I got the chiliquiles and it was an added price for meat. I got both green and red sauce. Super good

My family and I come here way too often. We love it and have our go to items we go to. Chilaquiles with carnitas and a sunny side up egg, tacos de cecina (serranos are hot), pozole/menudo (my wife’s go to). Favorite brunch/breakfast spot in Orange County!

The staff has always been friendly and checks in if we need anything. We have two kids so they accommodated high chairs when we’ve needed it.

When you arrive just know that you’ll be told where to sit so you can’t save seats.

Well, all I can say is a family restaurant that makes its customers feel like family. This was my first time in. I was surprised by two things, the service and experience and the quality of the food.

These days when you go into an establishment, you never know what you are going to get. Alex was very friendly and took the time to explain things to me as I had questions, even though the line behind me was stacking up. Alex did not rush me. Service with a smile is cliche, but Alex and who I believe to be his brother were all smiles.

I ordered the Asada burrito and a cup of jugo de naranja (OJ). I asked for some spicy salsa as well. Let me tell you, I am picky about my asada, but this asada was juicy and tender. Not chewy and fatty like you get at some places. The burrito was piping hot, eggs, were fresh, cheeses was gooey, the papas inside the burritos were tasty and not bland. Most importantly for me is that the ingredients in the burrito were even proportioned out so that I was able to have a bite of egg, asada, papas, and cheeses in every single bite. I did not have a situation where after three bites all the meat is gone and you are only left with eggs and papas. Bring it all together with the asada and spicy salsa made for an explosion of an experience as you take those bites. I liked the salsa so much that I asked if it was for sale and sure enough, I was able to buy a glass bottle of the spicy salsa. I might mention the other salsa that comes with the burrito is tasty, but I need some more kick to my salsas.

Real deal over here. I will be back to this Michoacan inspired and infused restaurant. Highly recommend for anyone in Tustin and the surrounding area.

Much love El Camino Cafe!

This place calls itself an “authentic” Mexican restaurant, but my experience was anything but. I ordered a veggie burrito, and the staff told me it would have vegetables, potatoes, and avocado. What I got was a soggy tortilla stuffed with canned butter beans (not even pinto), tomatoes, and serrano peppers. It was completely different from what they promised.

When I complained, I was told with a straight face that pico de gallo was the “vegetable” they meant. That’s not just ridiculous, it’s insulting. The manager refused to admit any mistake, wouldn’t give a proper refund, and after pressing the issue, literally tossed me three $1 bills like that would make it right.

Between the false advertising, bad food, and arrogant, dismissive service, this place is a total waste of money.

I eat here about once a month as I can walk to the resturant. The food is good in a white persons way, meaning not spicy. I wish they had an option to get it spicier.

Their dirty horchatas are amazing 🙌. Update been coming here for about 4 years now I’ve seen the prices rise and unfortunately the quality decline a bit. Don’t get me wrong it’s still good just not as good as it used to be.

Houston’s better!!! 💯

There’s a Trump bobble head in what seems to look like a small shrine next to a cukoo clock. Not sure if you care about those kinds of supporters and the exploitation of the very… nevermind. FYI.

Been here 3 times and this time when I saw that bobble head I respectfully made my exit before ordering.

Foods great. Can’t unsee that bobble head though. Never coming back

I got the green chilequilles and a diet coke. Carne Asada was super salty and I was not a fan of the green sauce either. My Dad liked the chorizo and coffee. Service was good. I really liked the ambiance of the outdoor seating. Nice area.

great food especially their chilaquiles with steak and their red or green sauce is delicious

Yadira Spring

The cafe de olla is delicious, the red chilaquiles with carnitas were delicious, the green pozole was delicious and the service was great! Will be back for sure. ?
