" Good food, but the music was way too loud and didn't fit the vibe of the restaurant. The portions were pretty good for the price, and the staff was nice, but I found myself straining to hear my friend across the table. Would love to return for the food but hope they change the playlist next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to El Camion last weekend, and while the food was decent and the atmosphere comfy, the service could have been better. I had to flag down our waiter for a check, which was frustrating. However, I can't deny that the cake I had for dessert was fantastic! It seems like a solid Mexican spot, and I might return hoping for a better experience next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic! I had a great time at El Camion. I ordered an assortment of tacos and each one was delicious. I'll definitely be dreaming about those shrimp tacos! The atmosphere was vibrant, and the service was friendly, which made the experience even better. Overall, this is a must-visit if you love authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Camion Cantina has a great vibe! It’s a little noisy, but honestly, that adds to the fun. I had the carne asada tacos and they were delicious, cooked to perfection. The drink menu is phenomenal, and my friends and I had a blast sampling a few different cocktails. Be prepared for a wait during peak hours, as this place is popular, but the food is definitely worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" During my visit to El Camion, I found the food to be good, although not as flavorful as I'd hoped. I tried the burrito but it was a bit bland for my taste. The service was decent, and the ambiance was pretty chill. On the plus side, the prices are very reasonable for brunch. I might return again to try some different dishes. " (*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*)
