We like this place and decided to celebrate Cinco de Mayo '26 here. It was packed but they handled everything so well: the wait wasn't bad, the service and food were excellent as usual and the ambiance was festive. It was a great experience overall and we will gladly come back! read more

It was really good. The place was SO clean it was the only thing I could focus on until our food came If you know the place and bathroom are that clean they don't play in the kitchen. It was busy and everyone had margaritas. I was rushing waiting for the dog groomer so I didn't get to enjoy any drinks but I'll have to go back and try it! I got the steak tacos, daughter got kids chicken quesadilla, & bf got pastor tacos. His were so juicy and flavorful. My daughter liked hers. Mine weren't bad but the corn tortilla was SO dry and hard and the meat was dry/ lacked flavor. I loaded it with hot sauce, salsa, salt & pepper. Will be going back. read more

Food was extremely mediocre and of poor quality. I received brown guacamole and hardly any food. I also requested extra protein since the restaurant allowed special instructions and stated there could be an additional charge per request. I know they read the instructions because I also asked for no pico, and that request was followed. My wife ordered the mole enchiladas but received red sauce instead. She also said the chicken was dry. We will never be going back. read more

The food is hit and miss. We usually eat here once a week and it's seems inconsistent in my opinion. My husband and child the pollo and chorizo and that does seem consistent but other items do not. The service however is wonderful. The staff and owner are fantastic individuals. The ambiance is always fun and friendly. read more

Camino Viejo is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Frankfort! My family and I have been coming here for years, the food is delicious, the staff is so kind, and prices are so reasonable. The best part is that it's family owned. They always make it so special for the holidays and the ambience is festive and well kept. read more

Eh, it's decent, pero la carne un poco dura. I hate to say it, but the tacos aren't worth what we paid. The asada was tough, and the chorizo was so mushy. Why was it mushy!? Chips and salsa were good, I enjoyed those. The rice was good. I'm indifferent about the beans, they tasted like canned refried beans, which I love, but wasn't expecting. I'll come back again to try a different dish, but if you're just looking for tacos, this one isn't it ): I gave it three stars because the quality wasn't there, but everything else was. The waitress and host were very kind and the service was fast. And the restaurant was decorated for Valentine's Day! Oh, and they have a full bar! read more

Small family-owned business. Of all the items on the menu here I truly believe they have the best tasting Tacos in the area. There are quite a few different styles to choose from, and I love them all, no S**t.. If you plan it right and hit the off hours you avoid the rush and can get pretty quick service. So, to sum it up when I have a taste for Tacos this is my first thought..!!! read more

Still one of our go-to Mexican restaurants. Service is very good. Family owned. Food comes rather quickly and is very tasty. Have new menus which are able to see what is available. Very nice corner establishment. Have not had a bad meal here. Still think $11 is a little steep for a frozen margarita. read more

First time here. The food and drinks were decent but nothing special, and the pricing seemed fair. However, the service was extremely slow and just not good. This was while the place was at least half empty with more than adequate wait staff present. We were never given water, and we had to ask twice for our hot salsa even after our cup of mild salsa was obviously completely empty. We ordered appetizers and 20 minutes later the waitress came back and asked if she had brought us our appetizers. It was was obvious there were no signs of any appetizers ever having been on the table. Our waitress was not very good at her job or maybe just having an extremely bad day. Every time we asked for something she said she would "be right back with that" or "be back in two seconds" and then would not come back for 15 minutes. We can only assume she was inexperienced. We still tipped over 20% because that's how we roll, but we probably would not return as it is far from home and not a great experience. We just happened to be in the area today. I will give them a very generous 4 stars. read more

Love this place. The food is always good, service is great, and it's always clean and nice. Everyone is so accommodating. My favorite is the quesa birria tacos. read more

My new favorite Mexican restaurant! First the place is decorated really cute. The food was outstanding! I had pollo chorizo, the chicken was so tender and seasoned perfect! The elote was the best! Quesebirria tacos were great my daughter said. Everything we had was really good I have been looking for a really good Mexican place and I have found it. We will be going back. Our server was nice & they were busy! I definitely recommend read more

Service was A+ super sweet and attentive server. Started with the guacamole and it was not good. I've been here twice before did not have this issue then. The color of it was off and it had no flavor other than lime. We had tacos and they were bland. The rice and beans were very good. The margaritas were watery tasting. I was sad because we have had great meals here last year. read more

