    Been meaning to try here for some time but it's a smidge out of the way from where I normally am when I go to Albuquerque. Fountain sodas are from a can, and the one I had tasted off. Almost ordered a burger taco, was asked if I wanted cheese as it's not extra so I ordered a cheeseburger. It was pretty good. Turns out, its $3 more than the hamburger was (so much for not charging for cheese). For a "fat cheeseburger" it was normal sized. Had mashed potatoes with gravy for the side, was OK. The homemade chips give out are fantastic. Service was ok, very friendly but it annoyed me that I had to go across the restaurant to snag a napkin. The atmosphere was nice but in need of a cleaning and maybe update. While the place was clean, there was a lot that was worn down over the years needing some TLC (or a deep scrubing and a little paint). The plates and cups also need replacing when they're chipped and cracked as badly as I was served today.

    Ground Beef Taco Salad
    John D.

    Decided to try this place after getting some recommendations. Walking thru a door that's seen better days we step into a place from eras long gone. We're ok with nostalgia for a simpler time. Grab a booth and menus arrive immediately. Drink orders given and get served with chips (some homemade) & salsa. Food selection was difficult. Carne Asada Burrito & Papas for me and a Ground Beef Taco Salad. The burrito was overloaded with meat and a nice amount of whole beans(v refried beans). Good flavor and plenty there. The taco salad was good - no dressing tho. Salsa or salad dressing would have made it better. In both cases there was enough for another meal. As for the sopapillas - they didn't come with a combination of honey & corn syrup. They come with the real thing. We opened a fresh bottle of 100% honey. Yes there is a difference in taste.

    El Camino Dining Room on Route 66 in Albuquerque, NM, was one of our favorite stops during our visit... a visit focused on fan-boying our way through various Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul filming locations. From the moment you step through the door, you are transported to the nostalgic era of the 1950s, with its historical aura and charming decor that perfectly captures the spirit of that time. The quaintness of El Camino Dining Room is truly enchanting. The attention to detail in preserving a vintage diner atmosphere is commendable, and every corner of the restaurant exudes a sense of authenticity. The small counter, the heavily lacquered wood tables, mismatched chairs, old-school coffee mugs... the whole place was a fun throwback to a different time of travel across our great country. What adds an extra layer of excitement for fans of the AMC series Better Call Saul is the knowledge that this charming establishment was featured in several episodes. The connection to the show adds a unique allure, and you can almost imagine the characters from the series enjoying a meal in this nostalgic setting... even though the show made the place seem a lot larger than it actually is! One of the standout features of El Camino Dining Room is the generous portion sizes. The dishes served here are not only delicious but also hearty, ensuring that you leave completely satisfied. The menu offers a variety of classic American comfort foods, each prepared with care and attention to quality. Reasonable prices, even with the worldwide markup of everything that has happened over the last couple of years. The outstanding service further elevates the dining experience. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about creating a memorable visit for patrons. Our interaction with the owner was a highlight, as she took the time to engage in casual conversation and share fascinating stories about Jonathan Banks and Rhea Seehorn, adding a personal touch to our experience. The owner's anecdotes about the actors from Better Call Saul added an extra layer of excitement to our visit. It was a pleasure to hear behind-the-scenes stories while enjoying a delicious meal. The casual and friendly atmosphere encouraged a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. El Camino Dining Room is a must-visit destination for those seeking a taste of Route 66 nostalgia, excellent food, and a touch of TV history. The staff even let me geek out and recreate a couple of photo-angles from behind the counter. If you're a fan of the show, or just a fan of unpretentiously good food and better service, you have to stop in here on your next visit to the ABQ.

    Steak and enchiladas, Christmas
    Tommy P.

    I haven't been here since the Nineties, but the place is just the same as it ever was. And the food seems to actually be better - so is the service. And so is the area. Came for lunch with a friend and we both enjoyed it. Friend had green huevos rancheros - he thought the green was good but noted that it's more the Río Abajo style. I had the ribeye and enchiladas, Christmas - perfectly medium-rare that I ordered and very tasty, and I'd note that the red is made from pods and not powder. (That's a good thing, if you're new to chile.) I was very happy with the red and preferred it to the (perfectly fine) green. The service was just flat outstanding: polite and helpful and on-the-spot with whatever was needed. I won't let almost thirty years go by again before going back to El Camino Dining Room - in fact, I suspect I'll be back before thirty DAYS pass. Very nice place.

