El Camino Nuevo

One of our favorite places. Their food is good with great prices and the service is always friendly. Their margaritas are very good! We enjoy talking with the owners who are always friendly. Great place for a good meal and margarita!

The food was just ok. The salsa verde wasn’t good, to me. I got a cheeseburger which was standard. My other half got a taco plate. Which was “just ok”. Our server was very attentive. They didn’t have booth seating, which is something we prefer, although not a deal breaker.

I spotted El Camino Nueve after leaving the Ruidoso Tattoo Expo and thought I'd give it a try. I selected to eat on Patio as the weather was beautiful. My waitress was very friendly, personable and attentive. Food wise I ordered the pork carnitas with double beans no rice, and also had a order of complimentary chips and salsa. The green salsa for the chips had a wonderful taste, and a decent but not to hot heat. The pork carnitas were tender and well seasoned. Beans I could've used actually a little more considering it was doh le but nonetheless they were good. Now the star takeaway is for the red sauce served on the side of the carnitas. It wasn't bad, not spicy, but it had a bitter after taste. I know red chile has a little bitterness to it, but it was more bitter than I usually taste. In any case it didn't ruin anything for me. I mostly used the rest of my green salsa on it. I would likely stop in again if I'm in the area.

Average place. Got the ground beef tacos🌮. The tacos themselves were decent. They were a bit plain. Not much flavor. But the shells are good. The rice and beans are ok🫘🍚. The portions for those are a little small compared to other places. The waitress was also not the friendliest. She seemed a little grumpy. But it’s a cute spot, heard the margaritas🍸 are really good. Come for the vibes, not the food lol.
