this was a terrible experience I waited over 45 minutes to be served 3 plain tacos while others who came after me was bein serve. The waitress came up and asked if I had my food I said no and she acted like she didn't know so overall a terrible, terrible terrible experience!! read more

There food is so good the servers are amazing i definitely recommend this place hands down

Bad servers ! Foods is not so bad but my second time came here to have exactly the same bad experience about service's! Absolutely not recommend ! read more

Went in for a mango margarita my friend suggested said they were good. Well, they were delicious their chips and sauces very fresh also took an order of the real dip to go. Omg so good' Michaela was excellent. Great service certainly asked for her the next time you go back. read more

The food is always amazing! The chicken fajita's were delicious and the portion amount always requires a to go box. Servers are attentive, professional and always friendly. Its bright, colorful decor and upbeat music give it a lively, casual ambiance. The patio area is also a favorite. read more

I dropped in for quick bite at lunch because it is known that Camino Real set the standard for Mexican food in town. Oh how the mighty have fallen. I arrived, was seated promptly and the server showed shortly after a took my drink order. The chips and salsa arrived and the salsa was bland(a sign of things to come.) I ordered fish tacos with rice and beans. It contained unseasoned, lightly grilled fish in a tortilla. The toppings on the side consisted of a small amount of cabbage and pico de gallo. Huge disappointment... read more

very few servers, only came around to get the order and to give us the check. the food took forever to come out, each persons plate came at separate times, didn't taste good, and not worth the price at all. read more

The staff was nice, yet my order of beef nachos was not. Nighter the cheese nor the beef had any flavour. In fact the beef was cold in places. The ladies room also had a peculiar smell to it. read more

Real is key. I may have been the only non native Spanish speaker in the restaurant. Good food and easy to overcome the language issue. Quick service and good solid food. read more

Sorry but this place is not what people think. For a Mexican restaurant it's missing the sazón. No flavor on anything, the green chili enchiladas ain't enchiladas they are just tortillas rolled and smothered in tomatillo sauce. It's a shame that a place like this calls themselves a Mexican restaurant. Good Mexican food is found next door at the Azteca or across the street at Mazatlán read more

Had a great lunch at Camino real in Dickson today. The quality of food is always good at Camino, it doesn't matter what location you go to. They are our go to Mexican restaurant. This location was no exception. Great food, great service, and great times. read more

Came here for a quick lunch and it was such a good experience. The wait staff was amazing and the food was delicious. Definitely will be coming back again. read more

Soooooo... Service is okay, food is okay...I really don't have anything outstanding to say.. I had the pastor tacos which were drowning in sauce/seasoning and not the best I've ever had. The hubby had the combination fajitas which were bland and dry. We weren't impressed. It also is a very large wide open cold atmosphere we didn't care for. Prices are slightly high for the area and the food. You can eat at Chuy's for these prices and better food. read more

Between the Horrible service, extremely water down Pitch of Margaritas, and Terrible server I'm struggling to find anything nice to say at all which is never like me. I would recommend you go any where else but here for Mexican. The salsa is not great, the queso is okay, chips normal for a cheaper Mexican restaurant. I got the Nachos which were okay. The Cilantro was fresh and portions large. Also, they did get our order correct which was not an easy order. Other than that everything was below par for any restaurant I have been to in the Dickson area. Oh, and the Waitress sat down at a booth down from us and stared at us but refused to come check on us, so we decided not to waste our time on ordering anything else. read more

This is by far the BEST Mexican restaurant in Dickson....possibly anywhere!! I even had Mexican food in Texas that didn't hold a candle next to Camino! The restaurant is stylish, pleasant, and clean. You are welcomed the moment you walk in the door. The waitstaff that takes you to your seat give you your menu and takes your drink order. Shortly after you are served their awesome chips and salsa. Now, the hard part. Trying to decide which of their fantastic dishes to order. There are so many wonderful items on the menu you can't go wrong no matter what you choose! Be sure to leave room for dessert! Fried ice cream, chocolate chimichanga, and other goodies await you at Camino Real! read more

I had some very tasty chorizo tacos here while passing through. I definitely think it was overpriced however. The service was friendly but a language barrier had to be overcome. The atmosphere was typical- sort of thrown together and maintained, nothing fancy. read more

Best Mexican food in Dickson...hands down. Consistent, reasonably priced and friendly staff. Can't go wrong here!

