We visited El Campesino around 6pm on a Saturday. It was surprisingly not busy at all. We were seated and waited on immediately. I ordered the fajita del mar because I was craving seafood. It had shrimp and scallops and was really tasty. It came with rice and beans which were just okay. My husband ordered combo #17. He said it was just okay. Overall are visit was good. Not sure when we will be back. Parking close by is a pain on the weekend but we were lucky and found a spot not too far away. If you visit, I recommend the shrimp! read more

My wife and I stopped into El Campesino for lunch on Valentines Day. We arrived just after they opened at 11:00, and were the only customers both then, and when we left 45 minutes later. The place is not dirty but is in desperate need of a refresh. We also thought the free version of someone's music streaming app playing Latin music (complete with commercials) was totally on brand. Our waitress was very nice and very quick, and we had chips, salsa and drinks right away. The salsa was okay, but not very exciting. For lunch I ordered the enchiladas verdes. The menu was not clear regarding if it came with rice, beans, or both, so I asked for sides...it came with rice, so I ended up with a big plate of refired beans on the side. My wife ordered the Burrito Campesino 12". My food came out five minutes before hers, even though we were the only two people eating in the whole place. When her burrito finally arrived it certainly was all of 12", and as large as a cow's stomach. It was also oozing orange oil from the bottom and by the end of the meal there must have been 3-4 tablespoons of it on her plate. She actually tilted her plate with a folded-up napkin so the burrito could drain. Obviously, it was super greasy, and she was not impressed. My enchiladas were bland, though the tomatillo sauce was decent. The rice was similarly boring, and the beans were super runny. ~$48 before tip. I don't think we'll be back. read more

Perfect spot for a dinner outside on a warm night! Friendly staff. Quick service, and yummy drinks and food. Being seated and immediately served with chips and salsa is my kind of place! read more

El Campesino - Mexican Near Me - Homestead, Pennsylvania

El Campesino's has been a go to family staple of ours for many years and we have often gone either as a a meal out with my husband, or a family meal. I was actually shocked when we stopped by this past weekend. For a fast casual restaurant, the prices have become astronomical! I was sickened by the price increase. That was the first thing I noticed, but then came the food. The chips were different and NOT GOOD. The Food was less quality and less portion sizes with the price increase. The Burrito was smaller, less rice. I also got the chimichangas and they were terrible. And $11 for a bowl of queso (That's insane). It's a shame, but you lost a customer. It shouldn't cost nearly $100 to go out to lunch for 2 people. We won't be back. Really disappointed. read more

The worst. Whenever I go to a new Mexican restaurant, I like to order a chili relleno. This restaurant's chili relleno was two green bell peppers, with ground beef, drizzled with cheese. Not the kind of chili relleno that I've ever had before but I wanted to give it a try. It did not taste good.... Bland beef and waxy cheese. When I asked about how this was not the chili relleno that I was expecting, a server that was not ours, said that this was a traditional recipe from the owner's family and that she herself was Mexican so she knew what it should be. This recipe may be a family tradition but it was executed poorly. It just wasn't a chili relleno.... And the mole was too salty to eat read more

This El Camposino location was unfamiliar to me, however I've been to the McKnight Rd restaurant many times. The service was very good, as we were seated and served promptly.

I usually would go to the El Campesino in Monroeville, but the one in Homestead is far more better. The size and feel of the place is a lot more laid back and fun. I just came here on Friday to meet a friend for dinner. For one, the service is EXCEPTIONAL. The prices are fairly decent. The complimentary chips and salsa are well-appreciated. The food is delicious and well-prepared. Def a must for authentic Mexican food !!!!! read more

El Campesino - Mexican Near Me - Homestead, Pennsylvania

It's in a great location! The Waterfront is a beautiful and remarkable entertainment/dining/shopping experience. This is near the movie theater within the complex. Everyone was hustling, the place was bustling ... we had confidence in our choice to come here. The inside has piñatas suspended from the ceiling and very basic, rustic decor. I'm from the West Coast and probably eat Mexican four times a week. For Pittsburgh, by far it was the closest to salsa vs ketchup that I could find in town. The cheese dip also was a success. Major love goes to their chicken fajita quesadillas. They didn't skimp and it had quality veggies which is always appreciated. Gustavo C was a rockstar as a server; always knew when to stop by, everything was accurate and he always had a smile. Also super affordable. Quesadilla was less than seven dollars and cheese dip only five. Mind blown! I will definitely return here when in town! read more

This place was a life saver as I was so hungry, and in an unfamiliar city. Located in Homestead, just outside of Pittsburgh in this neat shopping area called The Waterfront. Parking was easy and outside there was this cool art. Walking in I waited a bit to be seated and the restaurant appeared to be understaffed but it was OK. I was going for TACOS! I started with some Nachos with salsa and then moved on to the Tacos Al Pastor for the meal. The three pork tacos were served in corn tortillas with chopped cilantro, onions and delicious pineapple. It also came with with rice and beans. Everything was really good. Server was nice but the critiques would be that service was slow across the board and no salt or extra napkins for messy eaters. All in all, a good visit and I would recommend the restaurant and especially the location. Make sure to check out more of the outdoor Waterfront shopping area. read more

