    My fav little go to spot. Food portions are generous and tasty. The drinks are great! Did I tell you they offer to go drinks!!! For the affordable pricing I will continue to support

  • Review 2 (2024-08-16 - Rating: 5)

    Stopped in for a quick bite while exploring the neighborhood. Had the black bean salad, and it was huge. It was a delicious light meal, perfect for the afternoon. Quick service, nice employees, very comfortable vibe. Clean and welcoming.

    I had this place saved on my list for a little bit, so I was excited to finally try it once I was in the area. We got the steak tacos to start and I was really happy with the quality of the steak. They gave nice long juicy pieces which was a pleasant surprise. I got the fish tacos, which I thought were pretty good, but missing something. My friend got the burrito which seemed like it was missing the “wrap” part. My other friend got the salmon tacos, and they were disappointing and dry. Margaritas were very sugary.

  • Review 4 (2023-01-08 - Rating: 5)

    This place was an absolute slam dunk! Amazing Spanish food for good prices and when I went the atmosphere was super laid back. Unbelievable service, got our food in probably less than 15 minutes and the staff was very nice. Highly recommend!

  • Review 5 (2023-05-08 - Rating: 5)

    Everything we got was great! According to my mom, not many places have elote, so she was thrilled to eat that (and it was yummy :)) In my opinion, the pastor tacos were the best - would definitely recommend to pastor taco enthusiasts.

  • Review 6 (2024-03-06 - Rating: 5)

    On a quest for Mexican food in NYC, it leads you down many paths of disappointment. Yes you can find the best tacos, but finding sit down tex mex is hard to come by. That is until finally wandering into the Mexican place I had passed by so many times. This place is very very good. I got the chicken chilaquiles and the sauce was very good and the amount of meat they gave was very generous. Everyone I went with liked their food. The search is over!

  • Review 7 (2024-12-15 - Rating: 5)

    Delicious foodThe Margaritas are 🔥We ordered a large guacamole to share, the guac was fresh and the chips were nice and crispyI ordered the steak with yucca fries- the steak was very well made and seasoned,the yucca fries were crispy on the outside and creamy on the insideAnother friend ordered a veggie based dish that looked very tastyWe washed it all down with some Margaritas, these were one of the best I had in this area in a whileThe menu is reasonably priced, great value for moneyThe staff is super nice and friendly10/10

  • Review 8 (2023-04-14 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic Mexican food with a really friendly laid back atmosphere. Delicious tacos (had fish and shrimp) with reasonably priced beers. Servers were helpful and attentive. They have a few tables outside and a covered seating area however inside is air conditioned and exactly what we were looking for. Would defiantly come again!

  • Review 9 (2018-11-27 - Rating: 5)

    One of the few places that has dos equis on tap to go along with their great food! Their brunch menu is solid but dinner had a bit more selection. Had their diablos huevos which were awesome, spicy enough without drowning out the other flavors. Fish tacos are crispy and flakey and the skirt steak perfectly cooked. Drinks are well made as well. Lastly their home made hot sauce is fantastic! Perfect spice level with lots of flavor.

  • Review 10 (2023-02-05 - Rating: 4)

    Authentic food! great taste, really fresh and quality tasting ingredients. Not too crowded or loud. Would highly recommend. They dont take reservations only fist come first serve.

  • Review 11 (2022-05-24 - Rating: 4)

    I came here during the dance parade so the area was pretty packed. Nonetheless, I was able to get a seat outside. I only ordered drinks and the guacamole appetizer. The service was a bit slow, but I would assume it was due to the crowds from the parade. Other than that, the drinks were extremely generous with alcohol and the guacamole was very tasty. Would definitely stop by here again if ever I were in the area.

  • Review 12 (2024-05-07 - Rating: 5)

    This family run restaurant is Amazing food is tasty and delicious they something for everyone and don’t let me start with the cocktails and amazing drinks they’re prepared while the customers service is amazing. Is definitely a place you need to try for yourself!!

    Good house margaritas. The drink sizes are large and generous. Nice window seats and music.

  • Review 17 (2020-02-25 - Rating: 4)

    A fun brunch spot with great food. I had this Huevos Diablos with a habanero corn bread base that was so yummy. Your brunch comes with a coMplimentary drink of a marg, bloody mary, or mimosa. The only reason I gave this is 4 vs. 5 stars is the portions at this place are very uneven. My friend had a massive burrito for the same price while my boyfriend had the Chicken Chilaquiles which was half the size of my plate all for the same price. Definitely a fun spot worth checking out just double check on how big your portion will be.

