Went to the Camino last night with my spouse and had a lovely experience. Our server, Laurel, was very personable, up-beat, and had great recommendations. She recommended the key-lime pie and it could have brought me back from the dead. Hot damn! The drinks were tasty, as well as all of the other food we ordered, but the highlight of our experience was the service. 4 stars for the atmosphere because the music was a tad loud to chat over and the AC was a little too cold for my poor chilly bones. I'll be returning!

Went in for my wife's birthday on Saturday night, party of 7. Food was pretty good. Service was trash. I had to ask the server to take drink orders for the other half of the party, who had just sat down. She was trying to hurry us along for some reason and then ignored for long periods of time. Couldn't coordinate a birthday shot for the group because of the ignoring. I was polite through the dinner, please and thank yous every time, but had to keep asking her to do her job. I spent years in that role and am very forgiving but this was just intentional seeming, not a "too busy" situation. I could go on but she got hers with a 20% gratuity and we won't return.

First, there is nothing Mexican about this place. Overpriced for small tacos on cold/uncooked blue corn tortillas. Street tacos have white or yellow corn tortillas cooked on a flat top. Meat was good tasting but not much of it. Only black beans on the menu. Mexican food whole pinto beans. I will say the mezcal margarita de la casa was great, but also over priced.

It's hard to explain why I'm reviewing this pretty nice seeming and sorely needed venue with two stars when I loved the food and server... but then it's hard to explain our experience here too. I'll give it a shot:
The server was good. Too busy, but good at being a server if everyone knows what that means. It got really weird with the drinks though right away.
They were way too slow in coming after first order then continued to show up slow or not at all, and they weren't great. Sorry bartender guy, I usually don't complain but this was a $200 tab at a four top and I don't expect bad drinks in that kinda of scenario. The server also seemed annoyed with the bar, and it wasn't the usual server-vs-bartender drama either. Also, I had a very sore throat the next morning... and you can almost always lay that right on either the table service or the drinks. Really bad sign there, but also correlation doesn't equal causation they say, so keep that in mind.
The food was very, very good after picking from a pretty narrow menu, and I really am excited about the kitchen here. Really great work going on, please keep that up at least.
I won't be going back, unfortunately, until I hear major changes have occurred at the bar. Not many things are in my no zone, lol, but bad drinks at an upscale venue are one of them. Very strong pour to be fair, but then I can do that at basically any bar in town, which is maybe where current subject belongs for a while longer.
4/10/22 and we still haven't been back. Crappy bar service is the burn that keeps on burning, lol.
9/15/24 and I'm slowly considering maybe coming back, with close friends in town or some other "bad is fun" situation. update maybe soon, sometime in the next 5 years.

The guac, beans and chips were great. Good margaritas! The green salsa was really good; the he red salsa was a little spicy for my taste, but had a good flavor. This is the best Mexican food in Missoula, in my taste. I would have given a 5⭐️ rating except that one of the bartenders only paid attention to young, blonde customers and I had to waive down a passing server to get another drink, several times. BUT, I plan to go back and try the tacos. I’d recommend it.

They did a great job recreating the Oaxcan feel in this place between the ambiance and the menu. The cocktails were delicious. So weere the plantains and the tacos.
The most delicious Mexican food I have ever eaten . Great atmosphere also and very helpful staff . Highly recommended.

The food tastes great but they barely give you any! They nickel and dime you for real! The music is too loud. The marg is darn good though. Won’t be coming back except for a margarita….
The service here is amazing, and the atmosphere makes it a very enjoyable experience. I would give the food 5 stars but I really didn't enjoy the texture of the fish, but that was more of me personally not liking it. Overall I have to give 5 stars because of the great service, atmosphere, and experience. I would definitely go back. Also a shout-out to Jack who served us! He was wonderful.

The Camino overall is over priced and over spiced. The drinks are good, particularly the mescal cocktails. The staff was pleasant and relatively efficient. The food, however, left my mouth burning and my pocketbook lighter--for two little tacos. I felt like this restaurant tries to be unique at the expense of good. I guess it is just not my jam.....

This place was really cute, the staff was great and everything was really tasty.
The one thing that I would say is that it's overpriced for what you get. It seems a bit extreme to be charging $17-$42 a shot for mezcal, when you could buy the bottles themselves at a liquor store for $50-$120.
Vegetarian options: There are only a couple of vegetarian options, mostly as starters.
Great atmosphere, food rocks and cocktails are really spot on. Super friendly staff that really knows their menu.
