We stopped in to skip the traffic after an airport run. I felt bad telling my family that this was probably the worst food I'd ever been served in a restaurant. I didn't want to be critical as an out of town guest. But they all agreed that it wasn't too good.
I ordered a combo of beef taco, beef burrito and cheese relleno. The beef was unseasoned and flavorless. Remarkable really because Mexican style seasoned beef is so easy to make: add onion, garlic, Cayenne and you're basically there. I ate both the taco and burrito but I forced them down. I had a 2nd bite of the relleno and confirmed that it was so bad that I would not eat it. I don't even know how that is possible.
The red sauce on mom's enchiladas was not good either. She barely ate her plate. Different versions of the same tasteless beef.
The fresh chips and salsa we're good. The queso appetizer was okay but they apparently topped it with pan scrapings from the carnitas pan? Greasy and not very creative.
Dad's shrimp dish was the best tasting but here's the thing...ten minutes from the restaurant he had a bathroom emergency. Literally pulled over, grabbed a roll of T.P. and ran for the bushes on the roadside. A 74 year old man in the bushes blowing up! (Photo of the bushes, see the orange shirt) Another 10 min and mom needed to stop at the eat-n-park to do the same.
Sorry to have to write this review, but people need to know and more importantly, the restaurant owner needs to know. Basic family style Mexican is easy food to make but El Campisino is not pulling it off.