    This is the inside of the El Camino dining room!

    In full disclosure, the El Camino dining room is right over my back wall. My brother was visiting and we were looking for a fun place to grab a bite to eat before he returned to California. When I suggested we take a walk over to the El Camino, I could see a smile crept over his face. There's always plenty of parking as it is a large lot. Inside, we arrived close to their closing time, hours are always 8 AM until 2 PM. My brother ordered a taco salad which he seemed to enjoy quite a bit. I had the chicken enchilada lunch with an egg over easy. I couldn't finish it all and saved a portion of it for lunch the next day. Pro tip: it microwaves very well the next day.

    So this is a nothing fancy little bit rustic old Mexican restaurant. It is apparently infamous for having been featured on the better call Saul series which I personally have never seen. I went with two friends and they were very excited to be able to sit in the booth that Kim said in?. Okay now for the review Service was wonderful we came around 1:00 p.m. and they were closing at 2:30 we were told to take our time. I had had Mexican food the day before and wasn't into Mexican so it took me a while but I found a burger that was surprisingly and exceptionally delicious. My two friends ordered Mexican entrees one of burrito that was enormous he could meet the whole thing the other person ordered a taco plate and she had to take a lot of it home. I didn't finish my burger although it was delicious and so where the french fries. The food is very reasonable Lee priced service was very kind and generous. I would go back there for another Burger any day of the week it was so delicious.

    Breakfast burritos and French toast
    Mike T.

    Ate breakfast for the first time at this legendary place- was not disappointed! My carne adovada with green was the best breakfast burrito I've ever had, and portions are huge. French toast was superb as well. Service was great and the atmosphere is very quaint/ local If you're a fan of Breaking Bad, this place was in Better Call Saul several times. Check out this local treasure ASAP!

    Blast from the Past!!! A throwback from Rt 66 days! Vintage interiors. Pueblo NM Architecture from 1950. Home cooking New Mexican foods w lots of local clientele. Sit at the counter and eat, booth, or table. Serves Breakfast and Lunch. No evening dinner. I ordered the Lydia's Special for brunch which was very good and not too much. A fried flour tortilla w 2 eggs, green chili stew and cheese on top. Very tasty and the green chili stew was not to hot. The fried flour was a nice change. Service and atmosphere was relaxed but good. Prices have gone up since I was last here a few years ago. Closes at 2:30pm. Take your out of town family or friends here for a view of yesterday!!

    Breakfast burrito
    Amber W.

    I have visited at El Camino for breakfast for years now since they are in our neighborhood. There is nothing fancy about this place but service is always really fast and friendly, and the portions are huge. I also believe that it's family owned and operated. We like to come eat here when we want a simple, quick & good breakfast.

    The El Camino is on historic Route 66.
    Arwen L.

    Just ate here for the first time. Husband unit has been on the hunt for a place that is just real. Too many pretend to be down home goodness. Well, the El Camino isn't pretending. This place, around since 1950, is the real deal. My husband had the nacho salad. He said it was very tasty and huge. I ordered the posole with red chili. So good. Their red chili is a smoky goodness on the tongue. But I need to back up. The homemade HOT chips complimented the salsa like Richard Burton romancing Elizabeth Taylor. Then things got fun. We came in at 1:30 and were seated. It was obvious that they'd been busy. And were still busy. In fact, we were the last table seated because they close at two. I noticed a woman beginning to show all the signs of an entitled hissy fit. She commented that other people were getting their food. Then she asked if she could speak to management. So the owner spoke to them. They had already brought out some mashed potatoes for the child with them. There were three adults and the child. When the food arrived, it wasn't correct. They offered to remake it. Mrs. Entitlement wasn't having it. She said to leave it as they had waited too long. Then she said that they wouldn't be paying for it. The manager said no to that. So Mrs. Entitlement lost it. Yelled. Complained. Showed her butt. And the owner raised her voice back. Now. The owner admittedly lost her cool. But, as an eyewitness to the whole thing, the owner was not out of line. It ended with the woman's child sobbing, the husband apologizing, and one of the employees going outside to make sure they left. The woman screamed "I'll make sure no one ever eats here again!" Yes, I'm serious. Talk about entitlement. So our first, but not last, meal at the El Camino was, as they say, memorable. To Mrs. Entitlement...We will be eating there again. The food is worth the wait.

