I just have to shout this out — El Camino Real is one of those places that makes you pause and say, “Yes, this is exactly what I was craving.”
From the moment I walked in, the vibe was warm and welcoming and you could tell they care about every dish. But the real star? Their barbacoa consomé. Every bite felt like the kind of authentic, deeply-flavored comfort food you dream of. The meat is tender, full of savory richness, the broth around it is balanced with spices and warmth, and the tortillas served alongside make it perfect for dipping and pairing.
The barbacoa consomé here doesn’t play — it’s insane in the best possible way. I’ve had barbacoa before, but this one hits differently. It’s the kind of dish you remember and want to come back to again and again.
If you’re looking for real-deal Mexican flavors — not just the surface level — and a dish that makes you feel like you’ve found a secret favorite, put El Camino Real on your list. You won’t regret it.

Great authentic Mexican cuisine. Dishes were fresh and delicious. The service was good and owner came and greeted the customers as well. The place was busy as it should be. Loved the authentic flavors of the dishes. Will surely visit again when visiting Kansas City.

The food is amazing, I had the lunch enchiladas with green sauce. They were fresh, chicken was juicy, chips and salsa are a bit spicy so if you don’t like spicy skip the salsa. Prices are very reasonable. Service was a little slow for 2pm but still nice and friendly. It’s very minimal in terms of the dining area but that is fine as the food was great!

What a great spot for authentic Mexican food. They start you with chips & salsa, but include cups of fresh onion, lime, and cilantro. Really good flavors in the salsa. Ordered the Alambre entree. This a great dish that combines pastor, carne asada, chopped ham, chorizo, cheese, onions, green peppers, avocado, tomatoes, and a side of both beans & rice. It also comes with choice of tortillas. Went with corn tortillas and they were perfect. The entire dish is bursting with flavor! The service was great. Everyone was so friendly. I love this place!

Kansas City KS has a wealth of Mexican/Hispanic restaurants; El Camino Real is one of the best for quality food and reasonable prices. Bonus: they serve late into the evening.

The asada tacos are very delicious and so are the al pastor tacos. The service is pretty prompt and greeted immediately when arrived. I highly recommend this place

The food was good, but I think it was overpriced for carne asada and a bottle of Coke It was almost $23. There’s only one piece of steak.
