Cafe El Camino - PLAISTOW

I tried their arroz con gandules, maduros, alcapurria, and chicken empanada at a recent farm festival They were the only Latin tent and I take any opportunity to eat my favorite alcapurrias, but unfortunately I was greatly disappointed. I paid $28 for everything and the only thing I enjoyed was the maduros.The rice was cooked with way too much water so it was mushy and to make matters worse, some grains were still undercooked. The alcapurrias were also very underwhelming. I’m Puerto Rican and grew up eating alcapurrias, so I’ve had enough to know what good tastes like and these were not it. I regret that I bought them and the rice. I’m bringing the empanada home for my son and hoping that’s at least good enough for him to enjoy.I’m surprised to see how well they’re rated Maybe the food is better on site. Regardless, I’ll be skipping this tent next time.

Business was like going to a Taco Bell for authentic Mexican food. Nothing authentic about the Puerto Rican food there. Americanized instead of authentic. Food was less than lukewarm.Way Overpriced!!! The only thing that was good was the 3 leches cake.Cashier was extremely rude. Wasn't done eating inside the restaurant and he was rushing us out to accommodate other customers on the waiting list.Overall, poor quality food and bad service. Food in Lawrence is much better and authentic. Wouldn't recommend anyone to this restaurant.

Absolutely wonderful. If you're looking for Puerto Rican food, this is your stop.The mofongo just doesn't get any better. If you like plantains cooked a variety of ways, pulled pork, chicken wings and things that are fried to golden perfection, this place will be your jam.Not sure if you like plantains, even know what a plantain is or if you like Puerto Rican food? All the more reason to stop in! Get the sampler and try a little bit of everything.Dietary restrictions: Mostly gluten free options on the menu

Ordered catering from Cafe El Camino for my Memorial day party and it was absolutely excellent. Pork, rice, empanadas, all amazing. Everything was packed perfectly and it was ready for pickup right on time. All my guests raved about the food. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great catering option.

Visited here for the first time for Mother's day and I was impressed. Nice and clean restaurant. The guy who helped and took our order which is the owner's son was very friendly and cordial. The food was delicious, authentic and fresh! We will definitely go back ?
