    Camacho Garage is an eclectic Mexican high end party spot! Drinks are on point! Delicious margaritas! Chips n Guac were very good but light on the tostadas. Overall value was so so. Food very tasty but expensive. We went with 3 people, didn’t order a lot and over $200. Happy hour n Sundays less expensive!

    The place is super fun. Music was very loud inside (so we sat on the patio). Service was lovely but slow and a bit disorganized. Everything was good but not fantastic, and given the price point, I would go elsewhere.

    Camacho Garage never disappoints ... For starters, the Herb Guacamole and the QUESO FLAMEADO (absolutely incredible) then to the main... de Birria Tacos with a side of Borracho Beans and all perfectly pairs with the Perfect Margaritas. PERFECTO

    We had dinner here before a concert and loved it. The space is great, spacious and bright with a very nice outdoor area as well. Large and inventive menu. I couldn’t decide what to order. We settled on guacamole and an assortment of tacos - everything was delicious and clearly made with very fresh ingredients. My sangria was also excellent. Service was super efficient- food came quickly- empty plates immediately removed. I wish I lived closer than an hour away because I’d like to eat here again.

    Great setting and drinks but the tacos left a lot to desire. we tried the Carne tacos that had no flavor on the beef at all. should have tried the brisket instead. The octopus cevice had too much avacado but the octopus potato taco was yummy. Also did not care for their salsas. we would go back from drinks but not for the food. Also didnt like that the hostess tried to put the table on top of each other when most of the place was empty. I really didnt want to listen to the couple on top of us.

    Always a great time at Camacho garage. The drinks are always on point, Ed is a phenomenal bartender. And we had a great waitress. I think she said her name was Dana, but she did tell us she was there for four years already. We had the guacamole appetizer with corn and bacon added into it, the Tamarron, chicken wings, shrimp, Aqua dolce, and everything was awesome For dinner, the entrées were a salmon, special with beans and banana, shrimp, tacos, the pork belly tacos, and the El Pastore tacos and a chicken and veggie tamal special and a double order of the fried plantains. We also ordered the piña colada crème brûlée, churros, and chocolate cake to all share. There were six of us dining so everything was shared food. Food is always on point, hot and amazing service. Your garage never disappoints. We just keep coming back for more and bringing friends and family to enjoy the experience as well. Most importantly, I forgot we had the coconut and hibiscus margaritas. They were amazing. One person had white sangria. Which is always good a true model from Shell and bones.
