Camino Cocteleria & Cocina — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

First, very nice setting all around. Spacious and clean, bar looked very nice. The food. The theme is mild or bland, depending on your preferences in Mexican food. I like Mexican food because of the generous use of garlic, onions, chilis, chili pepper, cumin, coriander, cilantro, oregano and probably lots of stuff I don't know about! This was not that. Nachos with chicken chorizo. Yay for making the chorizo with chicken, but very bland. And the chips were room temperature and the toppings only a little warmer. But they looked good and a generous portion. 3/5 I did the "Pick 3." 2a. Enchilada verde. The green sauce looked good, just no kick from almost anything. 3/5 2b. Burrito with shredded beef. Good texture on the beef, just under seasoned. 3/5. 2c. Taco with ground beef. Ditto. 3/5 Sides - rice and beans. Very mild, but I guess that's OK, just not my preference. That's all I had. One of us had the fajitas, steak and shrimp and they came out sizzling and smelled great. And generous portions of veg, so vicariously I'd say 4.5/5. General comments. No salsas or hot sauces offered. I did not ask, so that's on me. Happy Hour specials looked good (1/2 price apps and discounted "House cocktails" and beer, but it's only 3 -5 PM. I'm retired and I don't get to Happy Hour that early! So, pleasant enough, and a really safe bet for taking guests who aren't much into "spicy stuff!" And if I am around some weekday afternoon between 3 and 5, I would definitely get a beer...

Overall enjoyed it, and will be back! Food was good, drinks were GREAT, just kind of took a while.

The highlight for us were the speciality drinks and margaritas which were so tasty and also beautiful. A lot of options as well, featuring mezcal and flavors like tamarind. The staff were very attentive to refilling !

The servers were also extremely kind, although the timing of appetizers and entrees for us was a bit off. Cheese dip and guacamole were very delicious, and enjoyed the fajitas and flautas. Admit this is just my taste, but it wasn’t spicy at all, and I prefer spicier. Overall a...

The assistant manager Gabriel is the most kind and caring man; he exceeds expectations of a restaurant manager by a long shot! This modern Mexican restaurant showboats Mexican pride, while having more than reasonable prices. Food was cooked perfectly and quickly, it felt like we just ordered. I cannot recommend this place enough; the delicious margaritas are an added bonus too. Nothing but positive vibes over here! Huge shout out to our server Fran for being so great with my toddler! He went the extra mile engaging with my child, to the point of my son smiling and giggling every time...
