This review comes from a dude who has eaten Mexican/Tex-Mex for 30 years so we'll keep that in mind. To start, the parking lot, ambiance and decor feels right on course. Service was fine for a 1pm lunch on a Tuesday so that got them another star and a good tip. However, the food is just...not...good. I understand to some degree I'm very protective and probably pretentious about cuisine south of the border but I just had glaring inconsistencies across the board.- Chips were good, the salsa was all lime, cilantro stems and seeds. Heat level was fine for me but for a chip salsa it seems a bit much. I got some guacamole as well which I'm pretty sure was just smashed avocado, I saw no tomatoes, onions or tasted any lime or salt in it. - Got a burrito and hard beef taco. The burrito came out on an uncooked tortilla with red sauce that I'm not entirely sure was enchilada sauce, could've easily been tomato sauce since that's all I could taste from it. After scraping that off, I realized the ground beef inside was bone dry. It looked like dust. This tells me they drain all the grease and fat from the ground beef (WHY) which I'll have to accept for the "healthy" aspect of ground beef. Which it never will be. But whatever.- So I tried to mix it with the refried beans. No salt, no flavor, the cheese that was melted on them did all the heavy lifting but even the texture was off on some of the beans. The rice wasn't much better, just white rice mixed with likely that same tomato sauce. Not good. - The taco shell was crunchy and not stale, so we've got that going for it. However, same dry ground beef. No lettuce, no onions, no tomato, no sauce no nothing but white cheese (Cotija? Oaxaca? Unsure). Tapatio couldn't save it, I tried. Overall, maybe my standards are way too high or too different. I'll accept that. However, I still think the flavor inconsistencies are enough to warrant that I wasn't entirely wrong. Service was fine albeit I didn't feel entirely too welcome but I didn't feel neglected or anything negative either. Just felt like another lunch ticket

We just popped in for a quick appetizer and had a great experience with our waiter, Angel. He was so fast, friendly and fun to talk to! He hails from the Gulf of Mexico. We were craving jalapeno poppers and these were just okay. They were nice and crunchy but lacking in seasoning and flavor. The dipping sauce was also pretty bland. I requested an extra sour cream which was $0.99. Beautiful presentation, though, with a fresh orchid. We'd love to come back and have dinner here sometime.

Food is amazing. Have eaten here many times and never disappoints. Their shrimp tacos are great, probably the best I've ever had.

Sorry, this was a huge disappointment. The cheese sauce was thin, the seafood chimichanga had 2 shrimp, 1 baby scallop, and minimal artificial crab.We will not be back.

El Campestre is clean and lovely, the service is good, atmosphere is great, and the food is delicious. I love chicken pollo and the first time I had it was the best I'd ever tasted!! The second time over was still very good but fell slightly short of that first time. I guess maybe it depends on who's cooking? But don't dismay, I do highly recommend it. I doubt they make anything badly. Oh! And do try the churros for dessert. Filled with goodness and drizzled with chocolate...decadent! This is a seriously a great place to eat! I cannot imagine leaving disappointed when there's so many great dishes to try! We love El Campestre!

Another local favorite with a family dining atmosphere. Their Molcajetes are out of this world good. Expensive? Yes and worth it when you really want to treat yourself to something special with beef, chicken and shrimp. Their smothered burrito is also tasty and my other favorite is their Five Enchilada meal (beef, chicken, bean, cheese, mixture) is insanely delicious with the ranchero sauce over it for under $15 a tasty deal. The lunch specials are terrifically priced.Great ambiance. Awesome mixed drinks especially if you like Margaritas which are often on special. I've ever only had one incident with staff, the manager, who didn't want to take my fulfilled punch card which entitled me to any dinner on the menu for free and he tried to say the Molcajete was not part of the deal YET nothing on the punch card or menu indicated he was right.

Drinks are great and so is the food. Mariana needs a raise. If you go there ask for her. Tip well and tell them to give her a raise.
