El Camino Real

Wonderful owners! Very nice. Burrito El mono is my favorite. It’s so good everyone I come here. Great prices and friendly service!

I drove from Peoria to eat here and this place is AMAZING. The margarita was awesome, the ground beef was AMAZING, the cheese queso was excellent!!! Me and my hunny loved this place it was worth our drive, and I am a mexican woman, so believe me we will drive here a lot moving forward. YUMMY. PLEASE ORDER THE GROUND BEEF QUESADILLA APPETIZER WITH THE QUESO WHITE CHEESE, honestly, thats what sold me!!! YUM!!! A++++

Had a bad experience involving a cockroach. Bummed because this was one of my favorite places to eat. I’d stay away until the fumigate the building or move :(

The family was on the road & hungry so, always up to test a new Mexican restaurant’s claims of authenticity, dined at Camino Real.
We were promptly seated in a spacious dining area decorated in Mexican motifs. The hostess took drink orders & brought home made chips and salsa. Orders were promptly taken. Wife had chix & steak fajitas, I had burrito croqueta, & daughter had cheese quesadillas. All lunch specials were under $ 8 & came with delicious rice & beans.
The meal gave us leftovers, was delicious, & fairly priced. Service & ambience was quick & pleasant. We would return again.

My husband and I came about this little gem tucked away in the town square in Canton. Just a block from our hotel we stopped in for a late dinner just before closing. The staff all greeted us with a smile and were absolutely wonderful! My hubby had grilled shrimp and I had the steak fajita quesadilla. The food was delicious! We each had the 20 ounce margarita as we celebrated our 15^th wedding anniversary. Our waitress came by to check on us often and even brought us a dessert on the house for our anniversary treat. I cannot say enough about the fantastic family of El Camino Real… they make customers feel right at home. Highly recommended!

I grew up on Mexican Food (SoCal) and have to say tjis place rocks! Best Mexican fare in Central Illinois by far. Clean, reasonable prices, great service and wonderful food… Need I say more?

Best Mexican food around. And with portion sizes like this, it’s your own fault if you walk away hungry

Not recommended for vegetarians.

Took the family out for a bite with some friends. Four adults and three kids. We were seated pretty much right away, chips and drinks in under five min, the way it should be. Servers were pleasant and casual /​professional.
Had the pork carnitas, I think, cooked in orange juice and something else. HUGE serving of lean, tender pork that was roasted and then grilled for a crispy exterior. I don’t know how they got such lean pork to be so moist. Excellent.
The only complaint I have is the same problem I have with a lot of places that use a lot of lettuce. It comes from a bag and tastes bad to me.

We eat here quite often the staff is very friendly the food is very good ! maybe add a little more beef or chicken to their entrees other then that great food

I had an absolutely delicious meal here when I was staying in Canton on business in July 2013. It was actually quite surprising. Something must have been wrong with the AC because it was HOT in there. I had a chicken fajita quesadilla topped in queso sauce and a bean burrito — it was so good it was exciting. I would definitely go back.

Suddenly it seems as if Canton has some real choices when it comes to Mexican food. We now have two fairly high profile places to choose from and in my opinion they are both great.
Both places have similar food and a similar pricing model. Both places offer generous portions of delicious Mexican food.
I think El Camino Real wins out by being more visible as they are located right on the square in downtown. I also feel that they have a more interesting décor, I really love the brightly painted booths. In general I feel that you get your food a little quicker at El Camino Real as well.
I think the things that make El Camino Real come in on second place are their chips. While the salsa is delicious, the chips themselves are very plain, slightly thick, and have almost no salt on them. Another place where they lose out is the building interior. This is in an old building with VERY high ceilings. Because of this, it is very difficult to be heard in here due to the echoiness. I understand that there is little they can do about this, I just thought I would mention it.
Overall this is a great place for terrific Mexican food.

Although I miss my mexican food in SoCal, this place was pretty good. Clean, good prices, and big menu with all the classics. Our server was friendly and called us senoritas… you know that kinda thing makes it feel authentic. HA! I ordered the nachos fajitas. It was a mountain of typical fajita veggies and chicken, pico de gallo, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. Best thing about this place is the freaky fast service. I mean seriously, they worked magic in that kitchen. My only complaint would be that my chips got soggy really quick. I preferred to use the chips from the free basket the gave to the table. So glad to see some new places popping up in town. Now I have options beyond pizza and McDonalds! Support local businesses!
