DrewskiJanuary 17, 2015Got the usual chips and salsa, nachos with a side of guacamole, and the crispy chiles rellenos and everything was amazing. Waitress wasn't very attentive but the food made up for it. Highly recommend.
Roxanne AeschlemanNovember 10, 2013Cheesesteak burrito was perfect! Loved the cheese sauce! Nachos were the best. Good price on appetizers and drinks. Our waiter and busboy were also pleasant. This place place is a must try!- Denver WestwordJuly 23, 2013This fun Highland neighborhood joint has more margarita options than you can shake a stick at. There's something for every taste at both of their daily happy hours.

For the parents out there: check out the most badass changing table in the Highlands in the women's bathroom.
richard sheppardNovember 21, 2015Brunch vegetarian green chili stew,, kept it and mixed chili rellenos, very good,, chase it with a churro
The Queso is amazing!! And if debating between shrimp or fish tacos definitely go with shrimp. The fish are good but lacking the flavor that the shrimp have.- Denver WestwordAugust 5, 2014The atmosphere at El Camino is fun and welcoming, and so is the food. Read more
Jessica DAugust 29, 2013Love the neighborhood! Margaritas are to die for and Chef John Becker knows how to spice up the classics!
Anthony SextonJune 30, 2018Coin margarita is the only drink you need. The jalapeño caps go really well with them.
ErnestApril 29, 2010Beer's, chips and salsa were great!! The only other thing I would have liked is when the Nuggets, Broncos or Rockies play to turn down the music and turn up the TV's. Please waitresses when asked for
