Something out of the 1960's, like being in cannonball run! Loved it.

There aren't too many eating options in sleepy Socorro on Thanksgiving Day. So we ate at the only open establishment, the El Camino. And had a good experience. The atmosphere and decor is from the sixties, in a good way, with country and western music playing gently in the background. The menu is Mexican American. Portions are generous. The staff are friendly and attentive. We had the carne adivada which was excellent, and chicken fajita, also good. Certainly one of the more unusual Thanksgiving meals we have had, and one of the finest.

Got take out from here while staying next door. Very helpful staff and super friendly. Wait time was shirt considering that it was Thanksgiving and they were crowded. No pics of the meals but they were very large portions and I did get a picture of the dessert! The food is excellent. Highly recommended.

When we travel we always try to a local cafe or restaurant rather than a chain restaurant. El Camino Restaurant in Socorro New Mexico has that classic old-time local diner atmosphere. It seems to be a local favorite where family's old friends gather. The food and service are great.

Still at it, who knows how long? Great food, great service at a great price. Full service bar, restaurant and classic eats. Some things will never change. El Camino restaurant is one of those things

The best breakfast burrito I've ever had!!!! Chorizo with Christmas style. Skip the beans and get the home fries to soak up the remaining chili sauce. This place drops you back to the 60s and the staff were great.

The decor is a flashback to the late 70s. There is a long bar, and then other seating. It took a long time to get our order in, but once done the food came quickly. My partner's Ruben sandwitch was not toasted on one side, corned beef was stringy, and there was not enough sauerkraut. My Mexican combo plate had a so-so Chile relleno, but a tasty tamale, good beans, lousy rice.

I’ve been coming here for years. If I’m in the area of Socorro for breakfast. This is my go to spot. The atmosphere is pretty sweet. Resembles the ol’ dinner days. I ordered the Pigs in a Blanket & Eggs. It was a good combination to eat a pancake and sausage at the same time covered in maple syrup. Their coffee is also good.

This place was a big let down. The place was semi packed, our waitress was a different one every 10 minutes for the first 35 minutes, coke was flat, beer was flat, took for ever for our food to arrived cause it was served one by one on a table of 8... we did not have dinner together, food itself was bland and tasteless...all of it...soup was cold .. and if took another 40 minutes for the check to get to us.... nobody ever came over to apologize for the lateness or the disorganized serving. Worse experience ever.

Food was good My waitress took my order after she took everyone's order. She never ever came back to me again. Another waitress brought my food. Another brought my drink and refill. Perhaps being the head waitress is just a wee bit over her multitasking skillset? This is a busy place and if customer service doesn't prevail everything else goes by the way including teamwork and those guys that skipped on their check etc. She's obviously not happy with her workload