  • Review 18 (2022-07-13 - Rating: 5)

    Got the carnitas tacos and the fajitas - both amazing. The portions are a bit small but don’t let that fool you - we were stuffed by the end of our meals

  • Review 20 (2019-08-11 - Rating: 5)

    Always a hit, never a miss at El Camion. A bit on the pricey side, but plenty of food to share if you’re on a budget. The chips and guacamole are above par here, so be sure to save room for your entrée!

    I loved ❤️ the food & drinks though they can give a bit more of the Guomole, I was also surprised they didnt carry flan a delicious custard dessert. I was disappointed with the music 🎶 they had on., it did not go with the theme at all!

  • Review 28 (2023-10-28 - Rating: 4)

    Drinks were great . Food was above average my girl got the chimichanga or the dish that had shredded chicken and like chips in it crunchy soggy chips with shredded CHICKEN THAT WAS FREAKING AMAZING . I HAD TACOS and they were good but that other dish IS A MUST TRY AS FOR drink Pina coladas were great

  • Review 30 (2021-06-29 - Rating: 5)

    The food is fantastic, the drinks are amazing. The location gives you that a city fun Manhattan vibes. The service and customer service is definitely a five star. The owner comes around talks to you like he has known you forever. This place was very welcoming I had an amazing time I will definitely come back and bring my friends and co-workers!

  • Review 31 (2018-12-20 - Rating: 5)

    Brunch is amazing and very reasonably priced!Service could use improvement, slow and inattentive.Ive been here twice since my last review. They have new servers and service has greatly improved. The food is fantastic and Im still shocked how affordable it is and the quality of the food!

    Best Mexican food in East Village :)

  • Review 37 (2022-06-20 - Rating: 5)

    Ordered nachos with Guac, chicken burritos and sparkling water. Everything was delicious, perfect flavors and wait staff are efficient, and on time. Ive been here several times over the years and they never disappoint. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

  • Review 38 (2023-06-18 - Rating: 5)

    A casual spot to enjoy Mexican inspired food. I was here with a friend and my 9 year old. We all had the enchiladas with beef. Very delicious and the beef was tender. Yum! I liked the freshness of the margarita (regular) I could taste the lime. My daughter had a guava lemonade. The servers were friendly and attentive. We had a good relaxing time; there is a time limit of 90 minutes for dining, but we were not rushed and left when we were ready. I look forward to going back.

  • Review 39 (2022-09-07 - Rating: 5)

    Great Service, excellent food and amazing drinks.The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The meal is well seasoned and the drinks are mixed to perfection. The price isnt bad either. Besides being one of the best Mexican restaurant in New York, they have amazing chicken wings!!! Try it you wont regret it.

  • Review 40 (2022-05-29 - Rating: 5)

    This place is great for lunch. Personally I think you should split the margaritas between two ppl (they are very strong). The food is good, there are better tacos elsewhere in the east village so order something like the enchiladas (they are very good)

  • Review 41 (2021-08-27 - Rating: 5)

    I really enjoyed this place. And so did my friends.The food is very fresh,and they can adjust the order for you as well.Im not a drinker per se, but my friends loved their drinks! Yuri was our server and he is a sweetheart.

  • Review 42 (2020-12-07 - Rating: 4)

    I loved this place. It was a fun place to go. Of course I filled up on the chips and salsa. I loved the margaritas. I had a chicken burrito and it was very fulling. The atmosphere was fun and they have a nice bar to hang out if there is a wait.

  • Review 43 (2022-02-13 - Rating: 5)

    As one of my neighborhood restaurants, I have been dying to eat here since the beginning of the pandemic...and I finally got my chance. It was delicious! I only wish I had been able to eat more and sample so many dishes. Darn these dental implants! I have one more month and then I plan on going to town! I cant wait! No one should be on a soft diet for 4 months...IT IS TORTURE! I will give you my new and improved report sometime in March...yum!

  • Review 44 (2022-03-02 - Rating: 5)

    Best ambiance ever. Calimari was delicious, shots where amazing and excessive (as they should be). Overall great experience, Im planning my next visit. BEST PLACE TO VISIT or have it become your regular spot (like mine).

