" El Caminito has had its ups and downs, but overall, it's a decent spot for Mexican food. I ordered the carne asada tacos, and while they were flavorful, they could have used a little more spice. The ambiance felt very basic, and it was a strange feeling dining next to a gas station. I found the prices to be slightly high for what we received, but the service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. I might return to give it another chance, as I've heard great things about their burritos. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to El Caminito was underwhelming. The food lacked the authentic Mexican flavor I was hoping for. The super burrito was massive, but the overall taste was quite bland. The service was polite but seemed a bit distracted, as we had to ask for our drinks twice. I appreciate the ambiance being casual, but I was left not wanting to return. I prefer eateries with a bit more character and flavor. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my dine-in experience at El Caminito! I ordered the pescado a la plancha, and it was cooked to perfection – flaky and flavorful! The complimentary salsa options were wonderful and I tried them all. The restaurant has a cozy vibe despite its odd location next to the gas station. The staff was friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. If you're in the area, I highly recommend it, especially for fresh fish dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stopped by El Caminito for lunch today, and I was pleased with my experience. I had their veggie tacos which were fresh and flavorful. While the staff was friendly, the service could have been faster. The volume of food was generous for the price, and I loved that they have a salsa bar. The atmosphere is casual, and I can see this becoming a regular lunch spot for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Caminito's food speaks for itself! I ordered their carne asada fries, and they were massive and incredibly tasty. The staff was exceptionally friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. While the restaurant feels small and can get packed, it's worth the wait. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend El Caminito to anyone wanting a fulfilling, mouthwatering meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Caminito is an absolute gem! The enchiladas verdes are a must-try. I also love their homemade salsas, especially the spicy chipotle! The restaurant's charm really comes from the friendly staff who treat you like family. It's a bit small and attached to a gas station, but that just adds to its charm. Prices are reasonable for the portion sizes, and I've never left hungry! This place has quickly become my go-to for Mexican cravings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to check out El Caminito after hearing rave reviews. I ordered the carne asada burrito, and while it was flavorful, I expected it to be spicier. The atmosphere was casual, and I appreciated the quick service despite the busy crowd. However, the prices felt a bit high for the overall quality of the food. I might give it another try to taste something different off the menu, as I've heard the tacos are worth it. " (*Curated Review*)
