" El Camion offers some really interesting drinks! I had the mango margarita and it was refreshing. The queso was good but could have used a bit more seasoning. The tacos I ordered were tasty and filling enough, but the service was a bit slow, which detracted from the overall experience. I would say this place is still worth checking out for its drink options. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at El Camion was delightful! The steaks were juicy and well cooked, and the spices they used were on point. I also enjoyed the sides—some of the best yucca fries I’ve had! The service was great, quick and friendly which made the experience even better. I appreciate that their dishes feel authentic rather than a fusion take. I will definitely revisit this restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Camion Cantina is the place to be if you're looking for authentic Mexican food without the fuss. I tried the chilaquiles, and they were simply divine! The flavors were so rich, and the corn tortillas were soft yet crispy. I was there on a busy Saturday, so the wait was longer than expected, but it was worth it. The staff managed to stay friendly despite the rush, which I appreciated. Overall, a great spot that I will definitely return to! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Camion is such a fun spot! We went for brunch last weekend, and it was packed! The huevos rancheros were delicious, came with a complimentary drink, and I loved their unique take on the dish. The atmosphere was lively, and the outdoor seating was perfect for the weather. It took a bit longer than expected to be seated, but once we got in, service was fast. The prices are quite good too! A perfect brunch place to hang out with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience here. The food was okay but lacked the authenticity I was hoping for. The carne asada I ordered was overcooked and dry. The service was adequate but slow. I understand it was busy, but I've eaten at many Mexican restaurants with better service. The ambiance was decent, but it could use a little more character. I may give it another shot, but I'm not rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Very happy with my experience at El Camion! Delicious tacos and the service was pretty good, friendly vibes all around. I recommend the carne asada taco, it was easily the highlight of the meal! The place was busy but didn’t feel overcrowded, making it comfortable. Definitely one of my go-to spots when craving authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed my experience at El Camion. The staff were welcoming and warm, and the food was really tasty. The margaritas were a bit too sugary for my liking, but I enjoyed the fish tacos. I was surprised at how generous the portions were — I couldn’t finish my plate! I'll likely bring my friends here next time! " (*Curated Review*)
