Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I am not one to usually write Yelp reviews, but I could not resist for this place. I just finished dinner at Taquiera Camino Real and my entire experience was heavenly! Service- I came with a group of 18. The service was excellent- always asking if we needed anything, refilling our drinks, and making sure we were having the best experience we could have. The Food- AMAZING. I am from Southern California, and this place gets as close to authentic as it can! I got the fajitas mixtas (chicken, steak, and shrimp), and it came with SO much food! So much flavor and the tortillas were delicious! (I got half corn half flour, but recommend the flour). Also, the guacamole is really really good. $11.99 All in all, this mom and pop Mexican food place is definitely worth the trip.

I had high hopes, and Camino Real didn't disappoint. The food was very good and the service was great. The outdoor patio, with a to-go taco grill, looks promising for a few summer lunches. Along with the standard chips and salsa, I was also given a cup of soup. Chicken with thin noodles and vegetables, really hit the spot on a cold snowy day. That was a good thing since the salsa certainly didn't hit the spot. It literally had no flavor. I don't understand how that even happens. The exact opposite of the salsa, my taco dinner was great and packed with flavor. I had the chicken (Yelper recommended) and the al pastor. Both in soft corn shells we hot, fresh and delicious with a little heat. Rice, beans, radish, and a roasted pepper and I had a great lunch. If they fixed the salsa and turned up the heat in the dining room a little, it might have been a 5 star lunch. I'll definitely be back.

The fact that there was no alcohol was quickly overshadowed by the fact the service was best i had in this area and the food was great while not being expensive. Mouth waters thinking about the next time I will go.

Very good! My family of five had a wonderful meal. 4 stars for no margaritas/alcohol. Did not disappoint for our first time! The five of us each had different dinners, zero complaints. Tacos, alambre/fajitas, flan. We will be back :)

Living in Los Angeles for 20 years this place is authentic! Can't wait to come back again soon. Super nice staff, sweet atmosphere, and delicious authentic Mexican food.

I really want to like this place more. Really, this is a three stars rounded up from two and a half. Expansive menu, good serving sizes, fair prices, clean place. The tacos just left something to be desired. I had the taco dinner plate with tongue, cabeza, and marinated pork for my choices. The marinated pork was really tasty. The tongue wasn't bad, though chewier than I care for. The cabeza was pretty lousy tasting- almost fishy, which is rarely a good sign. Served with nice grilled onion, fresh radish, rice and beans, and on very fresh tortillas. My wife liked her chicken tacos, though I didn't try it myself. The place was fairly full for a Saturday afternoon. Service was friendly and relatively prompt. It does not have beer, in case you were hoping for a cerveza. Like I said, I want to be able to give this place higher marks. I'll go back and give it another whirl, but I'll skip the head and tongue, and pass on trying the tripe. I'll stick to Lupita's and El Rey for the more "adventurous" tacos. Edit: I forgot to mention, they have gated parking, which really doesn't hurt in this neck of the woods.

We found this place just after exiting the Hwy. on the way to another restaurant. Looked interesting and very authentic and it lived up to our expectations. Great fresh authentic Mexican cuisine, Alambres Camino Real was excellent, the guacamole was fresh and the salsa & chip were the best I've ever tasted. I would go out of my way to come back next time we are in the Detroit area. Very reasonably priced for what you get.

Everything I had (tacos dorados w/ potato, gordita w/ al pastor, and chorizo taco) was delicious, but the chorizo taco was especially outstanding. So good that I ordered two more to take to lunch the next day. With all of that food, plus horchata, my bill was $10.80. I will definitely be back. My new favorite restaurant in Mexicantown. The only downside is that there is no alcohol.

It was our first time there on March 14 and were pleasantly surprised. Other Yelp reviews were right on. Great selection of the usual taqueria fare with many different kinds of meats if that is your thing (cabeza, tongue, etc) We had chorizo tacos and they were great. Good service, clean and plenty of safe parking so we'll be back.

Great chicken tacos, giant space will accommodate your giant party, A+ service Tucked just a little off Springwells, the space is gorgeous and multifunctional. You can even get tacos on the fly near the entrance if you change your mind about table service between your parked car and the front door. Menu is big and mixed. Some of my seafood favorites, like the shrimp/octopus cocktail and whole fried fish, are here too. I found everything delightful, esp. the servers who make easy science of a giant floor plan under pressure. No beer/bar, but great juices. Definitely worth a visit.

