This place is a local gem. There are very traditional Mexican dishes and very very authentic. I live so many dishes here. All the French toast are yummy from the Fresa con crema to the dulce de leche. The chilaquiles are so authentic and spot on. The soups are all awesome!!! chicken soup , cocido, tortilla soup ,albondiga, and menudo everyday. Sooooooo GOOD!!! Have been coming here for years and highly recommend!!! The prices are also excellent. The service is great and Isabel our server is nice and provides exceptional servic service.
First time here, food is great! Place looks very welcoming with a great selection of Mexican food I got the molcajete.
I just had the BEST menudo I've ever had in my life. And that's coming from working at Mexican restaurants all my life. They have red and white and the tendon is PERFECT!
I have been to this place a couple of times but forgot how good the food is. Marina gave exceptional service. The chiliquiles roja was savory and delicious. The carne asada was seasoned to perfection with a great char from the open flame it was cooked on. I recommend this place and come. Next trip would be lunch or dinner.
The food was delicious. Everything tasted soo good and reminded me of home. From the American breakfast to the Mexican food. The beans and rice were delicious. The caldo was light and tasty. Overall would 10/10 recommend! It's at the end of the plaza by the gas station. Service was great, she was super friendly and attentive with myself and my daughters. She did everything she could to make us feel at home and we definitely appreciated it. The prices were very reasonable. We will come back!
Went here for the 1st time and was not disappointed. Delicious food & great prices. Homemade tortillas and also great service Definitely will be back
My mom wanted to try a new place for Mother's Day so we decided to dine here on the Friday before. The restaurant was completely empty around 6pm, and throughout our time there until close to 8pm only 1 other party (a family of 3) came in. We were the only ones in the entire restaurant and I thought that was unusual. I didn't think that was a good sign, but I figured (or hoped) that people were just busy elsewhere considering it was a holiday weekend. Service was slow, but our waitress was really nice. I liked that the place had plenty of booths and overall had cute decor, but the food was absolutely disgusting in my opinion. I ordered the Chile Verde Nachos and they had no flavor. They don't come with beans so I asked to add some and they hardly put any. The chips were dark and greasy. They don't come with sour cream so I asked for a side. They had a tiny bit of guacamole on top. The flavor was just not good. I forced myself to eat some because I also ordered a side of Beef Taquitos and those were even worse. They tasted burnt, stale, and flavorless. The edges were dark and burnt and the middle was chewy. Just bad all around and I couldn't eat them at all. My husband ordered Cheese Enchiladas which he said were okay, but they mostly tasted spicy instead of flavorful and had too much cheese. I tried them myself and didn't like them. The cheese inside was not melted. They almost gave him Chicken Enchiladas, but the waitress caught the error from the cook and came to double check with my husband first. She said she wanted to make sure he ordered cheese because that's what she wrote down although the cook had made chicken. The beans that came on the side were okay, but the rice was flavorless. We also ordered a Kids Quesadilla and the cheese was not melted. The tortilla tasted like the grill and it was the second to last plate that came out at the very end even though kids meals usually come out first. I heard our waitress asking the cook about the kids quesadilla as if he had forgotten it. My cousin ordered the Supreme Nachos which are supposed to come with sour cream according to the menu, but they didn't. She had to ask and they brought her a side. Our entire party of 8 came here to celebrate my mom and my mom hated her meal. She ordered a Chile Relleno plate and her beans were cold. The cheese on the beans wasn't melted. The cheese inside the Chile Relleno wasn't melted. Everything was flavorless. She said the sauce didn't even taste like an actual sauce. I can't remember the last time I experienced this many issues when dining somewhere. No one enjoyed their food and it definitely wasn't the Mother's Day meal I was hoping for. I felt embarrassed for even finding this place on Yelp in the first place. I had higher expectations based on the pics and reviews, but it was extremely disappointing. The price wasn't bad, but I honestly would never come back here again.

Stuck in a nondescript shopping center, Camino Real offers good but not remarkable Mexican food. The server was attentive. While the interior was dated, the music playing inside brought the Latinx vibe to the meal. The chips and salsa were good (almost enough spice level for me). I ordered machaca con huevos, which was a decent sized serving, along with rice, beans, and a fried Serrano chili. I washed it all down with coffee, which also was acceptable but not exceptional. With those noted, what really stood out was the affordability here. The total was about $17 without tip. (My last 2 breakfasts out were around $30.) If you're in the area, give this small family-run restaurant a try. read more

Been coming to this spot since high school, C/O 2001 . My favorite has been what they're known for, the Chile verde. I personally get it in the nachos and they always give big chunks of pork in that great green salsa they make. Have tried it in burritos as well and its delicious. Not too salty or overly spicy and always have good servings. Had the green chilaquiles recently and they were pretty solid. The beans were a little off that day but usually pretty good. The house salsa was missing some salt but still had some good flavor. Service is usually pretty fast and restaurant is pretty clean. Also tried the caldo de pollo and the veggies were fresh and the broth was clean. read more