  • Review 45 (2023-04-17 - Rating: 5)

    We stumbled upon this place, like the disillusioned tourists we were. What a great place!Fish tacos were amazing. Service was excellent. Would highly recommend.

  • Review 46 (2019-12-15 - Rating: 4)

    Oddly, although I have lived in the neighborhood a very long time, never went in until recently. Went for a late dinner but think it would be better for a brunch. Dishes are Mexican fusion and I found the flavors good but a bit delicate for Mexican (compare it to Zaragoza a block away).

  • Review 47 (2023-06-15 - Rating: 5)

    I was skeptical about going here for dinner because the pictures of the food on Yelp and Google did not look so good. But I’m glad that I went! I loved the food, and the service was amazing. Definitely recommend this place, it also has good outdoor space for the summer months!

  • Review 48 (2022-08-20 - Rating: 5)

    It may not look like your upscale Mexican restaurant you find in Union Square or SoHo, but the service and food are just as good here, if not better (and more reasonably priced). El Camion’s dark decor gives a more dive bar vibe and they do in fact serve up a strong margarita, but I’m here to eat. We ordered the chips and guacamole, steak fajitas, yucca fries, and braised pork shoulder. Chips and guacamole easily fall short at some spots, but there’s just enough salt and lime juice in the guac that balances this one. The chips weren’t too salty and they offered enough chips (we all know that’s always an issue).The steak fajitas, sautéed with peppers and onions and served with 4 warm flour tortillas, also came with yellow rice and black beans. I highly recommend this dish. The steak was well seasoned, cooked medium rare, and was juicy and tender.The braised pork shoulder had a tomato based sauce (not what I expected), but was delicious. The meat easily fell apart and was very tender.The yucca fries were great. Crispy and included a side of guacamole and salad.If you’re looking for a solid Mexican spot with more than just tacos, go here.

    First time eating at this Mexican restaurant and the food was really good.

  • Review 50 (2017-07-04 - Rating: 5)

    Loved this place! Best fajitas we have ever had. The mojitos are delicious and so is the salsa. The guacamole is fresh and has a lovely, spicy finish. The elote (seasoned grilled corn) was tasty. The restaurant was packed but we still received precise and prompt.service.

    The al pastor and carne asada tacos are some of of not the best tacos Ive had in the city. They pair especially well with the large margaritas. Service was very good and timely with spot-on recommendations. Definitely a place to frequent.

  • Review 53 (2022-10-21 - Rating: 5)

    Great little restaurant! Chimichangas were awesome! Margaritas were a slight let down as they tasted like those pre mix kind. But still a great place

  • Review 54 (2021-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    El Camion Cantina is one of my favorite spots for a Latin inspired brunch. The food is fresh and amply portioned, and the prices are exceptionally reasonable for the area. I’d highly recommend the huevos diablos and a frozen Margarita.

  • Review 55 (2018-04-25 - Rating: 5)

    I loved veggie Chimichangas and their green salsa.

  • Review 56 (2022-08-25 - Rating: 5)

    Such a cute neighborhood spot! Came here with my friend who is vegetarian and she found lots of options. She loved the vegetarian taco. We both loved the margs!!

  • Review 57 (2017-02-12 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect for a margarita at the bar ($5 during happy hour and good!) with great conversation. I did notice a very dissatisfied customer who received pretty poor service from a waitress but the guy behind the bar was lovely to me.

  • Review 58 (2019-03-11 - Rating: 5)

    The food is fine, but the frozen margaritas are some of the best around. Britt Daniel, lead singer and guitarist of Spoon, rated them the best in New York, and I completely agree

  • Review 59 (2022-06-02 - Rating: 4)

    Solid Mexican restaurant with all of the expected, traditional options. It always pleases but never wows. So why I rated a 4 versus 5. Very consistent and dependable.

  • Review 60 (2011-11-07 - Rating: 5)

    Everything about this place is amazing. I come to brunch here every Sunday and I cant get enough!! The deal is great - you get an entree for about $10 with a free drink and coffee. Cant ask for more in the city! The food is DELICIOUS!!!

    As a mixologist myself, the drinks are on point. Skirt steak tacos are the truth. Definitely try the red sangria margarita and a mint margarita.

  • Review 68 (2016-08-09 - Rating: 4)

    Good sit down Mexican place. Can get busy during the prime hours. The food is pretty good and margaritas appropriate. Nothing really stands out about the place, but is the largest seating Mexican joint in the East Village.

