Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I grew up on Mexican Food (SoCal) and have to say tjis place rocks! Best Mexican fare in Central Illinois by far. Clean, reasonable prices, great service and wonderful food... Need I say more?

After hearing a lot of different stories in regards to this restaurant I gave it one more shot. After walking in the restroom, turning on the light I was totally freaked out by the number of roaches I saw. At lease 10 some dead some alive. I will never return. Stories I have heard, rubber band in salsa, gum in carry out, maggot on table, roach in silverware, & rat in dinning area.

My husband and I came about this little gem tucked away in the town square in Canton. Just a block from our hotel we stopped in for a late dinner just before closing. The staff all greeted us with a smile and were absolutely wonderful! My hubby had grilled shrimp and I had the steak fajita quesadilla. The food was delicious! We each had the 20 ounce margarita as we celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. Our waitress came by to check on us often and even brought us a dessert on the house for our anniversary treat. I cannot say enough about the fantastic family of El Camino Real........they make customers feel right at home. Highly recommended!

I had an absolutely delicious meal here when I was staying in Canton on business in July 2013. It was actually quite surprising. Something must have been wrong with the AC because it was HOT in there. I had a chicken fajita quesadilla topped in queso sauce and a bean burrito - it was so good it was exciting. I would definitely go back.

Excellent food and excellent service. Their horchata is one of the best I have ever had. We recommend it to everyone we know.

Although I miss my mexican food in SoCal, this place was pretty good. Clean, good prices, and big menu with all the classics. Our server was friendly and called us senoritas...you know that kinda thing makes it feel authentic. HA! I ordered the nachos fajitas. It was a mountain of typical fajita veggies and chicken, pico de gallo, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. Best thing about this place is the freaky fast service. I mean seriously, they worked magic in that kitchen. My only complaint would be that my chips got soggy really quick. I preferred to use the chips from the free basket the gave to the table. So glad to see some new places popping up in town. Now I have options beyond pizza and McDonalds! Support local businesses!

Took the family out for a bite with some friends. Four adults and three kids. We were seated pretty much right away, chips and drinks in under five min, the way it should be. Servers were pleasant and casual / professional. Had the pork carnitas, I think, cooked in orange juice and something else. HUGE serving of lean, tender pork that was roasted and then grilled for a crispy exterior. I don't know how they got such lean pork to be so moist. Excellent. The only complaint I have is the same problem I have with a lot of places that use a lot of lettuce. It comes from a bag and tastes bad to me.

This is by far the best Mexican place in town. The food is good and the prices are reasonable. The staff are very friendly and more than willing to help you. The Chips and salsa are amazing. The salsa seems to be made fresh as it is slightly different each time we go in for dinner. It has lots of cilantro so if that is not your thing than you might not like the salsa. My favorite meal is the carnitas dinner. But there are many other things that are just as good.

Suddenly it seems as if Canton has some real choices when it comes to Mexican food. We now have two fairly high profile places to choose from and in my opinion they are both great. Both places have similar food and a similar pricing model. Both places offer generous portions of delicious Mexican food. I think El Camino Real wins out by being more visible as they are located right on the square in downtown. I also feel that they have a more interesting decor, I really love the brightly painted booths. In general I feel that you get your food a little quicker at El Camino Real as well. I think the things that make El Camino Real come in on second place are their chips. While the salsa is delicious, the chips themselves are very plain, slightly thick, and have almost no salt on them. Another place where they lose out is the building interior. This is in an old building with VERY high ceilings. Because of this, it is very difficult to be heard in here due to the echoiness. I understand that there is little they can do about this, I just thought I would mention it. Overall this is a great place for terrific Mexican food.
