Love this place!!! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, its all insanely good. Don't cheat yourself and make sure you get their wings, they're immaculate!! They most definitely have one of the better happy hours in the city which features: $3 tacos quesadillas and bottles of select beer, $4 select Draft Beers, $5 Spirits and ~margaritas~, and to top it off 1/2 price wine. The atmosphere is always great and the decor on the inside is on point for sure! Definitely try it out if you haven't!!

Very nice set up restaurant, went with my wife and we felt the fajitas platter(no matter which meat option) should be more of a traditional fajita order with meat and peppers sizzling to your table and not on a bed of rice which takes away from the "Fajitas Flare". Aside from that the drinks were very good(strong)!! And staff was nice as well. A lot of seating space which is great if you're going as date or in big groups.

Fantastic place. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Tons of drink choices. Great selection of beer. Food wise there are so many great choices....you can't go wrong.Like most things in the city finding parking is the only seed bump.

My first time was great, even though they forgot to put the chicken in my nachos, they corrected it and I must say the chicken was delicious! My second time going I ordered a chicken nacho to go and when I got home it happened again...no chicken in my nachos..I was very upset about that! Not sure if I'll be going back anytime soon ...The service was great,the drinks were amazing but I'll give them a break before going again!

Amazing service from my bartender Avery! On a slammed Saturday night she was able to take my order olus 4 others without writing anything down. The drink was made to perfection. The food that came out was piping hot and came within 10 minutes of ordering. Great atmosphere, great staff, and amazing food.

I used to really like this place but the management and wait staff needs improvement. I witnessed a waitress rudely ask a customer if they knew how many ounces were in their pitcher, the manager raised her voice at table that had questions about the pricing of their bill bc communication was unclear.I ordered the Baja fish tacos and didn’t like them, I took one bite. I notified my waitress and gestured for her to take my plate and she abruptly told me she would get her manager. Once the manager came I repeated that I didn’t like my food and she refused to take it off my bill because nothing was “wrong” with the food, even though I was going to order something else.I am completely dissatisfied with this establishment and hope the wait staff can improve their people skills.

The food was excellent! Just know 20% gratuity is already included.

This wasn't my third time at El Camino however this was my best time at El Camino. The last few times at this establishment I always order the shrimp tacos because they are really delicious. Whenever I order the shrimp tacos I get the Spanish rice and black beans along with itI didn't know that they sold seafood on the menu until I actually had time to redo the entire menu. El Camino as a well-known Mexican restaurant in the north liberty section of Philadelphia. The servers are always hip and well spoken and really cool. The menu is very large but yet easy to read. The bathrooms are always clean and smell good. While here I order the prince Edward Island muscles with sausage. The muscles came in a very savory Tuscan like broth with tomatoes, onions, parsley, and cilantro. They were really tasteful and huge! The broth was absolutely delicious. I was completely stunned at how good they actually were. I highly recommend these mussels, maybe even two orders lol. If you ever find yourself in Northern liberties wanting some great Mexican food please check on El Camino and tell them Shimmy sent you!!!

El Camino Real catered our wedding over the summer of 2021. Manager, Josh, was thoughtful and responsive throughout our wedding planning during a pandemic. Once we secured an outdoor location, El Camino made our park restrictions work. The food and drink were delicious. The staff was generous and so so kind. Thanks for making our wedding possible!

Their drinks are deliciously flavored. They have a great menu. I ordered the Nashville chicken which can be on the high spicy level for some.. it was a flavorful level for me. Parking is pretty hard in this area, but consider parking at the ACME. We chose to sit inside, but the outdoor seating is pretty well insultaed with warmth if that is a choice for you.
