★★★☆☆ 3.0 Sharon Rose · Mar 2025

* This is not authentic Mexican food * I should’ve read the reviews before coming to save myself a trip, although I did see the star rating and it feels overrated. The chips and salsa were good and a nice sized portion, although the tortillas were over-fried. I ordered two pork tacos, a chicken and a fish: I wish I got two fish. I knew when they came out in flour tortillas that I was in for a big let down. The fish was beautifully cooked though, and did pair well with the mango ‘salsa’. The pork was under seasoned and a little watery. The chicken was very heavily seasoned with lime and dry/ tough/ chewy. The flavors didn’t pair well and everything is missing cilantro/ onion/ flavor, and the hot sauces available did nothing to help. Personally, the raw flour tortillas ruined the meal. Th

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.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Michael Khan · Oct 2025

El Camion is one of those off-the-beaten-path spots you’re glad you stumble upon. I’ve been a few times, and everything I’ve tried — from the steak and chicken tacos to the burrito and quesadilla — has been excellent. The flavors are bold and distinct, and their house-made hot sauce stands out with its deep smoky, chipotle flavor — easily one of my favorites anywhere. I wouldn’t call it fully authentic Mexican, but it’s definitely its own thing — different in the best way. I really enjoy their flavor profile, though others might see it differently. That unique twist is what makes it memorable. Small spot, great food, and totally worth the stop if you’re in the area.

If you want to risk your fish tacos being over cooked and over fried get Monday-fridays if you want absolute PERFECTION every. single. time. with flaky tender loaded fish order on Saturdays and Sundays because that cook is amazing! never disappoints. I eat here very often and have always experienced this. Still optimistic they figure it out because this is my guilty craving and I drive over 40 minutes. Five stars on sat-sunday!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Lisette Valera · Aug 2025

If you’re looking for authentic Mexican, this is not the place to go to. Staff were friendly and it was cute inside! The vinegar-like taste in the steak tacos was overpowering. Tortillas were a little soggy. Pricey for tacos.
