Always a great place to eat and shop. The buffet has a great selection, recommend the party potatoes, and they also have a good selection on their menu. Service was a little slow but as always they were busy read more

Seriously, what a fantastic place! The food is plentiful in quantity as much as quality! The people who work here are simply fantastic, they're so kind, genuine, and they treat you well. The place feels like you're at a friend or family member's house eating a home cooked meal. I can't recommend this place enough. 5/5 Food, 5/5 Service, 5/5 Ambiance. read more

With few dining options in Clinton, this is a good place for standard American Mexican food. Quick and food is what is expected. Over last couple years it has slipped a bit. Still good for a meal. They accommodate large groups well. Cinco de Mayo is a better option for more authentic options and better ambiance. read more

Never knew this was here until now. Easy to get into, fast friendly staff, and fast service. Good vegetarian selection as well if you don't care for the spicy meat selections, go early on a weekend night as it tends to get crowded later and later. I hope to go back sometime a small drive from 20 miles from the southeast. read more

This is hands down the best Mexican Food in Clinton, and honestly the surrounding area. Friendly and Fast Service, you get what you order, no bells and whistles, no watered down product. And the best Top Shelf Margarita I have found so far. I compare theirs to other places, and I haven't found one better. read more

Great original Mexican food. The best margarita and food. So enjoy. In Clinton Illinois

We visited CAMINO REAL during a short trip to Clinton, IL. My wife and I shared an order of chicken fajitas but got our own jumbo margaritas. She prefers "on the rocks", but I like mine "frozen" (blended). The salsa with the appetizer chips had good flavor and texture... blended but still chunky. The sizzling chicken fajitas were tasty. And the margaritas were fabulous... some of the best restaurant margaritas we have enjoyed. The staff was helpful, friendly, and responsive. It was a busy night, but we were greeted and seated in a short time. Looking forward to our next trip to Clinton, so we can try some other entrees at CAMINO REAL. read more

First time here, and this place was great!!! The food was amazing, it came out super fast, and the service was spectacular. Got the arroz con pollo and it was some of the best Mexican I have had in a long time. It was also refreshing to be able to dine inside. I live about 40 minutes away but this place is definitely worth the drive to come back. Highly recommend! read more

This is by far the best Mexican food in central Illinois. The salsa was great! And the queso was awesome as well! I had the Sincronizada with steak. I read another review on Yelp and it sounded good so I tried it. I was very happy with my choice. The steak was seasoned really well and cooked perfectly. My husband had the burrito loco with chicken. He said it was really good. Great service and overall a really good experience! Can't wait to go back! read more

Friendly staff that takes great care of you. Great chips and salsa! I have yet to have something I didn't like off the menu!

I was recommended to Camino Real by a couple coworkers. This place needs to seriously consider expanding. It was packed and the sitting area is small. The people next to us might as well joined our conversation because they were seated so close. Our server was attentive and friendly. He was funny too. One of our friends was late. She didn't have silverware yet. She asked for it. He said, "No, you were late." He said it with a straight face too which made it all the better. The cheese dip was good. Nice and gooey. The salsa was excellent. The official name escapes me but I had chorizo and steak tacos. I was a little disappointed they used flour tortillas. Maybe because it's a small town they cater to what the locals like. Tacos should always come in corn tortillas unless requested otherwise. I'd still rate them as good because they were packed with meat. They also come with a small thing of cheese sauce to put on them. The pico de gallo was almost colorless. I avoided using it. One of the more baffling things is in the middle of all the Mexican food on the menu is a horseshoe option. Next time I need to inquire about. read more

Well again, I don't generally do 5 stars but the service was awesome here. Place was authentic. Im on a mission to find El pastor " the Marinated pork" but nobody out in this area has it. So Ive given up that quest. This place makes "killer margaritas" probably out of a machine but so what? Xtra booze in mine!! They also had ... And this is what makes 5 stars. Sincronizada. Nobody & I mean nobody has it! Only seen it on a menu once! And once ever! In FLA for a place I reviewed there. Sincronizada for those not familiar is: outer shell deep fried quickly, can be rolled or unrolled. The filling is Steak, chicken or fish mixed w/ a guacamole filling. God its awesome! Camino Real had it unrolled w/ a different cheese sauce. Place in FLA had it rolled w/ a different sauce but both were fabulous! Yes seating can be cramped, yes its in a strip mall next to Wallyworld but so what. This place is best in Clinton, Lincoln and surrounding areas, so being privately owned, get over there & enjoy urself! Prices good , food good & u know what? There were 4 little old ladies celebrating a bday when I was there talking about takin a ride on some guys bike just cause it was there! Hilarious! Place is gr8! Go there, u wont be sorry! read more