Looking for Mexican food that's very salty and reminds me of fast food well you've come to the right place as that's exactly what I experienced here! So let's start by saying our service was terrible I'm not sure if our server was overwhelmed with tables or if he was having a bad day but wow his energy, attitude, and whole demeanor was very very negative like almost toxic levels of bad energy throughout our experience with him I get it your understaffed like everyone else is but you don't show that to the guests I work in the service industry and even when things are bad you keep your composure especially when serving as I'm sure that's where the bulk of your pay comes from. So when it came time to order I went with one of the combo plates as it sounded good but I was totally wrong as what I ended up with was a burrito, enchilada, and a stuffed bell pepper all with the same overly salty ground beef like this meat was comparable to what you'd find at a fast food chain it was that bad. My burrito was just stuffed with it needless to say I didn't finish it my enchilada that was supposed to be cheese was also stuffed with it with no cheese to be found whatsoever and that stuffed bell pepper I didn't even eat because I hate bell peppers they are the worst out of the pepper family. So when our server came back I asked him is this what you guys call a Chili Relleno he said oh we have a poblano one too I said can I have that one instead and he said sure and went to get it for me and a few minutes later he came back like it couldn't have been more than two minutes tell he came back which I thought was kinda strange as it would take at least a few minutes to make it especially with how long we waited for our food before which had to have been at least 20min or so. Once he came back with the Chili Relleno I cut into it only to find that it was Luke warm like it had been sitting for a while which totally sucked because this was the only thing that I was presented with that was actually some what good had it been warm the way it should be I doubt I'd be as disappointed. So after all that disappointing food my friend and I both felt the same way our food was salty and terrible our service was horribly toxic and the best part of our meal was the chips and salsa and even that was mediocre at best! Overall salty terrible cold food horrible service with an attitude and a stuffed bell pepper that's being played off as a Chili Relleno making for one not so great experience all around so do yourself a favor and don't come here unless your looking for food like that. read more

Yea this place is 2 stars at best. Service is bad. Me and my friends were one of two other tables in the restaurant and took awhile for someone to pay attention to us. I also asked for Guac to be put in my burrito and this was like a new found revelation to the waiter. I had to say what I wanted 3 times just for it to come on the side as sliced avocados. The food is pretty average in my opinion nothing that tastes out of this world. I have had so much better Mexican at so many places and places that actually remember their customers exists. I wouldn't really go back here. If you have no other choices for food then I say it's good for a one time go but chipotle is down the road just go there 100%! read more

Quick and convenient Mexican dinner place at the waterfront! After grocery and otherwise shopping came in because we were starving. We were seated promptly during a busy Friday evening, and quickly brought chips and salsa. Our waitress came around quickly and was helpful and often refilled drinks. It felt like only 10 minutes or so before our food arrived and it was good! Lots of good cheese and the beef was well-seasoned and tasty. Overall fast and friendly service, good food and reasonable prices! Would recommend read more

Me and two girlfriends went to dinner on a Thursday evening. Service was good, drinks were delicious and food was great. We ordered peach and guava margaritas and they were just right. All of our meals came quickly and hot. We sat outside on the patio and had a great evening. No complaints. Workers were friendly and the bathroom was clean. read more

Ambiance Inside was nicely decorated and tables were very spaced out. We got a big comfy booth. I liked it. The A/C was amazing. I hate eating when it feels hot or stuffy. They even had the doors open to access the patio and it was still nice and cold inside. There were probably about 5-6 other tables eating when we walked in and I liked that they spaced us out instead of squishing us all in one area. Food: Chips and salsa were a nice touch. The salsa was on the mild side, a lot of flavor but not spicy for me but my kid wouldn't eat it. So we ordered him a side of cheese dip. Came out piping hot. Very yummy. He loved it. A little pricey, $5.25 for a half but he liked it so much it makes it worth it. We ordered a kid's Quesadilla and rice. Portion wise it was huge for a kids meal. I got the beef burrito with rice and beans lunch special. A little salty for me but once I mixed with the rice and beans it was good. My friend for a lunch fajitas with beef/chicken/shrimp. Portion wise it looked small but she finished it and felt full, so no complaints. Service: This is where it all goes down hill. The man that seated us was very happy/friendly. There was also young guy that brought out or chips and salsa, he was nice. BUT our waitress (Alyssa L as stated on the receipt) was friendly taking our order. But she never once filled our water and food was pretty salty. We finished our meal and she was no where in site. I forgot I had pre-ordered the churro for dessert, so when she brought it out I asked her for the check and boxes Togo. She proceeded to take away the empty plates and stacked them, and I was a little taken back when she put all the empty dishes on half of my burrito that I hadn't finished and was planning to take away. I let it go and didn't make a fuss because because it was a little salty and chalked it up to a simple mistake. When she came back around with the check, she just took my card off the table and didn't wait for me to look over the receipt or anything. (I was busy packing my kids leftovers). She then left the receipt to sign. I looked over the bill and noticed there was a 20% gratuity pre-charged. She was no where in site, so I asked another man if this was normal. We only had 2 adults and a kid in our table. As we waited for him to fix it, my friend saw them talking back and forth in the corner. He came back with a new total and apologized for her, but she never once came back to us. I would like to think she just made another mistake, but my friend thinks it was deliberate based off how they were talking in the corner. I ended up giving her a $5 tip anyways even though we left feeling unhappy. Overall, I likely won't come back to this location. Luckily if I'm in the mood for El Campesino, there are other locations that I can go to where we've had a great experience. We've never had this problem before so it's such a shame one bad experience ruins it for this location. read more