    House omelet with sausage
    Marty S.

    Food was good. In my opinion the green Chile has a better flavor than the red. One of us had huevos rancheros and the other had a house omelet with sausage. The coffee and salsa were great. Food took a bit long before coming out.

    Soggy carne asada tacos. Carne asada was drenched in some awful sauce. Couldn't even eat a bite, was so horrible. What a waste of money.

    Great servers! Everyone was helpful and kind so front of house manager must be doing their job!…read moreFood was delicious. Crispy Brussels sprouts had great flavor but way too much cayenne pepper (which adds nothing but heat) my husband ate them but said he would prefer less heat. I had 2 bites and gave up. Baked brie was amazing I loved the granny Smith apples! My husband loved them too. We also got the hummus duo which has dates on it and I used a date in the brie that was fantastic! I'll ask for that next time! It was the bomb. Hummus duo was good the watermelon radish was beautiful on the plate but gave both hummus a bitter flavor. Shrimp and grits. We live in Alabama currently and this was our least favorite dish of the day. Shrimp were cooked well and so were the grits but there was just something else it needed. Parmesan cheese and some onions maybe. Greek salad delicious. The flash fried chick peas made it. We needed more dressing and the wait staff was prompt and sweet about it. Spicy Lime Ceasar was ok till he requested more dressing then it was amazing. I was afraid of ordering it but the dressing wasn't too spicy . White sangria I had was disappointing it was more of a 1995 wine spritzer than a wine infused with citrus which is the very essence of sangria. It was ok and had I ordered a wine spritzer I would say yummo but I ordered sangria. Pork Belly flat bread was the winner of the night the tomato jam made that dish. I would love more on it next time but we will definitely be ordering that dish again! Yes we had a lot of left over food! But I love sampling a menu and this menu has a lot to offer.

In a rare turn of events, both kids got the same thing, the Korean chicken bites with the sauce on the side, which was a great decision bc it did have a kick to it. The chicken itself was a bit dry. Both adults also got the pork belly flatbread. I found it a bit unbalanced with too much sauce and not enough other toppings, and the base wasn't as crispy as I prefer. Speaking of crispy, we opted for the appetizer brussel sprouts, and they were a bit chewy and on the not so super crispy side. Service was fine, and glad to have a little break from heavier New Mexican cuisine on this night. Lots of variety on the cocktail and adult beverage menu too.

    We tried this place again and we can officially say this is our favorite place to eat on the…read morewestside! Great service again, delicious food, and great vibes over the speakers as well! This time we tried the Shrimp Po' Boy, Green Chile Pep Pizza, and of course the chicken strips and Mac N Cheese for the little one. Everything was top notch again!!!! We will be back High Point! Keep doing what you're doing!! Oh yeah, the Chips n Queso is bomb too!

    Went tonight after we'd noticed awhile back they were closed. Food was absolutely as wonderful as…read moreever. The sunrise burger is still one of hubby's favorites in the city, and the fries are incredible. I tried the High Point Mac & cheese (green chile mac w/steak sliced on top) and yowza. So much flavor, and the steak was perfectly tender. The restaurant has food nailed. And our server was amazing. Unfortunately, th manager did a poor job estimating how busy they'd be on a Friday night, so the two servers were running ragged. The manager pitched in, but they were playing catch up with the silverware and we had to wait for it when the food arrived. Which, no biggie, but it was a fork when I had steak and my husband had a messy burger. So we right away asked for knives. I pointed out my steak, and the manager got snarky with us like she got it. But then she brought us butter knives. When I got up and went to the bar to ask for a steak knife, her attitude was even faker. I don't abide fake when someone's eyes and mouth clearly say they think you're stupid or annoying or both. As a manager, you learn how to school your face and keep people happy or you don't last in management long. Also, if she miscalculated staffing, then it should have been her job to get into the bathrooms and keep them presentable. They weren't. Paper everywhere, and the walls need some serious touch ups. It's hard for people to trust the food safety if the job-food public areas aren't kept clean and well-maintained, you know? We'll be back because the food IS awesome and we always have an enjoyable meal. But they definitely need to turn an eye toward building upkeep and service.
