Camino Real Mexican Restaurant

The food is delicious every time we go! I see it as the best hidden gem in north Austin!

My go to Tex-Mex restaurant since the 90's. Solid food and spirits, reasonably priced, and first-class customer service.

Definitely is not a fancy place and very unassuming but dare to be surprised by the food. It is so good and Im confident to say competes head to head with an Austin institution: Matts El Rancho. The prices are definitely more reasonable than Matts. I got a margarita for $11- its good and very well balanced. I ordered a carne asada which I think was $18. Its a thin piece of meat but its perfectly grilled where its slightly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Hubby got the grilled chicken plate, which was covered with cheesy goodness. The pico de gallo is very well-done and well-seasoned. Im so glad because many places overlook the pico. I got an enchilada a la carte to try it out - really homemade tasting with a delicious gravy on top. One was perfect because I was pretty full after the carne asada! The chips and salsa are nice to start off the meal but wow, the salsa was quite spicy that day. I cannot wait to go back to Camino Real soon- my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

While the food at this restaurant was delicious and satisfying, our dining experience was uncomfortable due to an unwelcoming energy. Despite arriving 45 minutes before closing and promptly placing our order, we were disappointed to receive raw chicken and uncooked French fries for the kids. Additionally, the waitress seemed very angry that we were there, and we were not informed that we were supposed to exit through another door. We were then yelled at to not go in the door we came from, which added unnecessary tension. Communication goes a long way, and if we were too late to be serviced, it should have been communicated.
