Always a hit, never a miss at El Camion. A bit on the pricey side, but plenty of food to share if you’re on a budget. The chips and guacamole are above par here, so be sure to save room for your entrée!

Just as I remember it...we used to live in Alphabet City several years ago and have missed our go to spot in the neighborhood. After going back there recently it's as good as we remember which makes us sad for not having it around the corner still. Great margaritas and the tacos and steak dishes are the best. Great spot.

Normally a great experience but still don’t understand the 7 dollar guacamole which is the size of a baby ramekin. You need to order one per person if you want more than a teaspoon each.
