    Surprised to find this lovely Mexican restaurant inside the Days Inn motel. I’m so glad I found them. The food is colorful, fresh, and delicious. The service is very good. The ambience is festive and comfortable. They need a larger sign out front so people know they are there.

    It's delicious! Staff is nice. Cheapest Mexican food in town. Salsa is amazing, not just run of the mill.

    I have been to el Camino a few times and it was quite enjoyable. I like their salsa (which everyone gets their own little bowl) and the chips were good, so a very good combination. They had a good variety of lunch meals. We all were satisfied with our selection and had more than we could finish. Can take some time to get in and out.

    They always take care of us. Huge shout of the Wilber. He’s the man. A little confusion on our bill tonight and no questions asked, he took amazing care of us. This place is second to none. I’m hoping they don’t outgrow the motel and move somewhere else!!! Love having them here

    Soooooooooooooo, so, so good! Having your own salsa is such a commodity!!! And where they do that at??? Here! My 7 year old gave them a 5 star review(5 out of 5)!!! He had the grilled chicken enchiladas, queso, and fried ice cream! He loved everything he ordered! I had chunky guacamole and a carnitas taco! Best salsa in town!!!! 2 for one margaritas! Can’t go wrong! And the most important aspect of dining out for me, is always the service. All the workers were extremely KIND. Not too loud of an atmosphere, super chill.
