★★★★★ 5.0 Fabiola Larios · Jan 2026

We ordered two mezcals with a beer and a queso fundido with veggies and it was amazing, love the vibe, love the food and the service was amazing Mariana was the best waitress ✨💖

I’ve come here probably a dozen times since 2015. Always fantastic. The huevos diablos is one of the best brunch dishes in the city imho. And $7 cocktails is tough to beat!

Have lived in the East Village for a long while and eaten here more than 20 times. My favorite Chicken Mole $25 was dried out and hard to cut into, though the sauce was great. My friend’s Chicken Enchiladas $19 were literally strung out dried and served cold. Sent them back and the new ones weren’t much better. (And didn’t get anything taken off the bill for sending cold food back.. !) Such a disappointment. What happened to this place we used to like so much ?! The cooks don’t care anymore ? Just slap food on a plate. The only saving grace was the lovely waitress. Avoid this place. Go to Yuca on Ave A & 7th instead. The food is fresh. Tonight at El Camion it felt like we were served unloved leftovers.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Carlos Leon · Jul 2025

Overall, the food felt overpriced and the portions weren’t very big as you can see from the chimichanga plate I ordered. The restaurant is small with tight spaces but it was clean and service was timely. For the price paid for food, portions should be bigger and have better flavors.

★★★★★ 5.0 Terixo Smitix · Nov 2025

Yelp's platform connected me with my new favorite place. The mood lifts your spirits and the staff responds quickly. Be sure to try what made this place popular. The employees combine warmth with support. This spot deserves to remain open.
