“ "Never Before, but Many More" I have never before tasted a taco this fresh and delicious, but I look forward to having many more. A food truck owner selling tacos did so well that he bought his own building and went from food truck to a cool little restaurant. Nice road side restaurant with an outdoor patio deck located on the edge of Woodbury, CT. I had three great tacos and a Modelo beer to round out my Mexican experience. I had a pork taco, a steak taco, and a fish taco. They're all soft tacos made with the freshest of ingredients, such as cilantro, red cabbage, pineapple, tomatillo, and mango. Can't wait to take my wife here. Everything was Deelicious ! ”
“ best tacos around hands down. I love them all- except I haven't tried the sweet potato one. great prices. love the indoor setup. ”
“ Simple menu; reasonably priced; very tasty, especially the fish tacos. ”
“ The tacos were so flavorful with the Mango salsa & Cole slaw! ”
“ Great lunch food, has some good beer selection. Small menu but easy to choose from. Definitely Americanized version of Mexican food, but still great! Great place to get a quick bite . Burritos are huge. Wasn't a huge fan of the chips - very hard. ”
“ The food was very good quality and flavor. Real rice and beans, not the fast food rice and beans many Mexican places serve. If you eat outside as we did, you have to put up with road noise, but otherwise it’s fine for a counter order type place. Priced right and delicious! ”
“ Although I haven’t been to the storefront myself, my parents rave about this place so I decided to book their taco truck for my birthday over Memorial Day weekend. I am so glad I did. Overall communication with Haig was top notch, responded immediately whenever I emailed. He also proactively reached out when they had a cancellation to offer me an earlier time. Mark and Emily were amazing the day of. They showed up early and made sure everyone had one last round of tacos before closing up shop. Super personable and great to work with. Most importantly the tacos were a hit!! Everyone’s favorites seemed to be the fish and steak. Chicken was good as well, but the fish and steak were the standouts. I highly recommend anyone looking for a food truck idea to check out El Camino. Reasonably priced compared to pizza trucks. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. ”
“ This place started as a taco truck in 2011 and it was so popular that owner Haig Leonard opened this little gem of a restaurant in 2015. It's a small rustic space with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are all friendly and efficient. Best of all, the food is fantastic, each item on the menu has rich blend of flavors and textures. We always start with their house made chips and salsa. And then my fav is the fish taco; white fish marinated in coconut milk and lime, dredged in cornmeal and fried, with a mango salsa, shaved cabbage and sour cream. But there isn't a loser on the menu. A must try for anyone who likes mexican food. ”