They weren't busy. Got seated outside and Sat outside for 20 minutes while the outside waitress flirted with the table behind us. Then never came back lol. We ended up just leaving since we hadn't ordered anything and I called to let them know and they HUNG UP ON ME. Crazy unprofessional. Probably won't be back. Went to El Mariachi instead and was helped right away. read more

I can never stay away from Mexican food long. This place is a favorite! Everything is always super fresh and tastes great. The food is never runny (some places let all the juice and stuff run together on the plate and everything gets soggy very fast). Staff is wonderful and friendly! They always treat us like family. I will continue to be a loyal customer as long as I live here! They're also catering our wedding! read more

I'm not sure what possessed us to go to a Mexican restaurant on Cinco de Mayo. To be honest, we set out for another restaurant which happened to be closed, and not only was Camino Real close, but we had fond memories of our last visit.  The food was very good, as it was our last time here. I had Chile Colorado which was excellent, and my partner had the Special Dinner, which consisted of a taco, an enchilada, a chile poblano, a tamale, a chalupa ,and rice and beans. It was a LOT of food and he didn't finish the plates (there were two.) The drinks arrived quickly, as did the food, and our server (Edwin, I believe) was great. The only thing wrong was the lack of social distancing. We were seated at a table right up front where the "to go" people mixed with the "trying to pay and leave" eat in diners, and many of those were not wearing masks. Two cash registers are not enough for this popular a place, and the "to go" folks definitely need a segregated place to congregate while waiting for their food. We'll be back on a much quieter holiday. Now, when is St. Swithin's Day again? read more

I'd have to agree with the other reviewers and state that although the food was delicious and plentiful, the service left a lot to be desired. I don't like walking in and having to wait until the manager is done with his personal phone call to help us and then having to deal with a grumpy waiter. Kinda stinks! This place is kinda small and if you're looking for a quiet romantic place to take the wife, this is NOT the place for you. It's cramped and having a large party was not exactly easy. You're started off with some excellent chips and salsa and of course, we asked for guacamole. Where were the tomatoes? Onions? Cilantro? It was overly salty and lacking so much. We all decided on burritos. I ordered the burrito fajita and my husband and friend had the burrito verde. The only difference was that the burrito verde had a chunky verde sauce on top and came stuffed with shredded pork. The burrito fajita gives you the choice of chicken or steak and is covered in a creamy cheese sauce. The burrito fajita was phenomenal and my three stars are dedicated to that piece of Mexican perfection. The boys loves the burrito verde. All in all, even with the crappy service and cramped quarters, I'd still give it a four stars. Dickson isn't exactly known for variety and I was actually surprised at how good my food was. Recommend...just not on a Friday night! read more

you have to give it credit for doing good every year but we are their and they charged us extra $39 for 2 things and we took care of it. and I'm not going back for a while or at all I'm not gonna be served by somebody that's gonna disrespect me and my family. read more

I have never been treated so rudely in my entire life at a Camino Real restaurant. I have been coming to this restaurant for 9 years. I have always had a great experience with this location until tonight specifically dealing with Audrey. We called to place a to go order and my husband ordered something new he has never ordered before. I get to the restaurant, pick it up, and it was made incorrectly. I called to let them know it was made incorrectly and I was told it would be corrected and I was on my way back to the restaurant to pick up the replacement. I called back once more before I arrived to verify it was made correctly. The person who answered, named Audrey, told me rudely I would have to bring the food made incorrectly back to the restaurant. I was already two minutes away and told her I did not have it with me. She said "Too bad. If you want the new food you will have to bring the old food back." I called my husband and he brought the food up to the restaurant while I waited for the new food to be made. I spoke with Carlos, a manager who has been dealing with us for all these years, and he made sure everything was resolved. I elaborated on how rude Audrey was to me and how she also answered the phone when I was in mid conversation with her at the counter. We will sadly never come to this restaurant again. read more

Love this place- consistently great service, amazing food, great drinks, etc. They are always busy, but we've never had to wait more than 2 or 3 minutes for a table. The portion sizes are also quite large, which most people consider a pro. I always have leftovers, so the price seems to be well worth the portions. read more

Always fast service and great food! There are several options in town but this place is by far the best.

