HOW has this place stayed in business for so log? The food is absolutely terrible. I'd rather eat frozen burritos from Safeway, I kid you not.
The decor on the other hand is kinda groovy (the only reason I gave this place 2 stars).

Yes, the decor is a time warp, but it wouldn't be the same place without it.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Chimichanga at this place, I get it with the sauce and cheese on top...YUMMMMM!

There are only two things you should get here:  1) The carnitas special.  2) The margarita pitcher.  I hate the decor.  Four stars.

I need to listen to my own advice.  I decided to try the beef burrito and it was a total dud.  My Mexican, Iranian, and Columbian lunch pals are all sticking with the carnitas specials from now on.

"Wow, this place tastes so different."

And that euphemism should point to the fact that from that day forward, I knew what food poisoning tasted like.

Go here to check out the crazy decor and get your drink on.  Good god man the pitchers of long Island ice teas (10 smacks I think) and margaritas are the bomb ditty .  The salsa is very very hot...and i like hot  but too hot for my taste buds...foods not the best but its fun to go there...I've been  their a couple of  times now and always have a great time the wait staff are jolly and  they joke around with ya.  I 'll go back!

This place ain't great.

But it passes for food, and occasionally decent food at that.

Not good, not delicious... but decent.

It's probably the bottom-tier of "sit down" mexican joints in this town.

A bit on the bland side, but the salsa's okay and the margaritas are FANTASTIC.

At least a star and a half of this review goes to the nice, strong- you're walking home margaritas.

Maybe if you share a pitcher, it'll kill any bugs you might catch from eating here.

It's always empty (never a good sign) but there are always coupons available, and being a cheapskate, I eat.

This place has average food, pretty good salsa, and the strongest margaritas for the price of anywhere I've been in Sacramento...
The best part is the decor.  There is a genuine shrine with fake candlelight and photos of some people, and inside walls are covered with epoxy covered waxy slices of wood.  Fascinating.

FATMAN ..

went to this place because, as another yelper said, i had myself an entertainment book coupon. that and the fact that the old lady can be a pain in the ass when it comes to deciding on a place to eat. jesus. with all the indecisiveness you'd think we were buying a house. so i took charge and decided on camino real. we've been here before about a year ago maybe. i don't remember it being this shitty. i mean the interior was outdated and dirty like i remember it, but the food was better so i thought.  starting w/the chips and salsa, i was'nt pleased when i found half of a saltine cracker in my chips.  but moving on to my food, i did'nt dig having my burrito "wet" (which was'nt posted on the menu) especially since it the sauce they put over it was all runny. not good. she had the fajitas which were ok. i guess the highlights would include the homemade tortillas that came with it and the salsa. in short i probably won't return. glad i only paid half price.( like $16.)
