    Birria Quesadilla and Carnitas Taco
    Lizzy L.

    Cute, colorful, and lively eatery with friendly service! We came here for happy hour and it's a great amount of food for the price. Chips came out hot and fresh. Salsa had a nice little kick to it. The taco was alright in my opinion and the birria quesadilla I think could've had better flavor and texture - it kind of felt like I was eating a dry pulled pork sandwich rather than a robust, flavorful, and moist birria-soaked quesadilla that I was expecting. Would like to come here again to try the wet burrito and some other things

    Happy hour deals here are SUPERB! Definitely hit the Happy-Rita and don't sleep on the burrito. Staff were welcoming and even had books for my toddler to borrow during the meal. Great decor and vibes.

    Look at my photos! Oh my God, this place is so creative and cute - absolutely wonderful. I have been coming here for more than 20 years. It is so colorful and vibrant and the owners are so warm and friendly. The service is exceptional... You can tell the employees love their job here. I got the burrito enchilada style, and it was melt in your mouth. Incredible. They have the best margaritas and hats off to the Bartender. He is very talented. The guacamole is very unique and delicious! I highly recommend you get it. I highly recommend date night, friend night or celebrating a special occasion... This place is so memorable. You will never forget your time here.

    Oh my God! This is such a pretty Mexican market style place. They told me they changed their decor constantly. So better come and visit regularly. I believe is one of the best truly mexican restaurants around. They even had chiles en nogada by yhe end of summer. Their pozole is amazing, they bring it with Tostadas and cream! And their Tortilla Soup is a true Tortilla Soup with real thick soup! Tres Leches was big, and drinks were very tasty. I would suggest to ask how to pair drinks to get the best flavour out of them. Parking wasn't hard on a weekend.

    Overall we had a great time at El Camino! The staff was great and gave their recommendations and was super quick service! The restaurants ambiance is a lot of fun for a night out with the girls and the drinks were great too! The food was pretty good but definitely not the best Mexican food I've had. But I would definitely go back for a night out with friends.

    (3.5/5) Came in to El Camino for happy hour on a Sunday! Not too busy, we were seated fast. Wait staff were all friendly and nice! Food came out super quick. We ordered the carne asada tacos, birria plate, chips and salsa, happy hour sangria, and the happy hour margarita. Salsa and chips were ok felt like something was missing. Carne asada was also ok, pretty charred but I like that flavor. Birria plate was the best! The drinks were great and only $6. The restaurant itself was dark with fun decorations. I loved the music choices. Overall nice casual dining spot would come again.

    Love the interior and on a sunny day, it is quite nice in the back patio. Came here for drinks with friends and we all love their margaritas (esp. the spicy one: get the picante). We were kind of disappointed with the ceviche, the fish used was a bit too chewy for my taste, and it wasn't acidic enough. The onions were overpowering the taste of the seafood, so we wished they added more fish into the dish. Staff was friendly and we may come back next time to try their entrees. I don't think we'll order the ceviche again unless they update the recipe.

    I was in the area for a couple of nearby events and had time to kill a couple times, so we came to El Camino as it was around the corner. They have a couple of outdoor spaces for dining, one out front that looks like a Covid-style outdoor seating, and then they have a patio in the back that is absolutely GORGEOUS. We opted to sit out there both times. On a warm sunny fall day, it was such a vibe. Drinks are priced for Seattle, as to be expected. The cadillac margaritas are poured strong and they're delicious! We also tried their nachos which were so good. They're loaded up with lots of cheese, beans, guac, sour cream, and more. They are discounted on happy hour too, which was a solid deal. I'm not in the Fremont area often but I would definitely come back here for happy hour on the patio!

    Stopped here for a break during a hot day. Their patio is dog friendly and shaded. They even put up an extra umbrella so all the tables had shade! The food was decent and they give generous portions even for the happy hour food items. The margs were pretty strong pours and overall we felt positively about our pit stop here!

    Food was amazing. Service was spectacular and the mimosa tower delish. We got there at opening and had made reservations. The restaurant is decorated tastefully. They do have outside seating in the back. The only thing is parking. But it's Seattle. Parking always sucks.

    Hostess was rude would not come back. Most of the workers are white so I wouldn't consider this an authentic "Mexican food" .

Soft and ripe and delicious. The cheesecake bites were not as flavorful as I would have liked, along with the vanilla ice cream, but I have a crazy sweet tooth so I recommend this one for those who like milder desserts that are not too sweet. The mixed berry bingsu was my fave! The berries were fresh but the best part was the ice cream! Super flavorful and I loved the fruit syrup too. For both, the bingsu itself is very light in flavor and texture. It melts in your mouth and pairs well with the toppings, especially that sweetened condensed milk. I hope to come back to try other items soon!!

We were there at opening, and ordere the grilled cheese which comes with tomato soup, crème brûlée and I had th hot chocolate. The sandwich was good, although I would have liked a slice more cheese. The soup was really amazing. I don't often like tomato soup but this was the exception. Chunks of tomato and a full flavor without a lot of spices. The crème brûlée was warmed and freshly caramelized on top. This is not made in advance and just refrigerated which seems to be more common these days. The hot chocolate hit the spot! Options for no -dairy alternatives were offered which I almost forgot to ask. Liked the atmosphere, spacious and high ceilings. The staff was very friendly and nice. They had a rush when they opened and didn't seem unusual for them. The candied orange was a nice touch.
