BEST MARGARITAS IN TOWN! I have been visiting this locally owned and operated establishment for about 4 months my only complaint was that i could not have a tequila margarita to comlipment the great food, issue resolved they now offer a full bar. Those who havent visited do so and you really need to appreciate the decor and the food trust me its different in a good way. very unique. Great place to have a nice dinner or a good drink. they offer great service and the family who owns it is always around ready to help and accomodate, try the cheesecake chimichanga with the rasberry sauce or the seasonal pumpkin spiced flan. Cant wait to go back and continue to see this new business blossom .........many blessing to the owners and thanks for your great food and service.

Ok, gave this place a 2nd chance.  Went there for the first time for the lunch buffet and was unimpressed both by the food and the service.  After reading some of the good reviews I decided to give it another shot.  My bad.  Seriously, does this place have the runniest refied beans in Bakersfield?  Although I wasn't crazy about the food, it was edible, the service was awful.  I could give the service a break the first time I was there, they were kind of busy.  Only this time there was maybe 15 people in the restaurant and not once did I get a dirty plate picked up nor did I get a refil on my soda.  The only time I even saw the waiter was when he brought me my soda.  Anyway Camino Real will not get a third strike from me, two has been enough.

I can't disagree more with these last two posts. My husband and I have been in on three different occasions and were very impressed each time. Their menu is gigantic, with all the traditional Mexican offerings in addition to lots of original and vegetarian dishes too. The food, service, and atmosphere are stellar, and while this place is still getting off the ground, they're doing every thing right.

Disappointing! We had a party of four of us, I was excited to try to eat at a new place. The place was fairly empty, and the couple of tables that were occupied already had their food and conversing with the staff (conversation of drug deals going on under previous management in the bathrooms). I don't know about you, but if I'm going to an establishment for the first time I sure don't want to hear anything like that. Then it took what felt like forever to get our food (possibly due to the awkward conversation between staff and their friends, visiting). When our plates finally arrive we get tiny cups of beans (I think mine was the only cup that was full). The rice was placed onto our plates much like the picture (stuffed into a cup then placed down). On to our entrees, each of us got a 3 entree dinner plate (which priced out to over $11 per person). Everything came back skimpy, the kitchen was obviously afraid to add meat to our tacos, cheese to our enchiladas, rice and beans to our plates. I've spent far less money at other places and the food be overflowing from our plates, not to mention better tasting.
