Although El Camino is a favorite gathering spot for friends to test potent margaritas, it also serves wonderful Mexican cuisine. The menu isn't extensive, but selections are flavorful and well-prepared. Along with braised pork shoulder and chicken enchiladas with mole sauce, which have earned a faithful following, you'll find seafood options like halibut tacos and salmon with tamarind. Steak tacos are also incredibly popular among patrons, who come to check out the crowd and colorful setting marked by terra cotta tiles and wrought iron detailing. Don't go if you're looking for a quiet eatery and introductory chips and salsa; instead, go for the eatery's authentic food and festive vibe.
