Reviews For Camino Real Mexican Restaurant

Great place to come and enjoy some Mexican food. Very friendly staff, if undecided they are very helpful in making some grate choices. The adult beverage menu is a wide variety of drinks. As a local I recommend coming here when you wanna just sit back and chill. They have sometime a live band out side so you can enjoy the sounds of beach music while you have dinner. They have plenary of sports on the bounteous tvs.

Our server Alberto made the experience five stars alone. He was very attentive and personable. He was also very accommodating to allergies and gave great recommendations. Will definitely be returning and asking for him! Food and atmosphere were great too:)

We go to Camino Real at least once a week . We love the food and the people! Hugo is the best - so kind, funny, and helpful - we look forward to seeing him every week and getting our Mexican food fix.

Great food, great drinks, & all for great prices!! These are the mango margaritas and for dinner I had the 2 enchilada combo, I think about it often because it was that good! My husband order the steak fajitas and keeps asking to go back so needless to say.. We are already planning our next trip!
