    As always, wonderful food and service. It was a bit louder tonight than the other times we've been there, so it made it a bit harder to hear. Will always keep coming back this is one of our top Wilmington Restaurants.

    We really enjoyed our dining experience the evening of December 23, 2024. The noise level was perfect, the music playing was enjoyable, and not overly loud. We could enjoy conversation without shouting at one another. Our server was attentive, without being overly bothersome. She made excellent recommendations, was friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food came out quickly, was prepared properly, and tasted excellent. We all truly enjoyed our experience, and advised the manager who came by our table of our compliments.

    First time at ElCamino. Made a reservation for Saturday evening. Table was ready when we arrived. Atmosphere was festive and the cleanliness was the first thing I noticed. Our waitress was very attentive, knowledgeable and polite. Our food was delicious and very tasty and fresh ingredients. We will definitely return soon. Thee Morellis

    The best Cowboy Cut Pork Chop I’ve ever had! The Brussels were a little too oily but mashed sweet potatoes were yummy! Overall, good food, good value, and good service.

    This was basically a nice experience . It was basically empty when we got there but soon became extremely busy and loud so not as relaxing as we had hoped:) Don’t like that they automatically add 20 % tip to bill and then think you should give more??? For just 2 people!! Large group yes but 2? We are usually good tippers so if they had given us the chance the waitress probably would have gotten a bigger tip but adding right away as you bring the bill … NO Thank you!! Doubt we will return even though the cinnamon rolls were amazing !!
