El Camino Real — Restaurant in Winston-Salem

This place has some great dishes at great prices. On Tuesdays & Thursdays they have $1 tacos. I truly believe any dish you ask for you will be satisfied with . I live there breaded beef steak with rice and beans. It is perfectly seasoned and a decent size portion. Full bar service available also.

Update April 2024

Located in a shopping strip just off the road. Large ample parking lot, some outdoor seating. Very inviting as soon as you walk in, festive environment with music in the background. Staff greets and seats you immediately at one of the many tables or booths. There is also limited seating at the bar, which has a great selection of beers and mixed drink’s. Menu has lots of your regular items found at other Mexican restaurants but here they also have some more traditional dishes, always check out their specials also as they are usually pretty great. The free chips are fresh and light with some good sauce, hotter version available upon requests. Their Choriqueso dip is creamy with small pieces of chorizo in every scoop. Their tacos come in 4’s and can be combined 2 and 2. The Al Pastor are the ones who the most flavors, with onions and grilled pineapple in every bite, comes with a red and green sauce…..I lean green! My wife got the Mojarra Frita, a whole fried fish which is crispy on outside and tender inside. ACP is OK as per my daughter. Overall it is a nice family friendly restaurant where owners and staff value...

Very poor customer service, I've gone a few times and today was the last straw. I placed a to go order online, came in to pick up my order. Stood at the counter young lady said someone would be with me. I replied ok. About 5 mins goes by and no one comes to the counter. During the 5 mins the young lady that greeted me walks past me multiple times. She finally says has anyone helped no and which I reply no I just need to pick up my to go order. She gets an attitude and ask what I order. I told her my food was sitting in the to go spot. Rudely she tells me to go ahead and get my food.

I could have grabbed my food a long time ago but I didn't want them to think I was stealing. I told her to go ahead and get manager because the way she got mad at me was un called for. He just walked away. I then asked another lady for a Manger she said there wasn't one on duty. I told her how I felt and she said I just wanted to argue.I understand being short staffed but I was completely ignored. And when I spoke to another young lady she said she didn't see me standing at the counter. She lied, we made eye contact multiple times. This is not the first time I was treated like this. Of course me being the only black person in the restaurant did not make it better. No one can convince me that people are not treated a certain way because of the color of they skin. I will take my...

This is one of my favorites in town. Everything is so tasty but, now that I’ve had the tacos, I rarely order anything else.

One of the highlights is the tableside-made guacamole. 🥑 It’s a treat to watch, and you can get them to make it to your liking—more garlic, fewer tomatoes, no soap . . . errr cilantro. Here’s the thing though: I don’t even LIKE guacamole. But I urge my companions to get it and always have a taste.

The margaritas are large and they have a variety of flavors. They are sometimes a bit too sweet, but I enjoy them. There are often margarita specials and always daily meal specials. Their soups are also well done, if that’s your bag.

The service is friendly, attentive, and accommodating. I always feel welcomed and appreciated. On one visit, they even took care of my well-behaved dog when we ate on the patio. The waiter even made a menu suggestion for the pup.

I wish it were closer to me, but I always find it...