Great find big Al P. Camino Real is a taqueria in a beautiful converted house seconds away from the I-75 Springwellls exit. I had a 3 Taco dinner ($5.75) with 1 Choirizo, 1 Al Pastor, and 1 Steak. My daugter has the Chicken Quesadillas ($6.50). The tacos and quesadillas were huge, and well spiced. The meat was a tiny bit overcooked and chewy, but still delicious. The rice and charro beans were perfect. The service was excellent, and the waitstaff were very attentive and ahem, easy on the eyes. They lose a star for no chips and salsa, but given the size of the meal, I did not miss them too much. Folks, this is one newcomer to watch.

Are you a fan of authentic Mexican food? If so, I got nothin' for ya in this review. This review is for the companions of those people that love authentic Mexican food. Look for my husband's (Dave P.) review if you want to know about chorizo tacos, etc. So, for the "Taco Bell is too spicy for me" crowd, of which I am a member, let me tell you about my meal. Yum. A torta sandwich that has chicken milanese on it. Crispy fried chicken breast, my friends. And it was good. Of course I pulled off all of the onions, tomatoes, peppers, etc. But what was left was perfect, crispy, cheesy, chickeny heaven on a yummy roll. They don't have chips and salsa, which disappointed me. Maybe in the future it will be added to the menu. Speaking of menu, it's pretty basic: tacos, quesadillas, and tortas. Pick your meat and get to eatin'! Also, no fountain drinks. We think we got charged almost $4 for our bottled waters, but language was kind of a barrier and we just paid it. So, if you love good Mexican food, and you have a friend, SO, or family member that doesn't know it from anything else....take them here. It's a great Mexican place that serves stuff even a whimp like me would eat. Thanks to Yelper Lorna for letting us know about Camino Real!

The sound track to this review is "Hotel Yorba" by the White Stripes Apropos as this review is right out of Jack White's home turf youtube.com/watch?v=DZPE… "I was hungry With my eye on some taco fare I had fifteen people in my car tellin' me the way to go if I dare to Taqueria Camino Real Converted house is modern, decor and waitstaff pleasing to see But they choose not to to set the heat above 60 degrees for me. "Well its 1 2 3 4 ain't no elevator at the Taqueria Camino Real I'll be glad to see you later What they got inside is hospitality" Damn it was cold. The first thing we noticed in this mild February day was that you could see the brand new modern thermostat flash 60 degrees from across the dining room. I took off my coat and my teeth started chattering like like a set of castanets. And one visit to the rest room makes you really appreciate the "warmth" of the dining room. Other that that, the deco and atmosphere is nice. If you like wood, your appreciate the natural wood tables and chairs where some table tops are solid planks of wood. 4-Stars for decor. "I been thinking of a Taco place down by I-75 Rodger's been there, he think it's swell but I think that's all jive. Chorizo's decent, Al-Pastor's bland as bland can be. Best I can do, rather that you know who, is a 3-stars out of me. "Well its 1 2 3 4 ain't no elevator at the Taqueria Camino Real I'll be glad to see you later all they got inside is hospitality." I ordered the two taco lunch for $4.95. The Taco's are larger that a Los Altos or Mi Pueblo taco. I though the Chorizo was very tasty, but the Al-Pastor was bland. The marinated Pork could not be tasted through the Onions, Cilantro and corn Tortilla. I also thought that the Spanish Rice was tasteless bits of orange colored foam. The Ranchero Beans with some bacon could have saved the meal. They tasted great, but they were served cold. And in that dining room on this day, you don't need more cold beans. But what really cheesed me off here is that I ordered water to drink rather than purchasing a soda. Instead of the expected glass of tap water over ice, I received bottled water that I had to pay for. Now it's not like the extra dollar they charged broke my bank, but they could, at least warn me there was a up charge for water. "You'll prob'ly say I'm silly thinkin' childish thoughts like these but I'm so tired of hipster reviews and i'm gonna write what I please This place has potential Perhaps the outdoor patio will help me to see The best the Yorba hood has to offer as long as the riff-raff don't come after me "And its 4 5 6 7 grab your umbrella Listen to me and not the other fella all they got inside is inconsistency"
