    the outside of a restaurant
    José A.

    A pretty decent Tex-Mex restaurant with a menu with quite a few options to choose from. My coworker and I stopped by on our way from Charlotte to Raleigh, and we ordered the Matador Omelette and the Chicken Chimichanga with fruit drinks. They were pretty good and tasty! The restaurant is located in a big shopping plaza with a free parking lot with a lot of spaces. It's easy to find. Not bad at all!

    Breakfast menu Great healthy options too

    Our first time and really happy we stopped in. Fresh food, great menu, good prices. I really want to come in for the breakfasts. Had a taco salad: Yes the old school way with a tortilla shell. Got to make it my way. Enjoyed every bite. Clean place not a lot of seating, does have outdoor patio seating. They were busy and hoppin (always good to see). Can't wait to try them again!

    Friendly staff, good service, reasonable prices. If you like cheese you will love this place as you can seedl from my photos they do not skimp on the cheese sauce.

    It is very nice to have Mexican food/Salvadoran food with such authentic dishes. This place was fast, well priced and delicious. We got Carne asada tacos, Carne asada Torta. For the Salvadoran dish, we got carnitas and cheese pupusas. I think this place has a little fusion going on but it doesn't take away from how good it is. This place has become one of our top three places to eat. Again staff were super great which also helps the meal be very pleasant

    Taco Kids Meal

    We were on a long road trip a couple days after Thanksgiving, and traffic was horrendous with accidents every 30 miles. Dinnertime approached and I was irritated and hangry. We took an exit in Thomasville as yet another car accident was backing up traffic according to Google Maps. We like to eat local and as fate would have it we pulled into a random parking lot, and there stood El Camino Express. It's a small hole in the wall type of eatery with ample parking outside. You walk into a bright white decor with black lettering, food counter to your right and a long dining room ahead. All the decor highlighted that this restaurant supported the community and provided a local farm to table type of eats. We knew at this point we hit GOLD! They had several folks coming in and out for takeout food, but we were the only ones dining in. Looks like most interstate travelers are bypassing this gem! Anyway, we ordered ACP, Taco kids meal, and Chicken Tinga Birria Tacos. Everything was phenomenal! The Chicken Tinga Birria Tacos were not on the menu, but I asked if they could use Chicken instead of beef and they happily obliged. They were packed with a savory light spice flavor, and the dipping sauce made the dish even more epic. I've been raving about this place to my friends ever since that day. El Camino Express was the highlight of my 10 hour road trip and a welcomed bright spot that addressed my hanger issues lol. If you are driving through Thomasville, make it a point to visit this landmark without fail!

    Sopes

    Fresh as it could be. This is not fast food. It is fresh made to order with love and care. The sopes were wonderful. But the stand out for me was the Burrito Texanas. It was full of meats and peppers and onions and had cheese sauce and more than enough for a big eater. I even went back to it later and ate it cold, still delicious. Sergio puts heart and soul into his food. I'm a huge fan and since i frequent Thomasville often, i will be a constant patron. I promise to take more photos in the visits to come.(I was really hungry) Bonus: You can get fabulous coffee, lattes and such at The Blend in the same space. Did i mention the decor is very pmeasing and seems like a great place to hangout and visit after a delicious meal.

    Great breakfast food and great service. I have an egg and dairy allergy. They have a build your own burial option and worked with my difficult order!

    It's been a few months since my last review and it's only gotten better. Best Tex-Mex in NC.

    Your taste buds will be in heaven. Never ever again going to a chain like Chipotle. Camino is the way to go. Not only was the burrito amazing but service was awesome. Gave us a sample of every salsa to try. Everything was fresh and great!

True to its namesake, there are brightly colored folk art designs throughout the restaurant in line with their Mexican heritage. The trees that make it look overgrown from the outside actually serve to allow sunlight while masking the surrounding city, facilitating the transformation that makes you feel like you're in Mexico City. We came at an off-peak time in the afternoon and it was nearly empty. We were seated immediately and the service was prompt and attentive. I was pleased to see some unique menu offerings like Birra Ramen and Sopes that deviate from the standard American-friendly fare in most places. Drinks were good - we had a regular house margarita, a triple berry margarita, and a jalapeño cucumber margarita. All were tasty and I would order again. I tried to order a Mezcalita, since it's not often I see a Mezcal option, but they were out of that particular liquor. We tried to get street corn as an appetizer, which they were also out of. We got cheese and salsa with chips instead. The chips were hot and fresh, the salsa generous with the cilantro, and the cheese bold and warm. For entrees we had the Al Pastor Quesadilla and the Birra Ramen. The quesadilla was good, though the beans on the side were pretty bland. The ramen was a unique and very tasty option, and I was not able to finish such a generous portion. I think I'd leave the cheese out next time since it made some weird textures, but the flavor was great overall. Overall, there are some small things to improve (having menu items in stock, bland beans) and the prices were a bit high, but we had a great experience overall. I'm not often in the area, but I'll certainly eat here again if I am!