Camino Viejo, ok now What a little hidden gem! The great hospitality from the moment we walked in the door, the service, and presentation of our meals were all 5 stars!!! It was a chilly day out, so I decided to try the Tortilla Soup, this was a great choice as the soup was packed with flavor, shredded chicken cheese and Tortilla strips. We were served warm chips and a mildly spicy salsa. We ordered 2 Margaritas ( Strawberry and Mango) they were mixed just right, and a good sized serving. We both ordered Fajitas with steak, I also added shrimp, the steak was seasoned but not to the point of being over seasoned. The dinner includes the sour cream, Quacamole, Refried Beans and Rice. We had a good portion to take home, although you only get 4 street taco sized Corn Tortillas with the meal. Going to Emagine to see a movie, leave early and have Dinner at Camino Viejo , you will hands down enjoy the meal !!!! read more

The size of their burritos and the meat they use a better arrachera a.k.a. skirt steak

Had previously eaten here a few times in recent weeks and enjoyed the food but yesterday had a horrible experience. We ordered 3 fajita meals and a skirt steak meal. The skirt steak smelled rancid and tasted foul. when I notified the manger he insisted it was fine and "sometimes the blood just smells different" but refused to taste it. I asked him to replace it with a fajita meal since the meat in those orders was fine but he refused stating it was the same meat. He finally agreed to refund the charge but that left one person without a meal but suffering stomach pain and nausea from the spoiled skirt steak partially consumed. The waitress was extremely apologetic but the manager was rude and combative. They lost our business and we are no longer recommending anyone try this restaurant due to this experience. read more

Nice place in the same plaza as Emagine Theater in Frankfort Il. Not a lot of tables but we didn't have to wait. Nice patio with outdoor dining. Chips are very good. Chimichanga was tasty. Prices reasonable. read more

Awesome food, environment and service. Love that this is a smaller place that not everyone knows about. I come here all the time and love it. My only complaint is that the prices seem to go up every few months... I used to come here and get a great meal and leave spending a fair price for my food so that helped me tip well.. a dish that I was paying 18.99 for is now 28.99.. I still tip well, but I have cut back on what I order now since the prices keep going up. I understand everything has gone up.. but now i spend a lot more and get less.. it is what it is, the business has to stay afloat so prices need to go up. But it also starts pushing customers way. read more

Stopped in with friends for dinner. Food was delish and arrived at the table quickly. Server was friendly and very attentive. We'll be back. Dining room is very clean and nicely decorated. read more

Food was terrible. Carne asada smelled rotten. Guac had a weird taste. Overall, not a good experience.

The food here is so good! It's my family's favorite Mexican restaurant. I highly recommend any steak dish.

The food here is incredible! Everything is really fresh and the margaritas are great. The steak torta is the best I've ever had, and my wife loves the steak tacos. Extra bonus is that it is right next to Emagine Theatre. read more

Had dinner here for the first time. Ordered the chicken with mole sauce. Chicken is cut into bite size pieces and served on plate with mole sauce rice and beans with a side of tortillas. Also enjoyed a house Margarita. It was not busy and I received prompt service. This is not a large restaurant but it is tastefully decorated with a small bar. Not a loud party atmosphere. The menu has many interesting dishes that you don't find at the local taco restaurants. Pricing is average. Entree around $22.00. The chips and salsa served at beginning were ok. Salsa more of a smoky flavor. Chips were ok. read more

Food, service, cleanliness everything was outstanding Queso dip was the best part!!!!!! read more

We were worried when we were walking in. It looked like no one was there. Especially for a Friday night dinner. But we're glad we dined in. The chips were hot and fresh. The salsa was very good. A little smoky and a touch of heat. Steak and Al pastor were both tender and full of flavor. Chicken was not as tender but quite good. My son loved the fries. Drinks were good and all the prices were very reasonable. We got there at the right time, because they got very busy right after we walked in can't wait to go back to try more of the menu. Servers were friendly, attentive and quick. The food was delivered so fast. We thought it was someone else's. Haha. Thank you! read more

We have a hidden gem in Frankfort/Mokena! Authentic Mexican food with an upscale atmosphere and if your for dining outside due to the pandemic they have a beautiful patio! Everything about this place is memorable from the well seasoned food to the fresh vibe. I ordered the chicken fajitas and I sampled their tacos one beef one chicken and one shrimp. The flavors were popping in my mouth and you get a good ratio of meat to tortilla. This restaurant checks off all the right boxes! Delicious flavors, great atmosphere and cleanliness. I will return for the outside dining experience. read more

Fantastic authentic Mexican food and the staff and service is always so wonderful! We have been coming here for a few years. It's become a little tradition to eat here before catching a movie at Emagine. We love the steak and al pastor tacos, queso fundido, and micheladas. read more

