Campland Cantina — Restaurant in San Diego

We have eaten here many times. Camped here with groups several times. Usually pleased with the food and service. All I can say is don’t go on a weekend in the summer, and not on a Sunday morning. Hubby waited for his burrito Saturday night for an HOUR. Granted it was Saturday night in a packed environment, his bad. But this morning, when most campers were leaving, we (4 of us) walked over for breakfast. There were some at 5he bar seated, and couples interspersed at different tables, but by far not crowded. Us 2 couples each ordered our meals. We were in front of our friends. I ordered a breakfast sandwich, and hubs ordered a Arizona breakfast. Our friends ordered a burrito to share. They got theirs a full half hour before we got ours. I finally had to go up and ask, and told we were next. 15 min later we still had not gotten ours.

But our meal came a full 45 min later than our friends who were behind us in ordering. BS!!! Besides paying for the overpriced cocktail!!! Too bad because I really...

There's a Barenaked Ladies song with lyrics about a restaurant "where hungry people like to eat." The joke is that the food is not that great, but if you're hungry enough then it tastes amazing.

All that to say, if you're not hungry, there's definitely nothing special about the cantina. But when you are hungry, it's heaven. Don't order the pizza....

I went to this place because of the good reviews. But I was really disappointed with the food. I ordered a carnitas burrito the size was ok, but the quality of the product does not correspond to the price. The guacamole was simple with big chunks of tomato and onion with little cheese, I felt like I was eating tomato with meat. I must say that the meat was soft but the flavor was simple. The drink was very good, good balance. The bad thing was the shredded coconut they put in, I thought it would taste more like coconut. The wait staff was very friendly and the delivery time was very good. The place has a...