This local, family restaurant has been open since the 1980s. They are famous for their Chile Verde. The Chile Verde is honestly amazing & some of the best I've ever had. They have a huge variety of dishes & everything I had was incredible. This place is such a hidden gem & 100% a MUST try! What I Ordered: Chile Verde Nachos, Creamy Chicken Chipotle Burrito, French Toast Slam, Huevos Rancheros, Blueberry Lemonade, Cucumber Limon, Chips & Salsa About the Food: Chile Verde Nachos- You absolutely NEED to get these when you come here. Topped with loads of cheese & Chile Verde, these nachos were a flavor explosion. The meat is seriously melt in your mouth tender. The Chile Verde just soaked right into the chips providing just the most amazing bite. Huevos Rancheros- This dish comes with rice, beans, & served on tortillas. A complete meal in a dish. The eggs on this dish were perfectly cooked. I love how simple yet delicious this dish is. All the components pair so perfectly with one another. Creamy Chicken Chipotle Burrito- This burrito is stuffed with chicken, rice, onions, cilantro, & topped with creamy chipotle sauce. The chicken was super moist and tender. I love how generous the portions were as well. French Toast Slam- In addition to their Mexican dishes, they serve American breakfast dishes as well which includes the French Toast Slam. It comes with 4 toast halves, 2 eggs, 2 sausages, & 2 pieces of bacon. I absolutely love this French toast & it's some of the best I've ever had. Each piece was filled with delicious cinnamon flavor & the perfect level of sweet. I could not get over how much I loved this dish! Drinks- Both of the drinks we got super incredibly yummy & freshly prepared. I loved the cucumber limon as it was super refreshing & light. The blueberry lemonade was the perfect level of sweet & had a delicious fruity taste. Overall, I loved all the food I ordered & was surprised by how amazing everything was. I can't wait to come back to try more of the menu. This will definitely be one of my new go to restaurants! Don't miss out & make sure to check this place out! IG: @kristys.kravings read more

This place is amazing! I found this place through my friends Instagram stories and the nachos caught my eye! They even have soup which was a plus because I'm obsessed with chicken soup in Mexican restaurants. We got seated right away on a Sunday lunch, they have outside patio seating as well. Parking is super easy since they are in a plaza. My boyfriend and I ordered the chicken soup, chicken nachos, and chorizo con huevos. We didn't wait long for our food and everything came out the same time. The chicken soup was pretty good just a bit salty but I like how they added green beans and the chicken was super moist and soft. My boyfriend's chorizo con huevos was alright it was just a bit dry but not bad because it wasn't greasy or oily at all and we prefer that. But the beans was a wow factor here! We both loved the beans it was so good! And flavorful. Lastly the chicken nachos was AMAZING! There was enough amount of cheese melted in ever bite of tortilla chips. They are super generous with the cheese and the chicken. I was kinda hesitant that they said they also topped with Chile verde so I asked for it on the side. But turns out it was freaking delicious and best Chile verde I ever tried! It is not over salty and it paid really well with the nachos. Overall I'm really satisfy with everything here! When I eat Mexican food i usually get a super greasy feeling but this did not and I would for sure come back!! Price is super affordable and service is nice!! read more

I had the original nachos. They pour on the chile verde and puerco bits. The pork was super tender. I like the flavor of the verde sauce a lot! I loved the melty cheese too. Only issue is the chile verde sauce is so thin and liquidy that it's hard to get nice scoopfuls of salsa because it all settles at the bottom and makes the chips soggy. read more

I've been looking for a place that has a wet burrito. This place does not disappoint. The ladies were so nice to me, they brought out some chips & salsa while I wait for my food. I ordered a wet chicken burrito with verde sauce. Delicious! I can't wait till I go back to try other items on their menu. read more

First of all, I really wanted to love this place since I've been seeing it on social media and craving to try their food for a while. I originally tried to order food last weekend but because I called 10 min before 8pm they told me they couldn't take my order since they close at 8 (understandable). So I finally got to try them today. We ordered the Chile verde nachos, carne asada burrito and carne asada torta. Chile verde nachos: I was so excited to try these out but they felt short of what I expected. When i got home with my order they were super soggy tortilla chips and absolutely no Chile verde salsa left on them. I'm thinking the chips soaked them up.... or maybe the nachos were meant to be that soggy.... I just thought nachos were supposed to be crunchy. Mind you when I put the order they said in 15 min it would be ready and I arrived in 10 min, paid then left home which I only live about 2-3 min drive away. Idk I just assumed they would have had more salsa on them and chips not as soggy. Maybe I needed to ask for everything separately or it should be done in that way. HOWEVER, I do want to mention that the pork was tender and tasted good. Carne Asada Burrito: My issue with this was that it was basically a bean burrito with a little bit of meat and almost no cilantro/onion and no rice. I felt like I was just having a bean burrito. The plus side to this is that it was a decent size. Carne Asada torta: The torta too had a lot of beans to it and not much meat. Unfortunately I didn't get to take a pic of this one. I spent about $30 for all three items and kind of expected a bit more. I really wanted to love this place. I will consider trying their food again but maybe will do their breakfast instead. read more

I got to try out many mexican dishes that were all very tasty to eat! Having friends to join me in this incredible meal, the best dish here was hands down their nachos, which the staff mentioned was a customer favorite! The meat in the dish was so soft and tender, we just kept grabbing for more as we bite with a nice crunch. Adding their salsa on top with the other dishes? Chef's kiss. They also provided us their new dish, the french toast, and got to say the dish was superb. The staff here was super friendly and we felt comfortable and satisfied at our stay here. read more