Me and my boyfriend went out to eat here today. We had a waitress with dark brown/black hair, and she was nice at first...until he ordered some tacos and the flour tortillas tasted off somehow. Well, he had asked politely to get it swapped out for corn when she came over and she just made a face, grabbed the tacos, and walked away. We were stunned as we are both full time servers too. After somebody else brought the new tacos out we ate and talked about desert. She was MIA until 15 minutes later when she returned with the check. She didn't give us time to ask about boxes, or order a dessert, and I wanted another Pina colada. But we just paid and left a bunch of leftovers there on the table. I am so sad as we only get such limited time off and this was supposed to be an enjoyable meal. This was also the first time I have ever, and I mean in my entire life, not tipped 25%. I left her with nothing. Because of the face she made and her careless attitude. We will not be returning read more

The salsa tastes like someone dumped cumin in. The cheese dip is bland. Rice and beans were great. Not clean.

Excellent fish tacos with incredible coleslaw - might sound weird but it works! Friendly staff. El pastor tacos are great too.

This is really good Mexican! Stopped in on a whim. They have two-for-one margaritas from open to 9 pm every Mon-Thurs too! Definitely stop in. You won't be disappointed. read more

Best Mexican in town and great service! Y'all have to come and try this wonderful place !

The chicken soup is to die for they give you a slice of avocado with a whole chicken breast rice and tortilla strips tell him to put the tortilla strips on the side read more

Plenty of food choices! We've been here a few times with family. I love how much room is inside. It doesn't look very big from the outside because it is in a strip mall type space but it is very roomy inside. I don't enjoy cramped restaurants that make you feel like you can't move an inch without bumping into your neighbor. I chose the combo with a hard shell taco, a beef enchilada, rice, and beans. The taco had a generous amount of ground beef and the shell was crunchy and fresh. They gave me a choice of cheese sauce or something else on the enchilada. They had me at cheese sauce so I don't even know what the other one was but I made the right choice. The enchilada was very good. The rice and beans were good also. The service was great. The food came out fast and our drinks were never empty. The only thing I would change is their wine selection. They serve Barefoot wines in a glass but they are poured from the little plastic bottles you buy at the liquor store. I have no problem with wine in the little bottles but Sutter Home would be a much better selection. read more

La comida es muy buena, salvo el servicio es asi-asi, There are several Mexican restaurants in Dickson (all of which I have eaten at several times) and I always find myself recommending and going to Camino's the most of them all. As my Spanish excerpt said (I speak enough to be dangerous) "the food is good but the service is so-so." It all starts with the chips & salsa, and although there's is not the worlds greatest, it is extremely good. They serve all of the what I call the "American Mexian" staples along with some delicious specialty dishes. Everything I have gotten here has always been well prepared and full of flavor. I have no particular favorite here, but I do find myself gravitating to their chicken entrees. They have a great lunch menu but don't go here looking for a fast lunch as they can be very slow. Really not a lot to review here as everything is good... by far the best Mexican food in Dickson. I have a little advice while eating here, and this is for any Mexican restaurant; order the "steak" instead of the ground beef and the "grilled chicken" instead of the shredded chicken... there will be an up-charge but it is more than worth it (you can thank me later) read more

This is a fun place with great food and hard working people. I've been going for 25 yrs. No need to try any other Mexican restaurant in Dickson. read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant! The salsa and margaritas are fantastic. The steak fajita's are so good!

The restrooms leave you feeling dirtier than when you entered, so go beforehand. The food, however, is plentiful and tastes superb, and if you use a little Spanish the service is excellent. read more
