shops, dining etc) is definitely more geared for tourists staying at the hotels. Eh, it is what it is. Cannot please everyone. Try it, to say you did but don't say I didn't warn you on some things...like the price. $70 for a meal for 2 people. $6 for a single (underwhelming) taco on a rubbery tortilla. K byyyeee!! read more

This place is special. The food, drinks, ambiance and staff are wonderful. Have been here multiple times and each visit seems to somehow top the previous. Tbh everything on the menu is so flavorful and they put a unique and delicious spin on their food. Homemade ERRRRTHANG! Some of my favorites are; Tacos (their homemade tortillas are fire) - Pescado, Barbacoa and Carnitas. Tostada de atun - The yellowfin is so fresh! Queso Fundido - FUN -dido is right! Carne Apache - love this spin on steak tartare. T.J. Caesar - one of my favorite Caesar salads! Cocktails are fresh and innovative. PROVOCATIVE AND SEXY, if you will. Favorites include, but are not limited to; Coyote, Christopher Oaxacan, Paloma and their house margarita. I've never had a dish or cocktail that I didn't enjoy here. My advice would be to get a friend or two and order the whole menu. ¡Viva Mari! As always, XOXO read more

If we had only ordered chips, guacamole and salsa I would give 5 stars! The service also was great, no issues there. We sat down and we're so excited for our meals because the chips were delicious. We ordered the tuna and roasted butternut squash to share. The tuna was just ok, it was lacking flavor...and the squash (which is my favorite) was not fully cooked. The flavor was nice, but squash is supposed to be cut with a fork, not a knife. Now for the tacos... Super excited when we saw the spit! Unfortunately the pastor was flavorless. The carnitas had great flavor but for $6, 1/4 cup of meat we received was rather disappointing. Wahoo taco had a big piece of meat to fill up the tortilla. Flavor was just ok, again. The plating could not have been more attractive. All that beauty unfortunately ended with the flavors of the food. read more

2 stars is not for the food but for the service. Came in to have a drink and order to go food at the bar. Initially was told they were too busy to do to go food but one of the bartenders checked with the kitchen and said it was okay. Both bartenders didn't say much or even crack a smile. I was missing chips from my order and when I asked he seems annoyed. No customer service at all. It felt as though I was a bother to them. The food was fantastic. Won't return simply for the fact I felt I was a bother and not wanted there. read more
