Great food, large portions and kind server. Great first experience for our Seattle trip.

I went there with family after an Ivy cutting Ceremony. The atmosphere was nice, good for talking to each other. The shrimp tacos were amazing! The waiter was attentive but not annoying. Thank you! read more

My friend wanted to show me a Lenin statue and a rocket, so we came down to Fremont to eat. While here, we just randomly walked into this Mexican place, and we were quite surprised with how good it was. We got chips and salsa for the table and the chips were made so well and paired perfectly with the salsa. Next, when I got my birria quesadilla with the soup, I gave the soup a try. I couldn't believe how good the soup was and that there was a kick to it as well. It was probably one of the best butternut squash soups I've ate, and I was really happy with it. At first glance, I thought the Birria quesadilla would be dry, because in LA, anything birria is drenched in a sauce. But the exterior of this quesadilla was dry. But boy was I wrong. The flavor of the birria and the sauce just stuck through the quesadilla so well, without ever dampening the exterior of the tortilla. Whoever cooked this took a lot of time figuring out how to perfect both the interior and exterior of this quesadilla. They put a lot of time and attentiveness into their food here. Their service is super attentive. And the ambiance is really nice, as they have a front patio, a back patio and a big interior. Definitely worth checking out! read more

El Camino - Birria Quesadilla, Chips & Salsa Molcajete, mini burrito - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We had a good experience having lunch here. Got seated right away and service was fast; our server were good. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor as well and conviniently located by the main street. The food we got was good. What we got: Margarita flight (4/5) Very refreshing margaritas; favorite was the mango. Plenty of alcohol in them ad well. Steak and egg tacos (4/5) Good size tacos with plenty of steak and one fried egg on each; a little bit difficult to eat do to its size but flavor wise it was good. Carnitas tacos (3/5) This was decent; the pork was ok; not bad but not great either. The spanish rice was great tho. Camarones a la diabla (3.5/5) Its not bad at all. Plenty of shrimps and the spanish rice was good. It was very mild and not spicy at all; but the flavor was there. Carne Asada Nachos (4/5) Big portion; plenty of carne asada in it; and flavorful. Overall this is not to bad place to get some mexican foods. Good portions and price point felt balance based on what we got and what we paid for. read more

Parking here on the weekend was a bit difficult so we had to walk a bit to get there but the restaurant was very lively and fun. The burrito was flavorful and enjoyed it but the tortilla to filling ratio was a bit off for me with every bite feeling like 2x tortilla. I thought the plantain chips made the guacamole more interesting but glad we got the ceviche because classic chips and guac still the best in my opinion. read more

First time going to @elcamino_seattle and the ambience is super cozy. Cute decor throughout the restaurant and they even had a veranda with a fire place. Service was fast and server was friendly. Food was good. My favorite out of what we had was the Chilaquiles, French toast & Spritz. They were all gooMust try. We had the following: ~Chorizo Breakfast Burrito ~Chilaquiles ~Mexican French Toast ~Avocado Toast ~Playa Maya Spritz ~Home Made Pina Colada read more

El Camino has been in the Fremont neighborhood for years and I recently revisited twice in a week during a week day for happy hour and on a weekend night for dinner. Then, a third time in the same month to celebrate a birthday-- which I recommend for extroverts because they give the celebrant a large mariachi hat to wear and put a very festive type of flowing sparkler firework on a slice of cake while you all sing happy birthday exuberantly to them. Back to the food and ambiance-- All still really good and fun. I'll never tire of all the cool skulls and Mexican folk decor. My favorite food and must order each time here are the Birria Nachos with Guacamole and Sour Cream. I believe it is 1/2 price during Happy Hour but you still get the same generous portion. Roomy restaurant with a variety of seating choices. Friendly and vibrant atmosphere. I still love it after all these years. read more

Good selection of drinks Mexican like food. Parking is street paid parking and is limited to 2 hours

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Went here based on recommendation from one of our favorite bartenders. So far we have been here over a handful of times and it has been pretty consistent. Our favorites include Top Shelf Margaritas, Birria Tacos and Birria Nachos. Outdoor is dog friendly and staff are super nice. read more

Don't order delivery from here, they forget items. Missed 4oz guacamole in my order, kids disappointed!

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. read more

(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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Love the vibes here. Cozy, classy and welcoming. The servers we've encountered so far are very kind and accommodating. My favorites here are the beet salad (trust me) and birria plate. The blood orange margarita is also great. Lil spendy, but to be fair you get a crap ton of food. Worth it in my opinion :o) read more

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. read more

Wow! The servings here are HUGE! My best friend and I decided to come by since it was one of the few restaurants open late and within walking distance for us. We were definitely happy with our choice. We loved the decorations inside (I heard they change them up often) and the servers were very attentive. We got ceviche, flautas papas, and the birria plate. Ceviche had a slight kick to it, and I was so happy. The flautas papas were crispy and delicious, and the birria plate was perfectly spiced too. Definitely will come back, their drinks look fun and we didn't get an opportunity to try! read more

Came for brunch with my family on the morning of the Super Bowl and had an outstanding breakfast. Every person at our table had a 100% clean plate. We've not been for dinner yet, but their brunch is stellar! I told my wife that it was the best breakfast burrito I think I'd ever had. My daughter and mother-in-law had the French Toast and everyone was stealing bites. My wife even dipped her extra bread in the sauce it comes with because it was so good. The outdoor patio and fireplace is super cute too. Overall, I'd highly recommend for brunch. read more

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

We went for happy hour! The food was great and Rachel was a wonderful server! The vibes were super laid back and relaxed. We went on Sunday evening around 4:30pm. They don't have a ton of dairy free options on the menu but Rachel helped us make sure I was safe with my allergies! My family really enjoyed everything they ate! And the happy hour margaritas were fantastic!! read more

