El Camino Family Restaurant

The beef taquitos and beef hard shell tacos were outstanding as usual! Also their guacamole is the best! Creamy or guacamole mix, you can't go wrong!

We just love this place. The best service. Its like we are part of the family. Food is always great. Its a weekly visit for us.

Great place for Breakfast. They have Lent menu. Servers are always attentive and friendly.

If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I totally would.

This restaurant embodies what the term "family owned" truly means. As soon as you enter, you already feel like family with their warm greeting and friendly service. And this happens at EVERY visit. Thank you Marie and Omar for being so amazing every time.

The food is amazing! I've ordered off their catering menu and their price is honestly the most affordable compared to the other local restaurants for catering. Their giant burrito, flautas and chicken enchilada casserole has been our hospital faves.

Also, bring cash!

Happy eating!

So I stopped at this place for some Caldo de pollo today. My niece isn't feeling well and I wanted to bring her some caldo. I ordered the large size. Brought it home to and put it in a large bowl for her to enjoy. This is a large. It had 2 small pieces of chicken. Almost $19 bux and that's it!? Wth? The young man in front is so kind, friendly and helpful. I've never been here and I was contemplating coming back but I'm so disappointed in the soup that I won't! So if this is a large, who gets the chicken?. Terrible.

On Mother's Day, one of the busiest days of the year and we decided (my wife and I) to treat my mom, sister and niece to their family size burrito . The service was out standing when you walk in everyone who's behind the counter greets you telling you "Hello and Welcome" with a smile even while they were taking orders and giving people who also places their take out lunch/ dinners the previous ordered. The ambiance was great it felt like a little restaurant in Mexico. Looking around you can tell the people who were eating enjoying their food. This giant family burrito made with carnitas, rice, beans and cheese was superb. For our family of six including my great nephew who's five enjoyed our dinner, my sister and brother-in-law were treated to the Dodgers game (they won by the way) and by the time they arrived everyone was ready. We all agreed the carnitas was outstanding it melted in your mouth even my mom was saying "This taste just like mom's cooking" I've heard of their food and how great it tastes and I can tell you without doubt this you will not go wrong and trying them out. Thank you everyone who helped with our food from the person who took our order, the chefs and especially those behind the counter who was helping everyone who came in and the young gentleman who help this handicap person take two giant burrito trays to my car. For those of you who haven't tried visiting El Camino your missing some great food. I will definitely be coming back.

This is a small family owned Mexican restaurant but the best Mexican food you will find anywhere. The Menudo is the best I have ever had anywhere. The staff is friendly and service was prompt. This is not a large place, You may have to wait a little bit if you get there when it is crowded but totally worth the wait. We try to go here at least every couple of months so I can get my Menudo fix.

My wife and I went to El Camino Restaurant:

13545 Telegraph Road
Whittier, Ca. 906045

Tuesday morning, and it was pouring rain, we got Pozolle (I think this is how to spell it) to go returned home got back into our pjs and watched a movie while eating our pozolle, and man was it delicious!!!!!

Oscar greeted us with a big smile and took our order and we were out on our way home...

Now, we went there this morning for breakfast, and Oscar once again greeted my wife and I with a big smile and we sat down, we ordered our meals and they were promptly served, we spoke with Oscar and had a very pleasant conversation, the food was delicious.

This is a family owned and operated restaurant, there is a great vibe here, you are made to feel as though you are family, all their food is great, and has a very cozy atmosphere.

My wife and I strongly recommend this place to anyone looking to add it to their restaurants that they go to enjoy great food and atmosphere.

The food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable...

September 3 2022 great customer service.
I really enjoyed the hard shell shredded beef tacos and a Asada flour tacos were very good also. Small little family all Mexican restaurant in Whittier Next to pizza mania I have to say it's very good. Parking may be a challenge but it will be worth it the food was good definitely will be back enjoy.

Placed an order for pick up: menudo with corn tortillas and a torta. To my surprise, they are hand made, thick corn tortillas and were delicious!! Also ordered a carne asada torta with fries and it was happily devoured. Very friendly staff and order was ready when I arrived. I'll be coming back!!
