    6:00 Friday night. As expected place was packed, noise level was ridiculous, service was catch as catch can. Food, as always, was good. Would not repeat.

    From the moment of entrance, you know that you are in an extremely popular venue. Locals are joined by those seeking a destination restaurant. The decor is fun and the music is lively. Good to see that Happy Hour was extended to 6PM so that people who actually work regular business hours are able to advantage themselves. The menu never disappoints and the specials that are offered are great and creative additions. While the food is authentic, one must make note of the artistic and attractive presentation. Camacho's is fun!

    We love the feel at Camacho Garage and have always looked forward to going. This last visit was a bit disappointing the portions have shrunk and prices the same. last year and always before you got 3 tacos now 2 for the same price. The chicken enchiladas had very little flavor with too much cinnamon after taste, we sent them back. The margaritas are wonderful in flavor but the short glass is filled with ice so at $16.00 they are not worth it. Our server was lovely and took the enchiladas off the bill with out asking.

    Went in for brunch, sat at the bar mentioned to the bartender we had read on Instagram that tequilas were half-price on Sundays. She knew nothing about this. Normally we order very expensive tequila so we were more concerned that it was just the cheaper to kill us that we’re half price sort of the opposite problem that a Bartender would usually have. I ordered food and specifically said I didn’t want anything spicy now I know I’m in a Mexican restaurant and that seems counterintuitive, but I have an ulcer and spice really does bother me so I specifically asked for if there’s anything spicy in it, ask the chef to not put in it if it can’t be made without the spice, I will happily order something else. She said no problem and of course, the first bite is spicy now on the upside I will say that the manager a male I don’t know his name. He was great. He was super helpful. Came over right away and offered to get me something else. This was also after I had ordered a side of sliced avocado, which never came. I had to remind the Bartender of that so at this point, I didn’t even want anything. I was just happy to drink my mimosa and keep it moving. He did get me a very plain rice beans, salmon but at that point I was so annoyed that it just completely killed it for me.