  • Review 69 (2021-06-27 - Rating: 5)

    My comfort food. I love coming here and getting the taco salad. The quality of the food is always great and their drink selection is unique. I love the Vampire marg (sangria and marg).

  • Review 70 (2019-09-03 - Rating: 5)

    I give this a 5 because it is what it is -- which is a straight forward Mex place, unpretentious & casual. Ok so the walls are all black, not my choice making it darkish... but the food was very good. If youre in the east village and have a hankering for Mexican it is a good choice.

  • Review 71 (2018-09-20 - Rating: 4)

    I thought it was very good and reasonably priced. I had the chicken tacos and the tilapia tacos. Both were very good. Service was also very good the ambience was nice. I would definitely go back. I would give it a 4.5

    Hanger steak was phenomenal and fajitas were solid.Elote was okay and the white wine was subpar. But the steak and accompanying yuca fries would bring me back.

    This place is amazing for brunch. Entrees are less than 15 bucks with a mimosa or bloody Mary. The service is good, the food is good. Really nothing bad to say about this place.

  • Review 75 (2013-07-14 - Rating: 4)

    Ok so attempted to do Fat Buddha one Friday evening with a girlfriend, but not knowing the environment and area. We found it wouldnt be the spot for us to have a great dinner and catch up, though the 4 hour happy hour was extremely inviting. So in our hunt to rectify the issue and quickly we came upon this wonder. The hostesses were inviting and helpful in suggesting the best dishes at the time. The drinks were heavenly and service was on point. I recommend signature mojito camion (awesome!). This particular evening (because I will be going back) I had the mahi mahi special over white rice, roasted pineapple and and cream corn sauce. My girlfriend had the duck which she liked. We also had a side of brussel sprouts that grilled or sauteed either way they were Delish!

    We stopped by for lunch. The service was excellent even though there was only one person covering the bar and tables. The waiter was friendly and provided prompt, attentive service. The place is roomy and the vibe is welcoming and comfortable. The food wasnt amazing Mexican food, but it was tasty and we enjoyed our meals. Prices were reasonable.

    A great spot for brunch on a budget. Excellent cheap food made even better with the addition of a free drink!

  • Review 113 (2021-07-07 - Rating: 5)

    The steak tacos were really good. Not enormous but cheap $12 for 3 and enough food for me. Outdoor covered seating as well which works well in the rain.

    Solid, cheap brunch spot. Complaints about service are overblown, mostly from non-New Yorkers who expect Chicago style treatment everywhere they go.

    Some of the best mexican/spanish/latin food in the east village! Im a big fan of their coca-cola carnitas, and the green sauce that comes with it!

    Great brunch deals- highly recommend the huevos diablos plate.

  • Review 134 (2023-09-26 - Rating: 4)

    The good news is that pandemic pricing has not driven brunch prices up. Bad news is that a cocktail is no longer included. Its still a good East Village deal and service is always pretty good. My last visit had over salted bloody Mary mix but overall its a good Mexican East Village spot.

  • Review 153 (2022-10-26 - Rating: 4)

    -Good presentation, good flavor. Guacamole needed a little salt but it was fresh and almost perfect. It was served in the tiniest container which made it hard to dip the chips in though.-Good wings.-Coconut mojito was OK but there was no mint at all in it??-Burrito bowl was served in a tasty fried tortilla chip situation and that was delicious.-Affordable!

    Nice atmosphere, good service but it was the playlist for me -semi old school hip-hop! The food - decent I had the pastor and cod fish tacos. They were good but I dont think Ive had the best on the menu. The medium sized margaritas and sangria was a decent price and 😋. I definitely will invest another visit to this spot --word is bond!

    5 adults + 2 babies never worked out so well. We got there at 5pm (because babies) and were set up with exactly what we needed for outdoor dining. Service was kind and attentive. Food and drinks were excellent. This is my sisters neighborhood place and I’m sad it’s not mine; I’d be there weekly!!!

    This is probably my favorite restaurant in all of Manhattan. Theyre amazing. The food is delicious. The drinks are always the best! They have many flavors for their drinks, too.the outdoor seating here is spacious. I felt they were organized at a safe distance from each other. I keep coming back because they keep me happy every time. I recommend El Camion Cantina, HIGHLY.
