About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
Good food, good mood.

Bar Camino puts a fresh twist on Mexican-Latin food favorites, highlighting the influence of traditional Mexican ingredients and flavors throughout Latin America. The restaurant’s worldly take on Mexican cuisine includes dishes ranging from a traditional skirt steak ranchero plate to a refined King salmon with fresh plantains and cilantro rice.

Our décor combines contemporary and traditional aesthetics, with neon lights, a refinished cypress king’s table that seats twelve, and a patio featuring picnic-style tables with bright blue umbrellas.

The bar program is similarly eclectic, with a play on a dirty martini with tequila shaken tableside and tropical drinks featuring fresh strawberry, mango, and hibiscus flavors. Bar Camino will feature happy hour Monday through Friday – from 3-5 PM and a “reverse happy hour” Thur-Sat from 8 PM until close.

    This was our first visit to the newest Mexican restaurant to occupy this location. The food was really good and our server was excellent. Very attentive and very personable. Inside is a bit noisy but we enjoyed the high energy. We look forward to going back this summer to eat out on the patio. We had the Relleno with Carnitas (took about 1/3 home) and the Tex-Mex Combo. We started with chips and salsa and the green salsa was excellent.

    The restaurant is festive, but VERY loud. We had a party of 4 and could barely hear each other across the table. It took unusually long to get our drinks (they ran out of glasses) and food. When the food did arrive, one of the dishes was not correct. The veggie tacos were supposed to have butternut squash and spinach on them, but instead, it appeared that the cook simply took fajita veggies and threw it on a tortilla. The tortillas were quite greasy as well. When we inquried, the server checked with the kitchen and was told they ran out of squash and spinash. Our reservation was at 6:15, so it was early to run out of ingredients for food. The restaurant did comp that meal, so that customer service was positive. Sorry, Bar Camino, you lost 4 customers last night.

    I really enjoy eating dinner in the bar area. There are a few bar tops that will comfortably sit 4 guests which is a first come basis. From 5-6pm everyday there is a happy hour menu with $5 tacos and $5 margaritas. The tacos are excellent and the happy hour make it a great value!

    The food is so good. Favorites are chili relleno, enchiladas, tortilla soup, carnitas. Caesar salad and nachos. Margaritas are perfect and the service is friendly and attentive.

    This site has had a lot of different restaurants but Bar Camino knocks it out of the park. The menu choices offer authentic Mexican food and prices are reasonable. Happy Hour is particularly affordable. But the big thing was the service. Our waitress couldn’t have done a better job. Friendly and helpful, she made sure we got our orders in before Happy Hour ended. I have rarely seem such great service. The outside seating in the side is terrific. Covered and heated

    This was my first time at Bat Camino. The food was good and reasonably priced. The staff was nice and responsive. It is a nice big space with outside and inside seating. Based on the size, I am sure it can get very noisy but I went on a Sunday and it was perfect.

    Just ok. Had hoped for better after reading some reviews. Good for a family night out - lots of kids/families. Food is not anything special. Shrimp tacos are fried and we are talking DEEP fried - ended up having to peel off the batter as it was just way too much. Cocktails good but very slow to come out and we shared a flight of mescal - that was fun. But unfortunately restaurant smelled like the bathrooms when you walked in (or maybe it was all the kids under 2?), service friendly but not super attentive - they did get an order wrong but were quick to fix so that was good. Just had hoped for an experience a little more notable. Probably will not go back.