Camino Viejo - Mexican Near Me - Frankfort, Illinois

My sister and I were out shopping and we decided to stop in for lunch. We were encouraged by the positive online reviews and figured we'd enjoy it. The restaurant was completely empty when we arrived so we were seated immediately. There was only one employee working the dining room so she ended up being our waitess. We both ordered the taco lunch special. It came with two tacos, rice and beans. I ordered the steak (Carne Asada) and my sister ordered the beef. (Piccadillo) We liked the seasoned beef better than the steak, but the food was pretty good. We also ordered Coke's initially, but sent them back because they weren't good. I ended up getting lemonade instead and my sister asked for water. They served chips and salsa before our food came out, but we didn't care much for the salsa. The food arrived less than 15 minutes after we ordered. They prepared it extremely fast. The bill was about $20 which is extremely reasonable for lunch. We'll be repeat customers for sure. read more

Located near Emagine theater , this makes for a nice movie and dinner experience . Two sides of the establishment is mostly glass so it feels spacious and over looks the patio outside . On Sunday and Thursday house margaritas are half price . Egg platters are available from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM . Plenty of different import beer and wine to choose from . Staff was very attentive and had a high priority of cleanliness and neatness . Place mats and chairs immediately set right as people left . A choice of four or five desserts . My all time favorite is fried ice cream , I will come here just for that treat . read more

I love this place! I've told others about it too and they say it's great . The sauce on the tacos is yummy and delicious. I'd give it more stars if I could. Always clean and staff is friendly! read more

I stopped here for a quick to-go dinner for myself. The ambience is fairly standard for a Mexican restaurant. I really enjoyed the steak tacos with cilantro and onion. The steak was tender and not gummy or hard to chew, which tells me that they used high-quality meat and knew how to prepare it well. I also enjoyed my ground beef tacos and corn tortillas. However, I didn't enjoy the queso fundido. I expected it to be more like a queso dip, but it was cheese that was melted yet still sort of solid, which made it difficult to enjoy even though the flavors were there. The servers were nice and quick; it didn't take long at all for my food to be ready for pick-up. Overall, it's probably one of the better Mexican restaurants in this area. I would recommend it and will go back. read more

I ate here soon after it opened, and I liked the food. It was pre pandemic, so service was good. The restaurant was loud, but the outside patio was quite nice. Unfortunately, I ended up getting sick on the food, so I've not returned. Exercise caution when ordering anything with chorizo in it, as that is what I got sick on. read more

What a GREAT find! Food is so amazingly fresh tasting at a very reasonable price! Establishment is so clean and friendly! My only go to Mexican restaurant now!!! Thank you! read more

First time here. I'll be back. Food was very good and came out quick. Some other reviewers reported that meat was dry. I had 2 different tacos and both were moist and piled high with meat and toppings. I especially like their salsa. We came for lunch but plan to be back for dinner and a few drinks. Covid measures are in force. Masks for staff and socially distanced tables. The also have outdoor seating. Inside the restaurant was very clean also. Someone reviewed that the water here was bad. If you live in Frankfort you know how bad the water is. Lol But maybe they installed a new filter because it tasted fine. I'd recommend giving them a try. read more

Camino Viejo - 2 Taco Lunch - Mexican Near Me - Frankfort, Illinois

best mexican restaurant in the south suburbs. Whenever I am back in town I always try and get the shrimp tacos. Recently got a veggie burrito and it was DELICIOUS. read more

This place used to be great. This time, no. There was only 2 other tables and it took a long time for the waitress to even address us. We then ordered and not a whole lot because it was too expensive. The entrees are priced way too high. I realize many restaurants had to up their prices, but this is a little too much for rice/beans added to an entree. The tacos are priced just right so we ordered a few of those and an order of guacamole. The meat in the tacos was not seasoned very well and the salsa barely had any cilantro. I will choose another Mexican restaurant over this one going forward. read more

First time at Camino Viejo tonight. Food was great! Had steak fajitas with plenty of leftovers. Chips and salsa were good. Seated immediately on a moderately busy Wednesday at 6 pm. Server was friendly and out to the table with our orders within 10 minutes. Numerous timely drink refills. Looks like it has a nice outdoor seating area. My only knock on the place was the temperature indoors which was reading 80 on the thermostat. I'll definitely be going back read more

I've eaten almost everything on the menu here and I have to say I was never disappointed! I love their steak tacos and Tampiquenas the best! Service was outstanding as well! read more

1st time dinning since the name change/new management. I have heard from others that this was a good place. And it was very good. We went on a busy Saturday night and was able to sneak in with only the two of us. Service was great, food was good, drinks were cold and the bill was within budget. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good meal, and a nice atmosphere read more

Decent food with reasonable prices Ambience was nice also definitely recommend Good location

We love Camino Viejo - the food is so fresh and everything is reasonably priced, We were so tired of paying $$$ for food in another area restaurant so we tried Camino Viejo. Not only is it more authentic, we loved the staff, the food and the cocktails so much better. It is our go-to Mexican restaurant in the area. read more
