El Camino - Alamogordo

Wow, what an experience! I've never encountered a completely empty restaurant for dinner before. Being prepared to practice patience with the waitress was truly unique. Make sure to call out the orders by number because she can't string together a single sentence. I couldn't help but think of Dory from Finding Nemo. It was unlike anything I've ever experienced, and it makes me laugh now just thinking about it. Good luck!

This hidden gem offers delicious Mexican cuisine. The service is friendly and courteous. The decor is simple and unpretentious, but don’t let that fool you. Be sure to request your green chili extra spicy if that’s your preference. Everything is made from scratch daily. I had the Chili con Carne, which was both spicy and flavorful. Don’t miss their homemade chips and salsa – they’re definitely worth stopping by for! So good!

I've been visiting El Camino for over five years, and I always order the #5. It comes with a bit of everything: enchiladas, tacos, tamales, rice, beans, and an avocado salad, plus chips and salsa. Everything is made fresh, so I really don’t understand how anyone could get food poisoning here. El Camino has been around since 1969, and the owner is incredibly nice. My advice is to never judge a book by its cover!

We were pleasantly surprised! The food was incredible, and the service was impeccable! It’s a charming mom-and-pop establishment that has been operating for 50 years!

My daughter, Katrina Olson, has completely fallen in love with this charming little hidden gem! She finally brought me here, and I must say, it has a wonderfully humble and cozy atmosphere. Our server, Kerril (with a K), greeted us as if we were old friends—so warm and welcoming! I ordered the Enchiladas, but there was a mix-up, and the owner accidentally prepared Chilli con Queso instead. As it turned out, that was a delightful mistake! My daughter was ecstatic! Honestly, it's the best Mexican food I’ve had in a long time! The owner, Koch, has been running this establishment since 1969, which is truly admirable! We will definitely be coming back!!! Highly recommended!!!
