My husband and I were doing laundry here and decided to go eat lunch. We sat outside. The food was in big portions and good. The service was slow, so my husband had to leave, but everyone was nice.

My husband and I have been coming here for ages. Within the last year or so, they started to redecorate, updated the music, and started putting out specials. This took the place to the next level for me. Their specials were really different than the typical cheese laden dishes I used to seek out (quesadillas, cheese enchiladas, etc.). These dishes were so elevated, it made me look forward to my next visit each time. Everything they make is so good. I could recommend the tilapia, the ribs (get the corn tortillas!), the al pastor tacos in particular, the crab soup, the fajita soup, their birria tacos - you really can't miss. One thing that hasn't changed is the service. The wait staff is always so kind and attentive. El Camino Real is a gem, please come support them so they never go away. ❤️

Grilled shrimp was good, but sauce not exactly to my liking… I really liked the service and environment here, will come again to try something different.

I came here on a Tuesday as a party of 2 around 11:45am and we were sat immediately at a booth. I enjoyed their chips and salsa as the salsa was not too spicy. I ordered the lunch portion of the steak fajitas and a small (4oz) cheese dip. The steak was flavorful. The onions were sliced well, but I wish the bell peppers were cut a little thinner. It only came with 2 tortillas and the amount of fajitas and toppings they give you, you need more than 2 tortillas. The cheese sauce was good quality too. I do wish that the waiter stopped by a bit more often. Once we finished our meal, we did not see our waiter and were confused on how to pay. We ended up just going straight to the counter to pay. Overall though, we did enjoy our time.

Love this place! Food is excellent, staff is friendly and attentive!! I’m sorry yall had to deal with the racist community members coming to try and start trouble. The Tuesday taco special is a win for $7.99

One of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve ever been to. Very Mexican authentic they had a variety of meal options as well as drinks and they even had hand made corn tortillas, which is rare to see in many Mexican restaurants. We were greeted with good customer service and our waitress did an excellent job, it was our first time there and we really enjoyed it.

Ordered door dash but still giving all 1 star. Horrible food portions for the price of food. Food had been turned over and I realized this once it was all over my shirt. Missing food. No chips and salsa. To have been of the fastest food I have received it was all completely cold. Made no sense. I had the food in about 7 minutes of it being picked up and totally cold. Highly disappointed.

Great food, great portions and the service team are attentive and tender hearted ♥️. We ate our dinner and watched them care for a fallen baby bird ?. It was very sweet. Only lost a star because we went on T mobile Tuesdays where you pick a restaurant that's signed up for their promotion and we chose El Camino Real on Reynolda that was purchase one menu item and receive another of the same cost or lesser for free. We showed our server before we ordered to make sure it was valid as it was but when we tried redeeming it at the end of the meal they flat out Said no. We won't know how to do it. For people who budget this could pose problematic but we enjoyed the experience none the less.

Lovely restaurant with excellent NC Mexican food.
