Camino Real

So diappointing but yet some people really dig it. I like real Mexican food, like what I ate in California. I like fresh salsa and fresh chips. The food appeals to Gringos. I wanted to ask the staff where they eat Mexican food, because I know they wouldn’t eat that stuff

Authentic aura with Mexican music playing, earth tones. Although the place seems small the booths are large and there is ample space.
Our waiter was prompt and attentive, checked on us several times. This may have had something to do with us walking in 30 minutes before close, to our shame; we realized this after having ordered. Had a chimichanga which I found delicious, crispy and tasty. I enjoyed the experience as a whole.

«Mexican» is our go-​to type of food when my parents come to visit so naturally we gave Camino Real a try. We had high hopes from reading the good reviews. Unfortunately I should have taken the advice from all the negative reviewers. The service was okay and the only reason I even gave two stars was because I liked the salsa. The food itself was awful. My dad said his tamale (one of his favorite foods) tasted funny and my fajitas looked like a heap of chicken tomato slop. I was disgusted with the look of the fajitas right from the start and the taste was mediocre. Please, if you’re on the fence after reading the reviews don’t waste your money.

The service is pretty prompt. I am not a big fan f the food though. I have been there several times and can’t seem to find anything that I really enjoy.

Took a friend here for lunch… We chose Camino Real because we both love the other locations. I probably would say the Antioch location is my favorite restaurant in the metro area… this Camino wasn’t up to par. We had cheese dip. Which was good… How could it not be. Our service seemed a bit distant or tired. But the part that kills me is the entrée. We both had the chicken chimichanga. They got our order wrong right off the bat, but then kinda and quickly fixed it. The food was nothing special. Keep in mind the Antioch location has FANTASTIC food, so I was disappointed. The pico was old, the onions were translucent and it tasted like little more than cilantro. Which normally I would love, but this time I was just too aware they had been holding on to the stuff a bit too long. Future girls lunch out will be at other locations.

The original and still the best in town! Daily food and drink specials. Great food. Great service, Great people! I’ve been coming here since I was a kid when they first opened… Like… 25 years ago!!! Can’t say anything bad about this place. The manager takes a lot of pride in the food and service and it shows. It’s not the newest or nicest building in town, but it’s clean, and the staff are fast, and friendly.
The original, and STILL THE BEST!!!

Typically, you know your going to get friendly service and consistently good food at a Camino Real, & I have fond memories of going to the Broad St location as a child; I think it was the 1^st Mexican restaurant in the Boro. And while our visits at the other locations in Murfreesboro are always good, this was TERRIBLE. I must admit, it was primarily the service and cleanliness (or lack thereof). The hostess was downright rude and the server seemed as if he was exhausted by the very idea of speaking. He tried, a little. .. I guess. We did get everything we asked for. If it had not been for one very hungry family member out of the 6 of us, we would NEVER have made it past 2 minutes of the unhelpful and blatantly rude hostess. All veterans of the food service business, we tried to make the best of it, tried to «kill them with kindness», but the staff and the atmosphere ruined the food.

good food. So I was a little sad that the waiting staff took forever to take our orders, and to bring us our checks. But the restaurant itself is very good. If I enjoyed going to Mexican restaurants more often, I would probably come back here.

Firstly, parking is a little hectic if they’re busy. There’s a lot of parking in the back but there is a bit of a walk. The restaurant itself has a weird layout with three dining areas pretty much blocked off from one another. This visit we were stuck in the dungeon-​like area behind the cashier stand, where employees apparently like to hang out. The booths in this area are pretty small so it was cramped most of the time.
I had tacos pastor and a side of rice. I was also brought a side of beans as well for some reason. I guess they just made it a combo sort of deal. Anyways. Pastor was really good, but very spicy compared to others I’ve had. Overall service was good and price was affordable. I enjoy all the Camino Reals in the city, but this is the smallest so it may not be as great for parties.

Had my staple beef fajitas. Excellent as always. Service was a little slow for a Monday night and no people in the restaurant.

While the food is great… the customer service is awful. I had left my phone on pay counter and realized it not even making it out the second door. I walked back in and they swear that there was never a phone. The phone was on and ringing, but when i had someone track it, it stated it was there so i went back inside and told them. all of sudden my phone was off… they swore that nooone had my phone. never once did i see them ask any of employees. Karma.
I will never be a patron in any of their restaurants.

Who the heck don’t like Camino? We only have half a dozen of them in our lil town! Everything is good!

This place is wonderful.
1. They have Horchata (most of the time)!
2. Service is always great. Tables and dishes are always clean.
3. I can order a single order of the mixed fajitas, split it with a friend, and be extremely full afterwards. GREAT value for a generous helping of sizzling chicken and steak strips served with plenty of peppers and sweet onions.

2^nd best Mexican restaurant in the boro. Great food, service, and usually a great environment. It’s close to a college campus (MTSU) so usually at night it’s jam packed with college kids. Even so, there’s a ton of seating for every one so you should get seated pretty quick even if it’s crowded.

I just have to post an update because being new to Murfreesboro, I posted this about the wrong location. I was trying to post about the location that is off of Old Ft. Pkwy and Cason Lane. I was later told that the location we went to (off Old Ft.) was terrible, and that this one on Broad St. was the one that was the best in Murfreesboro. So I apologize for the crappy review of the wrong location!

I eat here at least once a month (usually more). Service is great and friendly and the food is SO good. Fridays and Saturdays are usually packed so come after the dinner rush.
Best menu items: Cheese Dip– you can not eat there without ordering it! Lunch Fajitas– Good portion, good price. Alambres (with chicken, streak, or mixed) a little more pricey, but DEFINITELY worth it!

Trendy, and large menu… just not my favorite food

One of the better spots in the ‘Boro for Mexican food. There is another restaurant that I consider top notch, but many that I consider inferior.
Camino Real has done it right for years. From the food, to the waitstaff, to even the Sangria. Man, that’s good Sangria! I have eaten all sorts of items from Camino that I’m afraid to even try at other places.
I eat at Camino at least once a month in various locations. Each restaurant sticks to the authentic taste and design on their dishes. Did I mention the Sangria?
Fat guy approved!

Used to be the best mexican place in town when I lived there. I still go back time to time and it always seems like great texmex food. Not truely authentic, but the normal American version of Mexican food. If you want some decent eats give this place a try.

They have great lunch specials — but not the BEST mexican I’ve ever had. Although their white cheese dip is definitely awesome. Good service!
