What Cole Johnston doesn't like about El Camino Dining Room:
We were a party of 3 for lunch and I kept having to play waitress for our table since our waiter wasn't getting what we needed. Asked for a straw and some Splenda and he didn't get it so I got up and went and got it myself. Then he brought 2 of our meals but didn't go back to get the third. We had no silverware so I went across the room to where someone had been rolling the silverware and got us 3 settings out of the... View all feedback. What Joe Schweighofer likes about El Camino Dining Room:
Food was great and atmosphere was pretty solid as well. They were kind enough to give me a sample of pork adovada to try before I order ended up getting that with two eggs. Home fries were excellent sliced round and plenty of them. Can’t wait to come back View all feedback.

The lady met me when I went very sweet, talked to me as if she knew her whole life. Food was amazing service from this world. And everything was soooo Clean

El Camino is a family-run restaurant that offers New Mexican dining, but it seems that the service and food can be hit or miss. Some customers have experienced long wait times, burnt food, and disappointing flavors, while others have enjoyed the fast and friendly service and delicious dishes. The atmosphere is generally praised, with many customers looking forward to returning. It seems that El Camino has a strong following, but they may need to address issues with consistency and customer service to keep their loyal customers satisfied.

Super fun atmosphere with real family business. Eating was incredible. Who does this bike belong to? Can I buy it?

Featured in Better Call Saul, season 6. Established 1950 on historic Rt 66. Hopefully this local landmark will be around as a local eatery for another 70 years.