Had a great lunch at Camino Real. The service was speedy, the prices were great and the food was yummy. My husband had the enchilada, burrito and tamale. I had the Chile releno, taco and guacamole salad. The food was served piping hot, just as we like it. Why would you go to a fast food Mexican restaurant when you can go to Camino Real instead? That's where you can have Mexican food quickly, reasonably priced and tasty! Enjoy at Camino Real! read more

Excellent service, food is delicious and affordable. Decor is a bit lacking, but would highly recommend!!

This place is excellent! Haven't tried everything, but I will be going back every opportunity I have.

The food is very tasty and service is very good. The restaurant is a little small and cramped but do understand based on limited location options without major capital investment. I would highly recommend the fajitas. The portion was way more than I could handle. The meat was tender and the veggies cooked to perfection. There are also lunch specials with prices under $5. We have enjoyed them as well with the same satisfaction. Highly recommend this place. Peak times sometimes result in a bit of a wait-But it's worth the wait. Nice folks that run this place. Trying very hard to provide dining options which we desperately need in Clinton. read more

Awesome el Camino real burrito. Very flavorful carne asada. The salsa is very fresh and flavorful too. Will definitely return.

Camino Real - Burrito loco was awsome you will absolutely love this place - Mexican Near Me - Clinton, Illinois

I've been a regular at this restaurant since it opened. Love the food and the service. They always add in jalapeños to my dish whenever I ask them and they are fresh, not from a jar! I also love a place that has 4 different hot sauces sitting on the table. It gets a little packed around supper time since this place is so popular so seating may be at a premium at times. read more

Camino Real - Arroz con Pollo with a little extra kick! - Mexican Near Me - Clinton, Illinois

The foods fine but they messed up my order multiple times, and try to charge me more than what the price on the menu says. Also doesn't do special requests *such as something on the side instead of together* but when food is ordered correctly it's not bad read more

Best Mexican food ever the service was great they're funny they make jokes and a very friendly place for the family

Went with the suggestion of others and had the sincronizadas with steak. I could only eat half after all the chips and guacamole I had as an appetizer. My husband had the same thing and we both agreed that this was one of the best Mexican dishes we have eaten. A must order when you go. We ate for under $20 and my husband had 2 import beers. Order a side of guacamole - you'll love it with your sincronizadas. read more

Great food excellent service! We always have very friendly service and they are very accommodating for large groups. Delicious food and salsa and everyone should try the papa nachos at least once. read more

Awesome and authentic Mexican food. We have never had anything from her that wasn't delicious. Great people and fair prices.

Love this restaurant! Always have been welcoming and nice! The employees are always fun and make you feel like family! Great food!

It was busy with patrons from the dance competition from the high school, but the service was pretty good. Perhaps a little more attention would have been appreciated. The food was very good. The chili poblanos were very good and my wife liked her chicken fajita quesadilla. The lunch portion was still very large. Would definitely go back again. read more

I go here every week with my dad and it's amazing every single time. The spicy entrees have a good kick and the food is always hot and flavorful. The service is always great, too. The staff is friendly and serve people in a very timely fashion. They also easily have the best steak in town. read more

Don't waste your time or money. Not sure why all the high marks. Every time, and I mean every time I get their food it's not good. It's either cold, tiny portions or just plain not good. read more

Very good food and service. They serve the typical "Tex-Mex" found throughout the central U.S.

By far the best Mexican Restaurant I've ever been to and I have been to a lot. The staff is friendly, the food is amazing and I've tried a lot of different things and have never been disappointed. The restaurant is clean and they have decent prices. I highly recommend you checking this place out. ;)) read more