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food at the waterfront definitely stop here! When the weather is nice, we like to sit outside on the patio. They have daily specials and also happy hour specials, their website lists out what the deals are. We like that on Tuesdays they have 3 tacos for $4.99. The queso is so melty and cheesy, a perfect appetizer to share. The combination platters are a great way to sample the menu, they come with a variety of options to choose from. The carne asada tacos are delicious, love that they are loaded up with cilantro and onion. The shrimp tacos are also good but I was expecting to get whole shrimp, these were chopped up. read more

This was my third and, finally, successful option in Homestead wanting to dine outdoors. The first stop was TGIF and they weren't seating outdoors due to staff shortage. Second stop was UNO's and I am supposing because of staff shortage no one was greeting me at the front lobby though I saw staff in sight of me (waited for quite some period). So, landed on this Mexican venue accidentally not even knowing it was at the Waterfront near the movie theater. They have a colorful, inviting exterior and plenty outdoor seating. I was greeted immediately, only had a five minute wait to be seated, was immediately greeted at my table with water and my order. Another person delivered chips and salsa. My order was delivered promptly of a margarita and fish tacos. While the food is good, it is not 5 star worthy and salsa is pretty so-so. However, they seem to be adequately staffed even in this pandemic era and each and every one of its staff was cordial, smiling, efficient, and well organized. With my margarita, outdoor vibe and Spanish music piped in, I felt a tropical air about my experience even though the patio faces a parking lot. Well done and a nice tip was well deserved. read more

This is our go-to neighborhood spot for chips, tacos, and tamales. The service is consistently friendly and quick, portions are hearty, and the food is delicious.

I love that they are dog-friendly, and really appreciate how well they've adhered to Covid precautions throughout the entire past year. read more

Yuck! I ordered six chicken tacos for takeout. This was my first time ordering tacos from there and based off of the reviews I expected authentic Mexican food. The chicken was definitely canned and not seasoned at all. I had to drench the tacos in salsa to even eat one. I was only able to stomach one and started feeling sick eating the second one. Sucks because the staff was very friendly, just need better cooks. read more

Food was typical bar food quality, not particularly good, but not particularly bad. Definitely not worth it to make a special trip here for the food. But the service....that's how this joint "earned" a One Star. Slow, disengaged and borderline rude. I had no idea my server was doing us such a favor by waiting on our table. It's pretty bad when your server says "Thank you" at the end of this epic culinary adventure and doesn't even look at you. read more

El Campesino - Steak Ranchero, Quesadilla Supreme, large raspberry margarita - Mexican Near Me - Homestead, Pennsylvania

Located in a great spot in Waterfront, so you can stop by after shopping or before catching a movie. The menu is packed with all your favorite Mexican food options, something for everyone's taste. They also have combo deals so you can try a few different things for a lower price. I ordered the number 12 combo, which is a chicken burrito and chicken enchilada. On top of the burrito is lettuce, tomato and sour cream. Both items were good, a little bland with seasoning and they tasted the same. The only difference was the enchilada had red sauce on top, which eventually was soaked up by the burrito too. We also ordered a side of queso and chips. The queso was creamy and flavorful. It had pieces of peppers mixed in that added a spicy kick. Since it was happy hour, we ordered the house margarita. It was huge and delicious! Very refreshing and the lime flavor wasn't too overpowering. I was a bit disappointed when the price wasn't the $5 as advertised during Happy Hour though. Overall a good spot for Mexican favorites if you're in the area. read more

I have been here 4 times in the past 4 weeks including today1-4-22 for Lunch. All 4 times so far it has been excellent service, you sit down, take your coat off and their are the chips n salsa. On Tuesday, they have taco specials and considering inflation, cost of goods, for under $6 you get 3 good tacos. pretty good value for the money. I would say food quality is a 4 1/4 star but clean, quick, nice staff and value for money are 5 star. My only small little complaint is their is a little more water juice in the tacos. read more
