El Camino Real - Philadelphia

Their drinks are wonderfully flavored, and the menu is excellent. I ordered the Nashville chicken, which might be too spicy for some, but I found it to be just the right level of flavor. Parking can be tricky in this area, but you might consider using the ACME parking lot. We decided to sit inside, but the outdoor seating is quite well insulated and cozy if that’s a preference for you.

Amazing service from my bartender Avery! On a slammed Saturday night she was able to take my order olus 4 others without writing anything down. The drink was made to perfection. The food that came out was piping hot and came within 10 minutes of ordering. Great atmosphere, great staff, and amazing food.

El Camino Real provided catering for our wedding in the summer of 2021. The manager, Josh, was attentive and responsive throughout the wedding planning process, even during the challenges of the pandemic. Once we secured an outdoor venue, El Camino worked with us to meet our park’s restrictions. The food and drinks were fantastic, and the staff was incredibly generous and kind. Thank you for making our wedding so special!

El Camino is a well-known Mexican restaurant located in the Northern Liberties area of Philadelphia. The servers are always friendly, articulate, and really cool. The menu is extensive yet easy to navigate. Plus, the bathrooms are consistently clean and well-maintained. During this visit, I ordered the Prince Edward Island mussels with sausage. They were served in a rich, savory Tuscan-style broth with tomatoes, onions, parsley, and cilantro. The mussels were huge and incredibly flavorful! The broth was absolutely delightful; I was genuinely amazed by how good they were. I highly recommend trying the mussels—maybe even ordering two portions! If you find yourself in Northern Liberties and craving great Mexican food, be sure to check out El Camino and let them know Shimmy sent you!

Love this place!!! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, its all insanely good. Don't cheat yourself and make sure you get their wings, they're immaculate!! They most definitely have one of the better happy hours in the city which features: $3 tacos quesadillas and bottles of select beer, $4 select Draft Beers, $5 Spirits and ~margaritas~, and to top it off 1/2 price wine. The atmosphere is always great and the decor on the inside is on point for sure! Definitely try it out if you haven't!!