Went walking around Ballard and thought this place looked super cozy, so we stopped in on a misty Friday night. What an amazing choice. Our server was really friendly. We got a birria burrito and birria tacos. Wow. So juicy. The burrito is a honker and came wet in this deliciously spicy salsa. The tacos were still great. But with the burrito you get like double the food for only one dollar more. Only two tacos!? Decent deal for the burrito and taco. We also got house margs which were classic. The best part about this place is the dark ambience. We even got tucked away in a corner booth so it was very cozy and dark for us. Here for the burrito get the burrito. read more

Taste: 4.0/5 I ordered the Grande Nachos with chicken, which came layered with cheese, beans, and pico de gallo, then topped with guacamole and sour cream. The cheese stood out as one of the best I've had on nachos--rich, flavorful, and well-melted. The Carnitas Street Tacos were also fantastic. While nothing was particularly groundbreaking, El Camino definitely lived up to its reputation. Overall, a very solid dining experience. Price: 4.0/5 I visited during happy hour (3-6 pm daily) and found the pricing very reasonable for that menu. Outside of happy hour, the prices lean toward the higher side but aren't unreasonable. The chicken add-on for the nachos was worth the cost, and the portion sizes were satisfying. Service: 4.5/5 We were seated right away, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Service was smooth and efficient with no issues to note. Vibes/Atmosphere: 3.5/5 I went on a Sunday just before 6 pm, and the place was relatively empty. While it wasn't particularly lively or atmospheric, it was still comfortable. Not much of a "vibe," but nothing negative either. read more

Ended up returning here for dinner instead of the usual brunch, and wasn't as impressed as I previously had been. We got a burrito with shrimp and something about the shrimp was just off - they tasted a bit funky, so we skipped the rest of that. The chicken enchiladas en mole were decent, but the chicken itself didn't have much flavor. Overall, a pretty boring meal. read more

Nice spot for Mexican food! Not the most authentic, but it's pretty tasty. We started with chips and guac, which is always great! And for my entree I got enchiladas with pipian verde mole. This was good, and was a pretty big portion! I also tasted enchiladas with mole coloradito and liked this one better. This mole had more depth of flavor that I really liked. Overall experience was good - not the best Mexican I've had, but hits the spot when you have a craving! read more

Loved the first visit so much, I made reservations for Mother's Day brunch. Please note, minors cannot sit in the back patio area. Our table was ready when we arrived. It was a busy afternoon with lots of coming and going, line for the restrooms; yet the visit was smooth. The waiter was attentive and patient as we waited for the rest of our party. Food arrived quickly, and the water spill caused by our kiddo was cleaned promptly without guilt. I appreciated the kindness, smiles, and delicious food. The bussers, waiters, hostess, all moved in a graceful dance around each other through the tight space between tables and busy coming and goings of patrons. The mimosa tower was pretty to look at, but the flavors weren't for me. Maybe it's champagne that overpowered the flavors to me. I really enjoyed the mango best, and would order it again. The salsa was flavorful and reminded us of Mexico. The fam enjoyed the horchata too. Tasted authentic to us. Looking forward to trying additional things on their menu. read more

This place is great to come with a bigger group; they have lots of tables and indoor and outdoor areas available. I tried the veggie burrito and it was decent; the best part was that it was very filling. They had a pina colada slushie that was really good! The service was very fast as well. They also have a good late night and happy hour deal, so go then if you can! read more

I'm not sure why this place isn't rated better? Husband and I went today during the Fremont fair and we enjoyed every part of our visit. We were seated quickly out on the front patio. We didn't go inside so I can't really speak on the ambiance of the restaurant but the patio was shaded and comfortable. For it being as busy as it was, the service was amazing. They were prepared and really on top of the fair crowd today, and of course kind and patient with us deciding. We ordered drinks, I got the mango margarita which was strong and yummy. My husband got a La Niebla (he loves rum), which he also enjoyed. For food we did the guacamole and salsa combo, delicious. Great appetizer, and next time I want to try the hot and cheesy bean dip. My husband ordered the birria tacos and a side of two shrimp tacos. I had the chicken mole negro. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals! They were filling, and full of flavor. We moved here from California so we are really picky about our Mexican food, and this place hit the spot. I really want to go back for brunch soon! Thanks for a great experience on a bust day El Camino! read more

the highlight at el camino is the service, which was lightning fast. within minutes of us being seated we had water, 2-3 minutes later we had our cocktails, and less than 10 minute wait for our lunch which was carne asada tacos. unfortunately due to sitting outside we did have bugs on our table a few times throughout the meal (not the restaurant's fault, but just an FYI if you sit outside.) i wish the taco portions were a little more generous for the price. it came with two, we felt it should have come with 3. we paid $71 for four tacos and two cocktails. read more

We had a party of nine and since it was a beautiful day we sat outside. The cute, young waitress was friendly, very attentive, and had a great sense of humor. She was patient and joked back with the characters in our group. The food was delicious. For appetizers we ordered Tostones & Guacamole, and Hot & Cheesy Bean Dip. The bean dip could have used more seasoning and had a lot more cheese, maybe on top. I had the shrimp tacos. I thought they had really good flavoring. Some of the others in my group ordered Chicken Mole Negro, Carnitas Tacos, and Birria. There were no complaints about the tastes nor the portions. For dessert we ordered two Pastel De Tres Leches. This was a big slice of rum cake topped with caramel, coconut shavings and whipped cream. Not like my uncle's, but very good. I would say, for the prices, portions, and hospitality, this is a good choice for a casual place to have dinner. read more
