Food was excellent,but service was lacking this time. We've been to Camacho Garage at least 4 times before and haven't had any issues with service before. There was a concert that day so the place was packed and it took a long time to get drinks, and the waiter wouldn't come back for another 20 mins to get water.
We had a great bday dinner here for 11 people. Very fun with great food drinks and service. Will come back for sure!!
We went here just before a show. The atmosphere was amazing. The bartender was quick, friendly, and the drinks and food came out quickly. Highly recommend.

First time in to this establishment and I'll definitely be back. This place is legit and look forward to trying more items on their menu. The Modelo Especial was ice cold
Don’t bother going if you’re a party of one looking to sit outside. I went on a weekday evening, hoping to sit outside and enjoy the weather while having a drink on my own. I tried to make a reservation online ahead of time, just in case, but there’s no online option for a party of one. I politely asked the hostess to sit outside and she was condescending, telling me that I would only be allowed to sit at the indoor bar. Her tone was needlessly rude. There was plenty of space outside- it wasn’t even 1/4 full. There was also a large outdoor bar, which I asked to sit at after the hostess told me I wasn’t allowed to sit at a table, and she told me I couldn’t sit at the outdoor bar either. I would’ve been happy to wait or take a seat in the corner or something, but the only option she gave me was to sit at the indoor bar.

We went for a late lunch and despite the place being fairly empty we still waited a while to be seated or even noticed. Food came very quickly before our beers even came which was unusual but I suppose not the worst thing. However, while the food was tasty it was EXTREMELY overpriced. $12 for two (regular not specialty) tacos and these things are small. Honestly we should’ve gotten the 5 for $10 tacos at Food Truck Paradise. Also the beers came in 3 different pours which is nice but for a 12oz pour it was $7…I’d expect that from a full 16oz. If they drop their prices to something actually reasonable we’d love to go again.

Awesome restaurant. Their menu has great choices across the board and I noticed much of their menu can be made vegetarian. The service was great as well. Fun interior design too!

Love dining at Camacho Garage! It the go to place when my Son and I want to enjoy an evening out together!
We had three generations ( total 8 people) together for a birthday celebration. We asked for a quiet corner if possible . We were seated outside which was quiet for about 15 or 30 minutes until the overhead fan clicked on and made it difficult to hear from one side of the table to the other . We had heard great things about Camacho garage and were happy to finally get here . Our appetizers were good but pretty pricey for guacamole and salsa . The biggest thing was how my brother-in-laws taco bowl was handled . He clearly ordered meat ( beef) , rice and beans ONLY . The first fish came with pico, salsa, and guacamole covering the top of the bowl . He reminded the waitress how he had ordered it and she apologized for the error and returned it to the kitchen . 10 minutes later it came back the same way . Again, it was taken back and when it was returned , it was made with pork , not beef . They took it back a third time. We all had finished our meal . We waited for him to get his bowl , and finally get to eat . My husband advised the waitress we had 3 sisters having July birthdays so rather than have dessert for us, it would be fun for us to bring my 88 year old mother a dessert as none of us would be here without her . It never came and we were so frustrated by the taco bowl fiasco , we left . Of course they took 14.00 off the bill, but they did automatically charge the 20% gratuity since we were 8 people . No one came to ask how everything was , and the waitress seemed rather annoyed , though I would hope it was with the kitchen and not the customers . For tacos - 43.00 a person seemed rather high . I was disappointed overall , though my fish tacos were good , I won't be back .
This was our second visit in a weeks time. We really enjoyed the menu, drinks, and atmosphere. Our waiter was new but identified himself as such. He was great. Our son was here from Philly, the food Mecca of the east , and he gave it high praise. We will return for sure

We visited pre-concert so it was bustling and crowded. But all really a great vibe. The service was slow on drinks—- seemed like orders were getting a bit lost. Food came out quickly and was delicious. We were delayed by traffic but they managed to seat us despite being 45 minutes late- we did call to let them know.
Camacho Garage is an eclectic Mexican high end party spot! Drinks are on point! Delicious margaritas! Chips n Guac were very good but light on the tostadas. Overall value was so so. Food very tasty but expensive. We went with 3 people, didn't order a lot and over $200. Happy hour n Sundays less expensive!
The place is super fun. Music was very loud inside (so we sat on the patio). Service was lovely but slow and a bit disorganized. Everything was good but not fantastic, and given the price point, I would go elsewhere.
Camacho Garage never disappoints ... For starters, the Herb Guacamole and the QUESO FLAMEADO (absolutely incredible) then to the main... de Birria Tacos with a side of Borracho Beans and all perfectly pairs with the Perfect Margaritas. PERFECTO
most of our group of 8 had not been here before except myself and they were thrilled with the food, atmosphere, waitstaff, etc. can't wait to go back.
